The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before a huge pile of troublesome stuff they call “books”.
I was going to have my examination the next day. "When can I go to bed?" I asked myself. I didn’t answer, in fact I dared not.
The clock struck 12. "Oh, dear!" I cried, "ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to study so hard when he was a boy ."
The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, Please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.”  My eyes were heavy, so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

On the way home from school, Jack always passes a park. His mother said it was dangerous to pass by the park at night, but it is the fastest way home. Today, after finishing soccer practice, Jack was walking toward the park as usual.

Suddenly, Jack heard someone calling him, “Excuse me!” Jack turned around, and there was an old woman. “Yes, ma’am.” Jack answered politely. “Don’t pass by the park tonight.” Her voice was weak and dry. “Okay, ma’am,” said Jack carelessly. The old woman held Jack’s hand strongly, and said, “I mean it!” Jack felt the hairs on his neck stand up. As soon as the lady let go of his hand, he started to run. This time, he ran so fast that he didn’t have time to think where he was going.

When he stopped, he realized he was in the middle of the park. He remembered what the old woman had said, but it was too late. He thought, “It would be okay if I run really fast.” Suddenly, he heard someone scream(尖叫). Jack was too frightened to wonder who it was. He breathed as deep as possible. The screaming continued.
