閱讀理解 　　The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge．The dark night air was cold and a little wet, and the street lamp gave little light． 　　Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the avenue．When he reached the middle of the bridge, he thought he could hear someone coming near behind him．He looked back but could see no one．However , the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly．Then he slowed down again , feeling shame(羞愧)at having acted so foolishly．There was nothing to fear in a town as quiet as this． 　　Just then , he heard short , quick steps closely behind him．By the time he reached the other side of the bridge , he could almost feel someone at his heels．He turned round and there stood a man in a large coat．A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very little of his face could be seen．Frank said something about the weather , trying to sound friendly and calm．The man did not answer but asked rudely where Oakfield House was．Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way． 　　Then Frank wondered why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour． 　　He knew that the people who lived there were very rich．Almost without realizing what he was doing , he began following the stranger quickly．The man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the windows．A light was still on and the man waited until it went out．When about half an hour had passed , Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop on the ground on the other side． 　　Now Frank realized what was going to happen．He walked quickly and silently across the street towards a telephone box on the corner． (1) Frank was feeling shame at ________． [　　] A． having walked so quickly B． having made a big noise at midnight C． having been afraid D． having been so anxious to go home (2) Frank said something about the weather to the stranger because ________． [　　] A． he wanted to know what the weather would be the next day B． he wanted to start a conversation C． he was a very friendly person D． he wanted to hide his nervousness (3) What does the underlined word “striking” in the first paragraph mean?
