Dennis didn’t feel like sleeping. He had gone to bed at the same time every night for as long as he could remember. He was tired of going to bed when his parents told him to. So one night, when fall seemed over, but it wasn’t yet winter, he decided he would stay up!
What Dennis didn’t realize is that staying awake at night is hard when your body needs to sleep. He tried everything he could think of to stop himself from falling asleep. He tried counting wolves (if counting sheep makes you sleepy, then counting wolves must surely do the opposite), but unfortunately it made him even more tired. He started to suspect that it was the counting, and not the choice of animal, that made people sleepy.
Dennis was just about ready to give up when he heard a squeak (吱吱叫) from his hamster (仓鼠) Charlie. He went over to Charlie’s cage, but it was empty. Dennis followed the sounds of squeaking until he found Charlie on the floor, looking behind the door. Dennis noticed that something back there was throwing things at Charlie! Coins, balls of paper, and even some stones were flying in Charlie’s direction, as he squeaked.
“What’s there, Charlie ” Dennis asked as he picked up the hamster and walked towards the door. What he saw made him wonder if he had actually fallen asleep and not realized it.
“It’s a …it’s a rabbit!” he said. No bigger than Charlie (and no smaller), the rabbit wore a yellow shirt, a tiny pair of green pants, and a hat.
“Why are you throwing things at my hamster, rabbit ” asked Dennis.
“Why do you keep a vicious (凶险的) hamster as a pet, human ” asked the rabbit. “Charlie is not vicious! More importantly, why are you in my room, rabbit ” asked Dennis. “That is an interesting question, human.”
“My name is not ‘human’, it’s Dennis.” Dennis said angrily. “I already know your name. And rabbits have names too!”
Dennis didn’t say anything for a moment, and neither did the rabbit. It was an awkward (尴尬的) silence for everyone except Charlie who, as usual, had fallen asleep shortly after Dennis picked him up.
“Well, what is your name then ” asked Dennis.
( ) 6.Why did Dennis want to stay up one night
A. Because he was too excited to fall asleep.
B. Because he had something important to do.
C. Because he felt tired of following his parents’ order.
D. Because he thought staying up would make him more energetic.
( ) 7.Why does the writer use “ …” in the sentence “It’s a … it’s a rabbit!”
A. To express Dennis’s sadness at night.
B. To express Dennis’s surprise at the rabbit.
C. To show Dennis’s regret of being awake.
D. To show Dennis’s worry about his hamster.
( ) 8. Which is the right order of the following events
①Dennis heard the sounds of squeaking.
②The rabbit threw balls of paper at Charlie.
③Dennis tried to count wolves to stay awake.
④Charlie fell asleep shortly after Dennis picked him up.
A. ③④①② B. ④①③② C. ④③①② D. ③②①④
( ) 9.What can we know about the rabbit from the passage
A. It was squeaking angrily. B. It was much bigger than Charlie.
C. It was wearing clothes. D. It was playing with Charlie.
( ) 10. What is the best title for the story
A. Dennis’ Unusual Night B. Ways to Stay Up Late
