         Guess who is the most successful young writer in China? It is 24-year-old Guo Jingming, who
    earned $ 1.4 million last year, according to the Ne.7u York Times.
         Guo started his writing career in high school when he won first prize in a national writing contest
    in 2001. His first book, City of Fantasy, came out soon after the contest and went on to sell more than
    1. 5 million copies.
        Almost all Guo's novels include a shy hero who gets good grades. He mostly writes about the sad
    feelings of his young characters. These teenagers deal with loneliness by sitting alone for long hours
    under trees and on rooftops. "Xiaosi(Guo's nickname), I will always be with you!" A reader wrote in
    Guo's blog. "My main goal (目标) is to tell the story well and have everyone like it," Guo said.
         In fact, Guo is seen more as an idol than as a writer. His handsome outlooking, cross-dressing and
    strange actions make newspapers pay more attention to himself than his books. Many fans are eager to
    get his autograph.
        But today he faces what may be more dangerous threat (威胁): even younger writers. The past few
    years have seen the rise of a group of teenage writers, sometimes called the "Post-90s" generation.
    However Guo seems to have plans to meet them. Next year, he will hold a national competition for
    these rivals (对手).
    l. Why is Guo Jingming the most successful young writer in China?    
    A. Because he is the youngest writer.
    B. Because he lives in New York.
    C. Because he got the greatest achievement.
    D. Because he likes writing novels.
    2. When did he win his first prize?  
    A. In primary school.    
    B. In high school.
    C. In college.          
    D. After leaving school.
    3. The word "idol" probably means "_____" in Chinese.
    A. 年轻人    
    B. 模特
    C. 榜样      
    D. 偶像
    4. Who will compete (竞争) with G u o in the following years? 
    A. Famous writers.
    B. Some teenage writers called "Post-90s".
    C. Some readers.
    D. A shy hero.

    C. Guo wants to make every reader like his story.
    D. He wants to earn money through the competition.

    　　Detective stories are popular everywhere, and some of the world's best-telling writers have written detective stories．They have also often been women．The stories of Agatha Christie, for example, have been translated into most languages, and so have those of Ruth Rendell．

    　　Some people think that the Sherlock Holmes stories, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, were the first detective stories ever written．In fact, the first such story was published much earlier than the first Sherlock Holmes story, in 1841．It was written by the American writer Edgar Allan Poe and called The Murders in the Rue Morgue．The fictional detective was a Frenchman, Auguste Dupin, and the story was set in France．This was because at that time only in France were there such people as private detectives．

    　　The first detective novel－long story－was not published until 1856．It was called Recollections of a Detective Police Officer by Waters．Although it pretended to be a true life story of a real police officer called‘Waters’, it was wholly fiction and was written by William Russell．

    　　The first fictional detective to appear in a novel－though the novel itself was not a detective story－was Inspector Bucket in Charles Dicken's novel, Bleak House．The first detective novel to be written by a writer who was already famous for other kinds of novel writhing was The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins．The detective in this novel was called Sergeant Cuff and was based on a well-known real life detective of the time, Superintendent Foley．

    　　Wilkie Collins also created the first woman detective in his novel, No Name, though she was not an important character in the book．The first detective novel to have a female detective as the main character was The Recollections of a Lady Detective by Anon．The word‘Anon’is short for‘anonymous’which means‘unnamed’, so we do not know who wrote this noel．

    　　The first really successful female writer of detective fiction was an American, Anna Katherine Green．By the time she died in 1935, she had written over 30 detective novels．Sadly, no one reads her works today and she is almost wholly forgotten．
