Some of my roommates are very interested in them. They not only play games in their free time, but also keep talking about them at night when lights are off, and they regard games as part of life. Ive begged(乞求) them to give it up, but they wouldnt listen to me. It has become a rather big problem. Should I report it to our teachers or do something else? Ted Dear Ted: Drop it. Your roommates, as grown-ups, can do whatever they want with their time so long as it doesnt break school rules or violate(防碍) other peoples interests. Playing perhaps gives these students relaxation(放松) from hard study. If they play too often, have little time to study, and they will reap what they have sown, but you will not. Reporting to the teachers would only harm your good name in your dormitory(宿舍). However you have rights to ask your roommates to be quiet when you need sleep. If they arent angry with you, they will stop talking. But be polite and friendly. Perhaps, in return, join them in a game or two.31 . According to the first letter, many college students enjoy_.Aplaying computer gamesBsearching information on the InternetCsending e-mailsDbuying things online32 .

In the second letter, the underlined part(划线部分) means_.A自食其果B随心所欲地做事C回家种庄稼D逃避责任Teahouses in ChengduThere is a saying, “China has the best teahouses in the world and Chengdu has the best teahouses in China.”Chengdu has not only many teahouses but also the special ways of serving and drinking tea.As soon as the visitors enter the teahouses, the waiters or waitresses will greet them with teapots and cups in their hands. The cups often have special covers and saucers(茶碟). The covers can keep the water warm.People who go to the teahouses are not all thirsty. Retired(退休)people pay a little money to the teahouses and then sit there all day long to chat with others. Sometimes, people have parties in the teahouses. They eat fruit and sunflower seeds(瓜子)while they chat and return home when they are tired. Teahouses are also good places for people to talk about businesses. Some of the teahouses even have stages for performances, such as storytelling, cross talk and Sichuan Opera. Sometimes when people have a quarrel, a mediator(调解员)will bring them to the teahouse. After their problem is solved, the person who is wrong will pay for the tea. It is interesting that as soon as the quarrelers enter the teahouse and sit down to drink tea, they have almost calmed down. With the help of the mediator, their problems can be easily solved then. Maybe we can say the teahouses have some special social functions.36 .

They want to bring water into the deserts, so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time. Why is more and more land becoming desert? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth. Some places on the earth dont get much rain. But they still dont become deserts. This is because some plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants dont let the hot sun make the earth even drier. Plants dont let the wind blow the dirt away. When a little bit of rain falls, the plants hold the water. Without plants, the land can become a desert much more easily. 阅读短文回答问题。73 . What are scientists trying to do now?_74 . What happens to the earth?_75 . Why is more and more land becoming desert?_76 .
