　　Mr Smith, an expert of medicine, was very strict(严格的) with the students. Every time he took the chair on the exam committee(担任考试委员会主席), the students would be worried, for he was seldom pleased with their answers. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark(分数) from him. Now a student came into the exam room and sat before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy for him to pass the exam.

　　The student was asked to describe an illness. His answer was OK. Then Mr Smith asked about the cure(疗法) for the illness, and the student, too, gave a quick answer. “Good,” said Mr Smith, “and how much will you give the patient(病人)?” “A full spoon,” answered the student.

　　“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get,” said Mr Smith. At the same time the committee discussed the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student realized that there was something wrong with his last answer. “A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. Very worriedly he opened the door of the room arid cried, “Mr Smith, I've made a mistake. A full spoon is too much for the patient. He can take only five drops(滴).” “I'm sorry, boy,” said Mr Smith coldly. “But it's too late. Your patient has died.”
