1、Task 2Librarian: Can I help you?Student: Yes. I am a bit confused. My sociology class is supposed to read a chapter in a book called Sociology and the Modern Age. According to the syllabus, the book is in the library, but I havent been able to find it. Do you have your syllabus with you? May I see i

2、t? Yes, uh I put it in the front of my sociology notebook. Yes, here it is. Let me see. Oh yes. Your professor has placed this book on reserve. That means you cannot find it on the shelves in its usual place. You need to go to a special room called the reserve room. Its down the hall and to the righ

3、t. Im sorry, I still dont understand what you mean by on reserve. You see, your professor wants every one in the class to read the chapter. If one student removes the book from the library, it is likely that none of the other students will have the opportunity to read it. So, your professor has insu

4、red that all students have the opportunity to read it by placing it on reserve. So, will I be able to find this book? Yes, when a book is on reserve, a student can go to the reserve room and ask the reserve librarian for the book. The student can have the book for a few hours, and he or she MUST rea

5、d it in the library during that time. That way, the book stays in the library, and all students have a chance to read it. OK. Thank you. I understand now. Will there be anything else? No! I am on my way to the reserve room. Thanks again!Task 3Hello and welcome to the university library. This taped t

21、very year, high school juniors and seniors from across the US take the Scholastic Aptitude Test （SAT 1）.The SAT 1 is a three-hour exam that tests students math and verbal skills. Most universities will not accept students without this test. It is also used to help decide how much financial aid shoul

22、d be given to each student.Scores range from 200 to 800 for each part. There is a total of 1,600 points. The test is held every year from October to June. But seniors must take it before December in order to include their scores in their university applications. The average total score for an Americ

23、an high school student is around 1,000.A poor SAT score can prevent a student from going to a good university. Students who want to go to one of Americans best universities, such as Harvard or Yale, must score between 1,430 and 1,600.The test can be taken over and over again, but all the scores will

24、 appear on the students records. However, unlike Chinese universities, the score is not the only ting needed. American universities also look at a students subject grades, what they do outside of school, and their teachers recommendations.In addition to the SAT 1, some universities require high scho

25、ol students to take at least three SAT IIs. These one- hour exams can be taken in any subject, for example chemistry or French.Task 7 Japanese students need 12 years of study before entering universities.They choose the places they want to go and apply before January of their final year.

27、his exam. But many places also have their own tests in February or later, before the new school year starts in April.In order to pass the exam for the best universities such as the National University of Tokyo, many students attend special preparation schools on the top of their regular classes. These extra schools can last for one to two years between high school and university.Although every student has the chance of going to a Japanese university, only 50 percent of high school seniors actually choose further study.Task 8The Scho
