It was the final examination for an
introductory English course at the local university. Like many such
freshman courses, it was designed to weed out
(清除)new
students, having over 700 students in the class! The examination was two
hours long, and exam booklets were provided.
The professor was very
strict and told the class that any exam that was not on his desk in
exactly two hours would not be accepted and the student would fail. 1/2
hour into the exam, a student came rushing in and asked the professor for
an exam booklet.
"You're not going to have time to finish this,"
the professor stated sarcastically as he handed the student a
booklet.
"Yes I will," replied the student.
He then took a
seat and began writing. After two hours, the professor called for the
exams, and the students filed up and handed them in. All except the late
student, who continued writing. 1/2 hour later, the last student came up
to the professor who was sitting at his desk preparing for his next class.
He attempted to put his exam on the stack of exam booklets already
there.
"No you don't, I'm not going to accept that. It's
late."
The student looked incredulous and angry. "Do you know WHO I
am?"
"No, as a matter of fact I don't," replied the professor with
an air of sarcasm in his voice.
"Are You sure that you don't know
WHO I am?!" the student asked again.
"No, and I don't care."
replied the professor with an air of superiority. "Good," replied
the student, who quickly lifted the stack of completed exams, stuffed his
in the middle, and walked out of the room.
