However, roommates living together under the same roof for a long time unavoidably conflict with each other.【1】To prevent this from happening to you, each conflict should be addressed in a productive, healthy way.1. Set a time for discussion.Once conflicts occur, you need to set up a time to discuss the conflict.【2】They may think about any problems they want to discuss. It also allows for a better discussion as the both roommates will most likely enter the discussion fairly calm.2. Make rules for discussionBefore discussing the actual conflicts, set up some rules to guide the discussion.

Making rules beforehand can prevent a screaming match from breaking out.【3】3.【4】You can use your discussion to point out to your roommates their great traits and specific things you like about them. While this won’t solve the conflict, it can help your roommates be more understanding of your point of view and more willing to compromise.4.

【答案】

【1】E

【2】D

【3】G

【4】B

【5】F

【解析】試題分析：同住一個屋檐下很久的室友難免互相發(fā)生沖突，沖突如果不好好解決就會釀成災(zāi)難。為了阻止這種事情在你身上發(fā)生，每一個沖突都應(yīng)該以一種有效的、健康的方式解決。本文列舉了四種解決方法。

【1】E 根據(jù)上句：同住一個屋檐下很久的室友難免互相發(fā)生沖突。再根據(jù)空格下句：為了阻止這種事情在你身上發(fā)生，每一個沖突都應(yīng)該以一種有效的、健康的方式解決�？芍�空格處表達的意思是：當一個沖突從來不會得到解決時，災(zāi)難會降臨。故選E。

【2】D 根據(jù)上句：一旦沖突發(fā)生，你需要安排一個討論沖突的時間。再根據(jù)空格下句：他們可能會考慮他們想討論的任何問題�？芍�空格處的意思是：這為雙方提供了一個準備的機會。故選D。

【3】G 根據(jù)上句：事先制定規(guī)則可以防止尖叫比賽的爆發(fā)。可知此空要表達的是：這是因為雙方都知道他們將有機會發(fā)言。故選G。

【4】B 此題是小標題。根據(jù)此段第一句：你可以用你的討論，指出你的室友他們的偉大的特點和你喜歡他們的具體的事情�？芍�B. Point out good things about roommates

（指出室友好的方面。）符合題意。

【5】F 根據(jù)空格上文：這個協(xié)議應(yīng)該討論規(guī)則是什么，還有違背規(guī)則存在什么樣的結(jié)果。隨后下文舉了一個違背規(guī)則的例子。因此可知F. A consequence may be that the violator(違反者)pays $ 5 for breaking the rules（結(jié)果可能是違法者為違反規(guī)則支付5美元。）符合題意。
