Starting college can be a difficult experience. You have to deal with new responsibilities and growing independence, a challenging course load and, of course, the social scene. When a roommate is thrown into the mix, it may feel like you’re struggling with all that stuff while living in a small box with a stranger.
But having a roommate doesn’t need to be one more thing to worry about. When students go into their living situations with realistic expectations and a willingness to compromise, things can work out just fine.
When you first meet your roommate, chances are you’ll be on your best behaviour. You want to get along, since this is the person who’s going to be sharing your living space for the next year. But try to think ahead to potential (可能的) worst cases, too.
For example, imagine it’s 2 a.m. and you’re working on a paper that should be finished in 8 hours. Your roommate comes in from a party and wants to continue the party in your room.
At times like these, you won’t be feeling good. That’s why talking about problems that might come up ahead of time -- and respecting each other’s wishes when the time comes -- is so important.
Talk about the things that are really important to you, and make sure your roommate understands. Then encourage him or her to do the same.
For example, does it make you angry when people take things without asking first? Let your roommate know your feelings about these types of things from the start, so that both of you have a feel for each other’s likes, dislikes, and habits.
【小题1】The underlined word “compromise” in the second paragraph means “ ”.
| A．make a decision | B．lend a hand | C．come to terms | D．have a try |
| A．you are glad to share the room with him or her |
| B．you will live with him or her in the same room for some time |
| C．you will ask him or her for help in the future |
| D．strangers are very difficult to deal with |
| A．To stay silent when there are disagreements. |
| B．To spend more time doing things together with your roommate. |
| C．To have the same hobbies and living habits with your roommate. |
| D．To talk with your roommate in advance about possible future problems. |
| A．It is really a worrying thing to have a roommate. |
| B．It is difficult to get along well with a roommate. |
| C．It is your duty to help your roommate in his or her daily life. |
| D．It is very important for you and your roommate to understand each other. |

Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But, 50 , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often 51 the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business— 52 that the customer remains a customer.
53 to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing 54 , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.
Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the 55
implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big 56 in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to 57 increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.
In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and 58 never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in 59 profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).
The logic behind cultivating customer 60 is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to 61 them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits. 62 customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price 63 , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it 64 for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.
1.A. in particular B. in reality C. at least D. first of all
2.A. emphasize B. doubt C. overlook D. believe
3.A. denying B. ensuring C. arguing D. proving
4.A. Moving B. Hoping C. Starting D. Failing
5.A. markets B. tastes C. prices D. expenses
6.A. culture B. social C. financial D. economical
7.A. promise B. plan C. mistake D. difference
8.A. cost B. opportunity C. profit D. budget
9.A. as a result B. on the whole C. in conclusion D. on the contrary
10.A. huge B. potential C. extra D. reasonable
11.A. beliefs B. loyalty C. habits D. interest
12.A. altering B. understanding C. keeping D. attracting
