There'll be - can't remember how many - 50? Five zero.
会有，不太记得了，多少道？50？50
50 questions on the multiple choice. And you'll have 75 minutes to do it.
50道选择题，有75分钟的作答时间
So we'll allow for the 10 minutes or 15 minutes to get organized here.
这样就可以留出十分钟，到十五分钟的时间来组织秩序
It's not going to be a difficult, you know... Try to fool you or to catch you.
考试不会太难，要愚弄或是考倒你们
It's going to be pretty straight forward.
而是会考得很直接
I've told you my philosophy about exams during the first class, those of you who remember.
第一节课我曾告诉过你们我对考试的态度，如果你们还记得的话
In the past, I didn't used to have an exam because I remember I wasn't happy taking exams as an undergrad.
过去，我不太习惯弄考试，因为我记得我本科时就很讨厌考试
And you know do not do unto others.
己所不欲勿施于人嘛
But then, I realize that there was the value to them. Not a value in terms of differentiation, you know, grades and stuff, not that.
不过后来我意识到考试确实是有价值的，不是在于高低分化，或者成绩之类的

The value is that the midterm or final gets you to sit down and synthesize all the material.
而在于期中考或期末考可以让你安下心来整合所有学过的知识
So if it's a take home, you look for the answers where you are. You take... you just get part of it.
如果是家庭作业，你可以找你所需的答案，你只掌握了部分的知识
With the midterm or final, you sit down and you read everything from lesson 1 to lesson 26.
但有期中考或期末考，你就能坐下来从第一课看到最后一课
And then that helps you synthesize and hence internalize the material. Because remember what I mentioned time and again:
而这可以帮助你整合知识，进而吸收掌握知识，请记住我反复强调的
this class is built around the spiral theory of knowledge,
这门课是基于螺旋形的知识体系的
meaning everything we talked about in lesson 1, in class 1, is related to class 3, is related to class 7, is related to class 24. Everything is interconnected.
也就是说我们在第一课中讲的内容与第三课相联系，与第七课相联系，与第二十四课有联系。所有东西都是内在相连的
And it's when you sit down, you know when I talk about the material, I know, it's going to come three weeks from now and I know the connection
而只有你静下心来，当我在讲某个知识时，我知道接下来的三周我会讲到什么，以及它们的联系
You still don't, but when you sit down and study for the exam, that's when you get to make the connection,
你们还不能，但当你们坐下来准备考试时才能建立知识间的联系
and that's when you really internalize the material at a much higher level.
才能从更高的层面真正吸收掌握知识
