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

One day, I went to see my last patient(病人), an old woman. In the doorway, I saw she was struggling (挣扎) to put socks on her swollen (浮肿)feet in the bed. I stepped in, spoke quickly to the nurse, read her chart noting. I was almost in the clear that she was not in serious condition.
I asked, “Could I help put on your socks? How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they're better today. The nurse mentioned you're anxious to see your son. He's visiting you today. It's nice to have a family visit. I think you really look forward to seeing him."
"Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not yours." She said with a serious voice.
I was surprised as I helped her with the socks. She told me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that was the main cause of her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head no and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.
Each story is different. Some are detailed; others are simple. Some have a beginning, middle and end; others don’t have clear ends. Some are true; others not. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard — without interruption(打断) or judgment(评价).
It was that woman who taught me the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, in an unexpected accident, I became a patient. 20 years later, I sit all the time — in a wheelchair.
For as long as I could, I continued to see patients from my chair. I believe in the power of listening.
1. How was the old woman?
A. Her feet were swollen. B. Her sugars were high.
C. She was not badly ill. D. Her blood pressure was better.
2.How did the doctor know that the old woman’s son was visiting her?
A. The nurse told him. B. The old woman told him.
C. The woman’s son told him. D. The doctor got it from her chart noting.
3.What did the old woman think caused her health problems?
A. Her son’s not seeing her. B. No one listening to her story.
C. The medical care of the hospital. D. The distance between her and her son.
4.When the patient told the doctor her stories, what she needed might be ______.
A. keeping smiling B. interruption or judgment
C. listening without interruption D. communicating with each other
5.Which statement is NOT right according to the passage?
A. Her son lived close to her house.
B. The old woman didn’t need the doctor’s treatments.
C. Listening is powerful medicine.
D. The doctor has to “walk” with the help of a wheel chair.
