四．段落
(A)
Mr Ken worded as a detective. He hoped to find the guilty and protect the innocent. He told Lucy about a recent case.
Mr Li, a rich man, bought a very expensive vase and showed it to his friends Jill and Jenny. But later, someone stole it. So Mr Ken went to his house to look for clues. He found a black pearl earring near the open safe. There was a lot of mud on the ground but the carpet in the room was clean. And he noticed Jill wearing a necklace with the same design as the earring. Jill became the suspect. She
admitted the earring was hers but someone stole it from her. What did all these things mean? Mr Ken thought no thief broke into Li’s house. He questioned Li and Li had to admit stealing his own vase for the insurance money. Who went to jail in the end? Instead of Jill, Mr Li was behind bars.
（B）
I wanted to see Jill again, so on my way home from work, I stopped at a telephone box and called her. I invited her to the cinema that evening. She agreed to go with me, so we arranged to meet outside the cinema at seven o’clock.
At that time of day, it is very difficult to get a taxi. I could not find one, so I took the bus instead.
I arrived at the cinema around ten minutes early. Next to the cinema is a bookshop, so I went in to look around while I waited for Jill. I started reading a book about world-famous crimes. It was really interesting! In fact, it was so interesting that I forgot the time. I was late.
When I arrived, Jill was really angry. She refused to speak to me at first. How could I make her happy? “I know!” I thought. “I will buy her some chocolate.” I went to the sweet shop and bought a large bar of chocolate. I was right-it did make her happy, and we went in to see the film.
(C)
Yesterday was a very busy day. I solved two cases. The first case was about a bank robbery. A man entered a bank in the city centre with a gun. He took away thousands of dollars. The bank manager called the police, but it was too late. The robber got away. The suspect in the case was Tim Smith. At first, Tim denied being the robber. He said he was watching a film in the cinema at the time of the robbery. However, I had proof. One of the customers in the bank at that time took a photo to Tim. He then admitted his crime.
In the second case, a lady called Susan Brown bought a beautiful vase for fifty thousand dollars. The owner of the shop called the police because Susan had used forged banknotes to pay for the case. We brought her to the police station, She said that she got the notes from the bank and that the bank clerk must have fooled her. However, when I searched her flat, I found half a million dollars in forged notes. She kept them in a safe in the wall. Susan then admitted printing the notes herself. I returned the beautiful vase to the shop.

四．段落/文章
（A）Hidden helpers
Not so many years ago, you hardly ever saw computers. Now they seem to be everywhere.
There are also many hidden “computers” in your home, but you might be unaware of them. For example, there may be one inside your TV set, telephone or washing machine. You are more dependent on computers than you know.
（B）Is a computer cleverer than I am?
The answer to this question is, for the time being, “No”. You have greater understanding of the meaning of things than computers and can also create new ideas of your own. However, one day computers may be able to do more things than a human brain. In the future, they may even be better at doing their jobs than doctors, judges and teachers.
This raises interesting questions. How will computers change our lives? Will we have nothing to do? Will computers make our lives better or worse in the future?
（C）How do we give a computer instructions?
We give a computer instructions by putting different programs into it. “Computer programmers” write computer programs. It is essential for these people not to make mistakes. Otherwise, the computer will not work.
