The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me

The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before a huge pile of troublesome things they call “books”.
I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer, in fact I dared not.
The clock struck 12. “Oh, dear!” I cried, “ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched(可怜的) creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learnt. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, Please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were heavy, so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.
【小题1】When the author was going over his lessons, all the others in the house were .A．asleepB．working C．outsideD．watching TV【小题2】Reviewing his lessons didn’t help him at all because .A．he thought it was useless doing this at nightB．his parents were not able to help himC．his eyes were so heavy that he couldn’t keep them openD．he hadn’t studied hard before the examination【小题3】 What do you suppose happened to the author later？A．He went to a church to pray againB．He passed the exam by luckC．He failed in the examD．He was punished by his teacherA

(答案→)A 解析：【小题1】细节题，由第一段的第一行Everyone was in bed except me.可以推出其他人都在睡觉，所以选A【小题2】推理题，由最后一段倒数第二行I do promise to work hard afterwards,可以知道他以前不好好学习，所以选D【小题3】推理题，由考试前的晚上，他看好几门课程和他向上帝祷告的他以后会好好学习，还有他没看完书就睡着了，所以选C

哦，回答的不错
