But to my e7.,  it was  romantic and  delightful as my aunt’s house in Braeburn Heights was not.

It was in White Creek Row that I made my first real f8.  in Kansas. The people l9. in the row were  shy of me at first, as I was shy of the people in Braeburn Weights. My smart clothes, my bicycle, made me alien. And still, somehow or other, I m10. to develop a friendship with Posy Moreno

    Muriel’s home was a pleasant three-bedroomed house in a suburb(郊区) of Manchester. The family, made up of two girls and a boy, had been raised there. One had already left home, and the day was not far off when the other two would leave for London and the start of their careers.

The house now lacked for nothing. The expensive days schooling and providing for a growing family were over. The husband’s salary as an engineer provided holidays in Spain, a-year-old family car, a colour television (not rented now, thanks to a bargain offer in a January sale).

Life was good until Muriel, returning from shopping in the city centre, found she had been burgled. It was bad enough that the windows in the dining-room had been forced open and $20 in cash in the kitchen drawer stolen, but the damage aged Muriel immediately.

A booted foot had broken the television screen. House plants had been torn from their pots and threw against walls. There was a horror in the kitchen. Three fish were dead on the floor, their heads stamped and crushed(碎). The water from the fish tank had soaked(浸泡) the fitted carpet. Kitchen drawers had been pulled out and the contents were everywhere over the floor.

It was the same story in each room. Muriel found she could not sleep. The extra sherry(雪莉酒) at night did not work. The doctor later gave her tranquilizers(镇静剂). Finally her husband made the only decision he could. They had to sell and move from the home where they had planned to spend the rest of their lives.

The tragedy is that each year there are many thousands of Muriels.

A.谋杀 B.抢劫 C.失窃 D.纵火

4.Why couldn’t Muriel sleep?  ________.

A.Because she drank too much wine

C.Because she wanted to move house
