The mystery had reached its climax (高潮) The man had undoubtedly been murdered. However, no one present knew who could have killed such a kind person. It was therefore time to call in the great detective, who gave one searching glance at the corpse (尸体), and then used a microscope.
"Aha!" he jumped as he picked a hair off the dead man's coat "The mystery is a mystery no longer. We have only to find the man who lost this hair, and the criminal will be in our hands. " The chain of logic was complete, and the detective started to do his search.
For four days and four nights he moved unobserved through the streets of New York, scanning closely every face, looking for a man who had lost a hair. On the fifth day he discovered a man pretending to be a tourist and his head was enveloped in a cap reaching below his ears. The man was about to board the Gloritania, and the detective lost no time in following him on board.
"Arrest him!" shouted the detective, and then, drawing himself to his full height, he took out the hair. "This is his," said the great detective, "and it proves his guilt. "
"Remove his hat," ordered the ship's captain firmly.
It was discovered that the man had no hair.
"Aha!" said the great detective without a moment's hesitation. "He has committed not one murder, but about one million!"

Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska .At first glance it does not look like much .It is a woman’s shoes of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique about this shoes is where it was found .It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail（路线）used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known .Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1,500 stairs carved outfaced? Or did she throw away goods that she didn’t need in order to travel lighter?
Over 100,000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires .Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh（艰苦的）wilderness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.
The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure .But what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.
