Passage Three
If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year.

Some people do not like anything to be out of place; they are never late for work; they return their books on time to the library; they remember people’s birthdays; and they pay their bills as soon as they arrive. Mr. Hill is such a man.
Mr. Hill works in a bank, and lives alone. The only family he has is in the next town: his sister lives there with her husband, and her son, Jack.

He drove home from the bank at the usual time, driving neither too slowly nor too fast; he parked his car where he always parked it ,out of the way of other cars, and he went inside to make his evening meal. Just then, there was a knock at the door. He opened the door, to find a policeman standing on the door-step.
