Ⅰ.阅读理解
Valerie was very worried about her daddy. For some time she had noticed his hair was going bald. It seemed like every time she looked at him he had less hair than before. One day she asked him boldly, “Daddy, every day you have less hair. Why is that?” Her father smiled and said, “It's the hair thief. And he visits my head during the night when I'm asleep. One by one he pulls out my hairs, as many as he likes. And there's no way to catch him!”
This worried Valerie, but she was determined to help her daddy. That very night she stayed awake as long as she could. As soon as she heard her father's snoring (打鼾), she grabbed a hammer and went straight to her parents' bedroom. She slowly tiptoed in, being careful not to make a sound. She didn't want the hair thief to hear her. When she arrived at her father's side, she began watchfully inspecting his head, determined to catch the hair thief as soon as he appeared. Before long, she saw a shadow on her Daddy's head and, with all of her strength, she swung the hammer down.
Thwack! Her father let out a sudden cry and in a single movement jumped out of bed. The lump (肿块) on his head was already big and still growing. Trembling with shock, he turned the light on, and saw Valerie swinging her hammer in the air.
“I nearly got him, Daddy! I thought I hit him, but it looks like he escaped!” Meanwhile, all the noise had woken, Valerie's mother woke up. Seeing the lump on her husband's head, she burst out laughing.
“Well, that's what happens when you tell silly stories,” she said, highly amused.
