We were a little late when we got to the movie. The lights were already turned low. The girl at the piano had started to play. In those days. the movies had no sound. The only sounds that went with them came from a piano. I helped Granddad find a seat in the first row. He sat back just as Hoot Gibson came riding across the screen on his horse. I looked at Granddad. His eyes were fixed on the screen and his lips were moving. I saw that he was riding right along with Hoot Gibson! Hoot was running away from outlaws (逃犯). Faster and faster the horses ran. The girl at the piano played louder and louder. Suddenly Granddad jumped to his feet and yelled at Hoot. "Look out!" he cried, "Run for it, Hoot! They're getting closer!" The girl at the piano turned around. Right behind her she saw a tall old man with arms stretched (伸展) widely, it was my granddad. She thought he had gone crazy. With a scream, she climbed to the top of the piano. Then she jumped through the movie screen, making a big hole in it. She ran out of the back door of the movie, yelling. There were about 40 people at the movie that afternoon. Granddad was .the only one there over 12 years old. All the excitement made us boys feel we should do something. But what? Hoot showed us! He was shot from his horse right into the hole in the screen! A friend of mine named Sammy climbed up to see what had become of Hoot. Three or four others followed Sammy. Soon about 12 yelling boys were crowded around the screen. What noise! Sammy shot this cap gun. Someone saw the smoke from the cap gun and screamed "Fire !" Granddad was still standing. He called out. "Get the fireman! Where's the fire?" Just then several men came in through the back door. The girl who played the piano had told them about the crazy man. They were coming to get Granddad! Before they got to him, a fireman came in the front door. He was carrying a horse. "Water!" he shouted to the firemen behind him. Then he turned his horse on the screen, full force. The hole in the screen became larger and larger. Now we could see only the top of Hoot's head and his horse's tail. "I'm getting out of here!" Granddad said to me. "I've been in many a battle, but this is the worst of all." We pushed past the firemen and got to the street at last. By this time there was a big crowd of people. "What's happened? Where's the fire?” everyone wanted to know. But we didn't wait to talk. Granddad took me to his little house and gave me some ice-cream. "I'm sorry you didn't get to see the whole show. Granddad. "I said. "Will you go with me next Saturday?" Granddad shook his head. "No, Robert" he said, "I don't like movies. They are too noisy. My first movie will be my last!" 87.The phrase "run away" in Paragraph 4 can be best replaced by _______. A. escape B. set loose C. leave D. set off 88.The girl yelled because she was _______.
