Housing policies differ from school to school．Students might be able to choose whatever housing they can find．Or they might have to live in a dormitory（寝室），at least for the first year．

Dorms come in all sizes．A building may house a small number of students or many hundreds．Some have suites．Each suite has several bedrooms，a common living area and a bathroom．Six or more students may live in one suite．Other dorms have many rooms along a common hallway，usually with two students in each room．

Many students say dormitories provide the best chance to get to know other students．Also，dorms generally cost less than apartments or other housing not owned by the school．

Most colleges and universities offer single­sex dorms，but usually males and females live in the same building．They might live on the same floors and share the same common bathrooms．But，in most cases，they may live in the same room only if they are married．

At many schools，male students can join fraternities (联谊会，兄弟会) and females can join sororities (女生联谊会，姊妹会)．These are mainly social organizations but members may also be able to live in their fraternity or sorority house．

Edward Spencer is the associate vice­president（副主席） for student affairs at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg．He says it is important to understand the rules of the building in which you will live．

He advises students to ask questions before they decide about their housing．For example：If a student requires a special diet，will the school provide for it?

Virginia Tech，for example，had a ban against candles in dorms．But it changed that policy to let students light candles for religious purposes．

At the age of sixteen, I joined a volunteer group with my dad. I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that “our family” was living in a trailer(拖车) that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced.

We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house – something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.

On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, "What do you want for your new room?" Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were surprised when Josh responded, "I just want a bed."

The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.

When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.

That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds tog tether, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.

As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, "What is that?"

    "A pillow," she replied.

    "What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask.

    "When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.

    "Oh . . . that's soft," he said, hugging it tightly.

Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my Dad gently asks, "Do you have a pillow?"

We know exactly what he means.

The writer’s first volunteer project was         .

      A．working on a poor trailer       B．helping a poor family

       C．donating beds and bedding      D．dealing with a housing problem

On bearing Josh’s answer, the writer was shocked because         .

       A．the family lived in a trailer     B．he expected to get some toys

       C．he didn’t know what a bed was      D．the boys had no bed to sleep in

From the passage, we can learn that Eric had never seen       before.

       A．a trailer    B．a truck      C．a pillow    D．a house

By saying “Do you have a pillow?”, the writer’s father means that        .

      A．what they want to get may be unnecessary

       B．they should not waste money on small things

       C．they should do more volunteer work for the poor

       D．what he will buy is not what they want but a pillow
