　　In the Examination Hall

　　在考场

　　When I was walking along the passage, I saw many students waiting outside the examinationhall. I got the doors open, and they entered the hall one by one. I knew that they were excitedfrom their whispering mouths. Obviously, they were trying to recall what they had memorized.

　　The examination hall was clean and orderly. All the desks and chairs were arranged six byseven in straight lines. The atmosphere showed that an important event would soon happen, and it seemed that the students' future would be decided at this very moment.

　　There was Li , sit ting in the middle of the third row, a diligent boy who would like to askquestions . He now looked tired and nervous , and his eyes wer e sur rounded by two big blackcircles . I could make out that he must have spent the whole night prepa ring himself fortoday’s examination . In an instant , the bell broke the silence . Li became extremely excited, his lips and hands trembling hysterically, his feet moving involuntarily.

　　The examination papers were distributed to the students. They quickly glanced at the questionsand started working immediately. Some heaved a heavy sigh of relief, some wore a smile ontheir lips, while some others scratched their heads savagely. A smile flicke red through Li's face, but he lost no time to sta rt working.

　　Soon, the hall was drowned in the noise of scratching paper and regular breathing.

　　The bell rang again and all papers were handed in. All the students streamed out of the hall, busily exchanging their opinions and results. Among them was Li, who, though wearing asomewhat triumphant smile, looked extremely exhausted as if he had gone through a battle.
