Last week I was at my desk in the classroom as usual. I was very tired, and couldn’t concentrate (集中注意力) on the lesson. I looked around and noticed a door behind me. “I’m sure it wasn’t there before!” I said to myself. Very quickly I got up, opened the door, and saw a long hallway (过道). Soon I found myself in an underground room. There were a lot of strange machines, and people moved around in white coats. Suddenly, I heard a scream (尖叫) from another room, and I began to feel afraid. Just then a tall man with white hair came towards me.

“I am a professor (教授),” he told me. “How nice to see you! Did you come to help with our little experiment?” I didn’t like the professor, and I didn’t want to stay. I tried to run away, but my legs couldn’t move. He came closer. “Don’t worry,” he said, smiling. ‘We’re just doing a few tests...” i£No!” I shouted. “No test!” He put his hand on my arm and repeated, “A few tests, tests, tests...”

Just then I woke up. I was back in the classroom, and someone was shaking my arm. I listened to the teacher. “Tests this week and next week,” she said. ‘That’s better,” I thought.
