Jack had gone to the university to study history, but at the end of his first year, his history professor(教授) failed him in his exams, and Jack would have to leave the university. However, his father decided that he would go to see the professor to urge(强烈要求) him to let Jack go on his studies the following year.

“He’s a good boy,” said his father, “and if you let him pass this time, I’m sure he’ll improve a lot next year and pass the exam at the end of it really well”

“No, no, that’s quite impossible.” Said the professor at once, “Do you know, last month I asked him when Napoleon had died, and he didn’t know!”

“Please, sir, give him another chance(机会).” Said Jack’s father. “You see, I’m afraid we don’t take any newspapers in our house, so none of us even know that Napoleon was ill.”
