我平常上课的时分会一再强调听力文章里“例子”的重要性，但这里说的例子绝不只限于for example/instance、such as/like之类的，决议一个东西是不是例子不能只依赖所谓的“提示词”，因为没几个例子是真会说到for example这样的话的。大家一定要从内容上动身，扩展关于“例子”概念的了解，你会发现其实某个人、某个中央、某个东西、某种动物、一个故事、一个段子、某个阅历都能够当成例子，而关于这样的例子考试经常会出一道题：Why does the professor mention/discuss/introduce XXX?
上过我课的同学一定有印象，我们在课上会专门练习“抓例子”的才干，每次听到例子的时分让大家养成下意识的习惯，在笔记里用 ~ 这个符号标出来，听完文章以至在做题之前我就会问大家刚才听到了几个例子?有人在笔记里找到两个~符号，有人找到三个，接下来做题的时分你会发现大部分例子都能对应一道题，而没有考出来的我则会给大伙儿加一道例子题。

L: Actually, you need to return it today. That is if you want to check out those books today. That's our policy.
