"Look here, Watson," Holmes said after we finished lunch. "Please sit down. I want to talk to you. I don't know what to do, and your advice is important to me. You smoke your cigar (雪茄烟) while I explain."

    "Please continue," I said, as I lit my cigar.

    "Now there're a few important points in young James' story. One, his father cries Coo-ee before he sees him. Two, he talks about a rat (老鼠). I think young James is telling the truth (真相)."

    "So why did Mr. McCarthy shout Coo-ee then?"

    "Well, he was not shouting Coo-ee to his son. It was by chance that James heard. The Coo-ee was to call the person he was meeting. But Coo-ee is an Australian cry, Australians usually say it when they meet to catch attention. Perhaps Mr. McCarthy was meeting someone from Australia."

    "I see. But why did he talk about a rat, then?" I asked.

Holmes took a piece of paper from his pocket and put it on the table.

    "This is a map of Australia," he said. He put his hand over part of the map. "Now, Watson, what can you read there?" he asked me.

    "ARAT," I read.

    "And now?" Holmes moved his hand.

    "BALLARAT," I read.

    "Yes. That was the word the dead man said. It's a place called Ballarat. His son only heard the 'rat' part of the word. Old Mr. McCarthy was trying to say where his murderer was from, the town of Ballarat. The grey cloak is point No. 3. If James is telling the truth, there was a grey cloak (斗篷). So now we have an Australian from Ballarat with a grey cloak."

    "Great!" I replied.

    "And it's someone who lives nearby, as the Boscombe Pool isn't open to the public. Only people from the farm nearby or the Turner house can go there," said Holmes.

    "That's wonderful, Holmes!" I exclaimed.

Dear Amy,

You asked me about the gardens in Shenzhen last letter. You know that Shenzhen has built a lot of gardens.

Do you want to come here and have a look? I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours truly,

Li Hua

Some problems are difficult to solve in our life. However, there are a lot of number expressions （表达用语） that can help. Today, let me show you some examples. 

Sometimes we can "Kill two birds with one stone". That is to say, we can complete two goals （目标） with only one effort or action. But we must remember that "two wrongs don't make a right". If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him. 

When I was a young child in school, my favourite subject was Maths. My teacher used to "give me three cheers" when I did well in Maths, praising （赞扬） my hard work and good grades. 

When I was in high school, some of my friends once had trouble doing their schoolwork. In fact, they did not care if they could finish high school. But it seemed that they really got a surprise when they completed their studies and graduated （毕业） from high school. They were "on cloud nine". 

"Nine times out of ten", students who do well in school often find good jobs. Some people work in an office doing the same things every day at nine-to-five jobs. However, it's good to know that happiness at work isn't just about money. 

All clever people know that it takes some time to make your life better. This doesn't mean that you can't make small changes to make your life better in a few weeks or in a few days! Here is some helpful advice.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

Some people feel very busy every day. There are so many people everywhere. They have much work to do. But when you get up early, you will find fewer people and when you get on the bus, you will find it is almost empty

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

We always become so worried , because we are busy and may forget some important things. When you write down a plan, you start feeling more comfortable about your future and you will worry less in your life.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

Do you know that unhealthy food can make you feel unhappy? Once you start eating healthy food, your health will be better and your life will be better, too.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

Did you fight with someone lately? If so, call him or her and say sorry. Not only will you make him or her happy but you will also feel better.

Just as you see, simple things can help you live a better life, so you can use these simple tips to make your life better.

What else can you do to make life better? {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
