The mystery stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are famous all over the world.
The detective in his stories is called Sherlock Holmes. He solves mysteries in a most surprising way. His assistant, Dr Watson, watches with admiration and then writes up the story of the mystery afterwards.
This is a useful story writing skill. Because Watson is not very clever, the story remains a mystery until the end. The readers can sometimes pick up some clues before he does! Then, to make Watson understand the mystery, Holmes has to explain it all, step by step. So we, the readers, get to see it step by step too. Watson is almost as good a character in the story as Sherlock Holmes!
The very first time they meet, Holmes greatly surprises Watson. When they are first introduced, Holmes says to Watson, ‘How do you do? I see you have been to Afghanistan(阿富汗).’
Watson is too amazed by this to ask Holmes how he knows this. Watson has, indeed, been to Afghanistan. Later, he asks Holmes about it. Holmes explains that there is nothing magical about what he does. He gets to know it all by very, very careful observation(观察).
Observation One
Watson was introduced to Holmes as a doctor. Yet Holmes thought that the way he stood and walked made him seem like a soldier. So, this meant he was probably an army doctor.
Observation Two
Watson's face was quite dark skinned. But his wrists were pale. So his dark face was probably sun burnt. This meant that he had been to a hot, sunny country.
Observation Three
At the time, the British army had soldiers at bases in many parts of the world. So there were still a lot of places to choose from. However, Holmes saw that Watson looked very tired and he was always holding his left arm, as if it was painful. So, he had probably been with the army to a place where they were fighting. There was only one place where the British army was fighting at that time: Afghanistan.
1.The writer most probably created the character, Dr Watson, to ______.
A. give Holmes help when solving mysteries
B. show Holmes' careful observation
C. help readers pick up some clues about the mystery
D. get readers to see the mystery step by step
2. The first time they meet, ______.
A. Holmes explains how he knows Watson has been to Afghanistan
B. Holmes surprises Watson by telling that he has been to Afghanistan
C. Watson tells Holmes he has been to Afghanistan
D. Watson asks Holmes how he knows he has been to Afghanistan
3.From the passage we know that the British army ______ at that time.
A. only had soldiers in Afghanistan
B. had many army doctors at bases in many parts of the world
C. was fighting with several countries
D. was fighting with Afghanistan

“What is success?”Mr Gruber asked his 6th grade business class. It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.
“Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.” One student answered, earning laughs from all the students.
Mr Gruber smiled, but shook his head. “Tom, that is excess(过量). That is not success.”
“How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.
“Now we’re getting closer,” Mr Gruber smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and what you want.”
“Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs. Mr Gruber sighed. “I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus(与…比较) success.”
“Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?”James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.
“Quite right!”Mr Gruber clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.”
“What does this have to do with business?”Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy.
“Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.”
“What if I don’t have a family?” he continued to be difficult.
“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”
“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out.
“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Gruber corrected himself.
Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.
“So in the next nine weeks, we’re going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards.”
Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending?”
“You already are, Tom. You’re spending time with us!” Mr. Gruber laughed. ―Now, let’s see what you guys know about credit cards…”
1. What class did Mr Gruber teach?
A. History B. Science
C. Maths D. Business
2. Which student didn’t seem to be taking the class seriously?

C. Peter D. Sandy
3. How did Mr Gruber make his class lively and interesting?
A. He himself kept talking’
B. He just read from a textbook.
C. He showed a movie to his students.
D. He got his students to take part in a discussion.
4.. What do you think of Mr Gruber according to the passage?
A. Strange B. Patient
C. Shy D. Proud
5. What can be the best title of this passage?
A. Get What You Want B. Needs and Wants
C. Try to Get More Money D. How to Live Well

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering(递送) milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer (自动换币器) fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a coin out of his changer.
Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese and other milk products. If we needed to change our order, my mother would write on a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and put it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.
All of this was about more than convenience(方便). There was a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, as a result, making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every time my son’s friends ask what it is, I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
1. Why did Mr. Basille give the boy a coin out of his changer?
A. To show his magical power.
B. To satisfy the boy’s curiosity(好奇心)
C. To pay for the milk.
D. To win the family’s trust (信任).
2.What can be inferred (推断) from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?
A. He wanted to have tea there.
B. He was a powerful person.
C. He was treated as a family member.
D. He was fully trusted by the family.
3.Why is there no home milk delivery today?
A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
B. The government has stopped it by law.
C. It has been driven out of the market.
D. Its service is becoming worse and worse.
4.Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?
A. He missed the good old days.
B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.
C. He missed it for his milk bottles.
D. He used it to beautify the back porch.
