Living with someone helps ease your loneliness. Sure it may seem appealing to be able to play your music and turn up your TV as loud as you want, but coming home to an empty room every day can be depressing. If you have a bad day, you may want to talk to someone.
Friends are great sources of venting (宣泄), but friends can"t always be there. Even worse, they may be selfcentered and show no interest in your problem. It"s not that roommates aren"t like this, but even just small talk can help you feel better.
Having a roommate teaches you how to get along with people and settle conflict. You two should set up rules immediately and discuss what to do when there is conflict. If you two don"t like each other,you still study,relax,and sleep in the same room. You must find a way to get along.
Finally,having a roommate exposes (使接触) you to different ways of living. Your roommate may come from a different city,and have different living habits. He or she also has different interests and personalities. You don"t have to end up liking the same things your roommate does,but try to learn something different. You will be surrounded by many different people in college and have the chance to try things you never have before. Why not start learning from your roommate?
Having a roommate gives you the skills and personal background you will need to utilize (利用) when you are out on your own. Make the most of living with a stranger and besides,there will be plenty of opportunities for you to have your own room later in your college years.

The doll that every little girl wants enables young children to test their possibilities in role playing,giving them a glimpse of what they might be when they grow up,whether to be frivolous or serious (or both).

Barbie inspired a dollrevolution movement. When a Teen Talk Barbie was programmed electronically to say “Math class is tough”,she was criticized by a national women"s group and was regarded as a bad stereotype. Some of her critics also say she"s a bad influence because she"s too thin and encourages anorexia,that she has run through too many stereotypes(固定模式),and that she lends too much significance to the fantasy stages of child"s play.
In some Muslim countries, substitute Barbie dolls have been developed that promote traditional values,with their modest clothing and profamily backgrounds. They are wi

What, therefore, is the purpose of foreign travel for people who are not on business? What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they cannot experience at home? Why travel to foreign countries at all? The answer could be that people are very interested in the past. It is a nation’s history that is its main attraction. Most of today’s tourists travel overseas to find out what foreign countries and cultures used to be like, not what they are like today. The words “cultural tourism” are now part of the language of tourism, and it is the museums and works of art in many countries that are their main attractions.
If they are lucky—and have had sensible, strong governments—many countries also usually have at least a few beautiful places for tourists to visit.
Finally there is perhaps a nation’s greatest attraction: its people. A nation is not just its historical buildings, its works of art or beautiful places, it is also the people who live in it. This is why a country such as Thailand attracts millions of people every year. They come mainly because of the friendliness of the Thai people. It is why the Pacific Islands are also so popular. There may not be much to see or do in Fiji, but there are lots of friendly, smiling people to make visitors feel welcome.
小题1:The passage is mainly about .
A.the importance of tourism | B.different foreign cultures |
C.how to plan an overseas trip | D.why people travel to foreign countries |
A.are similar to one another | B.share the same aircraft |
C.do not have good hotels | D.do not offer a warm service to foreigners |
A.hotels | B.history | C.cars | D.programs |
A.visiting lots of museums | B.traveling overseas |
C.studying the history of a foreign country | D.tourists being interested in a nation’s past and ideas |
First of all, in terms of polluting the environment, driving a car is the worst act an average person can commit. Beijing now finds itself at the top of the list of the most polluted capital cities in the world with Mexico City in the second place. Research also shows that by 2010 around 90% of total pollutants in Shanghai have come from cars. These pollutions are extremely dangerous to our health. They can damage the lungs, cause cancer, and damage the brain.
Apart from environmental problems, relying too much on cars also creates social problems such as traffic jams, road accidents, and noise pollution. The jeeps that proudly drive through the Hutongs in Beijing as if they are in a race often annoy me, and to make it worse, these drivers seldom respect cyclists.
Of course, we cannot forget the convenience that cars bring us when we need to travel far, but I often find it faster to cycle from one place to another within the city of Beijing, especially with the growing traffic jams.
Since people travel further and more frequently than before, cars will certainly be important in the future. At the same time, however, let us work hard to make sure that this invention brings us a more convenient lifestyle rather than trouble and disease. Let us make good use of cars.
小题1:What is this passage mainly about?
A.Environmental problems. |
B.Traffic jams in Beijing. |
C.Problems brought about by cars. |
D.Benefits of using cars. |
A.do something right or legal |
B.do something wrong or illegal |
C.do something good and meaningful |
D.do something bad and meaningless |
A.The author doesn’t want a car. |
B.The author agrees that a car offers freedom to travel. |
C.The author suggests that we should rely on bicycles. |
D.The author thinks that the invention of cars leads to many problems. |
A.The author is troubled by the way jeeps are driven in the Hutongs of Beijing. |
B.The author thinks that Hutongs are too narrow for jeeps to drive through. |
C.The author thinks that the jeeps are too noisy. |
D.The author is worried that more accidents are caused by jeeps than any other cars. |
A.Cars are only convenient for people traveling far. |
B.We should all give up cars and ride bicycles. |
C.Cars have brought us more convenience than troubles. |
D.We should choose between the car and the bicycle according to the situation. |
In a recent UK survey, teenagers were asked to make predictions about the year 2020. One of the most common predictions was that school uniforms won’t be around. They also predicted that both girls and boys will wear make-up more often, and
![](http://img.shitiku.com.cn/uploads/allimg/20191219/20191219004454-58308.gif)
Other predictions involve changing roles of men and women. By 2017, some people say that single men of working age will form more than 10% of all families. It is also predicted that washing powder advertisements will include more men because more of them will do housework. I’ll tell that to my husband when he gets home and see how keen he is to wash the dishes!
Many predictions are about crime and safety problems. Some people think that crime will improve and the world will become a more peaceful place. Others believe that crime is going to worsen and that people will stay at home becoming completely dependent on the Internet for shopping and work. It is also predicted that you will need an electronic card to get into parks as parents demand safe play areas for their children. This is old news for me --- our local government is going to introduce one this summer.
Technology is predicted to play an even more important role in our lives in the future. Some parents might have cameras at home so they can keep an eye on their children while they are out. Quick, kids, turn off the TV and do your homework!
Here’s another prediction. Researchers have concluded that cultural activity may add years to your life. The cinema, theatre and concerts may give us a longer life because they encourage stro

Let’s finish up with my favourite prediction. In the future, elderly people are going to make up a larger proportion of the world’s population than ever before. In Britain, an estimated 100,000 people now in their thirties may live to be 100. And that includes me! I’ll have a big, big party, I promise!
小题1: The writer’s father ________ .
A.has just turned sixty-five |
