    Do you drink water that's been left sitting out overnight or even for another day? Have you noticed it tastes different?

    Tap water that has been left to sit out slowly begins to acquire an off taste. Many people think that this is because of microorganisms(微生物). But that's not what makes old water taste not fresh. For that we can thank carbon dioxide. After about 12 hours, tap water starts to go flat as carbon dioxide in the air starts to mix with the water in the glass, lowering its pH and giving it an off taste. But it's most likely safe to drink.

    However, back to those microorganisms. If you use a dirty glass day after day, there is more of a chance of bacteria making themselves known; a risk that increases if you share the glass with another mouth as well. But assuming you use a fresh glass every few days, you probably won't have a problem unless the glass has been touched by dirty fingers, and especially if those dirty fingers went unwashed after using the bathroom.

    As for plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car, step away from the bottle, warns Dr. Kellogg Schwab, director of the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute. "A chemical called bisphenol-A, or BPA, along with other things used to make plastic can leach(过滤) into your water if the bottle heats up or sits in the sun," he explains. BPA, as you probably know, has been linked to everything from heart disease to cancer.Schwab also adds that plastic used for commercial bottled water isn't meant to be washed or refilled, so use only one time and recycle. Or don't buy them at all; use refillable water bottles instead.

    1.Tap water begin to acquire an off taste because of .

    A. BPA B. the glass

    C. the microorganism D. carbon dioxide

    2. According to Paragragh 2 , tap water that's been left sitting out for 12 hours____.

    A. tastes better B. is still safe to drink

    C. contains few microorganisms D. is most likely undrinkable

    3. What should we do with plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car?

    A. Throw them away. B. Refill them with fresh water.

    C. Use them after they cool down. D. Clean them and use them again.

    4.Which of the following is true about BPA?

    A. It is safe for people to use.

    B. It is a kind of new material.

    C. It can cause great harm to people.

    D. It is the main material to make plastic.

    Every scientific field uses the scientific method to conduct experiments. Performing experiments is very important in the field of psychology （心理学）. Before beginning a study, however, any scientist who wishes to perform an experiment should be familiar with the steps of the scientific method. 1.

    ◆ Form a hypothesis （假设）. It is an educated guess about what will happen during the study. 2. Coming up with a hypothesis before you start can help guide your experiment.

    ◆ Plan out a study. Planning out the experiment is essential because the psychologist needs to know if they have time, materials, and testing area prepared beforehand. This step also helps the scientist to determine if they will be performing descriptive or experimental research. The ideal situation is to always perform experimental research. 3. Descriptive research simply collects data regarding the problem and forms a hypothesis according to the data.

    ◆ Collect data. 4. If the data collected is not recorded and organized, the entire efforts of the study may be wasted. The best way to do this may be to record the proceedings so that no details are lost.

    ◆ Analyze the data. Once all the data has been collected and organized, it must be analyzed. Using previous research or scientific information about the problem, the psychologist must apply the new data gathered.

    ◆ Publish the information learned. The final step of the scientific method in psychology is publishing the results of the study. 5. Most psychological experiments are published in scientific journals.

    A. It is based on scientific facts, not just opinions.

    B. Read on to find out how to use the scientific method in psychology.

    C. Before psychologists start the experiment, they must plan out the steps.

    D. This helps other psychologists to learn about and use the new information.

    E. The scientific method has proved to be an effective way to conduct research.

    F. To fully understand the study, each part of the experiment must be recorded.

    G. Sometimes, however, this is impossible and descriptive research will have to be used.

    Two days ago I was woken up at 1 am. My roommate stood at the door (she was returning from a club) along with a huge middle-aged man with long hair. “Please let him in,” she told me, “He has been locked out of his apartment.” She had seen him, cold and shivering (it had snowed the previous night) and immediately asked him to sleep at our place. He was a law student in his fifties who had been doing his homework at the Laundromat (自助洗衣店) when he found he had left his keys in his house.

    I have never had a strange man sleep in my house before. My roommate and I are both less than 5 feet and we have been asked not to speak to strangers since we were kids. Not to mention that we’re in a new city that we have lived in for less than a month. He accepted our kindness with hesitation and as soon as dawn broke he left.

    The next day he came to our house, saying he owed us big time for not being frozen out in the cold. He left us a beautiful card saying—“Thank you so much. Your actions are so sincere.”

    Later he cooked us a wonderful simple “thank you” dinner over which he told us about his life (a coach, a guide, a law student). He told us how he was completely touched by our concern for a total stranger. I learnt a lot that evening. As he talked about how once he brought a homeless man in to eat Christmas dinner with his family, I was deeply touched.

    My roommate taught me a huge lesson: Let go of your fear; always leave the door of compassion (同情) open and you can never go wrong.

    1.From the first paragraph we can infer that _______.

    A. the writer came back from a club earlier

    B. the writer’s roommate was kind-hearted

    C. the writer’s roommate often came back late

    D. the man wanted to find a job at the Laundromat

    2.When the writer knew the man would stay in their house for the night, at first _______.

    A. she felt nervous B. she was angry

    C. she felt excited D. she was disappointed

    3.The next day the man went back to the writer’s house to ______.

    A. tell them he was OK B. give them nice cards

    C. show his thanks to them D. show he was really lucky

    4.What can we learn from the passage?

    A. The writer’s roommate worked in a club.

    B. The man had helped others before.

    C. The man was a complete failure in his life.

    D. The two women have lived in this city since they were young.

    Living with other students can be a wonderful experience. Here are a few tips for student accommodations that can help ensure a great experience and build lifelong friendships: Screen your roommates carefully if you are given a choice. Combining the living spaces of several students into one location can be exciting and rewarding experience for the outgoing students. If you are on the shy side, or prefer a quiet group to study with, pick quieter roommates.

    Carry your part of the load. Everyone has to clean the bathroom and the kitchen sometime. Don’t avoid your part of responsibility. Student accommodations can get messy and it involves everyone to keep them tidy and healthy.

    Think about someone else before you think about yourself. Put your roommates interests above your own. Life will be far enjoyable when everyone is concerned about the feelings property and studies of each other.

    Be open and honest. Hostilities (敌意) and frustrations may cause problems that can’t be fixed. Everyone brings different standards and expectations to group living and it’s in everyone’s best interest to put them into the open. Disagreements can be managed more warmly when your are willing to be both open and listen to others.

    1. When it comes to the bills, every member is advised to________ .

    A. foot the bill for a fellow student

    B. let his/her part of the finances slide

    C. pay his/her own share of money

    D. take more responsibility than others

    2.The role “carry your part of the load” means every room member should ________.

    A. avoid making too much noise

    B. take turns to keep the room tidy

    C. take care of others when they are ill

    D. avoid staying up and oversleeping

    3.To be a good member, one should learn to ________ according to the passage.

    A. choose his/her roommates at random

    B. balance his/her interests with others

    C. express his/her disagreement openly and honestly
