Task 3 练习题 Task 3-01 The University has developed a new computer-based tutoring system. Read the articles in the school newspaper about the service. You will have 45 seconds to read the article. Begin reading now. Step 1: Reading Time: 45 seconds Online Help Beginning next semester, the drop-in tutoring center will be shut down, and the new online tutoring site will be operational.

I guess it would be kind of hard to express some things without being face-to-face. Woman: And you’re forgetting about your computer. It’s old. I bet that it’ll be hard for you to access the site.
