My grandfather is an eighty?year?old man.He has changed，and he often says that life used to be better.

Families aren't families the way they used to be.A lot of families have broken up.If husband and wife have problems with their marriage，they no longer stay together.And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children，but now everyone's working.No one has time to look after children at home.

And the cars！No one walks any more：everyone drives.We used to walk five miles to school every day，even in winter.But now we don't.And in school，the children don't have to think any more.In math class，for example，we used to add，subtract，multiply and divide in our heads.Kids don't use their heads any more，instead，they use calculators(計(jì)算器)．

Most families have computers now.In the past we didn't have computers.We didn't even have lights.My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen.But now nobody eats home?cooked food any more.

And people don't talk to each other any more.They are too busy to talk，too busy to eat，too busy to think…

Bobby was preparing to go to bed one night when he heard a shrill screech(尖叫) coming from the barn(牲口棚) outside. What could be making such a loud noise so late in the evening? He had trouble falling asleep and turned all night long dreaming about the noisy monster in the barn. When Bobby woke the next morning, he ran to the barn to discover what caused the loud noise last night. Bobby was baffled. He could not figure out what would make such a noise. That evening after dinner, Bobby gathered his courage, held a flashlight and headed out to the barn.

“Where are you going?” Bobby’s father asked as Bobby made his way through the kitchen to the back door.

“I am going to find the monster in the barn that was making such a noise last night,” Bobby replied bravely.

“If you are going to look for a monster, you might need some help,” Bobby’s dad responded as he walked with Bobby out to the barn.

“What did this monster sound like?” Bobby’s dad asked.

“It was a screeching noise,” Bobby said, “and it was coming from the barn. I know it!” Bobby’s dad began to smile as they went near the barn, and he took the flashlight from Bobby. Shining the flashlight up at the roof of the barn, Bobby and his dad saw a small brown owl in the roof.

“It was only a barn owl that you heard last night,” Bobby’s dad said. “They are active in the night so that is why you only heard him at night. He must have been hunting.”

Bobby was relieved that it wasn’t really a monster. He thanked his dad as they walked back to the house. As they reached the door they heard a loud screech and looked up just in time to see the barn owl flying away into the night sky.

1.The noise Bobby heard the first night was_______________.

A. the barn owl flying B. the barn owl screeching

C. a monster in the barn D. the barn owl building a nest

2.What do you think the underlined word “baffled” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. 勇敢 B. 疑惑 C. 自信 D. 害羞

3.This passage is mostly about _______________.

A. dreaming about the noisy monsters

B. a father and son going hunting in the barn

C. learning about different types of owls

D. discovering the source of a strange sound

4.What would probably be the best title for this passage?

A. The Monster in the Barn B. The Horse in the Barn

C. Father and Son D. Bobby’s Dad
