Adding to the madness of the 2016 US presidential election is American lawyer(律师) Andrew Basiago. He says he has traveled through time nearly all his life, and is pretty sure that he’s going to become “either president or vice(副) president” between 2016 and 2028. Polling data(民意测评) is obviously useless to this guy.

Basiago’s greatest qualification(条件) to hold office, of course, is his first-hand information of past and future events. Basiago claims to have gone back in time to 1863 and witnessed Abraham Lincoln’s speech at Gettysburg. He’s also been to the future — the year 2054 — so he has an idea of the pitfalls(缺陷) that a president should be avoiding. Having traveled widely in time, Basiago has held conversations with President Bush, President Clinton, and President Obama decades before they were elected to office, telling them in advance of their presidencies. More importantly, he has been to Mars in 1981, which makes for rich experience in foreign relations.

One day after school, I went to the teacher’s office to see my teacher, but nobody was there. When I was about to leave, I noticed a piece of paper on the floor. I picked it up and saw the words “FINAL-TERM EXAM” at the top. I put the paper into my school bag secretly and ran out of the room.

After I came back home, I took out the paper quickly. It was the exam paper(试卷) of my History. I felt excited. I took out my History book and started working on the answer. I had never answered any questions so carefully.

On the day of the History exam, I went into the exam hall happily. When I got the paper, I dreamt of getting the highest mark in the whole grade and could not help smiling. “My History teacher always told me to work hard and get better grades, but I let him down time and time again. This time I will give him a big surprise,” I thought.

When the teacher said we could start, I turned the paper over. To my surprise, all the questions were different. In the end, I didn’t finish the paper. I felt very sad. After the exam, I ran to the toilet, took out the paper and carefully read it from the top. Oh! It was last year’s exam paper. I read all the questions but I didn’t read the date.

This is a lesson. Now I know I have to put my feet on the ground. I was sorry to do the wrong thing. Later, I went to the teacher’s office again…. Now, I work harder than ever before.
