When you use our university library there are different learning spaces available so you can decide what is best for your purpose.
Social learning areas
We recognize that you can learn from your friends so we've provided social study areas in our library.

Dear Editor,
I have just returned home after studying for a year in Germany. But it seems that my parents don’t understand me now. They expect me to be the same person I was before I went abroad, but I’m not! Why can’t they let me be myself? Jimmy Hi, Jimmy,
As far as I know, people who have lived abroad often find that the adjustment (调整) to returning home is more difficult than their adjustment to living in a foreign culture. Why? We expect to have some problems when we go to a new place, speak a different language and learn the rules of a different culture ... But home? ... we know that place!
Your parents expect that the same person who boarded the airplane one year ago will be returning. Especially if they have never been abroad themselves, your parents probably won’t understand the changes that living abroad can cause in a person. On the other hand, you may have maintained (保持) an ideal mental image of your loved ones while abroad, an image that is broken into pieces when you return.
Remember you have been living a different lifestyle in your host country, and
you have probably become very independent while staying there alone. Now that you’re home, you will be expected to conform (顺应)again to the lifestyle of your family. As a result, you may be upset about your parents’ involvement in your life.
Communication is the key to overcoming this problem. Tell your parents how you
are feeling. Share with them information about cultural re-entry(重归), and ask them to be patient. This does not mean that you have to forget your experience and give up everything you’ve learned! Learn to find a balance between the old and new, just as you did when first adjusting to your host country’s culture. 24. What is Jimmy’s main purpose in writing the letter?
A. To criticize his parents. B. To ask for advice about his studies.
C. To complain about his parents.
D. To ask for help.
25. What does the editor think of Jimmy’s problem?
A. It’s unusual. B. It’s normal. C. It’s serious. D. It’s interesting.
26. The editor thinks that both Jimmy and his parents ______. A. have changed in the past year B. have unrealistic expectations of each other C. need to behave like they did before
D. need to find a balance between the good and bad
27. The author suggests that ______ would help solve Jimmy’s problem. A. patience and trust B. patience and politeness C. better communication between family members
D. a deeper understanding of the host country’s culture
C
We have slow food, slow travel, even slow journalism.The slow food movement reminds us of the value of locally produced, seasonal foods, just as slow travel brings us back to local traditions we miss as we fly off in search of peak experiences.In a 24-hour news era, slow journalism avoids the demands of the breaking story, revisiting and reflecting on old news.In almost every area of life, we are turning towards a world, where time is not a luxury (奢侈品) but a resting place and slowness is almost a necessity.
But that doesn't happen in schools.Courses are forced into short half terms.From the moment we go through school gates to the time we get out again a few short hours later, there must be activity, busyness and speed.Reflection is out.We don't give students the time they need to read and they turn to second-rate substitutes instead.Why read Plato when you can read a book about Plato? The answer is that what
Plato wrote is much more interesting, dramatic and enjoyable than any of the
thousands of books that have been written about him.
I once met a friend, a published poet.“How's the poetry going？” I asked.“It's been a good week，” he replied.“I wrote three lines.” Would we accept that rate of return from our students?
Slow teaching means giving students time to read and think.How often do we demand immediate answers to our questions? Silence is more often uncomfortable than golden in the classroom.Slow teaching also means resisting the temptation (诱惑) to finish every discussion and bring thinking to an end.Slow teaching encourages us to work for as long as the topic demands, Additionally, slow teaching means giving students time to explore the natural world and scientific concepts and time to go outside
