7、以征服世界。眼前这场考试，不过是一碟小菜罢了。老师已经说过可以携带所需的任何书本或笔记，只要不在考试时交头接耳就行了。学生们兴高采烈地步入教室。试卷发下来了。看到只有5道论述题，他们一个个脸笑上开了花。3小时过去后，老师开始收卷。学生们先前的那份自信再也看不到了，而是满脸惊慌老师握着试卷，面对全班，大家都沉默不语。她扫了一眼眼前这一张张不安的脸，问道：5道题全答完的有多少？没人举手。做完4道的有多少？还是没人举手。3道呢？两道呢？学生们再也坐不住了。那么一道呢？总有做完一道的吧。教室里依然鸦雀无声。老师搁下试卷，说道：这我早料到了。我只是想让你们牢牢记住，即使你们已经完成了4年工科学习，这个领

8、域你们还有很多东西要学。其实，她笑了笑，接着说，这门课你们都能通过，但要记住，你们虽然已经大学毕业，但学习才刚刚开始。多年后，我已忘了这位老师的姓名，但牢牢记住了她的教诲。PassageBWishfortheFreshmanYearAfterfouryears,thetimehascome.Inlessthantwoweeks,Iwillhavegraduated.IlookbacknowandIcantbelievehowfastitallwent.Icanstillrememberthefirstdayofclasses,lookingonthemaponthebackoftheSched

17、上课时的情景，我一边望着课表背面的地图，一边打听教学楼在哪儿。现在我已是大四的学生，常会以羡慕的眼光看着一年级的新生。每天我都祈愿时间会凝滞，接下来的两周过得更慢一些。许多我认识的人都迫不及待地想要毕业，我却恰恰相反。我宁愿时光倒流，再度重温大学生活的每一天。大学生活使我学到了许许多多，而且大都是在课外学到的。大二的生活也许是我生命中最值得留念的一段。正是这一年，我终于让妈妈相信我住校没有问题，她终于让我去了。正是这一年，我结交了一些终身好友，历经多次的成功与失败使我对自己有了更多的了解。大二生活还有着种种新的尝试，到山地去野营，把信手涂鸦的诗投到报社，还在课堂上给老师画漫画。走在校园熟悉的路

18、上，不知不觉中就陷入了深深的反思和对往昔的回忆中。发觉自己好想从头来过，再次体味大学生活的欢娱和激动。一想到毕业心里就一阵阵恐慌。从记事起我就一直在读书。我觉得还有很多东西想学，可是却不得不毕业了。世界如此之大，可能发生的事情太多太多。过去4年中，我一直被一张安全的网包围着。学生这个身份总能让人感到欣慰，使我可以躲开外面世界的无情现实。不到两周就要离校了，每每想到就要毕业，我就打心眼儿里感到不安。因为我从记事起就一直是名学生。我觉得自己是在回避毕业。每当别人问起我大学毕业后打算做什么，我就想大声尖叫，我不知道以后想做些什么。甚至不敢想像早上醒来没有课上会是什么样的情形。不久前，一次面试时，有人问我，这是不是你想干一辈子的工作？我觉得这个问题很可笑，还差点儿笑出声来，不过我还是说了实话。以后的事情，我说不好-谁知道将来会是什么样子？过去的4年中，我已多次
