One day a professor(教授)entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a test. The students waited nervously at their desks, the professor began to hand out the papers. To everyone's surprise, there were no questions, just a black dot(點(diǎn))in the center of the page.
The professor told the students. “I want you to write about what you see there.” The confused students got started on the task. Twenty minutes later, the professor took all the papers. After a quick look, he began to read each one of them aloud. They all described the black dot, trying to explain its position and so on.
“I’m not going to grade you. I just wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone paid more attention to the black dot and the same thing happens in our lives.” the professor said.
“Our life is like a gift. We always have reasons to celebrate being alive and healthy, the beauty of nature, our friends, the job that provides us a way to make a living and so on. However, we keep focusing only on the dark dots, such as the health problems, the family arguments, the disagreements with friends and so on.”
“The dark dots are very small compared to everything else we have in our lives, but they are the ones that pollute our minds, so just take your eyes off the dark spots in your life”. The professor continued, “Be happy and live a life positively!”
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,回答下列問題。
1.How did the students feel when the professor asked them to prepare for a test?
2.How long was the test?
3.Did the students write about the black dot or the white part of the paper?

5.What should we do in our life according to the professor?
