  Agatha Christie was born on September 15th, 1890. She didn't go to school because her mother wanted to teach her at home. She studied the piano and singing in Paris.

  She got married(結(jié)婚) in 1914 to a pilot and they had one daughter. During the First World War(戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)), when she was working as a nurse, she began to write detective novels(偵探小說(shuō)). In the hospital, she learned a lot about drugs, and she used these in her novels.

  She wrote her first novel in 1920. The hero(主人公) was a detective, Hercules Poirot. The book soon became a best-seller and made her famous.

  In 1928, Agatha Christie was lost. The police found her two weeks later. She didn't know anything. This was front page news in all the newspapers in Britain, and even today nobody knows what happened to her during those two weeks.

  In 1929, Agatha Christie went on holiday to the Middle East. She came home to England in 1930.

  After that, she travelled with her husband to the Middle East many times, and a lot of her later stories took place there, for example, Murder On The Nile. She also wrote the detective in the West End of London in 1952, and still on later.

閱讀下面這篇短文。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,完成表格中空缺的部分,每個(gè)空格不得超過(guò)兩個(gè)單詞。 
                                                   Riding the Trans-Siberian Railway
     Last summer, after completing our work in China, I took a trip of a lifetime on the Trans-Siberian
Railway. Leaving Beijing early on a Wednesday morning in July, my wife and I traveled through some
awesome (令人驚嘆的) countryside before we arrived in Moscow the following Monday.
    The first leg took us past the Great Wall and through the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. At the Mongolian
Republic border, we had a delay (耽誤) while the wheels were changed because the railway gauge is a
different size.
     On our way to the capital, Ulan Baator (烏蘭巴托), we saw herdsmen on horseback looking after
their cattle. There was a spectacular thunderstorm as we crossed a vast open plain. Later we had a quick
tour of Ulan Baator.
     Next, the train took us into Siberia. After a stop at Irkutsk, a popular holiday resort (勝地), where a tour
group left the train, we passed a beautiful lake, the Lake Baikal. Later, we saw some lovely wooden houses
in pretty, sunny countryside. This surprised us, as we had imagined Siberia as being covered in thick snow.
     Over the next few days, we passed through Novosibirsk, Omsk and other cities in the heartlands of the
Russian Federation. By now, our body clocks were losing their sense of time. We wanted to sleep and eat at
the wrong time!
     At last we reached Moscow. We were too tired and slept for 16 hours that night. The next day we went
sightseeing. We saw the Kremlin and some other great buildings in the Russian capital. Then, all too soon, it
was time for us to return to our home in London.
