“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 (马车).”
“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. Grimes by 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 (开支). Part of it was for my sister and me. It was for our marriages.”
“However, my sister died right before her wedding day. It was a windy and rainy day. the wind was howling outside, and the rain was beating and splashing against the windows. Suddenly, I heard scream of a woman. By the light of the corridor-lamp I saw my sister appear at the opening. I ran to her and threw my arms round her, but at that moment her knees seemed to give way and she fell to the ground. I rush to her, and she suddenly shrieked out (痛苦地喊出) in a voice which I shall never forget, ‘Oh, my God! Helen! It was the band! The speckled band!’. There was something else that she wanted to say. She pointed into the air in the direction of stepfather’s room.”
Holmes is sitting in his chair. His eyes are closed. He is listening carefully to Helen’s story. He hears every detail.

“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.”

25、 In public places, people often use body language to express their meanings. Waving and bowing are examples of body language. Different kinds of body languages show different cultures in different countries. In China waving means greeting, but in Japan bowing is used. Sometimes this kind of body language is polite in one country, but it is not polite in another. We should pay attention to using it. In China, nodding your head shows you agree with someone, but in India, shaking your head from side to side shows agreement. In China, people hold hands as a sign of friendship, but people seldom hold hands in North America. It is worth(值得) noting that different meanings of body language can also cause problems in understanding. Some people do not understand how to use thumb(拇指) correctly.

26、①Qinqiang Opera is one of the carliest forms of opera in China. It started from the ancient folk songs and dances of the Han people in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces.

A recent survey shows that in modern society, most people pick up practical(实际的) goals, such as “earning money to buy a house and a car” “improving one’s life quality” and “finding a good job ”.
Wang You worked in a small firm(商行〕in Nanjing. The job was good and he didn’t have to work for extra hours. However, he felt the work was not exciting at all and that the life was boring. So he gave up his job and went to Beijing in February. When he arrived in Beijing, he set his new goal as finding a good job.
