The
Benefits
of
Living
with
a
Roommate
Many
of
us
live
with
a
roommate
at
some
stage.
Sometimes,
there
can
be
problems.
Who
hasn't
had
an
argument
about
whose
turn
it
is
to
take
out
the
rubbish
or
who
should
be
the
one
to
clear
up
after
dinner?
However,
living
with
another
person
also
comes
with
many
benefits.
You
know
that
there's
always
someone
else
around,
which
can
help
you
feel
safer.
There
is
always
someone
to
talk
to,
so
you
never
feel
lonely.
Besides
these
obvious
benefits,
there
are
some
you
may
not
notice.
For
example,
we're
actually
more
likely
to
eat
healthier
food
when
living
with
others.
To
examine
the
effect
of
living
alone,
Australian
university
researchers
did
much
research
and
found
that
people
living
alone
tended
to
eat
less
fresh
food,
which
can
have
a
significant
negative
effect
on
long-term
health.
However,
those
living
with
others
generally
benefited
from
a
more
varied
diet
compared
to
those
living
alone.
What
could
explain
these
findings?
The
researchers
believe
the
social
and
cultural
roles
played
by
cooking,
food
preparation
and
eating
may
be
important
considerations.
For
example,
those
living
with
friends
have
someone
else
to
go
shopping
with,
and
thus
are
likely
to
buy
high-quality
fresh
food
regularly.
Cooking
skills
may
be
another
factor.
If
people
living
alone
find
they
do
not
have
the
knowledge
required
to
prepare
a
particular
dish
or
cook
a
certain
food,
they
may
fall
back
on
ready-made,
less
healthy
food.
However,
if
they
live
with
at
least
one
other
person,
they
may
be
able
to
ask
for
help.
In
addition,
people
living
alone
can
eat
whatever
they
want
at
any
time
of
the
day
or
night.
However,
it's
helpful
to
have
someone
around
who
questions
your
decision
to
eat
a
frozen
pizza
at
3
am.
In
other
words,
roommates
can
draw
your
attention
to
unhealthy
routines.
So,
if
you
now
live
alone
and
find
yourself
fighting
a
losing
battle
against
poor
eating
habits,
why
not
consider
sharing
a
home
with
someone
else?
You
could
encourage
one
another
on
to
greater
health
and
well-being.

我们很多人都有过和室友同住的经历。这有时候可能会产生问题。有谁没和室友争论过该轮到谁倒垃圾，或者晚饭后该谁收拾的问题呢？然而，和另外一个人住在一起也有很多好处。你知道身边总有人在，这会让你感到更安全。总有人可以和你说话，所以你绝不会感到孤独。除了这些明显的好处，还有一些你可能没有注意到。

例如，当我们和别人住在一起的时候，我们实际上更有可能吃更健康的食物。

为了研究独居的影响，澳大利亚大学的研究人员做了很多研究，他们发现，独居的人往往会吃不那么新鲜的食物，这对长期的健康有显著的负面影响。他们发现，独居的人往往会吃不那么新鲜的食物，这对长期的健康有显著的负面影响。然而，与独居的人相比，与他人一起生活的人通常会受益于多样化的饮食。

如何解释这些发现呢？研究人员认为，烹饪、食物准备和用餐所扮演的社会和文化角色可能是重要的考虑因素。例如，那些和朋友同住的人会有人陪他们一起去购物，因此很可能会经常购买高质量的新鲜食品。厨艺可能是另一个因素。
If

如果独居的人发现他们不知道如何准备一道菜或烹饪某种食物，那他们可能会转而依靠现成而不太健康的食物。然而，如果他们有至少另外一个人同住，他们则有可能寻求帮助。此外，独居的人可以在白天或晚上的任何时候想吃什么就吃什么。

然而，如果有人在你身边质疑你凌晨3点吃冷冻披萨的决定，这对你是很有帮助的。换句话说，室友会使你注意到不健康的生活习惯。所以，如果你现在一个人住，发现自己正在和不良的饮食习惯做着必败的斗争，为什么不考虑和别人合住呢？你们可以互相鼓励，增进健康和提升幸福感。

根据题意，找到文章前三段内容。在前两段中，作者讲了和室友一起居住会出现问题。但第三段出现转折，作者提到，和别人一起住也是有好处的（comes
with
many
benefits）。后面的文章内容都是对好处的详细解释。
因此，前三段的作用主要是引出文章话题。
本题答案选A:
introduce
the
topic
of
the
text。
2.

习题答疑
If
people
living
alone
find
they
do
not
have
the
knowledge
required
to
prepare
a
particular
dish
or
cook
a
certain
food,
they
may
fall
back

ready-made,
less
healthy
food.
However,
if
they
live
with
at
least
one
other
person,
they
may
be
able
to
ask
for
help.
这是一道猜词题。要解决猜词题，往往可以从上下文提供的线索入手。
根据题干关键词“fall
back
on”，将答案来源定位到上面两段。在第二段中，文章讲到，如果你与其他人一起住，你会在不知道做某道菜的时候寻求帮助。
副词“However”十分关键，它表明前后两种情况是对比的关系。由此推测，当你一个人居住时，如果不知道做某道菜，你就会选择一些现成的、不太健康的食物（ready-made,
less
healthy
food）。
由此可见，本题答案选C:
choose。
3.

C
A.
To

why

B.
To

readers
every

C.
To

D.

习题答疑
本题考查对主旨大意的把握。
文章主要介绍了和室友一起生活的好处，再加上文章倒数第二段话中的“why
not
consider
sharing
a
home
with
someone
else?”可知，作者写这篇文章的意图就是鼓励大家找个室友一起生活。
因此，本题答案选C:
To
encourage
people
to
have
a
roommate。
