There was nothing for Mary to do in the house, so every day she walked in the gardens. She did this before breakfast, and the fresh air made her hungry. She was so hungry that she even ate the porridge and enjoyed it. After breakfast, Mary walked in the gardens and on the moor. She spent most of her time outdoors and began to feel healthier and happier than she had felt for a very long time.

One day, she walked around the wall without a door. Suddenly, she heard a bird singing. She looked up, and the robin was sitting on a branch that hung over the wall. She was pleased to see the bird and talked to it. “You live in that garden, don’t you?” she said. “But no one can go in because there isn’t a door. I want to know what’s behind this wall.”

The next morning, when Martha brought her breakfast, she asked, “Martha, why isn’t there a door in the wall of one of the gardens?”

“I don’t know for certain,” Martha answered, “but the story is that when Mr. Craven married, he and his young wife were very happy. They used to spend a lot of their time together in that garden reading and talking. Then one day, a branch of a tree fell down and hit Mr. Craven’s wife on the head. The next day she died.”

“Oh, that is such a sad story,” Mary said.

As she was thinking these things, she heard a cry. “What was that?” she asked Martha.

Quickly, Martha answered, “Just the wind.”

“No, it wasn’t,” Mary said. “It did not sound like the wind. And I heard a door shut somewhere.”

“If it wasn’t the wind,” Martha answered, “then it was Betty in the kitchen. She has a toothache.” Mary looked at Martha and thought, “She isn’t telling me the truth. She knows something she doesn’t want me to know.

1.When did Mary usually walk in the gardens?

A.Before breakfast. B.After the afternoon. C.In the afternoon. D.In the evening.

2.Where did Mary think the robin lived?

A.In Mary’s favourite tree. B.Near her bedroom window.

C.On the moor. D.In the garden without a door.

3.How did Mrs. Craven die?

A.From an accident. B.From cholera.

C.From getting lost in the garden. D.From walking on the moor.

4.What did Martha say the strange sound was?

A.A person in the garden. B.An animal in the house.
