Others may not be famous, but they are really strong in some departments or research fields. At the library How many books can I borrow altogether?Could you recommend me an American novel?We read newspapers and magazines in the reading room everyday.In the library, there are usually three sections: references, fiction(文学类书籍) and nonfiction.The open stacks system is applied in the library.Borrowing is limited to five books and we have to renew them in two months.About testsI have been sitting here for more than 2 hours working on the different and difficult English words and found no interest in it. Its all that I have to take part in the CET-4.Could you give me some tips on how to prepare for the exams?But I have been having a lot of difficulty doing listening part of CET-4.Taking tests needs some special techniques.It is easier said than done. I can understand how you feel about it. I had CET-4 last semester and wanted to drop it after the first several weeks, but I decided to stick to it and I am glad I did. By the time it was over, I had really learned a lot.If you are really concerned about the social development, you may find that what we can learn in class is not enough for us in the future.
