I was lucky to serve as an RA(宿舍协管员)for two years at Manhattanville College, which has students from more than 50 countries. I talked with a lot of students who had trouble living in a dorm room.
Make your room as YOU as possible. It's your HOME. Show your style. Put up the posters your mom never let you put up at home. Do whatever you can to make your room a comfortable place so you'll feel right at home.
A clean room is a happy room. Cleanliness is important whether you share a room with one person or seven. Thus, your room will be always clean.
Snack time is the best time. Some colleges have dining 24 hours a day, while others offer no food after midnight. Have snacks on hand because you'll get hungry during those late-night homework adventures. Try healthy snacks such as fruit and yogurt.And remember the Freshman 15 doesn't apply only to freshman.
The key to getting along well with others is communication. If there's a problem, ALWAYS talk it out with your roommate first. If you still have problems after talking, turn to your RA for help.
A. Be open to differences.
B. Don't shout. Talk it out!
C. Here are some survival tips I want to share.
D. It's unfair for only one to clean up all the time.
E. But watch out for Freshman 15—gaining 15 pounds!
F. Make a schedule that can be followed by everyone.
G. Your dorm room isn't just where you sleep or study.

【题目】We all know what a brain is.Adoctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head.Itcontrols our body's functions, movements, emotions and thoughts.But abrain can mean so much more.
A brain can also simply be a smartperson, If a person is called brainy,she is smart and intelligent.If a family has many children but one ofthem is super smart, you could say, "She's the brains in the family."And if you are the brains behind something you are responsible for developingor organizing something.For example, Bill Gates is the
brains behind Microsoft
Brain trust is a group of experts whogive advice.Wordexperts say the phrase
"brain trust" became popularwhen Franklin D.Rooseveltfirst ran for president in
1932, Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues facingthe U.S.
These professors were called his "braintrust."
These ways we use the word"brain" all make sense.But other ways we use the
word are not so easy to understand.Forexample, to understand the next brain
expression, you first need to know theword “drain."As a verb to drain means to,
remove something by letting it flow away.So abrain drain may sound like a disease
where the brain flows out the ears.But,brain drain is when a country's most educated people leave their countries to live in another.Thebrains are, sort of, draining out of the country.
However, if people are responsible for agreat idea, you could say they brainstormed it.Here, brainstorm is not an act ofweather.Itis a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic.Forexample, business leaders may use brainstorming to create new
products, and government leaders maybrainstorm to solve problems.
If people are brainwashed, it does notmean their brains are nice and clean.To brainwash means to make someoneaccept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way.Keep inmind that brainwash is never used in a positive way.

【题目】阅读理解
An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sales of bottled water from Japan. The water, it angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 “food miles” before it reached Western customers. Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK. It is also worrying that we were wasting our fuel by buying prawns from Indonesia (7,000 food miles ) and carrots from South Africa (5,900 food miles).
Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage due to industry. Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy efficient. It should be noticed that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck to a farmers’ market doesn’t necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar product transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea of “food miles” ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana. The difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouse and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.
What is the idea of “food miles” does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World countries from First World food markets. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment.
(1)The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that ________.
A.UK wastes a lot of money importing food products
B.some imported goods causes environmental damage
C.growing certain vegetables causes environmental damage
D.people wasted energy buying food from other countries
(2)The phrase “food miles” in the passage refers to the distance ________.
A.that a food product travels to a market
B.that a food product travels from one market to another
C.between UK and other food producing countries
D.between a Third World country and a First World food market
(3)By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the author tries to explain that ________.
A.British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian ones
B.Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than tomatoes ones
C.cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuel
D.protecting the environment may cost a lot of money
(4)From the passage we know that the author is most probably ________.
A.a supporter of free global trade
B.a member of a Food Commission
C.a supporter of First World food markets
D.a member of an energy development group

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角)had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). The expression comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling , jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster (怪物)is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants. For example, a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not.
In most places in the world, a green light means to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means agree to continue with a project.
(1)A greenhorn now refers to ____________.
A.a person who is new in a job
B.a new soldier.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
There are many useful suggestions that can help one to improve English. Here are some of them to increase one's English language vocabulary.
Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. It is based on understanding important words and expressions.
Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Researches show that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions(重复) to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context (上下文), the more words one is shown, the better vocabulary one will have. Keep a piece of paper close to you. When you read, pay close attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to understand its meaning from the context. Then look up the word in a dictionary.
Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English.
Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember: "In the beginning was the word." Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the quality of your communication.
(1)We can learn from the passage that learning English vocabulary _________.
A.is just about learning the right words

D.Practice is very important in fluent spoken English.
(3)The best way to learn new words is _________.
A.trying to use them while speaking and writing
