📖 Reading Passage
University Library Announces Extended Hours During Finals Week: To better support students during final examinations, the library will extend its operating hours to 24/7 from December 10 to December 20. Additionally, a new quiet study floor on the fourth level will be opened exclusively for graduate students during this period. All students are encouraged to utilize these extended services.
🎧 Listening Conversation
M: Did you see the library announcement? I think it's a great idea, especially the 24-hour access. I always pull all-nighters during finals, and the library is much better than my dorm room for concentrating.
W: I agree with the extended hours, but I'm not happy about the fourth floor being only for grad students. As an undergrad, I often need a quiet place too, but my usual spots get so noisy.
M: Well, I guess they want to give grads a break since they have more research pressure. But I still think undergrads should have at least a few quiet sections.
W: Exactly! Anyway, I'll mainly use the late-night hours, but the floor restriction feels unfair.
