         "I wish Central Bank would be robbed," George Pickens said to himself. He had been making this
    wish daily from the time he had started work as a teller (银行柜员) at the bank.
         All over the country banks were being robbed, George thought sourly. Why not this bank? Were
    robbers scornful of its four-million-dollar capital?Were they afraid of Mr. Ackerman, the old bank guard, who hadn't pulled out his gun in twenty-two years?
         Of course, George had a reason for wanting the bank to be robbed. After all, he couldn't simply take
    the thick bundles of bills that were under his hands all day long. So he had thought of another way to get
    them. His plan was simple. It went like this:
          If Bank Robber A holds up Bank Teller B…
          And if Bank Teller B gives Bank Robber A a certain amount of money…
         What is to prevent Bank Teller B from keeping all the money left and claiming that it was stolen by
    Bank Robber A?There was only one problem. Where was Bank Robber A?
         One morning George entered the bank feeling something was about to happen. "Good morning, Mr.
    Burrows." he said cheerfully. The bank president muttered something and went into his office.
         At two o'clock Bank Robber A walked in. George knew he was a bank robber. For one thing, he
    slipped in. For another, he wore a mask.
         "This is a holdup." the man said roughly. He took a pistol from his pocket. The guard made a small
    sound. "You," the bank robber said, "lie down on the floor." Mr. Ackerman lay down. The robber
    stepped over to George's cage.
         "All right." he said. "Hand it over."
         "Yes, sir." said George. "Would you like it in ten-or-twenty-dollar bills?"
         "Just hand it over!"
         George reached into his cashbox and took all the bills from the top section-close to six thousand
    dollars. He passed them through the window. The robber snatched them, stuffed them into his pocket,
    and turned to leave.
         Then, while everyone watched Bank Robber A, Bank Teller B calmly lifted off the top section of the
    cashbox and slipped bills from the bottom section into his pockets.
         The bank robber was gone. George fainted. When he woke he smiled up at the worried faces looking down at him. "I'm all right." he said bravely.
          "Perhaps you should go home, George." Mr. Bell, the chief auditor, said.
         As soon as he was safely behind his bedroom door, George took the money from his pockets and
    counted it. He had seven thousand dollars. He was very happy.
         The next morning when George arrived at the bank, it was not open for business. But everyone was
    there, helping to examine the bank's records for the special audit (审计师) Mr. Bell was taking.
         George was called into Mr. Burrows' office. The bank president seemed strangely cheerful. "George,"
    he said, "I want you to meet Mr. Carruthers, who used to be president of our bank."
         "Good morning, George." said Mr. Carruthers. "I was sorry to hear you fainted yesterday. Are you all
    right now?"
         "Yes, sir. Just fine, thanks."
         "I'm glad to hear it. That was quite an adventure. It just goes to show how easy it is to rob our bank."
         "Sir?"said George, confused.?
         "George, I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with all the banks being robbed these
    days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our little bank can be robbed too.     That's why I
    played my little game yesterday, just to keep everybody on his toes."
    "I don't understand." said George. "What game?"
         The old man laughed and whipped out a mask. He placed it over his face and said, "All right. Hand it
    over!" Mr. Burrows laughed but George did not.
         "And the money?" George asked in a small voice.
         "Don't worry." Mr. Carruthers said. "I put it all back in your cashbox, all six thousand. We're just
    finishing up the audit now." George turned cold with fear.
         Behind them, the door opened and Mr. Bell, the chief auditor, put his head into the room. "Mr.
    Burrows," he said gravely, "may I see you a moment?"

     Seven loyal（忠实的）readers came to the Teens Office two weeks ago. They had a wonderful day learning how to make a newspaper. But what  36  made them excited was that they had their say. 

    “What most _37_ me was when I was saying something, I found all eyes were on me,” said Tang Shining, one of the students. Her friend, Li Chunbei _38_, and felt very glad that when she was talking, the editors（编辑） nodded and _39_ took notes.

    Students are happy to see the editors listen to their _40_. You may often _41_about being neglected（忽视） by teachers and parents. _42__ before complaining, please make sure that you have already spoken about your _43_.

    Traditionally in China, teachers at school and parents were_44_ the ones to tell teenagers what they should and shouldn’t do. The young are _45_ to doing what they are told, rather than thinking by themselves. But then their ideas would be locked in their brain and not be _46_.

    A girl wrote to Teens about her family story. She _47__ to be very sad because her father seldom talked and played with her. After years of consideration, she _48_ decided to write her father a letter, telling him about her sadness. To her _49__, the father _50_, saying that he didn’t realize his mistake. From then on, he really _51_.

    Sometimes, we need to let our _52__ be heard, so others can understand our thoughts and feelings.

    Don’t be afraid of being _53_ for what you have done. You know it is your _54_ to speak your mind. Even if your suggestions are denied, at least you have tried your best. You will not be left with any _55_.

    Every weekday morning I take the 8:30 bus to go to my job. I know by sight several people who also ride in that bus. Some of the girls work as maids. They get off at each stop in ones, twos or threes.

    But at one corner something wonderful happens. Before the bus stops, a little dog races out of the nearest house. He doesn't look at two of the maids who get off. But for the third he has a joyful "Hello!" From head to tail his little body wags his happiness. Everyone on the bus watches until the maid and the dog go into the house.

    One day not long ago the maid wasn't on the bus. I wondered if the dog would be waiting for her. Sure enough, he was!

    He stood at the back door of the bus for a minute. I could see his joyful welcome turning into fearful worry. Where was she?

    The driver closed the back door. The dog ran to the front door. It, too, shut in his face.

    Everyone on the bus felt sad. Poor little pup! He looked so unhappy, standing there!

    The driver couldn't stand it. He opened the door and looked down at the dog. "She didn't come today," he said, in a loud, kind voice.

    A man in a front seat leaned forward. "Maybe she will come tomorrow," he called.

    The dog wagged his tail as if to say "thank you." He watched the bus as we pulled away. Then he turned to trot home ── alone.

    The next day everyone on the bus was happy to see the maid back again. Yes, the dog was waiting for her.

    The welcome he gave her was even warmer and more delighted than usual. We all smiled at one another. How bright and good the morning suddenly seemed to us!
