The world’s greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes, is back on our screens.
The new BBC TV series of Sherlock was broadcast in the UK on Jan 1. But the history of Sherlock dates back 127 years.
Since the creation of Holmes in 1887, he has been taking us on adventures (冒险) one after another.
The Sherlock series is a playful drama, covered in crimes and mystery. It gives us a modern Sherlock for a new generation, who solves cases with the help of the Internet, cell phones and GPS.
People look to Sherlock for both adventure and inspiration (灵感). Each case sends us on a mysterious journey with Holmes. The stories give life and color to our imagination: as he checks the crime scene, we join him and become detectives too, looking out for hidden clues.
Yet Holmes is no Superman. He cannot fly, or turn invisible (隐形的). But his powers are within all of us: reason, logical thinking and paying attention to detail. While an artist’s painting is his art, Sherlock’s art is his intelligence (聪明才智). He is human, and this is what makes Holmes a true hero for all of us.

A recent research shows that physical activity(体育活动) may help students do better in their classes. The research comes because educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like P.E. class.
Researchers go over the results of fourteen studies. Twelve were from the United States, one from Canada and one from South Africa. The studies appeared between 2009 and 2013. They included more than 55,000 children, aged six to eighteen.
Thomas Singh, one of the researchers, says the studies showed a relationship between physical activity and scores on subjects such as math, English and reading. Ms. Singh offers some possible explanations (解释):
“ There are, first, physiological (生理的) explanations, like more blood flow, and so more oxygen (氧气) to the brain. Being physically active means there are more hormones( 荷尔蒙) produced like endorphins ( 脑内啡). And endorphins make your stress level lower and your mood improved, which means you will perform better in class. Also, students who take part in organized sports learn rules and how to follow them. This could improve their classroom behavior and help them know what they should do.
All in all, the finding tells us that physically active kids are more likely to do better in school. Ms. Singh says schools should consider the finding before they cut physical education programs. 
小题1:What led the researchers to do the studies?
A.Schools’cutting physical activity.
B.Their interest in physical activity.
C.The tests including about 55,000 children.
D.Kids’unsatisfying schooling performance.
小题2:How many countries took part in the studies?
A.14. B.12C.2. D.3.
小题3:Which of the following is NOT one of the advantages of physical activity according to the passage?
A.Getting more blood flow.
B.Better classroom behavior.
C.Feeling relaxed and refreshed.
D.Greater ability to organize activities.

Once I went shopping on my first visit to Macao. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I enjoyed the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a        skirt. Not having much        to enjoy the sun in England, my legs were very white. In England this is not a fashionable look at all . Most women spend every sunny day out trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin, the better the look. I have tried to get darker but         works for me!
As I        one shop, the two shop assistants kept looking at my legs the whole time , talking quietly to each other in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend     we could leave. After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong. I complained about the shop assistants being very impolite . They     be talking about my white skin. My friend laughed. “They weren’t laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours.       , there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a lot of money is spent on them.”
It just shows that we are never happy with what we have. The grass is       greener on the other side.
