| In 1885, a young doctor named Arthur Conan Doyle opened offices in London. He wanted to be a successful doctor, but for some reasons he never found enough patients. To pass the time, he began to write stories and send them to the newspapers. Conan Doyle's stories were about a clever detective, Sherlock Holmes.Conan Doyle wrote that Sherlock Holmes lived in Baker Street in London, and people with problems came to Sherlock Holmes with their problems, too.He was able to solve mysteries (疑难案件) that the cleverest policemen in England were unable to figure out (解决)． Sometimes Sherlock Holmes could solve a mystery without leaving his chair.He listened carefully to the information his client (委托人) gave and figured out the answer.At other times he spent days or weeks looking for clues (线索)．Sherlock Holmes travelled to different cities and countries to solve the mysteries.Sometimes he wore_disguises,_pretending to be an old man, or a sailor.Holmes did anything to find out the answer to the mysteries he was working on. Sherlock Holmes is the most famous detective in English literature (文学),but many people don't understand that he is a fictional (小说的) character, not a real person.The English post offices report that people still send mail to Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street.Even he gets more than 2,000 letters every year. |

| A new study suggests that the roundtheclock(24小时的)availability that cell phones have brought to people's lives may be taking_a_toll_on family life.The study,which followed more than 1,300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative "spillover" between work and home life-and,in turn,less satisfaction with their family life. Spillover essentially(本质上)means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear.Work life may invade home life when a parent is taking jobrelated calls at home,for instance-or family issues may start to take up work time.For example,a child may call mum at work,telling her "microwave exploded",explained Noelle Chesley,an assistant professor of sociology at the University of WisconsinMilwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for even more spillover between work and home. This may be especially true for working women,the study found. Among men,consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潜入)into family time.But for women,the spillover tended to go in both directions. Being "connected" meant that work cut into home time,and family issues came into work life. Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members. But there may be ways to control the spillover,according to Chesley.Employers, she said,could look at their policies on contacting employees after hours to make sure their expectations are "reasonable"．For their part,employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said. |
| 1．What does the underlined phrase "taking a toll on" probably mean in Paragraph 1 |
| A．Explaining. B．Founding. C. Damaging. D．Extending |
| 2．According to Chesley,what is the best solution to the problem caused by cell phones? |
| A．Refuse to use cell phones. B. Separate work hours from family time. C. Ignore coming calls during family time. D. Encourage women to stay at home. |
| 3．We can learn from the passage that ________. |
| A．cell phones make the line between work and home unclear B．cell phones seem to be convenient to families C．cell phones affect men as much as women D．we can do nothing to solve the problem |
| 4．What is the main idea of the passage? |
| A．How to control the negative spillover caused by cell phones. B. Cell phones cause negative "spillover" between work life and home life. C. Consistent use of cell phones makes people feel less satisfied with their work. D. How work life invades home life. |
