After signing the hotel visitor’s book, I went 　36 　up to my room which was on the third floor. 　37 　had I closed the door than I realized how 　38 　I was. And 　39 　when I went to bed I 　40 　for hours before at last falling heavily asleep. And the dream I 　41 　then was far worse than lying awake worrying and despairing.

I was in a large building, not unlike 　42 　where I would have to take the following day’s examination. People 　43 　silently in all directions. A large 　44 　stated that the English examination would take place in Room 999. But where could this room be? 　45 　any staircase I 　46 　a dark passage and walked 　47 　to the left where 　48 　was quite a very solid black door behind which I could hear people arguing with 　49 　in a quiet but angry voice. I wished I could ask them for some　 　50 ! I tried knocking on the door to draw their attention but immediately 　51 　died and 　52 　I hurt my hand in my efforts, nobody opened the door. I then tried hard only to find my way back to 　53 .　 　　　But as I was wondered helplessly, a deep accusing(谴责) voice broke the deadly silence everywhere　 　54 　the new empty building. “The examination 　55 . There’s no sense in your remaining here. You are too late, too late.”
