Surrounded by the towns of Davidson, Huntersville and Cornelius, Lake Norman is a man-made lake. It is also the largest lake in the state covering a shoreline of more than 500 miles. State Park on the lake gives a chance for different water activities.

The boats can be kept on the lake all day from 10 in the morning till 5 in the evening during the summers. Both canoes and pedal boats can seat 2 to 4 people.
The park also set up a group tent camp, where a site can hold about 25 people. People from all over the country come here to catch some fishing action, obviously hoping to catch some fish as well. The inner park lake is also great for fishing, though it offers a smaller area compared to Lake Norman. Those here for adventure like to go for biking and hiking on the trails inside the park.

Several recent studies have found that being randomly (隨機(jī)地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性)of conflict.

Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and cause students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.

An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.

In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."

Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.

According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.

An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.

Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.

At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing.

"One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration."

"I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes(老一套,模式) and reinforced stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring(不和諧的)cultural confrontations(對抗)."

The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.

Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.

1.What can we learn from some recent studies?

A.Conflicts between students of different races are unavoidable.

B.Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.

C.Interracial lodging does more harm than good.

D.Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.

2.What does Sam Boakye's remark mean?

A.White students tend to look down upon their black peers.

B.Black students can compete with their white peers academically.

C.Black students feel somewhat embarrassed among white peers during the freshman year.

D.Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.

3.What does the Indiana University study show?

A.Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.

B.Few white students like sharing a room with a black peer.

C.Roommates of different races just don't get along.

D.Assigning students' lodging randomly is not a good policy.

4.What does Alec Webley consider to be the "definition of integration"?

A.Students of different races are required to share a room.

B.Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.

C.Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.

D.The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.

5.What does Grace Kao say about interracial lodging?

A.It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.

B.Schools should be cautious when making decisions about student lodging.

C.Students' racial background should be considered before lodging is assigned.

D.Experienced resident advisors should be assigned to handle the problems.

I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.
