2017考研英语拓展阅读：微信图书馆解决占座问题
Students in Nanjing University will no longer have to worry about their seats in the library being taken up by someone else when they temporarily leave their seats.
如今，南京大学的同学们再也不用担心，自己离开一会后，图书馆的座位被占了。
"WeChat library", a mobile-based online platform for managing the use of library seats, started a trial operation at Nanjing University on Thursday to keep good order in some libraries, triggering a heated debate on campus.
为了保证图书馆的良好秩序，南大推出了一个移动在线座位管理系统平台——“微信图书馆”。该平台上周四开始试行，在校园中引发热议。
The platform runs on the university’s official account "Going to the library" on WeChat, a popular instant-messaging and social-networking platform. Students can book seats, register their presence, report when they leave and reserve seats on the platform.
具体可关注“我去图书馆”微信公众号，注册绑定后可使用该平台。学生可以使用以下功能：签到、直接入座、暂时离开、暂离回位以及离开。
According to the rules, those who book the seat have the priority to use the seat, but they also have to observe a time limit. They must take the seat and scan the QR code on the seat within 20 minutes of the library opening. If not, they will get a violation record.
根据规定，用微信在线预约选座的人有优先使用所选座位的权利，但是必须要遵守时间限定。早上开馆预约后，必须在20分钟内到馆验证就座，否则将记违规1次。
They also have to be back at the seat and report on the platform in 20 minutes if leaving for the toilet, 30 minutes for book searching, and 90 minutes for lunch or supper.
该规则还指出，读者离开座位选择保留有相应的时间规定，如去卫生间20分钟、查资料30分钟，用餐时间为90分钟。
Any violation will be recorded, and when three violations are registered, the system will automatically put the violator onto a blacklist.
任何违规都会被记录下来，且累计达到3次，系统将自动列入黑名单。
Students reacted differently to the new rules.
对此，同学们看法不一。
A university student, surnamed Ye, argued that the time limit was too strict as everyone has different habits. "I think there must be someone who will break the time limit. Not everyone can be so self-disciplined," he said.
叶同学称时间限定太严格了，因为每个人的习惯不同。“我想，肯定有人会打破时间限定的。每个人不可能都约束得那么好。”
Another student, surnamed Shen, believes the new tool manages order well as it effectively prevents seats from being occupied when students leave temporarily.
另一个沈同学认为这一工具可以管理秩序，也能有效防止同学们短时间离开后座位被占现象的发生。
Many students support the platform, as snatching seats has long been a issue. It is a positive change, they said, and at least it is better to use the platform and obey rules than not.
很多学生支持这一平台，因为占座对于大学生来说一直是一大问题。他们说，这是一个积极的转变，有总比没有好。
