It was the last day of final examination in an Eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering seniors gathered for the due to begin in a few minutes. On their faces was . This was their last exam — then on to graduation and jobs.
Some of jobs they already had; others talked of jobs they would get. With all this assurance of four years of , they felt ready and able to the world.
The approaching exam, they , would be a piece of cake. The professor had said they could any books or notes they wanted. Requesting only that they not talk to each other during the test.
Happily they entered the classroom. The professor the papers. And smiles broadened as the students noted there were only five essay-type questions.
Three hours . Then the professor began to collect papers. The students looked confident. On their faces was a expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the faced the class.
He examined the worried faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?” Not a was raised. He asked again, “How many answered four?” Still no hands.
Then the students restlessly in their seats. “One, then? Certainly somebody finished one,” he said. But the class remained . The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I expected,” he said.
“I want to impress on you that, even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you don’t know. These you could not answer are relatively common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, he added: “You will all pass this course, remember — you are now college graduates, your education had just begun.”

A young man, a student in one of our universities, was one day taking a walk with a professor, who was commonly called the students’ friend, for his kindness to those who waited on his instructions．
As they went along, they saw 21 in the path a pair of old shoes, which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had 22 finished his day’s work．
The student 23 the professor, saying, “Let’s play the man a（n） 24 : we will hide his shoes, and we stay behind those bushes, and wait to see his 25 when he cannot find them.”
“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never 26 ourselves at the expense of the poor．You are 27 , and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by means of helping the poor man．Put a 28 into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the 29 affects him.”
The student did so, 30 they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by．
The poor man soon finished his work, and came 31 the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes．While 32 his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes; but feeling something 33 , he bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin．
Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his face．He gazed upon the coin, turned it round, and looked at it again and again．He then looked around 34 on all sides, but no person was to be seen．He now put the money into his pocket, and went on to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was 35 on finding the other coin．
His feelings 36 him; he fell upon his 37 , looked up to heaven and let out a sincere thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and 38 , and his children without bread, whom the timely giving, from some unknown hand, would save from dying．
The student stood there deeply affected, his eyes filled with tears．“Now,” said the professor,
“Are you not much better pleased than if you had played your 39 trick?” The youth replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget．I feel now the 40 of those words, which I never understood before: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

I was still shy in the presence of a crowd. And my first day at the new 36 made me a laughing stock（笑柄） of the classroom .I was sent to the blackboard to write my 37 . I knew my name, and knew how to write it , but standing at the blackboard with the 38 of so many pupils on my back made me 39 inside and I was unable to write a single letter.
“Write your name,” the teacher called to me. I 40 the white chalk to the blackboard, as I was about to write, my mind went blank, I could not remember my name, 41 the first letter. Somebody laughed and I became 42 .
“Just forget us and write your name,” the teacher called and walked to my side, 43 at me to give me confidence.
“What is your name?” she asked.
“Richard,” I 44
“Then write it.”
I turned to the blackboard and lifted my hand to write, but then I was 45 again. I tried to 46 my senses but I could remember nothing. I realized how totally I was47 and I grew weak and leaned my hot forehead 48 the cold blackboard. The room burst into a loud 49 and my muscles froze. I sat and 50 myself. Why did I always appear so dumb 51 I was called upon to perform in a crowd? I knew how to write as well as any other pupil in the classroom, and there was no 52 I could read better than any of them, and I could talk 53 when I was sure of myself.

In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be 36 .
Today things are 37 , the world has become too 38 . We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are 39 our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, human life on the earth will not 40 .
Everyone 41 today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing 42 , more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, 43 will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet, we 44 to use bigger and more powerful machines to 45 more and more trees.
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. 46 , in most countries wastes are 47 put into rivers or into the sea, and there are 48 laws to stop this.
We know, too, that if the 49 of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years there will not be enough50 . What can we do to solve these problems ?
If we eat more vegetables and less 51 , there will be more food available for everyone. Land that is used to grow crops 52 five times more people than land where animals are kept. Our natural resources will 53 longer if we learn to recycle them. The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth 54 .
Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and clearer 55 in the future.
