This phenomenon has raised considerable concern among parents and college faculties about living off campus, which is caused by the following reasons. To begin with, living conditions of an apartment off campus may be better than those of a dormitory. A rented apartment is often equipped with an independent washroom and a shower equipment which may be of great advantage over the school dormitory. In general, a typical dormitory often accomodates four or six, or even eight students and it is too crowded and noisy for those who prefer private space as well as quiet circumstances. In addition, instead of being regulated by dormitory rules, students may enjoy more freedom in a rented apartment. If college students intend to rent an apartment, I think they should give top priority to safety. It is important to make a survey of the surroundings first to ensure the security. Besides, when they tend to enjoy the freedom, they should have a better sense of self-control and make good use of their time.范文点评：作文是一篇涉及校外租房话题的论述文，考生需要根据所给大纲进行写作。本文语言规范、地道、结构清晰。作者首先指出了当下大学生校外租房的普遍性；第二段通过to begin with 和in addition的使用，清晰地列举出校外租房相对于住宿舍的优势：公寓房条件要比宿舍好，而且学生可以享有更多的自由。最后，作者给出了自己的建议，如果想要校外租房，首先要考虑的就是安全问题。Part Section A Understanding ConversationsDirections：In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

But whatever the reason, more Americans are growing some of their own food. Many need advice from experts like the master gardeners at the University of Maryland Extension service. The extension service has launched a campaign as a response to the huge new demand for information and help with home gardens. Master gardeners are helping less experienced people learn how to work the land. Food gardeners can join a network and put their garden on a map on the extension service web site. They aim to have one million food gardeners in Maryland to produce their own affordable healthy food. The current count of food gardeners is around 5,000 statewide. Nationally, sales of garden supplies increased last year as people started or expanded food gardens. Shannon Dill says the weak economy is not the only reason people are trying to grow their own food to save money. Prices for fruits and vegetables at the store are up. Shannon Dill finds that growing food at home usually costs less than buying it at stores or restaurants. She also finds that people seem to be staying home more, so they have more time to work in the garden. And, she says, People like to know where their food is coming from. But sometimes people choose the wrong plants for the local growing conditions. Or they plant at the wrong time. Or they plant seeds too close together or in poor soil or without enough daily sunlight.

More than 94 percent of the worlds people are not protected by laws against smoking, leaving them exposed to the biggest cause of preventable death, the World Health Organization said Wednesday. In a global tobacco epidemic report, the WHO said smoke-free policies were crucial to reducing the harm caused by second-hand smoke, which it said kills around 600,000 people each year and causes crippling, disfiguring illness and economic losses reaching tens of billions of dollars. Unless urgent action is taken to control the tobacco epidemic, the annual death toll could rise to 8 million by 2030, the WHO report said. However, a study by psychologists from the United States, Switzerland and Germany showed that warnings unrelated to death, such as Smoking makes you unattractive or Smoking brings you and the people around you severe damage, were more effective in changing smokers attitudes toward their habit. This was especially the case in people who smoked to boost their self-esteem, such as youths who took up the habit to impress or fit in with their peers, and others who thought smoking increased their social value, the researchers said. In general, when smokers are faced with death-related anti-smoking messages on cig
