So I leaned(斜靠) over her way and 37 that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of 38 and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, 39 I took it out of my pocket and put it on the desk.
Later, after the test papers had been 40 , the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed(离开). As soon as we were 41 , she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she mentioned how 42 it was to stand on your own two feet and be 43 for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about 44 and emphasized(强调) the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really 45 themselves. She made me promise that I would think 46 about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could 47 . I walked out of the room 48 why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.

I tried to 51 about the pen, but all she could say was that it seemed 52 to her that I hadn’t mentioned anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. 53 I tried to explain that was just doing the girl a 54 by letting her use my pen, I’m sure she continued to 55 that I had cheated on the test.
