After many nights of watching this boy, she finally recognized that it was Michael who was sitting on the steps every night.

Michael told the police that Joe had borrowed the gun. Upon this, Joe said that the gun had been stolen out of his car along with his CD player.

(答案→)A 解析：Mr. Ward 被天上飞来的子弹打死了，听到这消息后Michael 和Joe意识到是他们射向天空的子弹打死了Mr. Ward。他们保守着这个秘密，而且Michael还把那支枪藏了起来。但是受到良心的谴责，最终Michael交出了枪，自己投案自首了【小题1】A推理判断题。从文章开头Michael froze as he heard the voice on the radio saying a man had been murdered by a bullet that had come from the sky.可知Michael和Joe是无意中击中Mr. Ward，致使他死亡的，所以A选项正确。【小题2】B推理判断题。从文章末段讲述Michael内心感到愧疚而最终向Mr. Ward 的家人忏悔并且投案自首，由此可知他徘徊在Mr.Ward家门口是因为内心不安、受良心谴责，所以B选项正确。【小题3】D词意猜测题。从文章倒数第二段he came out with a bullet 。。。 but without the gun , the police could not place Michael as the killer和最后一段.可知他主动交出了枪，并向Mr. Ward的家人忏悔，由此推测他是投案自首了。所以D选项正确。【小题4】C细节理解题。从文章第三段Michael met Joe and told Joe the gun was under the wood pile in his backyard.可知正确选项为C。

对的，就是这个意思
