Last week I went to a supermarket. After I  36  the bill and was passing through the door, the alarm suddenly started to ring. Suddenly, a young guard ran toward me and ordered me to  37 him. I felt so upset and   38 . He took me to a small room, but I was   39  frightened that I stopped at the door. Finding me  40to enter the room, he shouted that I had to go into the room.
He closed the door. I thought he was going to hurt me. Suddenly, a   41  voice said in my ear: “Take out the things you’ve stolen!” “I stole nothing.” I said. “Do as I tell you. If we find them, you’ll be in trouble.” “There is nothing.” I answered. “I didn’t take anything.” I said, taking everything out of my pockets and bag.
  42  this point, a guard came in and asked a salesgirl to   43  me.   44 , they found nothing.
But they didn’t believe that I hadn’t stolen anything. So the young guard ordered me to pass through the door alarm again.
I was   45 when it rang again. I felt   46  and burst into tears. I didn’t know how to prove   47  I was innocent(清白的).
They made me go into the small room again.
“Take out the stolen things quickly,  48  we will dial 110.” They said.
“OK, call the police. I’ m not afraid.” I said  49.
Suddenly,  they  50 their tone. After a while, a salesgirl asked me to raise my feet. I did   51  she had told me. There was a label (標(biāo)簽) on the bottom of my shoe. That was it! That was the  52 thing that had brought me such great trouble. But it  53my innocence.（清白）
After that, they 54  to me in the small room, But they should have apologized 55 , shouldn’t they? A lot of people were there when I was taken away. What did they think of me?

Once upon a time, some children were playing at the seaside when they found a turtle. They began to beat the turtle. Just at that time, a young man came and shouted, “Stop!” The children ran   36  quickly. The turtle was very thankful and said, “Thanks for your kindness. I really would like  37  you to a wonderful place now.” 

The young man rode on the back of the turtle and was taken to the secret palace in the sea. When he   38  the palace, he was very surprised and said to the turtle, “What a nice palace!” To thank him, the king of the turtles gave him a very   39 . He had never seen such a dinner before. He received a warm welcome there and was very   40  everything.

After dinner, the king of the turtles said, “I am going to give you two boxes,   __41  you can open only one.” “You mustn’t open both. Don’t forget it!” the turtle warned him. “All right. I will open only one.” The young man promised. At this time, a large wave sent him out of the sea.

After he went back   42 , he opened the bigger one of the two boxes. To his surprise, the box was full of gold. “My God!” he cried, “I’m   43  now.” Then he thought, “Things in   44  box must be valuable, too.” He couldn’t wait any longer. He broke his promise and opened the other box. As soon as he opened it, he became an old man. His hair turned white. His face   45  an old man over eighty years old. It all happened in a moment. He was sorry for what he did, but it was too late.

We kids have different ways to get in touch with each other now. And for the old, they’d like to go to the market or     26      each other’s houses, but for the young, we kids needn’t follow the     27     of doing so.

The easiest way for us to get in touch and make    28     is to use the Internet services, like QQ. A lot of websites such as www.qq.com have     29    in the last few years and offered such kinds of     30     for free. So we can make friends    31     through the Internet. Maybe we do not    32    all these “friend” well. We add friends only    33    we seem cooler with more friends online.

Then how do we kids keep in touch with friends online? We make it by posting our     34      to each other. At times , “friends”     35     “be missing” for months without a message. Is this the friendship in the 21^st century?

Of course, using these Internet services is not     36    for saying “ Hi, what’s up?” Some of us have found long-lost classmates and friends     37    these websites. And at times we     38  a time to go to a movie or get together. What’s more, we kids can      39     our friends’ favourite music when we are on the Internet.

Believe it or not, these Internet services will be    40     for a while, and it is really a convenient way for us to keep in touch.

IQ（intelligence quotient智商）is a score that shows a person’s level of intelligence.
People used to believe that some people are born with a high IQ and some aren’t.
  32 , a study by scientist at University College London has challenged（挑戰(zhàn)）this idea. According to an article last October on the Journal Nature, scientists are beginning to think that our IQ is not a constant（不變的）score.
The scientists tested 33 healthy young people in 2004 between the ages of 12 and 16. Then they did tests again four years later, when the same people were between 16 and 20.
Scientists found big changes in the IQ scores between 2008 and 2004. Some  33 and some fell  34 as many as 21 points.
To test whether these scores were meaningful, the scientists compared them with results from brain scans（掃描）. They found that the IQ changes matched changes in the structure（結(jié)構(gòu)）of the subjects’ brains. “A change in 20 points is a huge  35 ,” said Professor Cathy Price, who led the research. He said it could mean the difference between an average and a  36 person. The team has not found a clear cause for these changes. However, they say it is  37 that education plays a role in changing IQ.
“Here we have shown that children’s  38 is likely to be still developing, ” says Price. “We have to be careful not to write off  39 performers at an early stage. In fact, their IQ may improve in a few more years. ”
