It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few   41  .On their faces was confidence（信心）.This was their   42   exam—then they would graduate and begin to work.

Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they   43  get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt 44  and able to take control（控制）of the world.

  48  they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles  49  on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.

Three hours had passed 50 the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.

He looked at the  51  faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?”   52  a hand was raised.

These questions you could not answer are relatively common（普遍）in everyday  57  .” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all  58  this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just  59  .”
