Uncle John wrote novels(小说) and made much money. On his desk there was a huge computer. “I couldn’t work without this old friend,” he often said. Uncle John’s books were all detective novels. So, when he was found in his room one morning with a bullet(子弹) in his head, it seemed just like one of his own novels. After Uncle John’s death, I came to stay in his house to do something for the funeral(葬礼).I had been there for two days when I noticed a message on the screen of the old computer. I was very surprised, because I thought the computer had been turned off. The message said, “You have a new e-mail!” When I read it, I thought it looked like the beginning of a novel. Later, more e-mails kept arriving. The story was about Jane, a young writer working on the first novel. She sent her novel to Jack, an older writer, and asked him to help her publish it. However, he published the novel himself and told others he had written it. The novel was so successful that Jack made much money and bought himself a house by the sea in Australia. Then I suddenly realized “Jack”was meant to be Uncle John. Three weeks later, I received the last one. It described how, after many years, Jane came to Jack’s house, they argued, and she pulled out a gun and shot him.I didn’t know what to do with the story. Should I show the e-mails to the police or not? If it was true, it might help the police catch Uncle John’s killer. However, it also showed that Uncle John himself was a thief.( ) 71.

Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of talks through which I learned lessons from his experiences.

I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience(耐心).Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging（挑战）for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing, but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life.”At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence.

But this hobby sometimes has serious results—at least to the players. For example, when people play tennis, sometimes they hurt their elbow（肘部）and in this way they develop “tennis elbow”. Also it is easy to hurt a knee in a football game. These injuries（损伤）happen while the player is having fun, but they still hurt.A few months ago, Kathleen Simmons, who loves playing volleyball, hurt her knee in a volleyball game. Her doctor told her that she needed a very difficult operation or she might not be able to play again. She felt very sad and didn’t know what to do.Then Simmons learned about “video operation”. With the help of this new science in medicine, doctors can now repair many injuries and get people back on the playing field and back to their jobs much faster. Simmons found a hospital that was using this new science and went to see the doctor there. The doctors told her the operation could help.For this operation, her doctor didn’t have to open her knee. Instead he put a very small camera lens（镜头）inside her knee. The lens sent back pictures, which appeared on a television screen. As he worked, he could see the inside of her knee on the TV. With the help of the large pictures on the screen, the doctor knew exactly what to do when he was making the repairs.Simmons started walking five days a fter her operation. “My knee hurt a lot the first few days,” she said. “But I felt better very quickly.” Now, six months after her operation, Simmons can do everything she did before her injury. “It feels like a new knee,” she said. “I can even play volley ball again.”99.
