Story A A famous art collector was walking through the city when he noticed a dirty cat lapping milk from a saucer in the doorway of a store.He did a double take. He noticed that the saucer was an antique and very valuable，so he walked casually into the store and innocently offered to buy the cat for 20 dollars. The store owner replied，“I’m sorry，but the cat isn’t for sale.” The collector said，“Please，I need a hungry cat with a good appetite around the house to catch mice.I’ll pay you 200 dollars for that cat.” The owner said “sold” and handed over the cat. The collector continued，“Hey，for the 200 dollars I wonder if you could throw in that old saucer. The cat’s used to it and it’ll save me from having to get a dish.” And the owner said，“Sorry my friend，but that’s my lucky saucer.So far this week I’ve sold 68 cats.” Story B Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson went on a camping trip.After a good dinner and a bottle of wine，they retired for the night，and went to sleep. Some hours later，Holmes woke up and asked his faithful friend，“Watson，look up at the sky and tell me what you see.” “I see millions and millions of stars，Holmes，” replied Watson. “And what do you deduce from that？” Watson thought for a minute.“Well，according to the studies on astronomy，it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.According to the positions of the stars，I observe that Saturn is in Leo.According to the scientific measurement of time，I deduce that the time is probably a quarter past three.According to the current atmosphere，I forecast that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.What does it tell you，Holmes？” Holmes was silent for a moment.“Watson，” he said，“someone has stolen our tent！” Story C A middle-aged man was feeling very down.Everything had been going wrong for him.He had had problems at work and his wife had left him for another man.So，after he had been feeling depressed for over a month，he decided to go to the doctor.He had to wait for what seemed like ages in the doctor’s surgery.The bleeding man next to him was looking at his watch nervously；a woman was coughing and sneezing badly；and a baby was screaming.Finally，after he had been waiting for about half an hour，he was called in for his consultation. The doctor was writing a note at her desk when he came in.“Sorry，I’m just finishing something.I’m afraid we’ve been very busy this morning.” She then turned to the man.“So，what’s the problem？” she asked. “Well，I’ve been having a bit of a crisis，you know，lots of problems，” replied the man.“And I’ve been doing a lot of work.” “Mmm，you’re looking very pale.” The doctor started to examine him.“Well，everything is working OK，” she announced afterwards.“You have slightly high blood pressure and you’re breathing quite heavily，but otherwise everything’s fine.” “So what can I do？” asked the man.“I’m going on a trip soon.I will be working in the United States for three months.This time next week，I’ll be arriving in New York.” The doctor thought for a while.“I think what you need is a good laugh.That would do you a lot of good.A circus is performing in town.Why don’t you go to see it? I hear there’s an amazing clown who’ll really make you laugh.His name’s Grock.” “I am Grock，”replied the man sadly. 1.Which column is the article probably taken from? A.Entertainment. B.Health care.

When Rowan was young，he had a stutter and to make his speech clearer，he began to speak very carefully.This may be why some of his characters have unusual ways of speaking. As early as primary school，Rowan had already shown a talent for acting，but it was only later at university that he decided to become an actor.A key event occurred one day in 1976 when he was playing around and pulling a face in the mirror.“I discovered my face，” he said later.
