I find it pleasant to be alone the greater part of the time; to be in company, even with the best, is soon tiresome and wasteful, and I never found a companion so companionable as solitude (独处).

We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad than when we stay in the meeting-rooms, for solitude is not measured by the miles of space between a man and his fellows.

The farmer, who can work alone all day without feeling lonesome, but must do something with others to get pleasure at night, wonders how the student can sit alone at night; he does not realize that the student, though in the house, is actually at work in his field and cutting his wood as the farmer was in his.

Society is commonly too cheap:We meet at very short intervals (间隔) ,not having had time to get any new value for each other; we meet at meals three times a day and give each other a new taste of that unpleasant old cheese; we live thick and are in each other’s way, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another.

We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable (可忍受的); certainly less frequency would be enough for all important and hearty communications between men.

It would be better if there were but one to live within a square mile, as where I live ,for as the value of a man is not in his skin, we need not touch him.

72.The writer uses the example of the farmer and the student to show that _____.

A.men need to do something for pleasure after their work.

B.men are not lonely when they are working.

C.solitude is necessary for a student.

D.people have different ideas of solitude.

73.When the writer says:“Society is commonly too cheap” he means that ______.

A.we meet not frequently enough so we don’t understand each other well.

B.we eat cheap food and live a simple life so we don’t feel very happy.

C.our lives are too regular for us to find any happiness in them.

D.people don’t have enough hearty communication to realize the value in others

74.The writer’s opinion on the value of a man is that _____.

A.it is made too low by the rules of etiquette and politeness.

B.it can be discovered through frequent physical touch.

C.it can be found in a man’s appearance.

D.it doesn’t lie in physical touch.

75.The writer almost believes that ______.

A.a student and a farmer have no idea of solitude.

B.the same life we live every day is the cause of man’s loneliness.

C.etiquette and politeness are rules that make frequent meetings tolerable.

D.less frequent meetings can make us more clear about the value of men.

Dear Sir,
How are you? As a exchange student, I am writing to tell you I would prefer to move into a single room in next term, as I find it inconvenient to share a room with others. My roommate often held parties at night, made much noise. Besides, his friends are always visiting him, that disturbs me a lot. So I hope to draw your attentions to this problem. If you think in my position, I am sure he will agree that the only solution for me is get a room of my own, one not in the same building and as near to the school campus as possible. I would be gratefully if you could do me the favor.
Best wishes.
                                                          Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
