At the end of the term, our ethics (伦理学) professor gave us a test. He had told us {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (expect)
one and had warned us it would be included in the final grade.
The test began. Sure enough, I was
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} confident that I finished all the questions after forty
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (minute) except the very last one: What is the name of the woman
who cleans the lecture hall?
I thought it was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} joke. I'd
seen the woman many times. She'd been working in the building for at least a
year. She is short {#blank#}5{#/blank#} dark hair, in her fifties, and we'd even
smiled at each other once or twice. But I didn't know {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (she)
name because I'd never thought to ask her. I handed in my test and the last
question {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (leave) unanswered-hoping the final result wouldn't be
influenced to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (bad) because of it. But then one student put up
his hand. He hadn't {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (finish) the test, either. "I 'm just
wondering," he said. "Will it really change my grade if I don't
complete that last question?"
"Certainly," our professor
{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (smile). "In your future job..."
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also
learned that the cleaner's name was Sherry.
