课文内容：
GARY: How was the exam, Richard?
RICHARD: Not too bad.
I think I passed in
English and Mathematics.
The questions were very easy.
How about you, Gary?
GARY: The English and Maths papers
weren't easy enough for me.
I hope I haven't failed.
RICHARD: I think I failed the French
paper.
I could answer sixteen of
the question.
They were very easy.
But I couldn't answer the rest.
They were too difficult for me.
GARY: French test are awful, aren't
they?
RICHARD: I hate them.
I'm sure I've got a low mark.
GARY: Oh, cheer up!
perhaps we didn't to do badly.
The guy next to me
Wrote his name
at the top of the paper.
RICHARD: Yes?
GARY: Then he sat there
and looked at it for three
hours! He didn't write a word!
参考翻译：
加 里：考试考得怎样，理查德？
理查德：不算太坏，我想我的英语和数学
及格了。题目很容易。加里，
你怎么样？
加 里：英语和数学试题对我来说不很容易。
我希望别不及格。
理查德：我想我的法语及不了格，我能回答
其中的16道题。这些题很容易。
但我回答不出其他的题。那些题对
我来说太难了。
加 里：法语太可怕了，你说呢？
理查德：我讨厌法语。我的法语成绩肯定
很低。
加 里：啊，别灰心！或许我们考得还不太
糟。坐在我旁边的那个人只在试卷
顶端写自己的名字。
理查德：是吗？
加 里：然后他就坐在那里，对着考卷看了3
个小时，一个字也没写！
