8.Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or,easily,one of the worst.Whether you've decided to room with a friend or a total stranger,the rules are still the same.If you want to have a good relationship with your roommate,it all starts with you.
   Follow the four tips to avoid the common mistakes that turn good roommate relationships sour:
   You've heard it before: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.This method creates nothing but awkward situations and general unhappiness.
   Some roommates become the best of friends,and some don't.Don't put pressure on yourself or your roommate to reach this level,especially when you first meet.Remember,you'v e trying to make a new friend,not scare your roommate away.And if your roommate doesn't end up being your best friend,don't worry about it.My first-year roommate and I didn't end up becoming best friends,but we are friends---and I couldn't have been happier with my roommate situation.
  Everyone hates dirty places.If you make a mess,don't leave it for someone else to clean up.This should go without saying.Don't be a slob (懒汉).Make sure you do your fair share of dormitory chores,such as taking out the trash and recycling,and cleaning the washroom.Or,at last,just don't bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage and you should be all right.Most people I've encountered(遭遇)in college are messy.You don't have all the time in the world to clean your room and keep it organized.But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid conflict.
   If you want to lose a friend,borrow everything without asking.If you want to keep the relationship going,show you roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first.Even if you both agree to share everything,you should still ask whenever you want to reach for snacks,clothes,supplies and anything else that you don't own.An d upon moving into the dorm,you need to make clear which items you both feel comfortable sharing.
   If you want a good roommate,you have to be a good roommate,Yes,there are exceptions.Sometimes being a good person and reaching out to your roommate simply isn't enough.Sometimes you get stuck with someone who has tons of negative energy or just isn't happy and doesn't want any sort of relationship.Whatever the case may be,the name of the game is always the same:respect.If you can't give it,you definitely don't deserve to get it.
Four (66)Tips/Suggestions/Waysto Be a Great Roommate
Dormitory life is a usually one of the most cherished parts of one's time at college.Get ready to avoid the common mistakes.
Have a friendly conversationInstead of burying your feelings or  (67)complainingabout each other,you'd better communicate with your roommate frankly to get along well with each other.
Don't expect the roommates to be your best friends.Sharing the same dorm doesn't necessarily mean you have to be best friends for each other,but it's better to make a friend than an enemy to experience college (68)happily/positively/smoothly
Clean up after yourself.Or,at least,keep your mess on your side.It is believed that in a shared space,all roommates should help in keeping the room tidy instead of putting the burden on just one while the others do whatever they want.
Never take anything( 69)withoutasking.To keep belongings safe and avoid fighting late,let each other know in a polite way if you have to share the other's items.This rule applies to any situation.
If your work fails to win you a good roommate and you get stuck with someone who doesn't appreciate your kindness,it is not the end of the world.No matter what happens,showing (70)respectalways make sense.

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?这篇文章来给你支招.

解答 66.Tips/Suggestions/Ways;67  complaining;68  happily/positively/smoothly; 69  without;70.respect.
66.Tips/Suggestions/Ways   根据文章第二段段首的"Follow the four tips to…"可知,这个表格是总结了四条成为一名好室友的"小技巧"或者"建议""方式"等.
67  complaining  根据第三段中出现的"instead of talking to each other,the two start complaining about their roommates"可以得到此空的信息,而且空后的介词是 about,此处应该是说不要掩饰自己的感受或者"抱怨".
68  happily/positively/smoothly  根据第四段末 尾处的"but we are friends-and I couldn't have been happier with my roommate situation"以及空格所在之处可知,这里需要一个副词来修饰动词 experience而且应该是表示开心,积极,顺利的意思.
69  without  第六段段首"If you want to lose a friend,borrow everything without asking."的意思就是说"不要不经允许拿别人的东西".
70.respect.根据第七段中的"the name of the game is always the same:respect."可知这里是说不管发生什么,"尊重"他人总是对的.

20.Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom?Or in a waiting room full of strangers?Or on a bus?Researchers have found out some interesting facts.
(36)DGirls sit by girls and boys sit by boys.Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near.But it goes further than this.(37)E Peple with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses.People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.
We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even,we think we may be safer with people who look like us.Sometimes that's true but it's a pity if we always stick to the same people,the same group.The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions,the same tastes and the same ideas.(38)G.
When we always stick to the same people,how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas?And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知),which too often leads to prejudice (偏见) and even fear?If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions,(39)B.

B.Be the cat among the pigeons.
C.Discover differences among yourselves.
D.Perhaps unsurprisingly,we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves.

7.Have you experienced the moments when your little baby cried at the top of his or her voice and it seemed that he or she wanted something or something was wrong with him or her,but you weren't able to understand what the baby needed in fact?Don't worry.In fact,baby sign language can help you communicate with your little baby.
Baby sign language can be considered as a kind of language,through which parents and caregivers can talk to baby.It is a way of expressing ideas and feelings using movements or sound.
It's better to begin with some simple signs to teach a baby.Show the sign in front of your baby as you say the word.Look into your baby's eyes while showing the sign.Point at the object you're talking about when teaching your baby.Besides,teach your baby the sign,as much as possible in everyday life after teaching your baby the signs.Only when you use them often will your baby master baby language quickly.
Research has found that babies who were taught sign language when they were very little develop language skills faster than those who grew up without being taught.That is because when your teach your baby to use sign language,you also have to speak the particular word.When you do this regularly,the child is likely to pick up those words quickly,thus leading to overall apeech development.A baby who learns baby language is able to communicate with his or her parents or caregivers and when its need is met,he or she'll feel happy and pleased.Babies who know sign language may have higher IQ than children who learn language in the natural way.And it can help improve the memory of the baby.
