The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and slightly wet, and h e could see nobody walking on the street.
Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the pavement. When he reached the middle of the bridge, he thought he could hear someone coming near b 81 him. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly. Then he slowed down again, feeling ashamed at having acted so foolishly. There was n 82 to fear in a town as quiet as this.
Just then, he heard short, quick steps. By the time he reached the other side of the bridge, he could almost feel someone at his heels. He turned round and there stood a man dressed in a large overcoat. A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very l 83 of his face could be seen. Frank said something about the weather, trying to sound friendly and c 84 . The man did not answer but asked rudely where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.
Then Frank w 85 why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour. He knew that the people who lived there were very rich. Almost without realizing what he was, he began following the stranger q 86 . The man didn’t notice him at all. Soon the man was outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the windows. A l 87 was still on and the man waited until it went out. When about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop onto the ground at the other side.
Now Frank realized what was going to happen. He walked quickly and silently across the street towards a telephone box on the corner.
D)Answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答下列问题):(12分)
Mr. Dawson was bad-tempered and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick an apple, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun.
One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was walking out with her friend Amy. They had to go by Dawson’s house, but as they got close, Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over the street. Like most, she was afraid of the man.
Amy said not to worry. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown(皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, he gave a broad smile.
Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight with her they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and gave them each an apple.
Later, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he isn’t generous. Actually he’s the meanest man in town. How come he was so nice to us?”
Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house, he wasn’t very friendly, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back.
After a while, he started smiling real smiles and then talked to her. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.
“An invisible smile?” questioned Janet.
“Yes,” answered Amy, “My grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn’t afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, sooner or later he would really smile.”
If we remember that everyone wears an invisible smile, we too will find that most people can’t resist our smile after a while.
It’s so easy to get caught up in every day life that we forget how simply we can bring cheer to ourselves and others. Giving a smile takes so little effort; let’s make sure that we’re not the ones that others have to pretend are wearing invisible smiles.
