5岁那年，我度过了第一个独自在家的夜晚。我把所有的灯都打开，可我还是非常害怕，时不时地听到周围有什么动静。

可当我走近时又什么都没有。那真是我所过的一个最漫长的夜晚。

I spent the first night alone at home when I was only five years old. I turned on all the lamps, but I was still so scared that I heard some voices from time to time. But when I tried to find out, they were nowhere. It was really the longest night I had spent. 一天晚上，妈妈和爸爸出门去了。我只好独自在家度过整个夜晚，我真是害怕极了。

突然我听到厨房有动静，我悄悄地拿了一把笤帚，蹑手蹑脚地溜进去。我迅速打开灯，厨房里没有人，原来声音是从水龙头里发出来的。

The First Night Alone at Home One night, mother and father were out. So I had to spend the whole night alone. I was so frightened that suddenly I heard some noise from the kitchen. I quiefiy took a broom and sneaked in, and quickly turned on the light. There was no one. It turned out that the noise was from the tap.
