（2017无锡期中调研）
One of my favorite professors in college was a self-confessed（ 公开承认的 ） liar. I guess that statement needs a bit of explanation.
The topic of Corporate Finance/Capital Markets is a very dry and boring subject matter.Dr K was memorable because of something he introduced at the beginning of his first class ，“ Between today and the class right before finals ， I will put a lie into each of my lectures.Your job， as students，among other things ， is to try and catch the Lie of the Day. ”
And then began our 10-week course.
This was a brilliant way to focus our attention— by asking students to challenge his statements.Early in the quarter， the Lie of the Day was usually obvious — immediately causing raised hands to challenge it.
As the quarter went on ，the Lie of the Day became more subtle（ 不易察觉的 ），and many ended up slipping past most students unnoticed until a very alert person stopped the lecture to flag it.
Every once in a while ，a lecture would end with nobody catching the lie.On those days ，Dr K ， looking quite pleased with himself ， would say ，“ Ah ha ！ Each of you has one falsehood in your
book tours 。故选 C。

Brilliant...but what made Dr K ' s technique genius was，during the most technically difficult lecture of the entire quarter ， there was no lie.At the end of the lecture in which no lie was found ，
he offered the same challe nge to work through the no tes. On the followi ng Mon day , he heard our theories for what the falsehood might be for almost ten minu tes before he fin ally said remember the first lecture — how I said that every lecture has a lie ?”
Tired from having our best theories shot down , we nodded.
“ Well, THAT was a lie.My previous lecture was completely on the level.But I am glad you reviewed your no tes carefully this weeke nd.Movi ng on … ”
While my knowledge of the Economics of Capital Markets has faded in time , the lessons have stayed with me : “ Experts” can be wrong and say things that sound right, so always evaluate new in formati on and check it aga inst things you already accept as fact. 语篇解读~~作者上大学时最喜欢的一位教授通过所谓的 “当日假话”来使学生在枯燥乏味的— ，“ Do you
