课程结束了，玛丽亚感觉特别疲倦，上课时也不能集中精神。是因为她老了，还是因为她负担过重？一起来看看吧。

Shirley: Finally the class is over. Be quick. Ben must have been waiting for long.

Maria: Oh, I am so tired. My back is sore and my neck hurts.

Shirley: That's nomp3al. You have been sitting for three hours, with your attention highly concentrated.

Maria: You are wrong, Shirley. I was always absent-minded in the class. I meant to concentrate on the class, but I was just so tired. Maybe I am old.

Shirley: No. You are just burning yourself out these days. Have a good rest and you will feel energetic again.

Maria: One of my friends took the Adult College Entrance Exam last year. He filled the school column with his name, and his score was relinquished.

Shirley: How could he make such a silly mistake?

Maria: He said he hadn't taken any exams for ten years, and couldn't get used to it immediately. He was extremely nervous then.

Shirley: He lost a very good chance to go to college, didn't he?

Maria: Yeah. The test was fairly easy and almost every test-taker could pass that exam. Adult College Entrance Exam is much easier than college entrance exam. And there are fewer subjects.

Shirley: That's a very good lesson. We must familiarize ourselves with the exam from now on.

Maria: Yeah, I must try to get some sample test papers and finish them within a set time.

Shirley: Don't forget to finish them in the class-room under someone's supervision, making it more like a real exam.

Maria: You must be kidding. Who has time to supervise me?

Shirley: No, no kidding. I am serious. I can be your supervisor if you want.

Maria: OK, supervisor, do you take bribes?

雪莉: 课终于上完了。快点，本杰明一定等了很长时间了。

玛丽亚: 我好累呀，背很酸，脖子也疼。

雪莉: 那很正常，你已经精神高度集中地坐了三个小时了。

玛丽亚: 你错了，雪莉。我上课时总是走神。我想集中精力，但我总是很累。我可能是老了。

雪莉: 不，只是你最近太累了。好好休息一下，你就会有精神了。

玛丽亚: 我的一个朋友去年参加了成人高考，他在学校那一栏填了他的名字，整个成绩就作废了。

雪莉: 他怎么会犯这么愚蠢的错误？

玛丽亚: 他说他有10年没参加考试了，一下子没法适应。那个时候的他特别紧张。

雪莉: 他失掉了一个上大学的好机会，是吧？

玛丽亚: 是呀。考试十分简单，几乎所有参加考试的人都能通过。成人高考比普通高考容易得多。课程也要少得多。

雪莉: 那是个很好的教训。我们应该从现在开始就去熟悉考试。

玛丽亚: 是的，我必须找到几份样卷，并且在规定的时间内完成。

雪莉: 为了更像正规的考试，不要忘了在教室里在别人的监督下做完题目。

玛丽亚: 开玩笑吧，谁有时间监督我？

雪莉: 没有开玩笑，我很严肃。如果你愿意的话，我可以监督你。

玛丽亚: 好的，监考老师，你收受贿赂吗？
