in some cases, it can be a good thing if you and your roommates arent much alike. different views on things may be helpful, so respect your differences no matter what. if you and your roommates dont get along well, it can help to find someone who you feel does understand you, which should be easy on a campus with so many people. many schools have student organization nights where all of the campus clubs gather and promote their organizations, so you can meet people with the same interests there as you. youll also meet tons of people in class or in your dorm building. as homesickness, painful throats, sprained (扭伤的) ankles and wisdom teeth that act up are common among college students, you should check out your student guidebook or your schools website to find out information about the university health center. if you think you cannot deal with your problems, make a stop at the school counseling (咨询)center. first-year troubles are something the counselors know well. you can get help there.55. from paragraph 1 we can infer that _. a. katie had been worried about the changes before starting her college life. b. katie felt satisfied when her college life started. c. katie wasnt used to the new environment in college at first. d. katie has fallen behind in her study after the first semester in college.56. which of the following ways of dealing with roommates is right? a. not trying to change them. b. avoid making friends with them. c. developing the same interest as them. d. not talking with them.57. from the passage, we can know that_ a. its easy for the first-year students to adapt to the college life. b. first-year students can get along well with roommates quickly. c. the university center can only help the first-year students solve problems. d. the school counseling center is familiar with the problems the first-year students face.c europe is now the biggest market for organic food in the world, having grown by 25 percent a year over the past 10 years. denmarks agriculture minister is herself an organic farmer. the uk market for organic food grew by 55 percent in 2000, while the food market as a whole grew by only one percent. yet only seven percent of british shoppers account for nearly 60 percent of organic sales. however popular the idea of organic farming may be, it is still an interest for only a few people. so what makes the idea of organic farming popular? organic farming means farming with natural materials, rather than with man-made fertilizers or pesticides(杀虫剂). organic farmers rely on many methods such as crop rotation (农作物的轮作) and the use of resistant（有抵抗力的）varieties, because they are necessary for organic farmers to compensate for the shortage of man-made chemicals. organic farming is often supposed to be safer than traditional farming for the environment. yet after a long research on organic farming worldwide for a number of years, science continues to be against this opinion. the house of commons committee on agriculture stated that, even with complete research work, it would fail to find any scientific evidence to prove “that any of claims made for organic farming is always true”. however, the talk about the benefits of organic farming is going on. this is partly because many people depend on their individual farm, the soil, the weather, and so on. 58. the first paragraph mainly tells us _. a. organic farming has been performed only in europe over the past 10 years. b. governments of european countries have cared less about organic farming. c. organic farming isnt so popular as expected. d. european countries need organic food more than the other countries in the world.59. the underlined words “compensate for” in the second paragraph probably mean “_”. a. argue for b. care for c. make up for d. pay for60. what can we know about organic farming? a. it refers to farming with natural materials, instead of chemical fertilizers. b. it refers to farming with chemical fertilizers rather than natural fertilizers. c. it refers to farming with soil rather than any other thing. d. it refers to growing crops with man-made fertilizers and pesticides.61. according to the third paragraph, _. a. organic farming is safer than traditional farming for the environment. b. the idea that organic farming is safer has not been proven by science. c. organic farming is accepted by the uks house of commons committee. d. organic farming is preferred to traditional farming.dwhile most of us have dogs and cats as pets, many people are beginning to have lions, tigers, and bears as their best. whats more, some people even own deer, kangaroos, snakes, you name it.some people think they do it to help protect the animals, many species of which are threatened or endangered. in many cases there are no laws against owning these kinds of animals. and its not as hard as it used to be to buy exotic（异国的）pets thanks to the internet. the owners often truly love these animals but its very hard to care properly for them, and the cost is also high. worse still, they can carry diseases. and they are dangerous not only for the owner but also for neighbors and the public as well.“it may be easy to buy an exotic animal, but it is not a good idea. it is bad for the animals, bad for us and bad for the environment,” say those who are against owning wild and exotic animals. they believe that wild animals need to remain wild. that means they should live in their natural habitats, eat specific kinds of food, behave in the way theyre supposed to, and be with animals of their own kind. owning them privately actually harms them. they have needs that are very different from dogs and cats. the more theyre kept with other captive（捕获的）animals, the more they change genetically over time, becoming different from the species they once were.dogs and cats h
