【1】 It"s difficult enough to have privacy(隐私) in a house, so privacy in a small dorm room is next to impossible. However, it can be done if both roommates are willing to cooperate. 【2】 Step1 Tie a scarf to the outside doorknob as a symbol of Do Not Disturb, but be careful not to do this too consistently. Warn your roommate beforehand about possible days and times when this scarf will be on the door so your roommate will have time to make plans ahead of time instead of it being a surprise, especially if you plan to have an overnight guest. Be considerate if your roommate needs to get into the room regardless of the scarf on the door to get something out of the dorm because it is his dorm room too. 【3】 Step2 If one roommate is a light sleeper and the other is a heavy sleeper, the heavy sleeper could consider an alternate way to wake himself up besides an alarm. Heavy sleepers tend to ignore alarms, but sometimes vibrating (震动的) cell phones feel like someone is shaking them. It is also a quieter way to not disturb the light sleeping roommate using a vibrating cell phone. 【4】 Step3 Take cell phone calls outside of the room. Your roommate may not want to hear your conversation or you may want some privacy, but your roommate should not have to leave every time you have a phone call. The roommate who is not on the phone has no way of knowing how often you will have phone calls and should not be put out because you do. 【5】 Step4 Ask if it" s okay to have a guest in the room. Although your roommate is not your parent, and you may feel like this is your room too, remember that ____ . He may not want company when you do. If one roommate is more sociable than the other and guests become a repeated argument, consider asking the resident director if you can swap( 交换) roommate with someone else. 小题1:What does the passage mainly talk about? (no more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________ 小题2:Complete the following statement with proper words, (no more than 6 words) To avoid disturbing the light sleeper, _______________________ is also a good way. 小题3:Please fill in the blank in the passage with proper words, (no more than 6 words) _________________________________________________________________ 小题4:What does Step 3 suggest us?

(no more than 3 words) _______________________________________________ |

Rather than talk about how he feels, often a man would express his love by buying the woman cosmetics (化妆品), or bringing home a flower, or giving up the control of the remote (遥控器). And when men do talk, they’d prefer to talk about actions rather than emotions. For example, a lot of men would choose to express their long-range faith in a relationship by talking about next summer’s vacation plans, not by starting a conversation about undying love. Men just prefer to say their plans with plane tickets, rather than poetry. It’s one of the reasons why men are more comfortable talking at work (the practical world) than they are at home (the castle that emotion built). But you can bring out his great communicator by making him feel more like he’s operating in the work mode, even when the topic at hand is your love life. When men talk less and women want more, the conflict can escalate. Like when a policeman is questioning an unwilling witness, more silence equals more questions. A full 65 percent of men we surveyed recently told us that they don’t want their partners to ask them more questions about themselves. It’s clear that some men are just tired of feeling like they’re on the witness stand. They’re not necessarily hiding anything; many men simply prefer not to have to tell confusing feelings that they may not even understand themselves. An age-old method can make things better: back off a little, give him room to operate in a conversation, and he’s more likely to open up. 小题1:According to the author, men feel more comfortable when talking .A.actions | B.feelings | C.long-term friendship | D.conversations | 小题2:How can women communicate more successfully with men?A.They may give men a surprise by buying plane tickets. | B.They can ask men if they have a great time during working. | C.They might create a warm home environment first of all. | D.They can give men the feeling that they are talking at work. | 小题3:The underlined word “escalate” has the similar meaning to .A.decrease | B.disappear | C.change | D.increase | 小题4:From the text it can be inferred that .A.women are better at writing poems about emotions than men | B.it is natural for women to be fond of finding the faults of men | C.men are more interested in learning more about their partners | D.men prefer to pour out their hearts in a forgiving environment |

For those who are tired of doing the laundry, Samsung has found an answer: a washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app (application). Strange though it may seem — "my wife already does that" was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week — Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install a large number of internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them "smart". Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it"s Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad. The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owner is at work or on the bus. Samsung says it"s not just something new — the app connection actually has some practical uses. "If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go." said spokesperson Amy Schmidt. The company also says that with electricity rate (电价) varying depending on the time of day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money. Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do — enable laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV. 小题1: What can be inferred from the common response of the attendees at the CES?A.The machine will be a big success. | B.their wives like doing the laundry. | C.The machine is unrelated to their life. | D.This kind of technology is familiar to them. | 小题2:We can conclude from Samsung"s statements that ________.A.the app connection makes life easier | B.it is better to dry clothes in the morning | C.smartphone can shorten the drying time | D.we should refresh clothes back at home | 小题3:What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.The laundry should be frequently checked | B.Lazy people like using such machines | C.Good technologies also cause problems | D.Television may help do the laundry |
