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.

阿美: 这些是你的课本吗?生物化学、生态学概论、植物学、细胞遗传学、分子遗传学……

利莎: 是的，为了期末考试，我得把它们全部复习一遍。马上就要期末考试了。

阿美: 哦，是啊!你们每个学期末都有这么多考试吗?

利莎: 看情况而定。有些学期有很多门考试，有些却没有。有些课程不要求考试，，只要求写论文，那样会容易些。

阿美: 那你们什么时候准备期末考试?

利莎: 说实话，大部分学生在考试前一个月开始准备。

阿美: 真的吗?你们只用一个月的时间来复习?那有用吗?

利莎: 当然有用。有老师讲课笔记的复印件也很重要，因为考试中的大多数问题都以老师的笔记为准。

阿美: 哇，所有的重点都包括在内?你真聪明!

利莎: 但考试不像你想象的'那么简单，我们必须熬夜。

阿美: 你们有通宵自习室吗?

利莎: 有，一些人甚至带着被子睡在那里。那还真有点疯狂。

阿美: 哇，没有任何考试时容易通过的。你难道没有想过在考试时作弊吗?

利莎: 你开玩笑吧?考试当中被抓住作弊是很严重的事情。你有可能会被开除。

阿美: 该是怎么样就是怎么样。你知道吗，在托福考试中，一旦被抓住作弊，就会被取消考试资格。

利莎: 那是应该的!我现在得赶紧复习了。
