Take them to the other fellow on the main street ; hell fix them for you right away.”But Id had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). “No,” I replied, “the other fellow cant do it well.”“The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait” - without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) you might as well just throw away the pair.My man saw I wouldnt give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron ( 围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “Come back in a week.” I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.“See what I can do?” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.”When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hat, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft.These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old, way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.16 . Which of the following is true about the old cobbler?AHe was equipped with the best repairing tools.BHe was the only cobbler in the Marais.CHe was proud of his skills.DHe was a native Parisian.17 . The sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend.” ( paragraph 6 ) implies thatAnowadays you can hardly find anyone like himBit was difficult to communicate with this manCthe man was very strangeDthe man was too old18 . According to the author, many people work just to .Arealize their abilitiesBgain happinessCmake moneyDgain respect19 . This story wants to tell us that.Acraftsmen make a lot of moneyBwhatever you do, do it wellCcraftsmen need self-respectDpeople are born equalAn explosion( 爆炸) from a factory in Kunshan killed at least 69 people and more than 120 people got hurt.

Two, he talks about a rat (老鼠). I think young James is telling the truth (真相).”“So why did Mr. McCarthy shout Coo-ee then?”“Well, he was not shouting Coo-ee to his son. It was by chance that James heard. The Coo-ee was to call the person he was meeting. But Coo-ee is an Australian cry, Australians usually say it when they meet to catch attention. Perhaps Mr. McCarthy was meeting someone from Australia.”“I see. But why did he talk about a rat, then?” I asked.Holmes took a piece of paper from his pocket and put it on the table.“This is a map of Australia,” he said. He put his hand over part of the map. “Now, Watson, what can you read there?” he asked me.“ARAT,” I read.“And now?” Holmes moved his hand.“BALLARAT,” I read.“Yes. That was the word the dead man said. Its a place called Ballarat. His son only heard the rat part of the word. Old Mr. McCarthy was trying to say where his murderer was from, the town of Ballarat. The grey cloak is point No. 3. If James is telling the truth, there was a grey cloak (斗篷). So now we have an Australian from Ballarat with a grey cloak.”“Great!” I replied.“And its someone who lives nearby, as the Boscombe Pool isnt open to the public.
