Question

Mr. Lee was in bed and was trying to go to sleep when he heard the bell ring. He turned on the light and looked at his clock. It was twelve o'clock. "Who can it be at this time of night?" He thought. He decided to go and find out. So he got of bed, put on his dressing gown and went to the door. When he opened the door, there was nobody there. "That is very strange." Then he went back to his bedroom, took off his dressing gown, got back into bed, turned off the light and tried to go to sleep.

A few minutes later he heard the bell again. Mr. Lee jumped out of bed very quickly and rushed to the door. He opened it, but again he found no one there.

试题分析：短文大意：李先生躺在床上，想睡觉的时候，他听到门铃响了。他打开灯，看了看钟。现在是十二点。他想知道是谁在午夜时来敲门，便决定去寻找。所以他从床上起来，穿上外套走到门口。当他打开门时，并没有发现任何人。然后，他回到自己的卧室，脱掉睡衣，回到床上，关了灯想睡觉。几分钟后，他又听到铃声了。李先生很快就跳出床，冲到门口。他打开它，但是他发现没有人。他关上门，尽量不生气。然后他看到地板上有一张纸。他把它捡了起来。上面有一些话：“现在是后半夜，所以它是四月愚人节。四月傻瓜给你！”
