D. Answer the questions(根据以下内容回答问题)
Agatha Christie was one of the greatest British crime writers. She introduced the public to her
literary character, the famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot in her crime novel in 1920. In total
she wrote 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, a billion copies of which have been


sold in English. Her books have been translated into many different languages ,including Chinese.
Each story she wrote involved a mystery that had to be solved, but perhaps the greatest mystery
is where she went for those 11 days. At the time of the disappearance in 1926, she was 36 years old
and married to Archibald Christie. Her mother had died in the beginning of that year and her husband
had left her alone to deal with her mother’s death. So she was very lonely and it seemed as if she
might not be coping well emotionally.
In the middle of that year, her latest book was published and the book reviews loved it!
Unluckily, soon after her book was published, her husband told her he was having an affair with a
young man and was going away for the weekend to be with her. On Friday, the 3rd of December
1926, Agatha Christie kissed her daughter who was asleep upstairs and drove away from the house.
Her car was later found abandoned(被遗弃的) on an empty road near a lake and so people began
the search for the talented writer. It was 11days later before someone recognized Agatha at a spa
hotel in Harrogate. She had been living there using another name all that time. On her return, she
never said much about what had happened.
Over the years, many people guessed why she disappeared. Some people said that she was
upset with her husband and lost her memory as he was having an affair. A few people even thought
that it was a publicity(宣传) trick to make sure that her newly-published book would sell well.
To this day no one knows for sure what happened and why. While books and even a movie
have been made about the mysterious 11 days, it would seem that even the great detective Hercule
Poirot would not be able to solve this mystery!

88. Who was Hercule Poirot?
89. What factor do we know that Agatha’s books have been known to the world?
90. Why did Agatha feel lonely in the beginning of 1926?
91. What was the date when Agatha drove away from her home?
92. People didn’t recognize Agatha when she had been at a spa hotel for 11days , did they?
93. Do you think Agatha’s missing was a publicity trick? Give your reason(s)!

么，为什么 dancing 以及最后又如何解决的。
