Four Ways to Be a Great Roommate

Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or, easily, one of the worst。 1. Follow these tips to avoid the common mistakes that turn good roommate relationships sour.

◇Talk things out.

Communication is key. If something happens, sit down with your roommate and have a face-to-face conversation. I've seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and ,instead of talking to each other, the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs 2.

◇Don't expect to be best friends.

Some roommates become the best of friends, and some don't. Don't put pressure on yourself or your roommate, especially when you first meet. 3. And if your roommate doesn't end up being your best friend, don't worry.

◇Ask before you take.

This applies to food, clothes and anything else. If you want to keep a relationship going, show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first. 4.

◇Clean up after yourself.

This should do without saying. Don't be lazy. Or, at least, don't bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage. Most people I've come across in college are messy. 5. But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid conflict.

A. So you need to think twice before you help your roommates out.

B. This creates nothing but awkward. situations and unhappiness.

C. Even if you both agree to share everything, you should still ask.

D. You don't have all the time to clean your room and keep it organized.

E. It all starts with you to have a good relationship with your roommate.

F. Sometime you get stuck with someone who has tons of negative energy.

G. Remember, you're trying to make a new friend, not to scare your roommate away.

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

I am a vegetarian(素食主義者).Many people are quick to think of vegetarianism as strange behavior.I treasure our Earth, and since we only have one, we should protect it and the wildlife that lives on it.But that’s only one of the reasons to be a vegetarian.

Vegetarians may live longer, healthier lives.There is a connection between red meat consumption and various diseases.From an economic standpoint, it requires less land, money and energy to produce foods for a vegetarian diet.While there are many benefits to being a vegetarian, only a handful of those who attempt to adopt this lifestyle succeed.

The most important quality required to be a vegetarian is firmness since surrounded by the temptation of meat, we tend to give up vegetarianism easily.Creativity is almost as important as commitment.It’s easy to tire of eating nothing but salad. But with a little creativity and some soy products, almost any meal can become vegetarian-friendly.

Not everyone wants to be vegetarian.Accepting this is part of being a vegetarian with style.Forcing your beliefs on others is disrespectful.Stylish vegetarians should also be able to turn down a meaty dish politely without annoying their hosts.

Being a successful vegetarian has been easy for me, but it may not be so for others.A common mistake is quitting before your body has adjusted to the change.It can be difficult to keep the lifestyle in the beginning because of temptation.However, it fades over time.Another common mistake is quitting because you’ve been misinformed about the nutritional wisdom of being a vegetarian.That’s why it is vital to be educated. Countless people will tell you that it’s impossible to obtain the nutrients and protein(蛋白質(zhì))your body requires without meat, but they are incorrect.People actually need only 44-55 grams of protein a day, and that is easily found in a vegetarian diet.Many meat eaters are consuming three times that amount, which is not beneficial.It leads to diseases.Vegetables can also supply all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients your body needs.However, if you’re still not convinced, you can take a multi-vitamin.

B. Many people quit because they’re poorly educated about nutrition.

C. Consuming 150 grams protein a day can be harmful.

D. Vegetarians need multi-vitamins to keep healthy.

5.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Reasons why the author became a vegetarian.

It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners, why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say, they hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don’t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.

Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech—“I have a dream”, you may notice that he stumbles over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making. People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.

As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.

1. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will _________.

A. be smarter than you

B. do better than you

C. notice your mistakes

D. know what you are talking about

2.You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because _________.

A. you find the way of speech-making more important

B. you don’t fully understand the speech

C. you don’t know what the speaker plans to say

D. you attention is on the content

3.It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

A. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad

B. giving a speech is like giving a performance

C. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made

D. the more mistake a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be

4. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. How to Be a Perfect Speaker

B. How to Make a Perfect Speech

C. Don’t Expect Mistakes in a Speech

D. Don’t Expect a Perfect Speech
