Harry: How was the examination, Dick?
Dick: Not too bad. I think I passed in English and Mathematics. The questions were very easy. How about you, Harry?
Harry: The English and Maths papers weren’t easy enough for me. I hope I haven’t failed.
Dick: I think I failed the Intelligence Test. I could answer sixteen of the questions.
They were very easy. But I couldn't answer the rest. They were too difficult for me.（振作點）! Perhaps we didn’t do too badly.
The guy next to me wrote his name at the top of the paper.
Dick: Yes?
Harry: Then he sat there and looked at it for three hours! He didn’t write a word!
Harry: Intelligence tests are awful, aren’t they?
Dick: I hate them. I’m sure I’ve got a low I.Q.
Harry: Oh, cheer up

加 里：考試考得怎樣，理查德？
理查德：不算太壞，我想我的英語和數學
及格了。題目很容易。加里，
你怎么樣？
加 里：英語和數學試題對我來說不很容易。
我希望別不及格。
理查德：我想我的法語及不了格，我能回答
其中的16道題。這些題很容易。
但我回答不出其作的題。那些題對
我來說太難了。
加 里：法語太可怕了，你說呢？
理查德：我討厭法語。我的法語成績肯定
很低。
加 里：啊，別灰心！或許我們考得還不太
糟。坐在我旁邊的那個人只在試卷
頂端寫自己的名字。
理查德：是嗎？
加 里：然后他就坐在那里，對著考卷看了3
個小時，一個字也沒寫！
