下周当我结束我的期末考试时，我也将完成我一生中最美好的经历之一。

在过去的四个月里！在来美国之前，我对外国文化的了解比我想象的要

多。

在异国生活，和来自世界各地的人一起上学，让我有机会接触和交流来自

不同文化的人。我想和大家分享一下我的一些经验和想法。

当我刚到的时候。我一个人都不认识，我需要用所有的手指来用英语交

流。所有的外国学生都处在同样的情

况下。当我们找不到合适的词时•，我们就用奇怪的动作和手势来表达我们

的意思。了解一些常用短语。比如“你好吗?''谢谢你！"你来自哪个国家?”

这句话在一开始就足以让我们成为朋

友。宿舍的电视室成了我们每天晚饭后见面的地方。但在大多数情况下，

他们的话对我们来说只是奇怪的喃喃自

语。

过了一会儿，我们感到无聊，有点伤感，慢慢地开始消失在我们的房间

里。我想我们都有点想家了。然而，尽管我的孤独。我内心有一种很好的

感觉，因为我在做我多年来想做的事情，在一个外国生活和学习。

是你一生中最美好的经历。为什么？答案很简单:室友。我们经常听到这样

的故事:有不睡觉的男生，有经常邀请朋友来家里玩的女生，还有一直在

学习的女生，你的一举一动都会让她感到不安。好吧，他们没那么糟糕。

那你要怎么让他们停下来？你做不到。这是不可能的。你能和室友住在一

起的唯一方法就是妥协。如果你喜欢请朋友来家里玩，但你的

室友却想学习，那就带你的朋友出去玩。如果你不喜欢在学习的时候听音

乐，但你的室友喜欢，让他用旧的耳

机。谈谈你的习惯，问问你的室友他们的习惯。尊重你的室友，你的室友

也会尊重你。你可能在年底和室友还不是朋友，但在你们不再住在一起的

一年后，你可能和他们还是朋友。这是可以的。

有时既要生活在一起又要成为好朋友太难了。室友并不总是你最好的朋

动物的身体很可能与某种机器，如火车头相比较。事实上，动物的身体就

是一台机器。它是一种由许多部件

组成的机器，这些部件做着某种特殊的工作，而这种特殊的结构又适合于

它。所有的部件相互依赖，共同工作，以完成机器的全部工作。机车必须

配备燃料，如煤、木头或其他可燃物

质，这些燃料的消耗为机器提供动力或能量。动物的身体必须提供燃料，

这被称为食物，这同样提供了动物的能

量。

火车头的燃料和人体内的食物的燃烧都必须提供氧气。机车由特殊部件组

成:用于储存和燃烧燃料的火箱;用于运送蒸汽的蒸汽管道;用于移动的轮子;

排泄废物的烟囱。同样，动物的身体也由这样一些部分组成，如储存和消
