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.

【解析】

试题分析：有一帮好室友是最好不过的了，但是如果和宿舍里的同伴处不好，那就再糟糕不过了，怎么才能和室友处好关系呢？本文给出了一些和舍友相处的好建议。

【1】E根据上文的Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or, easily, one of the worst可知，有个室友可能是大学最棒的经历也有可能是最糟糕的经历，故选择E，意为：这一切要看你怎么开始和室友保持友好关系。

【2】B根据横线前一句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.可知选择B，指的是如果互相在背后指责对方的话，那么这只会是你们越来越难堪、不开心。

【3】G根据上文的Don't put pressure on yourself or your roommate,especially when you first meet.可知，第一次见面时，不一定就要成为好朋友，不要给双方太多压力，故选择G，意为：你是在交朋友不要把室友吓跑。

【4】C根据横线前一句If you want to keep a relationship going, show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first.可知，一定要尊重对方，拿别人东西时一定要询问，故选择C，意为即便你们已同意分享一切，也要先询问。

【5】D根据下文的But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid conflict.指的是但是，要把自己的物品放好，故选择D，意为你不需要一直打扫房间使得房间井井有条。这样才能和下文的but构成一致。
