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.

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?
