1A01.爱情与金钱LoveorMoney内容简介:《爱情与金钱》讲述了：你是一名不错的侦探，是吗？如果是的话，那你得比沃尔什探长先找出凶手。沃尔什探长是名警探，他工作虽说慢了点，可十分细心。你是位“快手”吗？侦探是干什么的呢？侦探就是寻找线索的人。而线索就是告诉你谁是凶手的重要但又细小的事物。发现线索不容易，但本故事中有许多线索。有些线索有用——它们能帮助你，可有些线索却不利——它们妨碍你找到凶手。你得仔细点读，否则你会错过线索。但请记住：你不必相信人们说的每件事。凶手显然会撒谎，可能其他人因不同的理由也会撒谎。也许他们希望某人死去。但是谁希望呢？谁杀的？你能找出凶手吗？作者简介：罗伊纳•阿金耶米英国人，但在非洲度过了许多年。《爱情与金钱》是她为英语学生写的第一部故事。1ChapterTheClarksonfamilylivedinthecountrynearCambridge，abouthalfamilefromthenearestvillageandaboutamilefromtheriver．Theyhadabig，oldhousewithabeautifulgarden，alotofflowersandmanyoldtrees．OneThursdaymorninginJuly，Jackiecameinfromthegarden．Shewasatall，fatwoman，thirtyyearsold．Itwasthehottestdayoftheyear，butsheworeawarmbrownskirtandyellowshirt．Shewentintothekitchentogetadrinkofwater．Justthenthephonerang．'Cambridge1379，'Jackiesaid．'Hello．ThisisDiane．IwanttotalktoMother．''Motherisn'there，'Jackiesaid．'She'satthedoctor's．''Why？What'sWrong？''Nothing'swrong，'Jackiesaid．'Whyareyoutelephoning？Youaregoingtocomethisweekend？Motherwantseveryonetobehere．''Yes，Iwanttocome，'Dianesaid．'I'mphoningbecauseIhavenomoneyforthetrainticket．''Nomoney！Motherisalwaysgivingyoumoney！''Thisphonecallisveryexpensive，'Dianesaidcoldly．'TellMotherplease．Ineedthemoney．'Jackieputthephonedown．Shetookacigarettefromherbagandbegantosmoke．Shefeltangrybecausehersisteral-waysaskedformoney．Dianewastwentyyearsold，theyoungestinthefamily．ShelivedinLondon，inoneroomofabighouse．Shewantedtobeasinger．Shesangverywellbutshecouldnevergetwork．Jackiewentbackintothekitchenandbegantomakesomesandwiches．Justthenthebackdooropened，andhermothercamein．'It'sveryhot！'Mollysaid．Shetookoffherhatandputitdownonthetable．Shewasatall，darkwomanwithbeautifuleyes．Twobig，blackdogscameintothekitchenafterherandranacrosstoher．Shesatdownandputherhandsontheirheads．Jackieputthesandwichesonthetable．'Mother，'shesaid，'Dianephoned．Shewantsmoneyforhertrainticket．'Mollyclosedhereyesforaminute．Thenshestoodup．'ThisafternoonIwantyoutogetthehousereadyfortheweekend，'shesaid．'Oh，andpleasegotothevillagelaterandgetmytablets．''Yes，Mother，'Jackiesaid．Mollywenttothedoor．'Mother，pleasewaitaminute，'Jackiesaid．'PeterHobbscameherethismorning．He'sveryangrywithyouaboutthatletter．Helosthisjob，youknow．Whydidyouwritetohisoffice？Hewantstotalktoyouaboutit．''Well，Idon'twanttotalktohim，'Mollysaid．Sheopenedthedoor．'ButMother，youdon'tunderstand．He'sseventeen，anditwashisfirstjob.He'svery,veryangry.Hesays…hesayshe'sgoingtokillyou!Mollydidnotanswer.Shewentoutoftheroomandclosedthedoor.1克拉克森家住在剑桥附近的乡下，离最近的村庄约有半英里路，距离河有1英里左右。他们有幢大而古老带有美丽花园的房子，花园里有许多花和许多古树。7月的一个星期四早上，杰基从花园进了屋。她是个高大，肥胖，30来岁的女人。这是一年中最热的日子，而她却穿着暖色调的黄色衬衫和棕色裙子。她走进厨房去喝水，这时电话响了。“剑桥1379号，”杰基说。“你好!我是黛安娜。我想和妈妈说话。”“妈妈不在家，”杰基说。“她看医生去了。”“怎么了？出了什么事？”“没什么，”杰基说。“你打电话干嘛？这个周末你回...
