love—the philosopher Bertrand Russell called it
“one of the most
exciting novels I have

years after its
completion,as its English
publisher feared a negative reaction—one reviewer
criticized the
book’s “shocking and horrible
character”.A translation appeared the following

where the tsarist(沙皇)
authorities’ disapproval only enhanced its
popularity.

My mother believed
you could be anything you wanted to be in a was
where
all my mother’s hopes had come here in
1949 after losing everything in she
never
looked back with were so many ways for things to
get better.
“Of course you can be a
prodigy,too,” my mother told me when I was
nine.“You can be
best at anything.” We didn’t
immediately pick the right kind of first my
mother
thought I could be a Chinese Shirley ’d
watch Shirley’s old movies on TV as though
they were training mother would poke my arm
and say,“Ni kan”—You I
would see Shirley
tapping her feet,or singing a sailor song,or
pursing her lips into a very round O
while
saying,“Oh my goodness.”
Soon after my mother
got this idea about Shirley Temple,she took me to
a beauty training
school and put me in the
hands of a student who could barely hold the
scissors without
d of getting big fat curls,I
emerged with an uneven mass of crinkly black
mother dragged me off to the bathroom and
tried to wet down my hair.
“You look like
Negro Chinese,” she lamented,as if I had done this
on purpose.
In fact,in the beginning,I was
just as excited as my mother,maybe even more so.I
pictured
this prodigy part of me as many
different images,trying each one on for size.I was
a dainty
ballerina girl standing by the
curtains,waiting to hear the right music that
would send me floating
on my tiptoes.I was
Cinderella stepping from her pumpkin carriage with
sparkly cartoon music
filling the air.
In all of my imaginings,I was filled
with a sense that I would soon become mother
and father would adore me.I would be beyond
reproach.I would never feel the need to sulk for
anything.
But sometimes the prodigy in me
became impatient.“If you don’t hurry up and get me
out
of here,I’m disappearing for good,” it
warned.“And then you’ll always be nothing.”
Every night after dinner,my mother and I would
sit at the Formica kitchen would
present new
tests,taking her examples from stories of amazing
children she had read and a dozen
other
magazines she kept in a pile in our mother got
these magazines from people
whose houses she
would look through them all,searching for stories
about remarkable
children.
The first night
she brought out a story about a three-year-old boy
who knew the capitals of all
the states and
even most of the European countries.A teacher was
quoted as saying the little boy
could also
pronounce the names of the foreign cities
correctly.
“What’s the capital of Finland?” my
mother asked me,looking at the magazine story.
All I knew was the capital of
California,because Sacramento was the name of the
street we
lived on in Chinatown.“Nairobi!” I
guessed,saying the most foreign word I could think
checked to see if that was possibly one way to
pronounce “Helsinki” before showing me the
answer.
The tests got harder—multiplying
numbers in my head,finding the queen of hearts in
a deck
of cards,trying to stand on my head
without using my hands,predicting the daily
temperatures in
Los Angeles,New York,and
London.
And after seeing my mother’s
disappointed face once again,something inside of
me began to
die.I hated the tests,the raised
hopes and failed going to bed that night,I
looked in the mirror and when I saw only my
face staring back—and that it would always be this
ordinary face—I began to a sad,ugly girl!I
made high pitched noises like a crazed
animal,trying to scratch out the face in the
mirror.
And then I saw what seemed to be the
prodigy side of me—because I had never seen that
face
before.I looked at my reflection,blinking
so I could see more girl staring back at me
was angry, girl and I were the same.I had new
thoughts,willful thoughts,or rather
thoughts
filled with lots of won’ts.I won’t let her change
me,I promised myself.I won’t be
what
I’m not.

(2017·姜堰、如东、沭阳、前黄四校联考)
Written in the
first chapter of the book Pride and Prejudice is
an extraordinary sentence of
which even a
person who has had only a brief look upon the book
will not fail to receive a deep
impression—It is a truth universally
acknowledged that a single man in possession of a
good
fortune must be in want of a terms of
Sherlock Holmes,we’d better alter the sentence
into
“It is a fact universally accepted by
readers throughout the world that an excellent
book in
possession of our famous detective
Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a masterpiece of
all
times”.Perhaps this is one of the most
obvious explanations for the incomparable
popularity of
“Holmes series” in the field of
detective elmed by the recommendations provided
by my friends,I decided to take a look on this
Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son originally
published by Oxford University Press.
As a
whole,this book is about a case concerning the
Duke’s missing ,the
Duke’s son,was found out
in a certain morning to have
disappeared,accompanied with which
was also
the disappearance of the German school master Dr
Huxtable then turned to the
famous detective
of the time Sherlock Holmes for ing how tough and
important the case
is,Holmes immediately made
up his mind to accept the case and followed Dr
Huxtable back to
Mackleton by formed a rough
idea about the whole matter,Holmes looked into the
case immediately and had a careful
investigation of the entire area shortly after the
arrival,during
the process of which he
discovered the body of the German teacher
y,primarily
due to his outstanding ability as
a detective,he managed to reveal the mystery.
Having once started reading this fiction,I was
completely absorbed in the mysterious
the
beginning,unlike other detective stories,this
story first describes the client’s strange
behavior
at length to indicate the severity of
the incident in order to attract the readers to
continue reading
is known to all,vivid
description is essential to detective stories as
it makes the story more
authentic and
ore,trying to present a “real world” to his
readership,Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle,author of
the original “Holmes series”,has skillfully
arranged the plots of the
whole story from the
perspective of Dr Watson,a friend of Holmes’.In
this way,he
elaborately(精心地) described every
scene and character in the from the special
start,
the ending of the whole story,being
dramatic but reasonable,is certainly an
outstanding
all,except the author himself,who
knows that the Duke’s seemingly ordinary secretary
is in fact
the Duke’s bastard(私生子)?In
addition,who knows that the Duke actually has
already been
acquainted with the whole thing
before Holmes solves this complicated
problem?Yet,surprising
as it is,this ending
seems so natural that it fits all the plots of the
story perfectly g my
eyes,I can even
“see” the story happening just like watching a
film.
As far as I am concerned,nothing is more
admirable and surprising in the hero Sherlock
Holmes than his profound knowledge which has
certainly assisted him a lot when he was studying
the the bicycle tyres for instance,Holmes is
capable of recognizing 42 different varieties
of bicycle for his illimitable
knowledge,Holmes also specializes in arranging the
facts
in order and then finding the fact
leading him to a great discovery or even the truth
this
case,after getting rid of unrelated
facts,Sherlock Holmes eventually grasped the clue
and
discovered the amazing fact.
Needless
to say,as a world-renowned masterpiece,Sherlock
Holmes and the Duke’s Son has
attracted and is
still charming numerous readers from all corners
of the world and people from all
walks of
“Holmes series” has already set up a standard
against which all the following
detective
fictions are ck Holmes,beyond all doubt,has been a
name firmly rooted
in people’s gh Dr Watson’s
closing The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes in
1927 was a great pity to the readers,the
discontinuance of the entire “Holmes series” may
have
actually added to the legendary stature
of Sherlock Holmes.
