I live on the twelfth floor of a building. One afternoon I was coming home from a friend's house. It was just after four o'clock. I got quickly into the lift and pressed Button (按钮) 12.
The lift started to go up, but very slowly. And then, halfway up, it suddenly stopped between two floors. I couldn't understand it. I pressed all the buttons from 1 to 14. I called for help very loudly. But nobody answered.
Then suddenly the lights went out, and I was alone in the dark. I started to cry and beat the walls of the lift. I cried and cried until I had no voice left. Then, I felt hopeless, and pressed all the buttons with my open hands. And all at the same time, there was a bell far away. It rang and rang. It was the fire alarm (火灾警报). I thought the whole building was on fire. I said to God quietly, "Just get me out of here. I'll never be bad again."
Just then, I realized the lift was moving very slowly. On the ground floor it stopped, and the doors opened. A man was standing there. "How long have you been in the lift? It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But haven't you learned to read at your school?" He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift. It said:
"Attention: This lift will be stopped for repairs between 4pm and 5 pm on Thursday March 13." What happened to the lift?
| A．It had a fire accident. |
| B．It stopped halfway. |
| C．It was turned off by the writer. |
| D．It moved fast up to the top floor |
As the situation went on, the writer became _________.
| A．more and more scared | B．calmer and calmer |
| C．more and more bored | D．clearer and clearer |
Why did a bell ring from far away?
| A．The lift was to start again. |
| B．The repair worker rang the fire alarm. |
| C．The building was on fire. |
| D．The writer pressed the fire alarm bell. |
Who most probably made the lift move again and go down to the ground floor?
| A．The writer. | B．The writer's friend. |
| C．The man. | D．The writer's father. |
After reading the paper, the writer realized that he/she had _________.
