About 200 students were having a final exam in a huge lecture hall. Obviously the teacher wasn’t very well liked, who kept shouting out how much time was left. During the exam he was so  36   going around the room making sure that nobody cheated . He asked the students to pile the completed tests on the huge desk. This made for quite a mess (混乱).

    Anyway, everyone needed a fairly good  37  . Many students did poorly when rushed. One of the students thought that he must get a good grade, so he went on when the professor said “  38  down and hand in your exam sheets”.

Five minutes turned into ten, ten into twenty, twenty into forty…almost an hour   39    the test was over, our friend finally put down his pencil, gather up his work, and headed to the front to present his final. The whole time, the professor sat there, strangely waiting for the student to complete.

“What do you think you are doing?” It was clear that the professor had  40  only to give the student a  41   time.

“Turning in my exam,” replied the student confidently.

“I’m afraid I have some bad  42   for you,”the professor gloated(幸灾乐祸),“Your exam is an hour late. You’ve FAILED it. And I’ll see you next term when you  43   my course.”

The student smiled slyly(狡诈地) and asked the professor,“Do you know who I am?” “No,”cried out the professor   44  .

The student   45  the professor right in the eyes and said slowly, “I didn’t think so,” so he lifted up one of the   46   half way, put his test neatly into the center of the pile, let the pile fall  47  his test in the middle, turned around, and walked out of the huge lecture hall.

I was in lodgings (寄宿处) now, on my own, but the other lodgers had constant visitors up and down the stairs past my door. None of this disturbed me except one girl who sang softly to herself an old Russian folk song as she ran up to the room above. It was a sound of sweetness, musical, soft, unselfconscious and happy. I began to listen out for it, jumped up from my table, and threw open the door to catch a glimpse(一瞥) of her as she passed, but I was always too late. I asked the people upstairs who she was, and described the beautiful sounds she made. They became rather reserved(拘谨) and exchanged glances and hurriedly admitted it might be Sally. I thought she was someone special, not to be discussed in the ordinary way, and became a little curious to meet her. But the last thing I wanted at that stage was to get caught up with anybody. I’d just come to the end of a rather painful friendship, and now I had work to do.

One day, I came face to face with a girl on the landing. It was certainly her; whoever made that noise would look as she did. We stood and stared at each other too long for comfort. I broke the moment and, excusing myself, moved past her because it was too like the movies. I thought for some time of that long, silent stare, and laughed. She was tall and looked proud, with a slight , round-shouldered look that made me breathless and I didn’t know why.
