Dealing with a difficult roommate can be both annoying and challenging. However, by becoming aware of the context of the situation, steps can be taken in order to improve the circumstance.

Identify the source of the problem. Sometimes, when someone is annoying, it is difficult to tell exactly which aspect of the situation is causing the anger. Therefore, it is important to find the one element that caused your anger to begin with.

Evaluate the source of the conflict. Is the conflict trivial, or is it serious ? Sometimes, people can become angry over things that seem like a big deal at the time, but when contemplated (深思), are really unimportant. Nevertheless, before any problem is dealt with, it is necessary to determine how serious it is.

Talk to the roommate about what is bothering you. Communication is very important when dealing with problems. The problems will only become worse if measures are taken without telling one another what is even wrong to begin with.

Listen to the explanation that the roommate has to over. Listening is also important when dealing with conflicts. Hearing each side of the story will make it easier to arrive at a possible solution.

Compromise with one another in order to form a solution. Sometimes, conflicts can be resolved simply by changing small occurrences.

試題分析:本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了如何和難相處的室友處好關(guān)系。首先，要弄清問(wèn)題的根源，然后評(píng)估一下沖突是否值得，如果不重要就大事化小，小事化了。此外，作者還建議要多和室友溝通，要學(xué)會(huì)傾聽(tīng)和妥協(xié)。

1. 主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章標(biāo)題How to Contend with a Difficult Roommate可以判斷本文主要內(nèi)容是介紹如何應(yīng)付難以相處的室友，選C。

2.詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)后面or is it serious 可以判斷作者建議要考慮沖突是嚴(yán)重的還是不嚴(yán)重的，故判斷A選項(xiàng)接近該詞義。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章后三段內(nèi)容可知作者認(rèn)為交流溝通，傾聽(tīng)和妥協(xié)折中都是解決問(wèn)題的方法，而D選項(xiàng)沒(méi)有提及。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章開(kāi)頭提出討論的話(huà)題，然后分五段來(lái)介紹和室友處理關(guān)系的方法，也就是提出了五種方法，由此判斷答案選C。

5.推理判斷題。文章主要討論的是如何和難處的室友處理好關(guān)系，由此判斷文章應(yīng)該出于社交關(guān)系部分，選B。

Dear friend,

For the past 17 years, you have been my best friend. I remember that you told me you were called Cigarette because of your features. You have seen me through difficult times, happy times and just about every stage of my life. You have always been here when I need you. Some of my family and friends didn’t like you so much, but I’ve always been on your side. I thought you were a great friend, and I counted on you at all times, especially when I was not very happy.

It’s hard for me to tell you this, but in the past few months, I have been seriously thinking about ending our relationship. I think that I‘ve just been too dependent on you, and I feel that at the age of 35 I should start being more independent. I thought about just maybe seeing you once in a while, but I don’t think that would work. Eventually, I’d start relying on you all the time again. I feel the only way to end our relationship is to end it forever.

I’ve always included you in everything I’ve done. But next week, I’m going on a trip, and I’ve decided not to take you along. I feel this would be a good time to break up. I will be gone for a whole week without you and if I can make it on my own for that week, I know I can make it forever.

It is a little sad for me knowing that I won’t be able to rely on you any more, but I think I will be a better person in the end.

1.By writing the letter, the author wants to ______.

A.say goodbye to his girlfriend

B. tell his friendship with Cigarette

C. tell his travelling plan

D. give up smoking

2.The underlined phrase “counted on” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “_______”.

A. worried about B. cared for

C. depended on D. got along well with

3.According to the passage, the “l(fā)etter-receiver” _______.

A. is the author’s girlfriend

B. has done harm to the author for years

C. will feel sad when reading the letter

D. will never leave the author

4.The author decided to take a trip to ______.

A. get away from his best friend

B. relax himself for a while

C. reduce his sorrow for the break

D. show that he is independent

5.Why does the author want to end his relationship with Cigarette?

A. Because he wants to be more healthy.

B. Because they are going through difficult times.

C. Because his family and friends no longer like him.

D. Because he is going on a trip.

“Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge(判斷)a book by its cover”? This is a good rule to follow when you try to judge the cleverness of others by their looks and performance. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift(天賦)in novel writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl. But don’t make the mistake of thinking he might not be that clever. With a pen and paper, he can tell what he thought very well.

Other people may fool you into mistakenly thinking they are clever by putting up a good front.

A student who listens carefully and takes notes in class is sure to make a good impression(印象)on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may get scores much lower than his classmates.

We may conclude that：you can’t judge someone by appearances. The only way to tell whether a person is clever or not is to get to know him by observing(觀(guān)察) how he reacts to(反映)different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate(準(zhǔn)確的)your judgement is likely to be. So take your time. Don’t judge the book by its cover.

A. Judging cleverness

B. Choosing a book

C. A speechless young man

D. Putting up a good front

A. don’t judge a book by its cover

A. is stupid
