One Monday morning, the class were excited about the rumor(流言)that the science room was on fire over the weekend.Mr. Johnson, my fifth grade teacher 1it and explained that science class would be cancelled 2the fire. He also 3us not to go near the room because it could be dangerous.
During the morning break, Kim and I 4to check out the damage.A first hand observation would make us heroes at lunch.We safely 5the science room.We stood on tiptoes(脚尖)looking hard through the door window, trying to see what was like inside6suddenly a firm hold on our shoulders stopped us.
"Where do you belong? Certainly not here!"
I turned around to find a teacher staring 7at us, shouting.In those frozen seconds millions of 8flashed through my mind.My father would kill me for disobeying teachers.Worse than that, my mother might be so mad that she might not 9him.My heart10even lower when I thought of how angry Mr.Johnson would be.Soon the teacher led Kim and me back to the classroom, leaving us 11before Mr.Johnson.
But to our 12, there was no yelling and no anger from Mr.Johnson.13, he bent slowly to look me in the eye.I was met with a look of 14rather than anger.He spoke softly and carefully as he explained why he was 15 in my decision to go where I might have got 16.As I looked into the eyes of the man who could send me to unimagined 17at home, tears welled up in my eyes.The thought of disappointing Mr.Johnson 18me while I felt a gentle touch of Mr.Johnson's hand on my shoulder.I glanced up and he smiled.My 19for Mr.Johnson grew greatly the moment I discovered that he still liked me even after I'd disappointed him.I could see that he cared more about my 20than the fact that I'd broken a rule.It was the first time I felt the power of forgiveness.

The world is not coming to an end on December 21, 2012, the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie．
The latest big screen offering from Sony Picture, 2012, arrives in theaters on Friday, with a 200-million-dollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths backed by the Mayan calendar．It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X---or Nibiru---heads toward or collides with the Earth．
Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet’s existence, but the US space agency condemned such stories as an “Internet hoax”．“There is no factual basis for these claims,” NASA said in a question-and-anwser posting on this website．“If such a collision were real, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye．Obviously, it does not exist．Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012,” it insisted．“After all, our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years,” added NASA．
There is another planet, Eris, floating in space．But the small planet similar to Pluto will remain safely fixed in the outer solar system and it can come no closer than four billion miles to the Earth, according to NASA．
Earlier theories set the disaster for May 2003, but when nothing happened the date was moved forward to the winter in 2012 to coincide with the end of a cycle of the ancient Mayan calendar．
NASA insisted the Mayan calendar in fact does not end on December 21, 2012, as another period begins immediately afterward．
And even if the planets were to line up as some have forecast, the effect on our planet would be “negligible（unimportant）”, NASA said．
“And while comets and asteroids （小行星） have always hit the Earth, big hits are very rare,” NASA noted．The last major impact was believed to be 65 million years ago, resulting in the end of dinosaurs．
“We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs,” the space agency said．
49．______ played a key role in the spread of the rumors．
A．A new book               B．The Internet and a new Hollywood movie
C．NASA                   D．An Indian calendar
50．We can infer that ______．
A．people didn’t take the rumor seriously
B．Planet X --- or Nibiru does exist
C．astronomers have been tracking Planet X for over ten years
D．the rumor caused a panic among some people
51．NASA thinks that Eris ______．
A．might have a threat to the Earth     B．doesn’t have any threat to the Earth
C．is too far away to be visible       D．is similar to our planet, where life might exist
52．Which of the following is the best title?
A．New Hollywood movie 2012
B．December 21, 2012, Not the end of the world
C．End of the ancient Mayan calendar
D．How rumors came into being
