Things went well until mother-in-law’s death, when Annie had to give up her job and were at home all day. Her father-in-law became just a silent figure in the house and although Bob became used to him, Annie began to find the old man’s constant presence in the house a source of growing annoyance.

　　“He gets on my nerves, Bob,” she said one night when they were alone. “Just sitting there all day and me having to clean up around him. And he hardly says a word from getting up in a morning to going to bed. ”

　　“Well, I suppose he has a right to do as he like,” Bob said mildly. “It’s his house, not ours. We’re the lodgers. ” But to Annie, now looking after the house as if it were her own, it was beginning to seem the other way about.

　　1．The reason that Annie wanted to get married was ________.

　　A．she found she couldn’t leave Bob

　　B．she could at least escape the present life

　　C．she lived alone for a long time

　　D．she could live in a big house

　　2．Annie thought Bob was ________.

　　A．kind and easy-going

　　B．poor but good for working-class girls

　　C．in good health

　　D．good at making money

　　3．Annie found her father-in-law getting on her nerves because he ________.

　　A．sat when she was cleaning

　　B．never said what time he was getting up

　　C．rarely talked to her and Bob

　　D．caused her to give up her job

　　Bob and Annie had not known each other long before they became eager to get married: Bob because he wanted Annie and she（though she was fond of Bob in her own way）because she could at least lead a life away from her family. When Mrs. Thompson suggested that they marry and live with her in Dover Street until they could get a house of their own, Annie hesitated. Her idea of marriage had been something which brought her a husband and an orderly, well furnished home all at once. But she soon saw the advantages of this arrangement. She would, first of all, escape from her present life into a house which was quiet and efficiently run, not like her own; and she would be able to go on working so that she and Bob could save up all the money quickly for their own house. She would also get Bob, a good enough husband for any working-class girl; good-natured and ready to be bent to her way whenever it was necessary for her ends.

Jerry turned the key in the heavy lock and put it calmly in his pocket．He did so much more from caution than from any kind of fear．This was the only entrance to the house，and he did not want to be caught by any danger from outside．He wondered if David Jackson had been as careful the night before．Though David would be away for at least three days，Jerry had a strange feeling of his nearness．In the stillness he seemed to hear David’s voice．He looked around quickly，for the tricks of hearing were the most realistic of all．But there were only the women．It seemed impossible that David should not be there．

The girl，carrying a smoky oil lamp，led Jerry upstairs．He threw open one after another the doors along the passage．At this，the girl stopped and raised the lamp in each doorway，staring at him at the same time．Satisfied he was the only guest，Jerry came to the last door，which the girl threw open herself．

“You sleep here，sir，”she said，giving him the lamp．“Your friend sleep here，too．It is our most comfortable bed．”

“Good night，miss，”he said politely．

Her lips moved in reply，but he did not catch the words．Her eyes never for a moment left his face．He stepped in and as he turned to close the door，she was still standing there motionless．He paused，and in the silence，he thought he again heard the sound of David’s voice．The sound terrified him now，not only because it seemed much nearer，but also because he imagined a note of warning it．
