During the test，the girl  38   next to me whispered something，but I didn’t understand. So I leaned(倾斜) over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me  39 I had an extra pen. She showed me that  40  was out of ink and would not write．I happened to have an extra one，so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk．

Later, after the test papers had been  41 the teacher asked me to  42  in the room when all the other students  43   . As soon as we were alone, she began to talk to me about  44  it meant to grow up；she mentioned how important it was to stand  45   your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts.

So I came to find her and tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t   53   anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test.  54   I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor   55  letting her use my pen, I was sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test．

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"

The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless （鲁莽的） or daring, the ride can be as thrilling （惊心动魄的） as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.

The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.
