It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering seniors gathered, discussing the exam due to begin in a few  16   . On their faces was confidence (自信) . This was their last exam - then on to   17   and jobs.

Some talked of jobs the already had; others talked of jobs they   18   get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt ready and able to take  19    of the world.

The coming exam, they knew, would be a (n)  20   task. The professor had said they could bring  21    books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not  22    each other during the test.

  23   they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles  24    on the students’ faces as they noted there were only five essay-type questions.

Three hours had passed   25   the professor began to collect the 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  26    faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?”  27    a hand was raised.

“How many answered four?” Still no hands.

“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.

“One, then? Certainly somebody finished   28   .”But the class remained silent.

The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I  29   ,” he said. “I just want to impress upon you that,  30    you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the   31   you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t answer are relatively   32   in everyday practice.” Then smiling, he added, “You will all   33   this course, but remember-even though you are now college graduates, your education has just   34  .”

   The years have   35    the name of his professor, but not the lesson he taught.
