A
There was once a professor of medicine, who was very
strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee (担任考试委员会主席) , the students would be in fear, because he was seldom
pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or
she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of
medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and
got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew
it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.
The professor began to ask.
The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of
which turned out to be OK.
Then
the professor asked about the cure for illness, and the student, too, answered
just as right.
“Good,” said the professor,
“ and how much will you give the patient?”
“A full spoon”, answered the
student.
“Now you may go out and wait
for what you can get.”, said the professor. At the same time, the committee
discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student
noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “ A full spoon is
too much,” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and
cried, “Mr. Professor, I’ve make a mistake! A full spoon is too much for a
patient. He can take only five drops.”

64. Which of the following is Not true?
A. The patient will be in

full spoon
at a time.

a time.
