Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee,the students would be in fear,because he was seldoiii pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term,the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the com?mittee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.

  Mr Paul began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain ill?ness,his description of which turned to be OK.

  Then Mr Paul asked about the cure (药物) for the illness* and the student,too,answered just as right. "Good”, said the professor, "and how mucii will you give the patient?"

  "A full spoon”,answered the student.

  "Now you may go out and wait for what you can get," said Mr Paul. At the same time,the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. "A full spoon is too much," he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, "Mr Professor,I've made a mistake!A full spoon is too much for a patient. He can take only five drops."
