问题     我刚过了十二岁生日,就步人了令人头痛的考试区域,而且随后七年,竟注定一直在这区域里跋涉。这些考试真让我伤透了脑筋。主管考试的人最喜欢考的科目,几乎无一例外都是我最不喜欢的科目。我喜欢考历史、诗歌和写作,可他们却对拉丁文和数学情有独钟,而每次都是他们说了算。更有甚者,他们在这两个科目上所出的问题,又几乎无一例外全是我无法作出满意回答的。我本希望他们问些我知道的事情,他们却总是力图问些我不知道的事情。我本来跃跃欲试地想显示一下我的学识,他们却要想方设法地暴露我的无知。他们这样对待我,其结果只有一个:我总是考不好。

选项

答案     The subjects which were dearest to the examiners were almost invariably those I fancied least. I would have liked to have been examined in history, poetry, and writing essays. The examiners, on the other hand, were partial to Latin and mathematics. And their will prevailed. Moreover, the questions which they asked on both these subjects were almost invariably those to which I was unable to suggest a satisfactory answer. I should have liked to be asked to say what I knew. But they always tried to ask what I did not know. When I would have willingly displayed my knowledge, they sought to expose my ignorance. This sort of treatment had only one result: I did not do well in examinations.
