B：Yes. I gotta review all of them for the final exam. It is just around the corner.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。

A：Oh, right! Do you have many exams at the end of each semester?哦，是啊!你們每個(gè)學(xué)期末都有這么多考試嗎?

B：That depends. Some semesters have many, some don't. And some courses don't have exams but only ask for papers. That's easy.看情況而定。有些學(xué)期有很多門(mén)考試，有些卻沒(méi)有。有些課程不要求考試，，只要求寫(xiě)論文，那樣會(huì)容易些。

A：Wow, and all the key points are included in them? You're so smart!哇，所有的重點(diǎn)都包括在內(nèi)?你真聰明!

B：But the exam is not as simple as you may imagine. We have to stay up late.但考試不像你想象的那么簡(jiǎn)單，我們必須熬夜。
