I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was 36 the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final 37 . 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. For a long time, she talked about __46 _and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest，they really 47 themselves．She made me promise that I would think 48 about all the things she had said. Then she told me I could 49 . I walked out of the room wondering 40 she had chosen to talk to me about all those things．
Later on，I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the gir1 next to me, it looked 51 I was copying answers 52 the girl’s test paper. 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．

If you are a modern art lover, you should be sure to drop by the Saatchi Gallery during your visit to London.

It moved from its old in St. John’s Wood to its new home in County Hall near the Thames in the spring of 2003.
Anyone who has heard in the past of the often shocking but always inspiring works on at the Saatchi Gallery will not be when visiting the gallery’s new location. Along with the of new British artists, the gallery still the works of Damien Hirst, the Chapman brothers, and Tracy Emin in its permanent .
Of the artworks, one can see in the Saatchi Gallery, Hirst’s works are probably the most . Hirst’s work first made headlines in the early 1990s when he art from dead animals.
Along with Hirst, the Chapman brothers, Dinos and Jake, also a certain amount of their fame to the Saatchi Gallery. It was through Saatchi these two brothers came to public attention. At the gallery, visitors can see the brothers’ vision of Hell, made from 30, 000 plastic toy soldiers.
Another artist featured at the gallery who has grabbed with her art is Tracy Emin. In 1998, Emin gave to argument when she sold her messy, unmade bed to Saatchi as a work of art My Bed at ￡150, 000.
Are any of these works really art? That is a question you will have to answer for when you visit the Saatchi Gallery. Charles Saatchi himself says, “I don’t have any ground rules for art. Sometimes you look and don’t feel very with it—but that doesn’t tell you very much. It doesn’t reveal much about the quality of the work.”
