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 afternoon, Bob and Jane were walking along a quiet street when they heard a big noise from the street corner. They ran there and found that a small car had knocked into the side of a truck. Both the car driver and the truck driver were hurt.
“Bob,” said Jane, “run back down the road to Mrs Day's house. Ask her to call the police and the ambulance(救护车). Hurry up. I'll stay here.”
Bob went off as fast as he could. There was nothing Jane could do but wait. She knew that when people were hurt in an accident, they shouldn't be moved.
It wasn't long before the police car and the ambulance arrived. The policemen got the car door open and moved the man out. Then they got the truck driver out. Luckily, the men weren't badly hurt, but they were both taken to hospital. The policemen thanked Bob and Jane.” You were very good to act so quickly when you saw the accident. Thank you for all your help.”

The class teacher thought that hobbies were important to children. So she encouraged all her students to have one, and sometimes she arranged hobby shows for their parents to see.

One morning the teacher told the class to have a holiday and get their hobby things to school before 5:00 p. m. A hobby show would be held the following afternoon.

So in the afternoon, the students with nothing to show did their lessons at school as usual, while the lucky ones had a holiday to go home for their hobby works.

When the afternoon lessons began, the teacher was surprised to see that Tommy was not there. "I don't believe Tommy has a hobby, "she thought. However, at a quarter to five, Tommy arrived with a beautiful collection of butterflies(蝴蝶) in a glass case. The teacher liked the samples（标本） very much and put them on a desk in the classroom. But, to her surprise, Tommy picked them up again and began to leave.

"What are you doing, Tommy? "she asked. "Those things must stay here until tomorrow afternoon. That's when the parents are coming to see them. "

"I know that, "answered Tommy, "and I will bring them back tomorrow, but my brother doesn't want them to be out of our house at night."

"But, aren't the butterflies yours?" asked the teacher.

"No," answered Tommy." They are my brother's."

"But Tommy, you should show your own hobby here, not somebody else's!"

"I know that, "answered Tommy. What surprised her most was the answer, "My hobby is watching my brother collecting butterflies."
