27、dia page. They argued about whether the cat was a boy, girl or neither. Wikipedia finally locked the page to stop people editing( 编 辑 ) it.

28、mals because they didnt have to be old, young, boys or girls. He was angry that some people cared so much about Garfields gender. It seems like quite an unnecessary argument to have.

There are two kinds: stories in which private detectives solve a crime, usually a murder; and stories in w
34、hich a police detective solve a crime. Both kinds of detective story are equally popular. The first private detective-PI for private investigator in the USA-was probably Arson Lupin, a Frenchman. However, stories about this detective are not read nowadays. For most people the first, and perhaps the

All the Sherlock Holmes stories have been translated into most languages. The best known is the Hound of the Baskervilles. The first police detective was probably Sergeant Cuff

Crime fiction has been as popular in the USA as in the UK, and some of the most famous American writers
37、 have written detective fiction. The most highly regarded is probably Raymond Chandler whose PI, Phillip Marlowe, is the archetype(典型的) private detective. Also popular, although not so well-written, are the Perry Mason novels by Erle Stanley Gardner. After Conan Doyle, the most widely read private d
38、etective novelist is the English novelist Agatha Christie. She created two unforgettable characters- Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. Agatha Christies have also been translated into most languages. Detective fiction is as popular today as it has ever been, probably because many novels have been adapt
39、ed for television which introduced them to many people who do not usually read new detective crime fiction. 38.Which of the following is a detective story writer? A. Hercule Poirot B.

41、y all wrote stories about private detectives. C. They all wrote stories about police detectives. D. They all wrote stories about American detectives. 41.

42、er on television nowadays. C. Private detective stories are better reviewed than police detective stories. D. A successful writer of detective stories has to write private detective stories. D Maybe you think that many parents have a lot to learn about what their children are doing online. According
43、 to a recent survey by Symantec Company, which makes many kinds of security(安全)software for home and business computers, theres a “huge difference between parents and their kids“. Parents of children under the age of 18 were asked to estimate(估计)how much time their kids spent online each week. The p
44、arents said about three hours a week on average(平均).The kidsages 8 to 17who took the survey said they were spending an average of seven hours online each week. “I really think thats because of the time they spend on their mobile phones and computers, when their parents dont even know theyre online,“
45、 says Symantecs Bill Rosenkrantz. “Remember, cellphones, PADs and video game machines all make it possible to surf the Internet. You dont have to sit in front of a computer screen.“ And what are the kids doing on the Web? “Theyre doing things, like downloading music, theyre going to social networkin
46、g sites, theyre actually shopping online when parents dont think theyre doing those kinds of activities,“ says Rosenkrantz. “Theyre also, we think, doing some things with research papers and other kinds of activities with homework maybe where theyre getting some information online and they really sh
47、ouldnt be.“ Nearly a quarter of the kids (23 percent) might do things their parents would not agree. So how does a modern parent deal with this type of situation? “The first thing we strongly recommend is that parents spend time with their children online,“ Rosenkrantz, says. “Sit down with them and understand what theyre doing. Secondly, have a dialogue about it. Have a dialogue about whats an acceptable activity, whats an unacceptable activity, and set some ground rulestime online, things you can and cant do. Really have those co
