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.

“Hi! John.” Mary ran towards me with a bright smile, saying, “I’m going to have a dance performance tonight. I hope you’ll come. Here is the ticket. Don’t forget!” Then she    41  in a hurry.
“What? Dance? Is that    42  ?” I asked myself. Mary was not such kind of girl. She was quite common one. I had never seen her wearing colorful clothes. In fact, she really did not know    43   to dress up. What a terrible thing!
“I should go to, I must go to.” I thought.
I arrived at the hall with the ticket, found my seat and sat down. Her performance was the seventh one. I knew I would have a    44   time before her turn, for I had no sense of art,    45   her performance was worth(值得)watching, no matter how long I would wait.
Time went    46  , I tried my best not to fall asleep.
Just then, came the words, “Let’s welcome the next exciting dance – Latin!”
Hearing this, I opened my eyes as large as possible,    47   to lose anything. Wearing a golden and shiny skirt, Mary appeared. She danced with a sweet smile, looking like a pretty butterfly flying … I could    48   believe my eyes.
After all the performance ended, I    49   her at the gate.
“Hi!” She stood in front of me with her crystal(水晶) shoes. “How do you feel?”
“Fantastic!” I answered.
“Ha, ha. I knew it would be.” She could not hide her excitement, laughing    50  a child.
At that time, I realized that every girl has a pair of special shoes which are like the crystal shoes of Cinderella.
