“My dear lady,” says Holmes．“You're shivering．Are you old? Do you want a cup of hot tea?”

　　“I'm not cold,” the woman replies, “I fear for my life!”

　　“We are here to help you．Don't worry about anything．I don't know you．But I know many things about you．For example, I know how you travel．You came to London by train．You also ride to the train station on a horse-drawn wagon(馬車)．”

　　“Why, yes．You're right．But how do you know these things?”

　　“ I see a return ticket in your glove．I see fresh mud on the left arm of your dress．Now tell us your problem．”

　　“My name is Helen Stoner,” she states, “ My mother and father are dead．I am living with my stepfather, Dr Grimesby Roylott．He comes from a rich family．But they are no longer rich．They have nothing except a small piece of land and a huge old house．We are living in the house．Dr Roylott is using my mother's money for expenses(開支)．Part of it was for my sister and me．It was for our marriages．”

　　Holmes is sitting in his chair．His eyes are closed．He is listening carefully to Helen's story．He hears every detail．

　　Helen continues．“My stepfather has no friends．He fights with everyone．He is strong and gets angry quickly．Everyone is afraid of him．”

　　“He has no friends at all?” asks Holmes．

　　“No．He talks to no one except the gypsies．They are poor people who travel from place to place．A band of gypsies is staying on our land right now．”

　　“Are you and your sister afraid of the gypsies?”

　　“My dear Mr Holmes．You are making me so sad．My sister is dead．That is why I am standing here in this room．”

One day I was watching a movie at home . Tears 　31 from my eyes as I saw a touching scene. My three-year-old son came to me and asked me 　32 I was crying for. I kept silent as I couldn’t explain 　33 him it was just an emotional thing. To my 34 , he touched my face with his little hand and said, “Dear Mom, stop crying! You see, everything will be fine. You are my good 　35　 .So just get up and let’s get ready for school.” On hearing him say this to me, I couldn’t help laughing. It was so 　36 for a child to say so. Later I realized that he had repeated(重復(fù)) almost all 37 I had told him while he was crying one morning.

　　 The first time a child begins to speak, he tries to 　38 what his parents have been telling

him for a long time. Usually parents start with the words “Mama” , “Papa” and so on. But as the child 　39 learning and possibly starts speaking on his own without being taught, we as parents always forget he’s still being tutored (教導(dǎo))by us. The only difference is that we’re now doing it in a more active way than before. We 　40 use words which we don’t want our child to say, and when he says those words , we 　41 where he has learned them. Even then, some of us don’t realize the child has learned the words from us only. Instead we start to put the blame(指責(zé))on his friends , or 　42 who has talked to him when we’re not present.

　　 So if you want your child to have perfect behavior, you’ll have to 43 a good example to him. And if you can’t do that, you have no 　44 to expect your child to have such a thing. After all, the parents’ words and behavior have a great 　45 over their child.
