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 (冒险) 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 (灵感). 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 (隐形的). 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 (聪明才智). 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!

Tina was a seventeen-year-old girl who always wore a bright smile. She suffered from a disease and had to use a walker most of the time. People didn’t speak to her very often. Maybe it was because she looked       and people didn’t know how to come near to her. Tina usually broke the ice with people she met with a big “      .”

In one class, I gave the students an assignment (作业) to     a poem. I only made the assignment worth a very small part of their total grade since I knew most of my       would not do it anyway. In the class, one by one each student     to correctly recite (背诵) the poem. Finally, angry and half joking, I said that the next student who      recite the poem had to do three push-up (俯卧撑). To my     , Tina was next. She used her walker to move to the front of the class.     she recited, she made a mistake. Before I could say a word, she      her walker and started doing push-ups. I wanted to say, “Tina, I was just     !”But she     , continued the poem and she finished the rest perfectly.

When she finished, a student asked, “Tina, why did you do that? It’s not an important assignment!”

“Because I want to be like you guys! To be     .” Tina said.

 Silence fell on the whole room when another student cried out, “Tina, we’re not normal! We are teenagers! We get in     all the time.”

“I know,” Tina said as a big      spread across her face. The rest of the students laughed, too.

Tina got only a few      that day, but she got the love and respect of her classmates. To her, that was worth a lot more than a grade.
