阅读理解。     It was the last day of final examinations at a large college. On the steps of one building, a group of
engineering students were discussing the exam that was about to begin. On their faces was confidence.
This was their last exam before they graduated (毕业) and found jobs.
     Some talked of jobs they already had; others of jobs they would get. With four years of college study,
they felt ready and able to conquer (征服) the world.
     The coming exam, they knew, would be easy. The professor (教授) had said they could bring any
books or notes they wanted, but they couldn"t talk to each other during the test.
     They walked into the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. The students" smiles became
wide as they saw that there were only five essay-type questions.
     Three hours passed and the exam came to an end. Then the professor began to collect the papers.
The students no longer looked confident. They seemed worried. No one spoke as the professor faced
the class with the papers in her hand.
     She looked at all the worried faces in front of her, and then asked, "How many students completed
all five questions?"
     Not a hand was put up.
     "How many of you answered four?" Still no hands.
     "Three? Two?" The students moved restlessly in their seats.
     "One, then. Certainly somebody finished one." But the class stayed silent. The professor put down
the papers. "That is just what I expected," she said.
     "I just wanted to make sure you realize that even though you have studied engineering for four years,
there are still many things about the subject you don"t know. Instead of testing you on what you learned
in this class, I"ve given you questions that skilled engineers face in the world outside the classroom. You
can"t expect to be an expert (专家) on the day you graduate. You have to learn as you go."
     Then, smiling, she added, "You will all pass this course, but remember that your education has just
begun." 1. What does the underlined word "restlessly" mean in the passage? A. confidently
B. proudly
C. excitedly
D. nervously 2. Why did the professor design the final exam in such a way? A. To make the students realize that they still had much to learn after graduation.
B. To find out whether the students could put what they had learned into practice.
C. To show that she had much more knowledge than her students in engineering.
D. To examine whether the students learned what they had been taught in her class. 3. What can be the best title of the passage? A. A Playful Joke
B. A Lucky Chance
C. A Strange Professor
D. A Special Exam
答案

     After our hospital visit, my husband and I needed cheering up, so we thought we would treat ourselves
to a big breakfast at our favourite restaurant. While we were waiting for our meals, we decided to use all our
small change and make our wallets light, so we counted it out as we waited.
     I vaguely (含糊地) remember seeing a man sitting nearby. When our meals arrived, we found a note. It
read, "Your breakfast has been paid for. Hope you have a lovely day."
     It was a wonderful surprise as nothing like that had ever happened to us. He must have thought we could
hardly pay the bill. We looked around to thank him, but he had left. As retirees (退休者), we were grateful
for the help like this, but it was the kindness of a total stranger that meant so much more to us.
