A：Are these your text books? Biochemistry, General Ecology, Botany, Cell Genetics, Molecular Genetics…這些是你的課本嗎?生物化學、生態(tài)學概論、植物學、細胞遺傳學、分子遺傳學……

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，我得把它們全部復習一遍。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!你們每個學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。

B：Honestly speaking, most students prepare it one month before the exam.說實話，大部分學生在考試前一個月開始準備。

A：Really? You only review your lessons in one month? Does it work?真的嗎?你們只用一個月的時間來復習?那有用嗎?

B：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.當然有用。有老師講課筆記的復印件也很重要，因為考試中的大多數(shù)問題都以老師的筆記為準。

B：Yes, some people even pack up his bed quilt and sleep there. That's a little bit crazy.有，一些人甚至帶著被子睡在那里。那還真有點瘋狂。
