One night, four students stayed up late partying, even though they knew they would have a test the next day. The next morning, they came up with an idea to get out of having to take their test.
Each student put some dirt (土) on their face and hands, and then they went to the teacher’s office. They told the teacher that they had a flat tire (轮胎) on the way to school, and they spent the whole morning pushing their car back to school.
The teacher listened, and to the students’ surprise, he said that they could do the test in three days. On the day of the test, the students went to their teacher’s office. The teacher put the four students in four different rooms to take the test. The students didn’t know what will happen next. They were just so happy because they had three extra days to study and prepare for the test. In fact, to get a better grade, they did review (复习) the les
sons carefully.
