Our library offers different types of studying places and provides a good studying environment.
Zones
The library is divided into different zones. The upper floor is a quiet zone with over a thousand places for silent reading, and places where you can sit and work with your own computer. The reading places consist mostly of tables and chairs. The ground floor is the zone where you can talk. Here you can find sofas and armchairs for group work.
Computers
You can use your own computer to connect to the wi-fi specially prepared for notebook computers; you can also use library computers, which contain the most commonly used applications, such as Microsoft Office. They are situated in the area known as the Experimental Field on the ground floor.
Group-study places
If you want to discuss freely without disturbing others, you can book a study room or sit at a table on the ground floor. Some study rooms are for 2-3 people and others can hold up to 6-8 people. All rooms are marked on the library maps.
There are 40 group-study rooms that must be booked via the website. To book, you need an active University account and a valid University card. You can use a room three hours per day, nine hours at most per week.
Storage of Study Material
The library has lockers for students to store course literature. When you have obtained at least 40 credits(学分), you may rent a locker and pay 400 SEK for a year’s rental period.
Rules to be Followed
Mobile phone conversations are not permitted anywhere in the library. Keep your phone on silent as if you were in a lecture and exit the library if you need to receive calls.

Google's new camera, called Clips, is a small, smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子),but it’s not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.
This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.
Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the device’s product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot — like when a child’s hand is over the lens(镜头), or if it is tossed in a dark purse.
The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.
Were people concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.
“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced” Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we’re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.
24. What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?
A. It is equipped with tough glass. B. It enables easy internet access.
C. It can be worn on your clothing. D. It allows of hands-free photography.
25. What does the underlined word “candid” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. touching. B. brief. C. unforgettable. D. embarrassing.
26. What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?
A. The advance in technology. B. The popularity of the Internet.
C. The rise of the smartphone industry. D. The reduction in the price of lens.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. New Gadgets in the Age of Apps. B. A New Digital Camera from Google.
C. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life. D. An Alternative Way to Photograph.
C
College graduation finally means taking much of your attention in your first job search. This process can be challenging, especially for those students who had second thoughts about their chosen major and intended career path — or those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career. If you are in one of these groups, fear not! Although your major, coursework, and academic performance are relevant to landing a job, they are not the only deciding factors on where you can work. So, just how important is your major to your job search?
Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields. For example, if you wish to become a teacher, you will likely have needed to complete an education program and finally sit for a licensing exam. Successfully completing a specific major is very important to landing a job in the matching field.
Other majors, however, are closely related to career paths but don’t necessarily require a degree in the area. For example, students who majored in finance or math, may also have the necessary skills to be hired as an accountant.
Lastly, there are many industries, such as professional sales, education (non-teaching positions), insurance, and customer service management, which hire new graduates from several more majors, looking for more generalized (笼统的) requirements. They may simply want to know the student has completed his or her bachelor’s degree, which proves students’ college-level math and writing, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Hopefully, as a college student, you were able to do more than just attend classes. Your non-academic experiences can be very influential on your future career as well. If you worked or volunteered during college and if you enjoyed these activities, seek out related careers. You may qualify for a position regardless of your major.
Although it often seems like your college major alone determines your career fate, this just isn’t the case. It may influence it, but there are other factors that influence your career options as well. If you don’t know what career choices you have, talk to your faculty(院系) or academic adviser. You may be surprised at what opportunities await!
28. What is probably the best title for the passage?
A. Major Ups Your Career B. Why Your College Major Matters
C. Major VS Career: Which Is Right for You
D. How Important Your Major Is to Your Job
29. To be a customer service manager, college graduates______.
A. should pass a licensing exam B. need to have related qualities
C. are required to major in insurance D. must have relevant experiences
30. The writer thinks that _____________.
A. majors are closely linked to career paths
B. students of finance tend to receive higher salaries
C. social work graduates have more employment opportunities
D. volunteer experiences help graduates get employed

