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　 26　 . On their faces was confidence. This was their 　27　 　exam-then on to graduation and jobs.

Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they 　28　 　get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt 　29　 　and able to take control of the world.

The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n)　 30　 　task, as the professor had said they could bring 　31　 　books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 　32　 　each other during the test.

　 33　 　they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles 　34　 on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.

Three hours had passed 　35　 　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 　36　 　faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?” 　37　 　a hand was raised.

“How many answered four?” Still no hand.

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

“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 　38　 .” But the class remained silent.

The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 　39　 　,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are 　40　 　many things about the 　41　 　you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in 　　42______ practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all 　43　 　this course, but remember-even though you are now college graduates, your education had just 　44　 .”

The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the 　45　 　he taught.
