Another target appeared from behind and I    39    to get a successful shot. Just at the moment, I noticed something in the corner. I fired four shots and then the test ended. I came out of the house, feeling    40    that I was finally going to pass the test.

When one of the officers followed me out, I couldn’t wait to ask, “Did I pass, sir?” “No,” he said angrily. “What? Why?” I wondered. He then    41    at his shirt and shouted, “See this?   42    shots! Luckily they were paintballs. I didn’t wear any protective gear (裝備) because I was just in the corner to    43    you.”
