Sherlock Holmes was popular from his first appearance in 1887, in the novelette “A Study in Scarlet.” He was so
popular that soon Conan Doyle began to 41 having created him, since Holmes stories so completely overshadowed
what Conan Doyle considered his serious work, such as his historical novel. Readers lined up at newsstands for The Strand
on publication day 42 a new Holmes story was to appear inside. Because of Holmes, Conan Doyle was, one historian
wrote, “as well-known as Queen Victoria.”
Holmes fans were truly the 43 middle-class, the exact sort of group whose tastes would be denigrated by snooty
critics as populist for more than a century to come. The 44 for Holmes stories seemed endless. The Strand would pay
Conan Doyle nicely for whatever he could give them. But he hadn’t meant to spend the rest of his life inventing and solving
fiction crimes. By 1893, Conan Doyle had had enough. So he had the evil professor Moriarty push Holmes down the falls.

There is a general agreement that the unconscious plays an extremely important role in problem-solving.
Everyone has had the experience of having the answer to a problem suddenly occur in his/her mind. One maddeningly
familiar phenomenon to many people is a late answer to an important problem. One may work for days or weeks on a
problem and complete it. Then, at some random point in time, a better answer appears. Since the original problem was
probably completed in order to reach a deadline, this better answer often only serves to annoy one that he/she did not
think of it sooner. It came straight from the unconscious as a result of the incubation process it was going through.
I have found in my own case that this incubation process works. I have the confidence to think hard about a problem
and then forget about it for a period of time. When I begin to work on it again, new answers are usually present.
【題組】49 Which of the following is a suitable title for this passage?
(A)The Real Work of the Unconscious (B)The Incubation Process
(C)A Late Answer (D)The Power of Memory
