利莎帶著阿美在教室自習(xí)，阿美看到利莎桌上有那么多的書，她感到很震驚，于是兩個人的對話就你一言我一句地展開了。

May: Are these your text books? Biochemistry, General Ecology, Botany, Cell Genetics, Molecular Genetics…
Lisa: Yes. I gotta review all of them for the final exam. It is just around the corner.
May: Oh, right! Do you have many exams at the end of each semester?
Lisa: That depends. Some semesters have many; some don't. And some courses don't have exams but only ask for papers. That's easy.
May: And when do you prepare for your final exam?
Lisa: Honestly speaking, most students prepare it one month before the exam.
May: Really? You only review your lessons in one month? Does it work?
Lisa: Of course, it's useful. And it's very crucial to have the copies of teacher's notes, because most questions in the exam are based on them.
May: Wow, and all the key points are included in them? You're so smart!
Lisa: But the exam is not as simple as you may imagine. We have to stay up late.
May: Do you have the classrooms open for the whole night?
Lisa: Yes, some people even pack up his bed quilt and sleep there. That's a little bit crazy.
May: Wow, there is no exam that can be easily gotten through. Don't you think of cheating in the exam?
Lisa: Are you kidding? It's a very serious thing when you get caught cheating in the exams. Maybe, you will be asked to leave the school.
May: You reap what you sow. You know, once been caught cheating in TOEFL, you'll be disqualified.
Lisa: That's right! And I have to get down to my business now.
聽看學(xué)
阿美: 這些是你的課本嗎？生物化學(xué)、生態(tài)學(xué)概論、植物學(xué)、細(xì)胞遺傳學(xué)、分子遺傳學(xué)……
利莎: 是的，為了期末考試，我得把它們?nèi)繌?fù)習(xí)一遍。馬上就要期末考試了。
阿美: 哦，是啊！你們每個學(xué)期末都有這么多考試嗎？
利莎: 看情況而定。有些學(xué)期有很多門考試，有些卻沒有。有些課程不要求考試，，只要求寫論文，那樣會容易些。
阿美: 那你們什么時候準(zhǔn)備期末考試？
利莎: 說實(shí)話，大部分學(xué)生在考試前一個月開始準(zhǔn)備。
阿美: 真的嗎？你們只用一個月的時間來復(fù)習(xí)？那有用嗎？
利莎: 當(dāng)然有用。有老師講課筆記的復(fù)印件也很重要，因?yàn)榭荚囍械拇蠖鄶?shù)問題都以老師的筆記為準(zhǔn)。
阿美: 哇，所有的重點(diǎn)都包括在內(nèi)？你真聰明！
利莎: 但考試不像你想象的那么簡單，我們必須熬夜。
阿美: 你們有通宵自習(xí)室嗎？
利莎: 有，一些人甚至帶著被子睡在那里。那還真有點(diǎn)瘋狂。
阿美: 哇，沒有任何考試時容易通過的。你難道沒有想過在考試時作弊嗎？
利莎: 你開玩笑吧？考試當(dāng)中被抓住作弊是很嚴(yán)重的事情。你有可能會被開除。
阿美: 該是怎么樣就是怎么樣。你知道嗎，在托福考試中，一旦被抓住作弊，就會被取消考試資格。
利莎: 那是應(yīng)該的！我現(xiàn)在得趕緊復(fù)習(xí)了。
