可能有点老了，看John Oliver提到的，一道纽约州英语考试题

In the olden times, animals could speak English, just like you and me. There
was a lovely enchanted forest that flourished with a bunch of these magical
animals. One day, a hare was relaxing by a tree. All of a sudden, he
noticed a pineapple sitting near him.
The hare, being magical and all, told the pineapple, "Um, hi." The pineapple
could speak English too.
"I challenge you to a race! Whoever makes it across the forest and back
first wins a ninja! And a lifetime's supply of toothpaste!" The hare looked
at the pineapple strangely, but agreed to the race.
The next day, the competition was coming into play. All the animals in the
forest (but not the pineapples, for pineapples are immobile) arranged a
finish/start line in between two trees. The coyote placed the pineapple in
front of the starting line, and the hare was on his way.
Everyone on the sidelines was bustling about and chatting about the obvious
prediction that the hare was going to claim the victory (and the ninja and
the toothpaste). Suddenly, the crow had a revolutionary realization.
"AAAAIEEH! Friends! I have an idea to share! The pineapple has not
challenged our good companion, the hare, to just a simple race! Surely the
pineapple must know that he CANNOT MOVE! He obviously has a trick up his
sleeve!" exclaimed the crow.
The moose spoke up.
"Pineapples don't have sleeves."
"You fool! You know what I mean! I think that the pineapple knows we're
cheering for the hare, so he is planning to pull a trick on us, so we look
foolish when he wins! Let's sink the pineapple's intentions, and let's cheer
for the stupid fruit!" the crow passionately proclaimed. The other animals
cheered, and started chanting, "FOIL THE PLAN! FOIL THE PLAN! FOIL THE PLAN!"
A few minutes later, the hare arrived. He got into place next to the
pineapple, who sat there contently. The monkey blew the tree-bark whistle,
and the race began! The hare took off, sprinting through the forest, and the
pineapple ...
It sat there.
The animals glanced at each other blankly, and then started to realize how
dumb they were. The pineapple did not have a trick up its sleeve. It wanted
an honest race — but it knew it couldn't walk (let alone run)!
About a few hours later, the hare came into sight again. It flew right
across the finish line, still as fast as it was when it first took off. The
hare had won, but the pineapple still sat at his starting point, and had not
even budged.
The animals ate the pineapple.
And the two questions:
1. Why did the animals eat the pineapple?
a. they were annoyed
b. they were amused
c. they were hungry
d. they wanted to
2. Who was the wisest?
a. the hare
b. moose
c. crow
d. owl

我靠，怎么上海人连简单的排队和乘车的先下后上都做不好，真够丢人的
。当然，别的城市做得更差。
听说世博期间有人监督的时候还能改善一些，吾心甚慰！
