The first week was fine. Nothing was clearly strange with John at first until the second week, when our communication began to get a little strange. John began making conversations like "you would have had to pay an employment agency（職業(yè)介紹所）several hundred dollars for a job like this". I soon forgot his words till the next day when he made another similar conversation. Right then I started to really pay attention to what he meant. He acted as if I owed him money for helping me to get the job.

He began to get short with me and I had only been there for two weeks. He should train me in building our e-mail servers（服務(wù)器）. Instead, he went through the process so fast that even an experienced worker could hardly keep up. He would not slow down or check whether I was with him or not. If there was something wrong with a server, he would just deal it by himself and not stop to say anything like "you might want to remember this. " I was in a bad mood from then on.

By the third week I began to get tired of his condescension (傲慢). So I began to challenge him in a way that was only one to one. He would reply to a question of mine with a question or just make me repeat it, and then cut in on me. I began to hate him. Later I tried to avoid him as much as I could.

He stopped me one day and asked me what had happened. I told him he was very condescending. He asked me, “What can I do so that you will not feel like this way in the future?” I simply asked him to treat me with the same respect he would like to be treated with. He did it and we got along better slowly. I believed there was hope and finally we would become friends and now we are.

________________________________________________________.

We run quickly over the moor. We hear one last cry. A man is lying on the ground. As we came closer we see the dead body of Sir Henry Baskerville. He is wearing his brown suit.

"Oh, no! " says Holmes, This man has a beard（胡須）! "

Indeed Selden is dead instead of Sir Henry.

So it is all clear to me. I remember that Sir Henry gave his old suit to Barrymore, and Barrymore probably gave it to Selden- his wife’s brother.

"Then Selden is dead because of this suit, ” says Holmes.

"Think. Watson! Someone gives the hound some of Sir Henry’s clothes -probably the boot from the hotel in London. The hound picks up Sir Henry’s scent and runs after this poor man. "

Suddenly we see Stapleton walking towards us. He says, "There was a strange noise. I was worried about Sir Henry. I wanted to check if he was all right. "

"Really? " asks Holmes

Stapleton looks at Holmes. "Why, it is Mr Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective! Can you solve the mystery of the Hound of the Baskervilles? "

Holmes shrugs his shoulders. "We cannot solve every mystery. Anyway I return to London tomorrow. "

"Oh, do you return to London tomorrow? "

"Yes. "

So Holmes and I walk off to Baskerville Hall and Stapleton to his home.

Holmes thinks Stapleton is dangerous. But we have no proof（證據(jù)）that Stapleton is the murderer.

"There are no marks on Sir Charles's body. We know that he is died of fright （恐嚇）, but we can't prove anything. "

"Things are becoming clear to me, " Holmes says to Sir Henry. "It’s a very difficult case. And you must help me to catch this hound. "

We are surprised to see one painting of a thin man is Sir Hugo, the first victim of the Hound of the Baskervilles. And he's like both Sir Henry and Stapleton. " Stapleton is a Baskerville, "replies Holmes. " So he wants to inherit (繼承) the Baskerville fortune , and he. . . , " I say. It’s an important clues.

B.Stapleton wants to murder Sir Henry indeed.

C.Watson finds out that Selden is Mrs Stapleton’s brother.

D.Stapleton kills Selden by frightening him with the hound.

【3】Which of the following is True according to the passage?

"Most local stories are based on a larger theme, " American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, "Cinderella (灰姑娘), or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in different forms in almost every culture of the world. "

Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoner too, helping them knowing who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If they don't like the story they are living, they can rewrite the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. "To do business well, " she says, "there is a greater need for communication. " Storytelling can have a great influence on either side of the manager-worker relationship, she says.

Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was connected to the everyday life of the people there. The advantages of storytelling are found everywhere, she says.

"I learned how people used stories to spread their culture, " she says, "We are all storytellers. We all have a story to tell. We tell everybody's story. "
