Four Ways to Be a Great Roommate

Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or, easily, one of the worst.

【1】 Follow these tips to avoid the common mistakes that turn good roommate relationships sour.

◇Talk things out.

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. 【2】

◇Don't expect to be best friends.

Some roommates become the best of friends, and some don't. Don't put pressure on yourself or your roommate, especially when you first meet. 【3】 And if your roommate doesn't end up being your best friend, don't worry.

◇Ask before you take.

This applies to food, clothes and anything else. If you want to keep a relationship going, show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first. 【4】

◇Clean up after yourself.

This should do without saying. Don't be lazy. Or, at least, don't bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage. Most people I've come across in college are messy. 【5】 But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid conflict.

A. So you need to think twice before you help your roommates out.

B. This creates nothing but awkward situations and unhappiness.

C. Even if you both agree to share everything, you should still ask.

D. You don't have all the time to clean your room and keep it organized.

E. It all starts with you to have a good relationship with your roommate.

F. Sometime you get stuck with someone who has tons of negative energy.

G. Remember, you're trying to make a new friend, not to scare your roommate away.

【解析】

試題分析：有一幫好室友是最好不過的了，但是如果和宿舍里的同伴處不好，那就再糟糕不過了，怎么才能和室友處好關(guān)系呢？本文給出了一些和舍友相處的好建議。

【1】E根據(jù)上文的Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or, easily, one of the worst可知，有個室友可能是大學最棒的經(jīng)歷也有可能是最糟糕的經(jīng)歷，故選擇E，意為：這一切要看你怎么開始和室友保持友好關(guān)系。

【2】B根據(jù)橫線前一句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.可知選擇B，指的是如果互相在背后指責對方的話，那么這只會是你們越來越難堪、不開心。

【3】G根據(jù)上文的Don't put pressure on yourself or your roommate,especially when you first meet.可知，第一次見面時，不一定就要成為好朋友，不要給雙方太多壓力，故選擇G，意為：你是在交朋友不要把室友嚇跑。

【4】C根據(jù)橫線前一句If you want to keep a relationship going, show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first.可知，一定要尊重對方，拿別人東西時一定要詢問，故選擇C，意為即便你們已同意分享一切，也要先詢問。

【5】D根據(jù)下文的But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid conflict.指的是但是，要把自己的物品放好，故選擇D，意為你不需要一直打掃房間使得房間井井有條。這樣才能和下文的but構(gòu)成一致。
