In a few minutes I was in a chair being examined by a dentist（牙医）who said，“Hmm!”as he examined my mouth．“Your teeth are in bad shape．”
“I have already known that，”I said in a way to hide my fear．
“But don’t worry．I’m going to fix them．”
“No．you’re not．I can’t afford to pay you．”I started climbing out of the chair．
“What are you doing?”
“I told you．I have no money．”
“You’re a student at the university．aren’t you?”
“What difference did that make?”
“You’re going to graduate in a few years，aren’t you?”
“I hope so．”
