Error code

A question raised by a small partner in the fan group （xlrd Library to read Excel Form error ）：

wb = xlrd.open_workbook("C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\./TEST.xlsx")
print(wb)

Error message ：

    wb = xlrd.open_workbook("C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\./TEST.xlsx")
                            ^
