利莎带着阿美在教室自习，阿美看到利莎桌上有那么多的书，她感到很震惊，于是两个人的对话就你一言我一句地展开了。

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.

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。
