There was once a man who couldn't sleep well because he was afraid that there was a stranger under his bed. He thought that as soon as he went to sleep, the stranger would come out from the bed and rob(搶劫) him. He was worried that the stranger might even kill him!

Every night, after he got into bed, the man had to get up again and looked under the bed. There was never anyone there, but as soon as he got back into bed, he had to get up and looked under the bed again. This went on for hours until at last he fell asleep from exhaustion.

The time came for the man to get married. He didn't tell his wife about his fears but she soon found out because he kept her awake all night.

"You must go to see a doctor," she told him. "He will make you become well. You won't have such silly fear again."

The man did as his wife told him. He told the doctor his problem, and the doctor said, "You can be well again, but it will take about two years. You must come and see me three times a week. The cost for each visit will be $ 75. "

The next day the man called the doctor and said, "l won't need to visit you again. I'm well now."

The doctor was amazed. "How?" he asked. "Who made you get well?"

"My wife did," the man said. "When I told her how much I would have to pay you, she cut the legs off the bed."

A. A god. B. A person.

C. His wife. D. A neighbour.

2.When did the man start having his sleeping problem?

A. After he got married.

C. Before he married his wife.

D. After he got a new bed.

3.What does the underlined word "exhaustion" mean in this story?

4.How much would the man pay the doctor every week?

A young woman was driving alone through the countryside. It was getting dark and raining. Suddenly she saw an old woman by the side of the road, holding out her hand as if she needed a lift. “I can’t leave her out in this weather,” the woman said to herself, so she stopped the car and opened the glass.

“Do you want a lift?” she asked. The old woman nodded and climbed into the car. After a while she said to the old woman, “Have you waited for long?” The old woman shook her head. “Strange,” thought the young woman. She tried again, “Bad weather for the time of year,” she said. The old woman nodded. Although the driver tried some, the lady said nothing except a nod of head or something else like that.

Then the young woman saw the lady’s hands, they were very large and with thick hair. Suddenly, she realized that the lady was a man! She stopped the car. “I can’t see that mirror,” she said, “Would you mind cleaning it for me?” The lady nodded and opened the door. As soon as the lady was out of the car, the young woman drove off quickly.
