     "Mister D'Arcy is not a policeman. He is, however, very wise. He knew the police would search his
apartment. He also knew how police think. So, he did not hide the letter where he knew they would look
for it.
      "Do you remember how Germont laughed when I said the mystery was difficult for him to solve because
it was so simple?"
     Dupin filled his pipe with tobacco and lit it."Well, the more I thought about it, the more I realized the police
could not find the letter because D'Arcy had not hidden it at all.
     "So I went to visit D'Arcy in his apartment. I took a pair of dark green eyeglasses with me. I explained to
him that I was having trouble with my eyes and needed to wear the dark glasses at all times. He believed me.
The glasses permitted me to look around the apartment while I seemed only to be talking to him.
     "I paid special attention to a large desk where there were a lot of papers and books. However, I saw
nothing suspicious there. After a few minutes, however, I noticed a small shelf over the fireplace. A few
postcards and a letter were lying on the shelf. The letter looked very old and dirty.
     "As soon as I saw this letter, I decided it must be the one I was looking for. It must be, even though it
was completely different from the one Germont had described.
     "This letter had a large green stamp on it. The address was written in small letters in blue ink. I memorized
every detail of the letter while I talked to D'Arcy. Then when he was not looking, I dropped one of my gloves
on the floor under my chair.
     "The next morning, I stopped at his apartment to look for my glove. While we were talking, we heard
people shouting in the street. D'Arcy went to the window and looked out. Quickly, I stepped to the shelf and
put the letter in my pocket. Then I replaced it with a letter that looked exactly like it, which I had made it the
night before.
     "The trouble in the street was caused by a man who had almost been run over by a horse and carriage. He
was not hurt. And soon the crowd of people went away. When it was over, D'Arcy came away from the
window. I said goodbye and left.
     "The man who almost had an accident was one of my servants(雇员). I had paid him to create the
incident."
     Dupin stopped talking to light his pipe. I did not understand."But, Dupin," I said,"why did you go to the
trouble of replacing the letter? Why not just take it and leave?"
     Dupin smiled."D'Arcy is a dangerous man," he said."And he has many loyal servants. If I had taken the
letter, I might never have left his apartment alive."

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his now place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult(成年人)I feared(害怕) him and felt bitter about him He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boy friends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling worried.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical(挑剔的)air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad in his new home in Arizona is back to me from where he was.

A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don’t laugh, it’s true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.

Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.

“We don’t get sick or stay well by ourselves,” says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research. The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.

Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too. Ferrer’s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.

We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said.

67. Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?

A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class.

B. Because her parents used to quarrel.

C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.

D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.

68. According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. We get sick or stay well by ourselves.

B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.

C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, lifestyle and environment.

D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.

69. The underlined word “coma” in Paragraph2 probably means ________.

A. surprise B. faint C. tiredness D. sadness
