第一册：lesson 103.

原文：The French text.

How was the exam, Richard?

Not too bad. I think I passed in English and Mathematics.The questions were very easy.How about you ,Gary?

The English and Maths papers weren't easy enough for me.I hope I haven't failed.

I think I failed the French paper.I could answer sixteen of the questions.They were very easy. But I couldn't answer the rest.They were too difficult for me.

French tests are awful, aren't they?

I hate them.I'm sure I have got a low mark.

Oh, cheer up.

Perhaps we didn't do too badly.The guy next to me wrote his name at the top of the paper.

Yes?

Thee he sat there and looked at it for three hours. He didn't write a word.
