2.1. Read the following story and answer the questions. The Main Street Library closed for the day on the evening of December 8th. On that
night the security guard did not check between every shelf carefully. When he left, he
switched off the lights and eagerly bolted the door behind him. He did not know that
Andy Fiddel was sitting in the science section of the library.
When the library became dark, Andy slowly closed his science book. He headed
downstairs, but the security guard was completely gone by the time Andy reached the
lobby
Being only a young boy of eight years old, he didn't quite know what to do. For
a few minutes he pounded furiously on the locked door and yelled loudly. But the cars
outside passed by quickly, and they couldn't hear him. After a moment he became very
bored with this useless activity. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. He thought
he could happily spend hours here!
He easily found the light switch, then returned to his book. He finished it rapidly
and moved to the next book. He read about leeches, lizards, and other fantastically
creepy creatures. He carefully read Shakespeare's beautifully written sonnets. He read
excitedly, then greedily, then hungrily. He read faster and faster and blinked less and
less frequently. His red eyes ached and his empty stomach complained loudly.
He was totally involved in a book about American history when he suddenly
heard a voice ring through the library. A friend of the library manager had noticed the
lights in the library. She phoned the manager promptly. The manager now called to
Andy. Andy began explaining that he was there accidentally. His parents arrived,
running eagerly through the door. He soon explained everything, and they finally went
home
