But on that night he looked very easy. Then he told me of his idea.Its very simple. There are 100 questions and I have to get 50 right to pass the test. Ill take a coin into the room. I havent studied a Chinese book for months, so Ill toss(掷,扔)the coin. In that way, Im sure Ill get half of the questions right.The next day, Fred came happily into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour, he wrote down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.The next day, Fred met his Chinese teacher at the school gate. Oh, good, he said. Have you got the results of the test? The teacher looked at him and smiled, Ah, its you, Baines. Just a minute. Then the teacher reached his pocket and took out a coin.
