Several recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地)
assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also
to a greater likelihood (可能性) of conflict. Recent reports found
that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and
compel students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.
An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with
a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers.
Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure. In a
New York Times article, Sam Boakye - the only black student on his freshman year
floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."
Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students
in residences. According to two recent studies, randomly
assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so
strained that one roommate will move out. An Indiana University
study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white
roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.
Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the
findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have
interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.
At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for
housing. "One of the great things about freshman housing is
that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said
Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of
integration." "I've experienced roommate conflicts between
interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforced
stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA.. The RA of two years added
that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding
(融合), there were also "jarring cultural confrontations." The RA
said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same
race. Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations
based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of
the students need to be studied and explained.

填空题 Directions: There are 2 passages in this
section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.
For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide
on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a
single line through the centre.You never see him, but they're with you
every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you're traveling
and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability
to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic
book. They're known as the black box. When planes fall from the
sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean
June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So
when a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the device's homing signal five days
later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a
tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed. In 1958,
Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would
track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for
a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960.
Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device
was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane–the area least
subject to impact–from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The
same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were
never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.
Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks
pilots' conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels,
engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct
the aircraft's final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded
by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand
massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When submerged, they're also able
to emit signals from depths of 20,000 it. Experts believe the boxes from Air
France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly
that deep, but statistics say they're still likely to turn up. In the
approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane's black
boxes were never recovered.

填空题The business memo(备忘录) is probably the most frequently used communication within a company. It is called an intra-company communication because it is used by people in their own company or organization. They change to letters, however, when they write messages to people who do not work for their company. A memo creates a written record that may or may not be filed, depending on the receiver and the subject. As you know, spoken messages may be misunderstood or forgotten. A memo, however, becomes a record that does much to ensure the complete communication between the sender and the receiver. The standard form of a memo frequently carries a pre-printed series of items: To, From, Date, and Subject. The first two items include the names of the receiver and the sender. A well-written subject line tells the reader the key topic or topics the memo is about.

填空题Almost all of us thought his explanation was ______ (necessary) complex.
填空题There are two reasons why demand is related to price. For one thing, if your income stays the same, you can afford to buy more when the price is low. Secondly, records, for instance, are more attractive when their price is lower than the price of similar products. If records are less expensive than cassettes, you may choose to spend your money on records.
In reality, the demand for a product is not always the same. It changes under different conditions. For example, taste may change. You may decide that you prefer cassettes because records are inconvenient. Consequently, you will buy fewer records at both high and low prices. Demand may also change as a result of changes in the prices of other products. For instance, the price of records stays the same, but the price of cassettes falls. Therefore, you buy more cassettes and fewer records. Or, income may change. Due to an increase in income, you can afford more records whether the price is high or low.
