A It's Saturday today!
导读：有人一大早起床,后来想起这天是周末,用不着起这么早。你有没有过这样的生活经历呢？尼克起床晚了,没吃早餐就跑到学校,结果呢？读一读下面的故事吧。
Nick gets up in the morning. It is seven forty. He can't be late for school again. He jumps off the bed and puts on his clothes in a hurry. He does not wash his face. He does not check his bag. He does not even have breakfast. He runs to school all the way.
The school gate is locked. “Oh, I'm too late.”
But there's no one in the school. Oh, it is Saturday today!

根据故事内容回答问题。
Why is the school gate locked today? ______

【解析】：
这是一道英语阅读理解题，考查对故事内容的理解。解题关键在于从故事中找到关于学校大门锁着的原因的信息。文中提到尼克到学校发现大门锁着，且学校里没人，最后发现今天是周六，由此可推断出大门锁着是因为今天是周末，学校不上课。
【答案】：
Because it is Saturday today.
