A couple from Russia was once visiting Miami. They wanted to take a walk and to see the city, but they were afraid they might get lost. They did not speak any English.
After they left their hotel, they went to the first street corner and looked at the name of the street. Then they carefully copied the name into their notebook. They thought that this would help them find their way back if they got lost.
They walked for hours through the city, and suddenly they realized that they were lost. They found a police officer and asked for help, but the officer didn’t speak their native language.
After an hour they found a person who could help them. She was an interpreter（翻譯）who spoke both their native language and English. They explained that they didn’t know the name of their hotel, but they knew which corner it was on. They showed the interpreter what they had copied into their notebook, and the interpreter began to laugh.
The words which they had so carefully copied were “one way street”.

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, “Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”
Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”
I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”
“He must wish that already,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”
“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by pushing on steadily.”
Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare didn’t happen to fall asleep, the tortoise would never win the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never win the race. That’s for sure.”
I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.
小題1:The writer argued with his son because ______________.
A．he liked tortoises while his son liked hares
B．they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolish
C．he tried to teach his son a lesson but the son had totally different opinion

小題2:Sonny believed that the tortoise ______________.

A．boys who were unknown to Sonny’s father

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(觀察).
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.
小題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
小題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
小題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
