The murder in the forest
In the depths of the forest park, we found a high?class convertible(敞篷车) with a few leaves on it. A man died in the car. The police quickly blocked the scene.
“What's the clue?” asked the detective.
“The forensic expert(法医) estimated that he had been dead for two days. No signs of homicide(凶杀) were found. The victim had a small bottle of potassium cyanide( 氰化钾) in his hand, so it was initially identified as suicide(自杀).
“Have you found the footprints of a third party?”
“No. The ground is covered with leaves and there are no footprints. ”
“Please search the scene carefully to exclude( 排除) the subjective(主观的) impression of suicide. It's not a suicide; it was a man who moved his body here after he killed him. From the analysis of the fallen leaves, if the car has been parked in the forest for two days, the car and the body should be certainly covered with fallen leaves; if there are few or a few fallen leaves on the car, it proves that the time for the car to stop here is not long. Criminals can only walk away. It is estimated that the criminal has been away for less than an hour. ”
After a careful search, the police found many clues and arrested the murderer on the same day.
66. Which of the following words is not suitable for the detective?
A. Quick?thinking. B. Reasonable.
C. Careful. D. Generous.
67. What can we know from the story?

F
The police find most criminals because somebody tells them who the criminals are. They find other criminals by using science and their computers. When there is a bank robbery, the police first look through their computers for the names of the bank robbers that they know about. Then they go and talk to any of these robbers who are not in prison. They ask them where they were when the robbery happened. If any of these people cannot give a good answer, the police will often use science to find out if one of them is the robber.
Many criminals leave something of themselves at the places of the crime like a fingerprint or a hair. Or they take something away on their shoes or clothes, like dirt or animal hair. If they leave behind some of their blood or their hair or a piece of skin, it will have their DNA inside it.
Everyone's DNA is different and their fingerprints are also different. So, if a criminal cuts himself during a robbery or leaves his hair, or even a small piece of skin, scientists can find out what his DNA is. The police can then ask the suspect to give them his hair or some blood and see whether it has the same DNA. Many criminals are in prison today because of this kind of evidences .

十、 How to Keep Safe
Do you know that many dangerous things will happen if we are not careful enough? As a student, knowing how to keep safe is very important. First, we should obey the traffic rules. When the traffic lights are red, we shouldn't cross the road. And we should ride the electric bikes as carefully as we can. Second, we shouldn't swim in rivers because it's dangerous. We can go swimming with our parents in swimming pools. Third, we shouldn't tell strangers our ID numbers or codes when we are surfing the Internet. We shouldn't surf unhealthy websites. What's more, we shouldn't go out with friends without our parents' permission. If we are in danger, we can ask for help from our parents or teachers, even the police.
After all, life is very important. We should learn something about self?protection so that we can protect ourselves well.
