广州华南理工大学13日举行自主招生面试，再次出现以上不少“神题”，让考生觉得“很意外很囧”。

2012年度关键词“你幸福吗？元芳你怎么看？”命中率颇高，更有卖斧神题挑战考生思维：“有商家把一把斧头成功卖给了前美国总统小布什，你怎么把这斧头再卖给习近平呢？”……

考生的回答也是五花八门。面对幸福难题，有考生回答“人生是一座高峰，山上是富人，山下是穷人，富人成功了没追求，穷人就只有一个追求，要变成富人。”还有考生俏皮地回答：“来参加华南理工的面试本身就是幸福的事。”该名考生在离去时还不忘对考官们说：“希望我们能再见面！”

更“神”的是，一名考理科专业的女生被考官问到“你上一次哭是什么时候？为什么哭？”她就回忆上一次因为和妈妈吵架导致哭的情景，说着说着她竟当场哭起来了。

据介绍，面试采取每人随机抽到两道题回答的形式，每个考生均被5个考官提问，所问的问题不局限于专业知识。学校强调，与去年相比，今年自招面试题目已没那么“神”了，相对中规中矩，而且与专业的关联性更强了。

【沪江小编】卖斧神题“有商家把一把斧头成功卖给了美国前总统小布什，你怎么把这斧头再卖给习近平呢？” 中提到的卖斧头给小布什的故事是真实发生的，这个伟大推销员叫乔治·赫伯特，来看看他到底是怎么把斧头卖给小布什的：

American has the Brookings Institution that fosters prominent salesmen. It has set “Golden Shoe Award” representing the greatest salesman and the challenge is usually to sell something to the current U.S. president. In Clinton administration, the challenge is to sell one briefs to him, but no one had made it.

美国有一个布鲁金斯学会，专门培养杰出推销员。这个学会设有“金靴奖”，能够完成毕业实习任务的学员可以获得印有“最伟大的推销员”字样的金靴子。毕业实习考题通常是向现任总统卖东西。克林顿总统在任期间，学会出了一道题目为《请把一条三角裤推销给美国总统》的实习题，但是没有学员能够完成这一任务。

When Bush took office, the subject changed into selling an axe. Many people were convinced that the president lacked nothing, so they gave up even without trying. Only a salesman named Herbert believed that as long as there is persistence and perseverance, he can sell an ax to the president.

布什上台后，学会把实习题目改为《请把一把斧头推销给小布什总统》。很多学员认定总统什么都不缺，所以直接放弃了。只有一名叫乔治·赫伯特的推销员坚信，只要有恒心和毅力，就能把斧头卖给总统。

So he started to investigate, finding that Bush has a farm and many dead branches of trees need to be cut down. Thus, he wrote to Bush, saying that you must need an axe that not only helps you exercise but also can cut dead branches. Finally, Herbert successfully sold an ax to George W. Bush, and also received the “Golden Shoe Award” that suspended for many years and won by no one.

于是他潜心地研究小布什总统的喜好，发现布什的农场有很多死树枯枝需要清理。于是他给布什总统写了封信，说您一定需要既能健身又能砍掉枯枝的斧头。终于，赫伯特完成了向总统卖斧头的任务，获得“金靴奖”，此后很多年都没有人能够挑战他“最伟大的推销员”的地位。
