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 (冒險) 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 (靈感). 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 (隱形的). 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 (聰明才智). He is human, and this is what makes Holmes a true hero for all of us.
In the new series of Sherlock, most people thought Holmes was dead. But he returns after two years of hiding in the shadows. Now the whole city of London is in danger. What can Holmes possibly do? Uncover the mystery yourself by watching the new series!

At present, almost everyone has a mobile phone, but have you ever thought that cell phones      be bad for your health? A study shows that heavy mobile phone use may cause hearing loss(失聰).
This study shows that people who use cell phones for about an hour a day have a       time hearing some similar sounds, especially in their right ears. It is getting harder for       to tell the difference between the sounds of“s”and“f”，and“t”and“z”.
Researchers studied 100 people who used cell phones and       them with 50 people who did not. The study lasted for 12 months. What the researchers found was that cell phone users had more hearing       than those who did not use cell phones.
Besides this, our ears have many little       inside them. Too much noise will cause these hairs to get weak and       die. When these hairs die, it affects our ability to listen.
However, cell phone users don’t care too much       this study. One man said,“I’d be more worried about people who       MP3 players. They put those earphones in their ears and listen to very       music. I think that is more likely(更有可能的) to cause hearing loss than a cell phone.”
