7 so much to learn It was the last day of final examination in a large Eastern university. On the steps of one building,a group of engineering seniors huddled,discussing the exam due to begin in a few minutes. On their faces was confidence. This was their last exam-then on to commencement and jobs. Some talked of jobs they already had;others of jobs they would get. With all this assurance of four years of college,they felt ready and able to conquer the world. The approaching exam,they knew,would be a snap. The professor had said they could bring any books or notes they wanted. Requesting only that they did not talk to each other during the test. Jubilantly they field into the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles broadened as the students noted there were only five essay-type questions. Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. No one spoke as,papers in hand,the professor faced the class.
這是一所東部大學(xué)期末考試的最后一天，在一座大樓的臺(tái)階上，一群工程學(xué)的大四學(xué)生正聚集在一起，討論著幾分鐘后就要開(kāi)始的考試。他們臉上帶著自信。這是最后一場(chǎng)考試了——接著就要舉行畢業(yè)典禮和開(kāi)始工作了。 有些學(xué)生談?wù)撝麄円呀?jīng)找好的工作，其他人談?wù)撍麄冋业墓ぷ?，憑著對(duì)四年大學(xué)生活的把握，他們覺(jué)得已經(jīng)做好了準(zhǔn)備，能夠征服世界了。 他們知道，馬上就要進(jìn)行的考試，只是小菜一碟。教授說(shuō)了，他們可以帶任何想帶的書或紙條進(jìn)來(lái)，只要求他們?cè)诳荚囘^(guò)程中不能互相講話。 他們歡快地進(jìn)了考場(chǎng)，教授把考卷發(fā)給他們。當(dāng)同學(xué)們看到只有5個(gè)問(wèn)答題時(shí)，他們簡(jiǎn)直要裂開(kāi)嘴笑了。 三個(gè)小時(shí)過(guò)去了。教授開(kāi)始收卷子。學(xué)生們看起來(lái)不再自信了，他們臉上帶著害怕的表情。當(dāng)收齊試卷，教授面向全班同學(xué)時(shí)，沒(méi)有一個(gè)人說(shuō)話。
