英语简单学第52课 The Intelligence test

Harry1: How was the examination, Dick?
Dick: Not too bad. I think I passed in English and Mathematics. The questions were very easy. How about you, Harry?
Harry: The English and Maths papers weren’t easy enough for me. I hope I haven’t failed.
Dick: I think I failed the Intelligence Test. I could answer sixteen of the questions.
They were very easy. But I couldn't answer the rest. They were too difficult for me.
Harry: Intelligence tests are awful, aren’t they?
Dick: I hate them. I’m sure I’ve got a low I.Q.
Harry: Oh, cheer up（振作点）! Perhaps we didn’t do too badly.
The guy next to me wrote his name at the top of the paper.
Dick: Yes?
Harry: Then he sat there and looked at it for three hours! He didn’t write a word!
