The drunken thief who pretended he was Superman to stop a child raising the alarm has been caught after he leapt from the apartment building in his pants to make the girl convinced. Thief Ethan Adamson, 25, told the police that he had broken into a fifth-floor flat after a drinking session, believing it was empty. But he was horrified when the owner’s 10-year-old daughter woke up while he was there. From his hospital bed, the thief told reporters, “To keep her quiet, I told her I was really Superman and I’d soon be flying off back to my secret headquarters.” “She called my bluff (向…摊牌) and told me, ‘If you’re Superman, show me you can fly or I’ll scream’. “I had no choice so I stripped to my pants to look more like a superhero and went to the window. I saw another roof below and I thought I could make it but it turned out to be a lot further down than thought. I know it doesn’t make sense but it did to me when I was drunk.” Police later found him on the roof in just his yellow pants, covered in cuts and bruises after a baffled neighbor heard his cries of pain. He now faces seven years behind bars for burglary. The police spokesman Frank Armado said, “He was in quite a serious state and couldn’t move until we got up there using ladders. He was treated for his injuries and we got him some fresh clothes, before taking him to hospital where he is being kept under guard until he is well enough to be arrested.” 1. What does the underlined part in the passage mean?A. I could land safely on the roof. B. I could make the girl trust me.C. I could prove I was a superhero. D. I could make a successful escape.2. What’s the right order of the event?
