解析試題分析：Charlie睡覺前發現有人在他的花園里偷東西，給警察打電話報警，警察說巡邏車都出去了，等有閑下來的巡邏車就過去解決了。Charlie不相信警察的話，又打電話告訴警察不用著急了，因為他已經對小偷開槍了，警察以為有人死了，所以馬上就趕到了。
【小題1】細節理解題。根據原文Charlie was about to climb into bed when he found there was a light on in his garden shed.可知故事發生在晚上，Charlie剛要去睡覺。故選C。
【小題2】細節理解題。根據原文All patrol cars have gone out, and a policeman will go to your house when one is free.可知警察認為這不是重要的。故選B。
【小題3】細節理解題。根據原文I just called a short while ago意為：我剛才給你打了一個電話。可知一共打了兩個電話。故選B。
【小題4】細節理解題。根據原文I thought you said that you shot every one of them!警察說：我記得你說你已經擊斃了他們中的一個。可知警察以為有小偷被槍斃了。故選A。
【小題5】細節理解題。通過閱讀可知Charlie不相信沒有警車，所以故意說開槍了。故選C。
