One day, Dr. Mortimer came to the famous detective Holmes and his friend Dr. Watson for their help with the u1death of his friend, Sir Charles Baskervilles. Sir Charles, a weak old man s2 from serious heart disease, was found dead without any sign of attack, but a terrible look on his face. He himself knew that a supernatural creature, the Hound of the Baskervilles, would kill him before it happened, because a letter written by Hugo Baskerville, the ancestor, w3him of the legend His nephew as well as his heir to the property, Sir Henry Baskervilles would then live in Baskervilles Hall.

Dr. Mortimer told Sir Henry about the legend. D4the possible danger, Si Henry still decided to live in Baskervilles Hall. During his stay in London, one of his b5was missing and he received a letter saying "if you value your life, keep away from the moor”. Watson went along with Sir Henry to protect him as well as report everything he found to Holmes. There, he met Stapleton, living together with his beautiful sister, Barrymore and his wife, the h6in the hall and other people .He was told that a prisoner escaped, who later turned out to/be Mrs. Barrymore's brother, and the couple were helping him by o7him food and old clothes of Sir Henry. Barrymore told Sir Henry and Watson that the initial of the person, whom Sir Charles was waiting for on the day he d8, were L.L. Then, they found out that it was Laura Lyons who wrote a letter to Sir Charles to arrange the meeting. She was in love with Stapleton, and he told her not to go there.

On his way back, Watson found that Holmes was actually there all the time, and he told Watson that Stapleton was the m9: Suddenly, they heard a scream and the prisoner was found dead because he was wearing Sir Henry's clothes. Now they knew for sure that Stapleton was after Sir Henry, because Stapleton was the next heir to the property.

However, they didn't have any proof, so they set a t10to catch him on site. Fortunately, Sir Henry was saved when the hound with blue flames was attacking him. Stapleton fell into the moor and died.

【题目】 After years of dedicated study, a young Chinese viola (中提琴) player has been accepted by the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire (伯明翰音乐学院), one of the most prestigious music schools in Britain.

Eighteen-year-old Wang Zi'an from Guangzhou was born blind. However, he has always had a passion for m1.Wang began playing an electronic keyboard at the age of four and later progressed to the piano and finally the viola.

With no sight, Wang has had to spend more energy and time practicing. His piano teacher would hold his hands, p2his fingers on the keys again and again, 10 make sure he remembered each note. His fingers often bled during these intense practice sessions. Despite his dedication, however, a teacher at the blind school he attended when he was 10 said he should pursue a career as a masseur (按摩师) .a job traditionally carried out by blind people. Wang told reporters that he h3this pessimistic attitude, which only helped drive his ambition.

Wang was turned down by several music schools. Finally, at 13, he caught the eye of a music teacher in Guangzhou The teacher told Wang that people with poor v4were often more sensitive to stringed instruments and advised him to take up the viola. Wang followed the advice. He recorded each class so he could listen to it r5, mastering each new piece of music!

Like other applicants, Wang passed difficult examinations b6receiving his offer from the British college. Thanks to his outstanding performance, he also obtained a scholarship. Wang hoped his experience can now inspire others to realize that people do not have to follow a set route in life--there can be other options.
