If you get on the Murder Mystery Lunch train from London's Victoria Station，you will surely meet such an "experience"．Passengers（乘客）take part in a detective game and find the "murderer" on their way to Kent．

As soon as the train leaves Victoria Station，a woman will run into the carriage（车厢）and cry，"I have been stabbed（刺伤）！” Then a young man called Matt will rush into the carriage and shout，“There's been a ‘murder'．Don't be afraid！"Then passengers will have time to question the characters．including a detective，a newspaper reporter and a policeman about what's going on．
After the meal，all the passengers will sit together and raise their own ideas of the "murder”．Those who are able to solve the case can get a bottle of champagne（香槟）as reward．
One ticket of the Murder Mystery Lunch train costs about f310，including a lunch with champagne．It doesn't sound too expensive．But the question is that it is difficult to book a ticket because the train is too popular now．After all，many people have a detective dream，don't they？

“Were you shipwrecked(船遇难) ”I asked．
“No, my friend,” he said．“Marooned．”
I had heard the word before, and knew it meant a cruel(残忍的) punishment often used by pirates(海盗)
leaving a man alone on some distant, empty island
“Marooned for three years,” he continued, “living on wild goats and fish．But I’m in a great need for real English food back home．You don’t have a piece of cheese, do you Many nights I’ve dreamed of cheese．”
He continued．“Well, tell me your name．”
“Jim, ” I told him．
“Well, Jim, ” he said, looking around and lowering his voice to a whisper, “I’m rich．” I was now sure the poor man was crazy, but he repeated his words．“Rich, I say!Now, Jim, that isn’t Flint’s ship, is it ”
I began to think that I had found a friend, and I answered him at once．‘It’s not Flint’s ship any more．Flint is dead, but there are still some of Flint’s men aboard, and that’s bad news for us’
“A man with one leg ” he asked, fear in his voice．
“Silver ” I asked．
“Yes, Silver,” he said, ‘that was his name．’
“He’s the cook, and their leader,too．” And I told him the fight between Flint and the cook, and the danger we were now in．
“You’re in trouble, Jim,” he said when I’d finished．“Well, Ben Gunn will help you．Will your squire(乡绅)be generous if I do, do you think I don’t want him to give me a job, but will he give me one thousand pounds out of money that’s really mine ”
“I’m sure he will,” I said．

作文
Daniel is a member of my team called Sunshine. He is a Junior Three student and he is 15 years old. He is smart and hard－working. It's also generous of him to share things with us. He often helps us when we are in trouble.
In his free time, he not only likes reading detective stories, travelling but also likes watching programmes about sports. But since this term, he has devoted most of time to study and has made great progress.
He is good at sports, especially running. He came first in the race of school sports meeting this year. He is such a brave young boy that he successfully helped the police solve the case of kidnapping. Because of this, he was presented with “Award for Bravery”．
But recently, he has got some problems. He is suffering from the coming exams. He feels so stressed that he can't sleep well at night. I think that he worries too much and should arrange his time well. I hope he thinks my advice is worth taking.
