I've never been the kind of person to say, "It's the thought counts" (贵在心意) when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago when my kids gave me a present that blew me away.

For years now. I've been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just building.

In the front room, there is a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my children's growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each child's name and the date on which they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories. It's this one thing that's the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights that has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn't normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence (证据) of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is a piece of physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see.

Over the years, I've talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even thought the last marks were made ten years ago when my kids stopped growing.

So one day, my children decided to do something about it.

They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer whose work is about capturing (拍摄) the beautiful things in life, from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ball gowns. She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image (影像), turning them into a beautiful history of my family.

Three weeks later, my children's wonderful gift made its way to me—a life-size-photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents (代表) love and growth.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题或完成句子。

There is a "murderer" among us. You may wonder what is happening. Let me tell you!

If you get on the Murder Mystery Lunch Train from London's Victoria Station, you will surely have such an "experience". Passengers take part in a detective (侦探) game and find out the "murderer" on their way to Kent.

Before the passengers get on the train, a gentleman named Gray will greet them in front of the train. He is dressed in grey with a cat in his arms. Gray will be the first actor to meet the passengers. He will have a chat with them and drop some clues (线索) .

As soon as train leaves Victoria Station, a woman will run into the carriage (车厢) and cry, "I have been stabbed (刺伤) !" Then a young man called Matt will rush into the carriage and shout, "There's been a 'murder'!" Then passengers will have time to question the characters, including a detective, a newspaper reporter and a policeman, about what's going on.

After the meal, all the passengers will sit together and put forward their own ideas of the "murderer". Those who are able to solve the case can get a bottle of champagne (香槟) as a reward (奖励) .

One ticket for the Murder Mystery Lunch Train costs about $310. The price includes a five-course lunch with champagne and wine. The game doesn't sound very expensive, but the question is that it is difficult to book a ticket because the train is now very popular. After all, many people have a detective dream, don't they?
