He wanted to be a successful doctor, but for some reasons he never found enough patients.
To pass the time, he began to write stories and send them to the newspapers.
Conan Doyle"s stories were about a clever detective, Sherlock Holmes.Conan Doyle wrote
that Sherlock Holmes lived in Baker Street in London, and people with problems came to
Sherlock Holmes with their problems, too.He was able to solve mysteries (疑难案件) that the
cleverest policemen in England were unable to figure out (解决)．
Sometimes Sherlock Holmes could solve a mystery without leaving his chair.He listened
carefully to the information his client (委托人) gave and figured out the answer.At other times he
spent days or weeks looking for clues (线索)．Sherlock Holmes travelled to different cities and
countries to solve the mysteries.Sometimes he wore_disguises,_pretending to be an old man, or a
sailor.Holmes did anything to find out the answer to the mysteries he was working on.
Sherlock Holmes is the most famous detective in English literature (文学),but many people don"t

There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care.To water his flowers,he used
two buckets.One was a shiny and new bucket.The other was a very old and dilapidated one,which
had seen many years of service,but was now past its best.
Every morning,the gardener would fill up the two buckets.Then he would carry them along the
path,one on each side,to the flowerbeds.The new bucket was very proud of itself.It could carry a full
bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出)．The old bucket felt very ashamed because of
its holes:before it reached the flowerbeds,much water had leaked along the path.
Sometimes the new bucket would say,"See how capable I am!How good it is that the gardener
has me to water the flowers every day!I don"t know why he still bothers with you.What a waste of
space you are!"
And all that the old bucket could say was,"I know I"m not very useful,but I can only do my best.
I"m happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me,at least."
One day,the gardener heard that kind of conversation.After watering the flowers as usual,he said,
"You both have done your work very well.Now I am going to carry you back.I want you to look
carefully along the path."
Then the two buckets did so.All along the path,they noticed,on the side where the new bucket was
carried,there was just bare(光秃秃的) earth；on the other side where the old bucket was carried,
there was a joyous row of wild flowers,leading all the way to the garden.

C．Wornout.
D．Plainlooking

C. His manner.
D．His leaking.
B. take pity on the old one
C. show off its beautiful looks
D. praise the gardener"s kindness
B. Because it stayed in its best condition.
C. Because it was taken as a treasure.
D. Because it had its own function.
