“Take a seat, kids!” Miss King announced. As kids ran towards the campfire, Miss King turned to Quill, “I’ll leave for a while, just bring the kids watermelons and tell them a story.” “Sure.” said Quill, his hands becoming wet. Quill was good at showing kids how to climb rocks, but he was not a good storyteller.
Quill asked in a low voice “What kind of story do you like?” A boy named Caden answered, “A ghost story!” Alice rolled her eyes and other kids also shouted, “Quill will tell a lovely story, Caden.” “A ghost story!” Caden insisted. Just then, Quill felt a pull from Emma, the quietest in the group, “I’m afraid of ghost stories.”
“What am I going to tell?” Quill thought and then said slowly, “I’m going to tell…a…a toast story.” Caden protested. “A toast story? I want a ghost story!” “You’ll see,” Quill said, “Long long ago, there was a piece of bread... named Bob.” Some kids smiled. Quill talked faster, “One day, Bob was put onto a wooden platform. Bob started crying.” “Bread can’t cry!” Caden shouted. Quill’s ears turned red.
“What happened next?” Emma asked. Quill had no idea, but he quickly looked at Caden, “Caden is going to tell us.” Caden sat up, “Am I?” “Yes, it’s a group story.” Quill answered. Caden said in a scaring voice, “Bob was sure this was the end of his day. Then, a long, shiny thing appeared over him.”
“A knife!” Alice shouted. “Alice, it’s your turn.” Quill said. Alice added, “Then something dropped. The knife spread it all over Bob.” “Salad cream.” said Emma and pulled Quill’s T-shirt. Alice continued, “Suddenly, a giant hand lifted Bob towards a big hole. Bob screamed, ‘Help!’ ”
Caden wanted to cut in, but Alice stopped him. Quill smiled at Emma. Emma took a deep breath, and said, “Bob screamed again. The hand was surprised and dropped Bob. Bob ran away.”
“So, the bread is free.” Caden cut in.
“Not finished!” Emma shouted, “Just then, a bread truck appeared. Bob ran towards it. But something big followed him.”
“What was that?” a kid asked. Emma sat forward. Caden could feel his own breath, as if he was also there with Bob. SNAP! Emma clapped her hands. Everyone jumped up and asked, “What happened?” “A dog ate him.” Emma said, laughing.
In the rest of the night, all the kids were talking about that dog.

解析：
27题：细节题，问当Quill被要求讲故事时，他感觉如何，根据his hands becoming wet. Quill was good at showing kids how to climb rocks, but he was not a good storyteller. 手心冒汗，不擅长讲故事，可知很紧张
28题：细节题，问划线词意思，“A toast story? I want a ghost story!” Caden protested. 讲的故事和想听的故事不一样，所以应该是反对不同意的感觉
29题：细节题，问根据孩子们编的故事，你对Bob了解什么？根据孩子的描述找出对应内容，文章中体现在孩子们说的话也就是我们要去找引号内句子
One day, Bob was put onto a wooden platform. Bob started crying
a long, shiny thing appeared over him
The knife spread it all over Bob.
a giant hand lifted Bob towards a big hole
The hand was surprised and dropped Bob. Bob ran away.
Bob ran towards it. But something big followed him.
A dog ate him.
核对选项
A. Bob是被狗吃掉，不是看到狗后逃跑
B. Bob最初出现在platform，不是卡车
C. 刀只出现了，但并未切Bob，只是抹了沙拉酱
30题：细节题，找对应，题目如果做的多的话会发现我们文章最后一段没用，那如果剩一题剩一段的情况下，这道题肯定出在这里，所以直接根据最后一段来做题，如果不去确定就根据各选项的表达去文章找对应内容
A. 文中没有提到Caden之后是否还喜欢鬼故事
B. 文中未说明是冬季
C. 文中没有提到Quill次日的计划
D. 结尾说大家都一直在讨论那个故事，说明他们投入且满意
