When Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a story about a detective named Sherlock Holmes, he didn't know he was creating one of the most popular characters in books.
Arthur Conan Doyle was born on May 22,1859, in Edinburgh, Scotland. He studied medicine and became a doctor in a small English town called Portsmouth. He started writing stories. His first published story was A Study in Scarlet in 1887. It was a detective story, and its main character was the detective Sherlock Holmes.
The first Holmes stories sold quite well. But Holmes became a huge success in 1891 when many short stories about him came out in a popular magazine called The Strand. Conan Doyle got hundreds of letters for Holmes because many readers thought he was a real person. Even today, fans from all over the world send letters to"221B Baker Street"——Holmes'fictional address.
Conan Doyle wanted to be known as a serious writer. He also wrote history books and plays. He felt that Holmes was taking too much of his time. So in 1893, in a story called The Final Problem, he “killed” Holmes. In the story, Holmes and his greatest enemy, Professor Moriarty, fell down into a deep river.
Readers were very upset. About 20,000 people stopped buying The Strand magazine. Conan Doyle received many angry letters. Because of this, he later brought Holmes back. First, he wrote The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1901, but that story happened before Holmes'“death”. Finally, in 1903, in The Empty House, he explained that Holmes did not really die but had been hiding from his enemies.
Why is Holmes so popular?

Fair play: Conan Doyle believed in giving readers all the clues to solve the mystery.
Science: Holmes was one of the first detective s in stories to use scientific methods like studying fingerprints.
Great mind: People love how he can notice small details and find the truth.
Friendship: His strong and loyal friendship with his friend and helper, Dr. Watson, is very touching. Watson tells their stories. He is not as clever as Holmes, but he is a very good friend.
28. What did Conan Doyle think of different book types?
A. He considered being a doctor was more important than writing.
B. He believed detective stories were the most difficult to write.
C. He thought history books more“serious” than detective stories.
D. He enjoyed writing plays more than reading letters from fans.
29. Why did Conan Doyle bring Sherlock Holmes back in 1903?
A. He needed more money from writing.
B. He found a new enemy for Holmes to fight.
C. He missed writing exciting detective stories.
D. Readers' angry actions made him change his mind.

It was forbidden(禁止的)to go to Don Achille's house, but Lila decided to do it anyway. I followed her though my legs were shaking.
We wanted him to give back our dolls. As we climbed the stairs, I wanted to turn back many times. Lila held my hand tightly(紧紧地). I was glad—maybe she did it because she knew I didn't have the courage to keep going, or maybe she needed courage herself. Step by step, we went up together silently.
We stopped on the top floor. Standing in front of Mr. Achille's door, my heart was beating so fast that I thought it might be hers. We heard voices inside. Lila said nothing for a long time, then suddenly she rang the doorbell.
After a moment, a woman opened the door. She wore an old green dress and had a shining gold tooth. She looked surprised and asked what we wanted. Lila answered calmly,"We want to see Don Achille.”
Heavy footsteps came from the dark hallway. A short, strong man turned up. His face was long,his hair thin, his eyes red and bright. He looked ugly—but not as terrible as I had imagined.
“What do you want?” he said.
“Our dolls,” Lila replied.“You took them.”
Don Achille frowned(皱眉头),“Me? Take your dolls?”
“Yes,” Lila said.“You put them in your black bag.”
He was silent for a while, then sighed.“Go buy new ones,” he said, taking out his wallet and giving her some money.
Lila took the money, pulled me by hand and we ran downstairs.
From above, Achille's voice came again,“Remember the dolls are my gift for you!!!”
I shouted back in Italian,“Enjoy your dinner. Good night”
That night, I realized that nothing could stop Lila. When she broke the rules, something surprising always happened and I couldn't help wanting to follow her.
—Adapted from My Brilliant girlfriend by Elena Ferrante

What are the promises of smart cities?
With the development of technology, our city life is becoming more and more“smart”. What is life like in a smart city? What kind of smart city do you dream of living in? In the following pages, Teens will introduce the idea of the smart city with detailed information and examples. These pages cover topics like smart campuses,smart homes, smart offices, smart transportation, smart entertainment(娱乐)and more.
In the more than 6,000 years of living in cities, humans have always had to solve problems about how they live and work. These problems include water, health, transportation, crime and nature protection. Today, using cutting-edge(尖端的)technologies, smart cities cover them all. We are now in a time of being"smart".
According to the European Commission, a smart city uses digital (数码的) methods to provide more efficient (高效的) networks and services for people and businesses. It means smarter urban transportation, better water and waste systems, and better ways to light and heat buildings.

Automation (自动化) and the internet of things (IoT) are must-haves for smart cities According to TWI, a global technology organization, a smart city works in four steps: collection analysis, communication, and-action. In this process, a set of smart sensors (传感器) will collect real-time data in the city. After analysis, the results will be communicated to the decision-makers. They will then take action to improve city life for the people.
Smart city technologies have already been used in many places. Singapore, for example, introduced a digital health system. Patients can talk to their doctors through video calls. The city also produced usefulIoT tools to monitor (监测) patients in real time.

On April 26, 2024, the Shenzhou XVIII manned spaceship's three astronauts, Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu successfully entered the space station and met with the Shenzhou XVII astronauts.
The crew (乘组) will carry out more than 90 experiments (实验) in space so that they can study microgravity in space, medicine and many other science topics.
This mission is special because it is China's first space-based study of water ecosystems (生态系统). The astronauts brought a fish tank filled with water to the space station. Four zebra fish and algae (水藻) live in it. The algae can give the fish oxygen, keeping them alive. The tank can also feed the fish, control the temperature and lighting, and collect fish eggs by itself.
Why zebra fish? Because they share 87 percent of their genes (基因) with humans. Next scientists plan to take mice to space. They' ll raise them there and then bring them back to Earth for further study. Studying animals in space can help scientists understand how the human body reacts to space conditions.
The Shenzhou XVIII crew will return after six months in space. After that, they will help achieve China's first manned landing on the Moon.
58. When did the Shenzhou XVIII enter the space station?
59. How will the astronauts study microgravity in space?
60. What can algae do in the tank?
61. Why will the astronauts bring mice into space and raise them there?
