It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering seniors gathered, 31 the exam due to begin in a few minutes. On their faces was confidence. This was their 32 exam — then on to graduation and jobs.

Some talked of jobs they already had; others talked of 33 they would get. With the certainty of four years of 34 , they felt ready and able to take control of the world.

　 The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n) 35 task. The professor had said they could 36 their books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 37 each other, during the test.

38 they entered the classroom. The professor handed 39 the papers. And smiles appeared on the students’ faces as they noted there were only five essay-type questions.

Three hours had passed 40 the professor began to collect the 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 41 faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?” 42 a hand was raised.“How many answered four?” Still no hands.“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.

“ One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.”But the class remained 43 .

The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly 44 I expected,” he said. “I just want you to learn that, 45 you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the 46 you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t 47 are relatively valuable in everyday practice. ” Then smiling, he added, “You will all 48 this course, but remember — even though you are now college graduates, your education has just 49 .”

The years have weakened the name of this professor, 50 not the lesson he taught.
