悲惨原则：
第一个人说一件事情，第二个人回答听不清或一点都没听到，一定有麻烦，回答多半是抱怨。
比如：谈论买东西肯定买不到，谈论订房肯定订完了，谈论交通肯定拥挤，谈论车肯定坏掉，谈论考试肯定不及格，谈论野餐肯定下雨。
解题思路：
第一类，有关学习的考题基于学生身份去猜题。关于考试：考试难，时间紧，能否延期。作业难做。论文没做完。选课多。对老师评价：讲课boring，老师strict，作业多。She is one in a million. 当老师要退休的时候对老师的评价才会高。
第二类，生活。学生穷poor，要省钱。时时带着学生证。购物时一定要bargin。杂志不订应该去图书馆读，如：A: Maybe I oughtta subscribe（捐献，订购） to the magazine. B: Why don't you save the money and read it in the library?。在家看比赛没钱买票。
第三类，学生忙，当话题中既包含学习又包含娱乐时体现学生忙，一定选择学习方面。
