Read the passage and answer the following questions.
We moved into our new house on a warm September day. It was not really a new house; it was hundred and four years old, but it was new to us. The house had running water, gas and electricity, but for some reasons there were no electric lights in the kitchen. It was something quite unexpected: a house with electricity but without a kitchen light. It was quite puzzling because our kitchen was a large room, perhaps the largest in the house. I telephoned for an electrician. He came and fixed it for us. And he charged $86 for doing the job. 3

We work up suddenly. There was a strange noise in the room. "What was that?" I said. " I don't know", said Stacey, scared. I think it came from the cupboard. We waited. 4---C-----. Open the cupboard, she said quietly. But I don't want to. I answered
