Mrs. Green opened the door so hard that the door almost broke. Then she looked 　26 the window and saw her neighbor, an old lady, crossing the yard. “She is in my 　27 again. Those are my strawberries, not　　 28 . Maybe I should call the police.”

“Of course,” Mrs. Green answered angrily. “What would you do if your neighbor walked into your garden　 30 your permission(允许) and picked your strawberries?”