Should anger problems also be recognized as an illness like depression and anxiety? Anger is largely viewed as a secondary emotion — one caused by other emotions. People are thought to be angry because they are sad, anxious or stressed. ___31___ Today, though, a growing number of mental health experts think that anger is a serious problem that needs its own treatment.
To tell the difference between “normal” anger and “anger problem” is difficult. After all, everyone gets really mad from time to time. Experts point out a few ways.
Disordered anger, as it is sometimes called, tends to be of greater intensity (强度). ___32 An example: While most people would get upset if a driver cut them off, someone with disordered anger might try to chase down the car and force it off the road.
And in cases of disordered anger, the person gets angry more frequently and his/her anger lasts longer.___33___ But people with anger problems often stay angry for days, weeks or even years; their feelings of anger don’t disappear over time.
___34___ Disordered anger often damages people’s lives. “It interferes (干扰) with people’s relationships and their jobs,” says Raymond Chip Tafrate, a US psychologist. “Even their health is affected.”
Anger clearly increases the risk of certain health problems, as many studies have shown. When people are angry, their hearts beat faster and their blood pressure goes up. _35_
Experts suggest that people with an anger problem take anger-management programs. The programs teach people to control their responses to stressful situations through the use of relaxation techniques. The programs sometimes also include life-skills training to
help bring down stress and remove angry feelings.
A. Consequences are also important to consider:
B. Anger takes away people’s joy in life.
C. For most people, angry feelings disappear quickly.
D. The anger buried inside him rises to the surface.
E. In the past, many doctors didn’t accept the idea that anger could be a problem all on its own.
F. Over time, these changes will have bad effects on the body.
G. It takes very little to set off a person with an anger problem, and their responses are very strong.

John Carpenter did not like to buy toys that somebody else had made. He liked the fun of making them himself. The thought that they were his own work delighted him. Tom Austin, one of his playmates, thought a toy was worth nothing unless it cost a great deal of money. He never tried to make anything, but bought all his toys.
"Come and look at my horse," said he, one day. "It cost a dollar, and it is such a beauty! Come and see it."
John was soon admiring his friend's horse, and he was examining it carefully, to see how it was made. The same evening he began to make one on his own. He went into the wood shed, and picked out two pieces of wood—one for the head of his horse, the other for the body. It took him two or three days to shape them to his satisfaction.
His father gave him a bit of red leather for a bridle, and a few brass nails, and his mother found a bit of old fur with which he made a mane and tail for his horse. But what about the wheels? This puzzled him. At last he thought he would go to a turner's shop, and see if he could get some round pieces of wood which might suit his purpose.
He found a large number of such pieces among the shavings on the floor, and asked permission to take a few of them. The turner(车工) asked him what he wanted them for, and he told him about his horse. “Oh,” said the man, laughing, “if you wish it, I will make some wheels for your horse. But remember, when it is finished, you must let me see it.”
John promised to do so, and he soon ran home with the wheels in his pocket.

Dear Henry,
I’m writing to invite you to attend the Chinese paper-cutting art exhibition to be held in Jinhua Museum from 8 am to 5 pm next Sunday in our city centre.
Paper-cutting is a traditional art form in China, which has a history of more than 1,500 years. People often beautify their home with paper-cutting during festivals and weddings. In this exhibition, you can see paper-cutting with all kinds of patterns. In addition, there are famous artists who will perform how to cut paper on the spot. I wish that you could grasp this opportunity to learn traditional Chinese culture further.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,

The next morning, he went to the turner’s shop with his horse all complete. Proud of the turner’s praise, John ran to his friend Tom, crying, “Now then, Tom, here is my horse, ---- look!” “Well, that is a funny horse,” said Tom with interest; “where did you buy it?” “I didn’t buy it,” replied John, “I made it.” “You made it yourself! Oh, well, it’s a good horse for you to make. But it is not so good as mine. Mine cost a dollar while yours cost nothing.” “It was real fun to make it, though.” said John, and away he ran with his horse rolling after him.
He studied hard in school. He was the top student in his class and was still crazy about making things on his own. When he graduated, he went to work in a machine shop. Definitely, it delighted him to make amazing things by machine. To his satisfaction, he is now a master workman, and will soon have a shop of his own.
