Well, it happens every day to high schoolers. Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like _ Even though I'd never steal, store employees looked at me like I'm some kind of hardened criminal mastermind. For example, during one lunch period, my friend Denny and I went to the Grab "n" Go on Tuesday. We arrived to find a line of students waiting outside. A new sign in the window told the story:" NO MORE THAN TWO STUDENTS AT A TIME." After 15 minutes, we finally got in. But the store manger laid the evil eye on us. I asked him about the new sign, and he said, "You kids are lifting too much stuff." You kids? Too much stuff? Not only were we considered to be shoplifters, but brilliant, greedy shoplifters. The Grab "n" Go isn't an isolated case. Earlier this year, a department store worker told me to leave my backpack at the front of the store. When I asked who was going to keep an eye on my stuff, she said, "Don't worry. It isn't going anywhere." In other words, I had to risk losing my stuff so that the store wouldn't have to risk losing theirs. "Don't worry," I replied, "I don't need to shop here." The most annoying thing, though, is the way employees watch my friends and me. It's almost strange and frightening. Once, at a drug store, I went down an aisle and found a guy standing on a box, stocking the shelves. He was watching my hands, which were empty. He got down off his box and rushed off, as if he was going to get the store manger. How crazy is that? You know, _ . I work at the CD Crib, and every day I see adults commit a terrible crime. They put on a set of headphones and sort of dance to the music. Talk about bad! Tomorrow, I'm going to put a sign in the window: " NO MORE THAN TWO ADULTS LISTNENING TO MUSIC AT A TIME." Question: The manager of the Grab "n" Go thought that _ . Options: A: people might be angry about the lining up B: the shop might be over-crowded C: students might steal things D: kids should be accompanied by their parents

Holding a flashlight and a bucket, he is walking in the pre-dawn darkness along the shore of Old Poblacion Beach in the town of Maitum,Sarangani,in the far south of the Philippines. A few minutes later,he spots a patch of sand that appears to have been disturbed by a turtle. Dequina studies the area carefully,figuring out where the eggs have been buried, and then starts digging slowly. After clearing away several centimeters of sand, he uncovers a large group of eggs,roughly the size of ping-pong balls. He picks them up and puts them in the bucket. Dequina carries the eggs to his hatchery , some 50 meters away from the seashore. The hatchery is really just a sandy patch of land under the coconut trees enclosed by a black fine-mesh fence. It is here that he buries the turtle eggs he has collected. Today,Dequina scoops out a hole,puts the eggs in it,and covers them with sand. After 45 to 70 days, the eggs will hatch. Dequina will then carty the hatchlings to the shore,and release them into the sea. He admits to feeling sorrow as he sets the hatchlings free most are hunted down by natural predators,and just one percent survive to adulthood. According to the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), eight species of sea turtles face extinction,including four that come to the shores of Sarangani to lay their eggs --the Hawksbill,Olive Ridley,Loggerhead and Green Turtles. After learning about their _ , Dequina attended a DENR training session on turtle conservation and decided to take action. He helped the local government to set up the Pawikan Nesting Sanctuary next to his house in 2003. The hatchery drew the attention of the locals. "They started to change their attitudes towards sea turtles,"52-year-old Dequina says. "If they see turtle eggs,they will either bring them to me or inform me of the nesting places." Over the past seven years,more than 3,000 hatch- lings have been released to the ocean. Question: What do we learn from the passage? Options: A: Dequina feels sad when he releases hatchlings. B: Dequina has worked for the hatchery for six years. C: The hatchery is far from Dequina ' shouse. D: The hatchery mainly protects injured turtles.
