For a long time Mum and I lived a peaceful life.Then one day,Jim came over for lunch wearing a blue suit with a short brown tie and a green shirt.I couldn't believe this was going to be my new stepfather.It couldn't be true that my beautiful mother would marry someone who dressed like a clown (小丑).I hated him.
Lunch was terrible.Mother kept trying to start a conversation,but neither Jim nor I would say much.Finally I offered to bring in the dessert just to get away from the clown.
Something unpleasant happened,but I didn't mean (故意)to do it.I guess the plate slipped.But one minute I was handing Jim his blackberry pie,and the next,dark purple berries were oozing (渗出)all over his shirt and tie.

Tape﹣Measure Murder is a short story by Agatha Christie.In the story,Miss Politt,the dressmaker,finds that Mrs.Spenlow is dead in her house in a small village called St Mary Mead.Everybody,including the police,thinks that Mr.Spenlow is the murderer (凶手) because he is so calm and quiet after discovering his wife's death.But after the police talk to Miss Marple,she finds out the real murderer.
The best part of the story is when Miss Marple explains how she solves the mystery (疑案) by noticing a tiny pin (别针) on a policeman's uniform.Her explanation is very clear and clever.Miss Marple is my favorite character in the story.I think she is very special because she is just an old lady but she is even smarter than the policemen.I never thought that an old lady could be the main character of a detective story!
Can you guess who the murderer is?Read the book to find out!You will enjoy the story very much because the ending is so surprising.
One day,Susie was unhappy when she came home from school."What's the matter,my dear?"asked her mother,drawing her to her side and smiling.
"All our class must hand in compositions tomorrow.We must write 12lines at least.But I can never write one.I'll have to go to school without a composition,for I won't copy one from a book,or ask you or papa to write one for me."
"That's right,"said her mother."You'll be happier with a poor composition,if it's your own,than with a fine one written by somebody else.But cheer up.Run into the garden and play.I'll call you in half an hour.Don't think about your composition now.Just have a good time."
It seemed just a few minutes to Susie before she heard her mother calling her.She went into the house immediately﹣her hands full of sweet flowers,and her face red with exercise.
Then her mother asked her to sit by the window with a nice piece of paper and a pencil,and write something about what she could see."Never mind your composition; do this to please me,and we'll talk about that later."
Although Susie thought her mother's request was strange,she knew she always had a good reason for everything she did.So she did as her mother requested.
As she looked out,she first saw the western sky and some bright,sunset clouds."Oh,mother,what a sunset!"
"Don't talk.Just write."
The pencil began moving rapidly across the paper.She wrote about the sunset clouds,the look of the distant hills,the streets,the river,the garden with its flowers,and the birds flying past the window.She forgot all about the terrible composition!
Just as she had reached the bottom of the page,her mother came in and said with a smile,"Well,Susie,how does that composition come on?"
"Composition!You told me not to think about it,and I've never thought of it once.I've had such a nice time writing about what I could see from the window."
Mrs.Smith took the paper and read what Susie had written.She said,"There,Susie,that's a very nice composition,really."
"A composition!Is that a composition?"Susie asked in surprise.
"Yes,my dear,and a very good one,too,if we find a title for it,"replied her mother.Then she added,"I'm sure it will please your teacher,as it does me.You see,it's easy enough to write a composition if you have anything interesting to write about."
