like this again,and we became determined not to waste it.Most important of course were the final exams in April and May in the following year.No one wanted the humiliation of finishing last in

seconds a minute chronologically;a bit faster if you dont invest your time wisely),will be gone and youll have nothing to show for it but regret and a rear-view mirror full of“could haves”,“should haves”and“would haves”.,Language in Use,(本段的难点在于对一些词的理解与翻译，如 an empty field that will remain so,chronologically,invest your time wisely,have nothing to show for it but 等等。“could haves”,“should
