What seemed impossible is possible nowadays. One spring afternoon last year a group of 36 attacked a 15-year-old girl in the Berlin district of Köpenick. They hit her in the face and pushed her to the ground. When the victim 37 to hand over her money, some of them held her down and 38 her arms with a lighted cigarette. The 39 were not a gang of boys, but of 13- to 15-year-old girls.
While men are still responsible for the 40 of crimes in Germany, 41 violence is on the rise. Young girls and women of all 42 groups are becoming more violent, and that has been a 43 trend for several years. Last year in Berlin, the 44 of female suspects of violent crime under the age of 21 increased by almost 8%, while that of male suspects 45 slightly. Violent crimes like 46 and serious bodily harm have even shot up by 18% and 25% among young women.
Why are 47 women becoming more violent? Gender (性别) 48 may have something to do with it. Today's females are drinking and smoking more, and raising all sorts of 49 things. Girls and young women are generally less held back in adopting male forms of behavior. 50 , the same goes for the 51 of violence. The members of all-female gangs tend to be especially 52 . When particularly humiliating methods like burning or undressing are involved, the 53 will usually be girls. It seems to be all about showing the 54 , “Hey, we can do 55 than you.”

One day in Israel government officials were rebuilding a barn(谷仓). While working, they found a (n) 1 hole in a corner, so they used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to 2 . A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another.
Then, everyone thought that all the mice had 3 . But just as they were just about to start to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing out at the _4 of the hole. After some endeavor, the mice finally got out. But _5 , they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the exit of the hole.

A Korean, who was accustomed to the firm tradition of loyalty to _13_ , said, “I think the relationship between them was that of mother and son.” Once again the others felt this was more reasonable,
At that moment, one Samaritan who sat behind them resting his chin in his palms, 14 looked at other people, and asked, “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?” Suddenly, the atmosphere froze. The group 15 at the Samaritan and remained silent. In fact, the true love is not established on benefit, friendship and loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.
