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   21 . On their faces was confidence. This was their   22   exam—then on to graduation and jobs.

Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they   23   get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt   24   and able to take control of the world.

The coming exam, they knew, would be a（n） 25  task, as the professor had said they could bring   26  books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not   27  each other during the test.

28   they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles   29 on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.

Three hours had passed   30   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   31   faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?”   32   a hand was raised.

“How many answered four?” Still no hand.

“One, then? Certainly somebody finished   33  .”  But the class remained silent.

The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I   34   ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are   35   many things about the   36   you don't know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in    37     practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all   38  this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just   39   .”

Most Americans don’t like to get advice from members of their family. When they need advice, they don’t usually ask people they know. Instead, many Americans write letters to newspapers and magazines which advice give on many subjects, including family problems, the use of language, health, cooking, child care, clothes, how to buy a house or a car, and so on.

Most newspapers regularly print letters from readers with problems. Along with the letters are answers written by people who are supposed to solve (解决) such problems. Some of these writers are doctors; others are lawyers or educators. But two of the most famous writers of advice are women without special training for this kind of work. One of them answers letters addressed to “Dear Abby”. The other is addressed as “Dear Ann Landers”. Experience is their preparation for giving advice.

There is one writer who has not lived long enough to have much experience. She is a girl named Angel Caveliere, who started writing advice for newspaper readers at the age of ten. Her advice to young readers, now appears regularly in the Philadelphia Bulletin in a column called DEAR ANGEL.
