The King Dove said, “ I told you before that it is a trick(骗局) of some hunter.
All of them felt ashamed and 51 . One of them said to the King Dove. “Oh Your Majesty, please save us.”
So the King Dove said, “All of you must try to fly with the 52 at the same time and in the same 53 , all of you.”
Just then they saw a(n) 54 show up. The King Dove said, “ Now all of you, fly together.”
So all the doves flapped their wings together and flew with the net. The hunter stood dazed(眩晕). He couldn’t ____55___ what he had just seen.

Twenty years ago,kids in school had never even heard of the Internet.Now,I'll bet you can't find a 36 person in your school who hasn't 37 heard of it.In fact,many of us use it on a regular basis and can even use it at 38 .The “net” in Internet really stands for network.A network is two or more computers 39 together so that information can be 40 or sent from one computer to 41 .The Internet is a vast 42 for all types of information.You may enjoy using it to do 43 for a school project,downloading your favorite songs or 44 with friends and family.Information can be found 45 web pages that companies, organizations, and individuals(个人)create.It's like a giant bulletin board that the whole world uses!But since anyone can put 46 on the Internet,you also have to be careful and use your best 47 and a little common sense.
