It was the last day of the final exam in a college. Out of a classroom, a group of engineering students were   71    for the last exam. On their faces was confidence. They knew the exam would be easy , the professor（教授）had said they could   72   any books or notes they wanted to the exam.

When they went into the classroom. The professor  73    out the papers. There were only five questions on it.

Three hours passed. The professor began to   74    papers. The students no longer looked confident. The professor  75    the worried faces and asked, “How many of you have completed all the five questions?" No hand was   76   .“How many of you have answered four?” Still no hands.“Three? Two?” The students  77    restlessly (不安地) in their seats.“One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one .” But the class kept   78   .The professor said, “That is exactly what I expected .I just want to show   79  you that even though you have completed four years of engineering studies, there are still many things about the subject you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday   80  .” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all pass this exam, Your education has just begun.”

The years have obscured (使模糊) the name of the professor, but not the lessons he taught.

As we know, museums are building where many valuable and important objects are kept so that people can go and see them. For example, art museums are places where people can learn about v 1 cultures. More and more popular “design museums” that are opening today, however, perform quite a different role. U 2 most are museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found in our daily life, such as fridges and washing machines.

The a 3 of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits(展品). Being different from the art museum visitors, design museum visitors s 4 feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-products(批量产品) work and look as they do, and how design has i 5 the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something b 6 their understanding.

Several new design museums have opened their doors in r 7 years. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy(满足) the public’s growing interest in the field with new i 8 . London’s Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem f 9 less strict than those to art museum, and visitors may also sense(感觉到) the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys c 10 from our everyday life.
