9．I thought I failed my test but I just I passed!——青夏教育精英家教网—

     When I was at university, I studied very hard. But a lot of my friends did very little work. Some did
just enough to pass the exams. Others didn't do quite enough. Fred Baines was such a student. He spent
more time drinking in the Tea House than working in the library.
     Once at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in Chinese. The test had 100 questions.
Beside each question we had to write "True" or "False". While I was studying in my room the night before
the test, Fred was watching TV. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he
looked very easy. Then he told me of his idea."
     It's very simple. There are 100 questions and I have to get 50 right to pass the test. I'll take a coin into
the room. I haven't studied a Chinese book for months, so I'll toss (掷,扔) the coin. In that way, I'm sure
I'll get half of the questions right."
     The next day, Fred came happily into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour,
he wrote down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.
     The next day, Fred met his Chinese teacher at the school gate. "Oh, good, "he said. "Have you got the
results of the test?" The teacher looked at him and smiled, "Ah, it's you, Baines. Just a minute." Then the
teacher reached his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught in his hand and looked at
it. "I'm sorry, Baines, you failed!".

　　Mr．Whitson taught sixth-grade science．On the first day of class，he gave us a lecture about a creature called the cattywampus，an animal that was wiped out(灭绝)during the Ice Age．He passed around a skull(头骨)as he talked．We all took notes and later had a test．

　　When he returned my paper，I was shocked．There was a big red“X”through each of my answers．I had failed．There had to be some mistake！I had written down exactly what Mr．Whitson said．Then I realized that everyone in the class had failed．What had happened？

　　“Very simple．”Mr．Whitson explained．He had made up all those things about cattywampus．There had never been any such animal．The information in our notes was wrong．Did we expect praise(表扬)for wrong answers？

　　We were very angry．What kind of test was that？And what kind of teacher？

　　We should have figured it out(弄……明白)，Mr．Whitson said．At the very moment he was passing around that cattywampus skull，hadn’t he been telling us that no trace(迹象)of the animal remained(存在)？He had described its color and other facts he couldn’t have known．He had given the animal a strange name，and we still hadn’t been suspicious(有疑心的)．The zeroes on our papers would be recorded in his grade book，he said．And they were．

　　Mr．Whitson said he hoped we would learn something from this experience．Teachers and notebooks are not never wrong．In fact，no one is．He told us not to let our minds go to sleep and to speak up if we ever thought he or textbook was wrong．

　　I haven’t made any great scientific discoveries(科学发现)，but Mr．Whitson’s class gave me and my classmates something just as important：the courage(勇气)to look people in the eye and tell them they are wrong．He also showed us that you can have fun doing it．

(1)

[　　]
A．	they didn’t make good preparations for the test

B．	He wanted to know if they had studied hard and taken notes carefully．
C．	He wanted to tell them they should concentrate on listening to him．
