Question

【题目】Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题):

Calvin waited and then walked into Trudy’s bedroom. Then it happened — a scream（尖叫）, a very loud scream. Calvin ran to his room and dived into bed.

He heard Mama coming down the hall.

‘Did you do this?’ his mother asked. Calvin looked out from under the covers. His mother stood over him, holding a rubber spider.

‘Do what?’ he asked.

‘You put that thing in my bed,’ Trudy told him, stepping out from behind Mama.

‘Don’t think that just because it’s your birthday you can do something like this,’ Mama scolded (责骂).

‘You do want your present, don’t you?’ That wiped the smile off Calvin’s face.

‘Of course I do,’ he said.

‘Then you apologize.’

Calvin dropped his head. ‘Sorry, Trudy,’ he muttered (嘟囔).

‘Here,’ Mama said, ‘Happy birthday.’ At the breakfast table she handed Calvin an envelope. Inside were tickets to the show of Lomax the Magnificent, the world-famous magician and hypnotist（施行催眠术的人）. ‘You’ve got two tickets there,’ Mama said, ‘and I know someone who’d really love to go along.’ She smiled at Trudy.

‘You don’t mean here, do you?’ Calvin asked, eyeing his little sister.

‘Well, that would be really nice. But those tickets are yours. If you want to ask somebody …’ Calvin didn’t wait for his mother to finish. ___________________________ Rodney, his friend next door. The two of them were going to see the show Lomax the Magnificent.
