Question

2．Luciano Baietti，a retired school，headmaster from Italy，holds the Guinness record for the most university degrees．The 70-year-old currently has 15 bachelors or masters degrees from various universities across Italy，and is getting ready to get his 16th．
Getting more than one college degree is not exactly unheard of，but 15 is apparently quite impressive，since it's only been done by one man．Although he spends his days working around his house and garden，like most people his age，at night，Baretti turns into n student again．Every morning，at 3 a．m．，when most of the world is sleeping，he wakes up and studies by the light of his desk lamp．He claims studying helps keep his mind active and that every degree he has obtained has helped broaden his knowledge of the world around him．
"Thanks to books，I feel free．After all，the words share the share root，"he says，referring to the Italian words libro （book） and libero （free）．"Me claims to have been inspired by the 19th century French essayist Louis-Francois Berlin，whose portrait is also on display in his study，alongside his many framed university degrees，and whom he describes as"a man of culture and knowledge．
Baietti first made it into the Guinness Book of Records in 2002，after his eighth degree．Then he spent the next 15 years adding seven more bachelors and masters degrees to his collection．
"Each time I set myself a new challenge to see how far my body and my brain can go．"At 70-years-old，Baietti thinks he has enough energy for at least one more degree，this time in food science．
Probably the most important thing about Baietti's achievement is that he managed to get most of his university degrees while working as headmaster of a secondary school，and volunteering with Italy's Red Cross．The secret was always getting up at 3 in the morning to make sure that his thirst （渴求） for knowledge didn't affect his professional activity and his family life．He spent 3 hours studying every day，and that was apparently all he needed to pass his exams and write his thesis （论文）．
