Passage 1: Read the passage and choose True or False for each statement.

HOW TO FIND THE PERFECT ROOMMATE

Seventy-five percent of university students in the US live away from home, and most of them live
off campus. Many share a house or apartment with other students. But how do you know who to
share with? It can be a difficult decision. Are you quiet, serious, shy, and hardworking? Or are you
outgoing, fun-loving, and noisy? It's an important difference, and it can make sharing an apartment
either a great experience or a nightmare.

So next time you're trying to decide who to live with, take this questionnaire. And then ask your
possible roommates to take it. If you give the same answers to four or more questions, then you'll be
fine. If more than three of your answers are different, then you need to find a new roommate!

 IN THE RIGHT PLACE … BUT AT THE WRONG TIME

Tim, 20, student from San Antonio, Texas:

When I was a teenager, I went on vacation with my parents to the Gulf Coast in Texas. My parents
rented a fabulous house on the beach, and the weather was great. But I was 17, and I didn't want to
be on vacation with my mom and dad and my little brother. I wanted to be with my friends. We
went to the beach every day and sunbathed, and we went to a fantastic seafood restaurant for my
birthday. But I was miserable and hated every minute of it. I didn't smile once in two weeks. What
really made me furious was that my parents let my older sister, who was 19, go to Mexico with her
friends.

Gabriela, 28, marketing manager from Rome, Italy:

I'm from Rome, and the summer here is really hot. So last year my husband and I decided to go to
Sweden, to escape from the heat. We booked a 10-day vacation in Stockholm, where the
temperature in the summer is normally about 20 degrees centigrade. But when we got to Stockholm,
there was a heat wave, and it was 35°C every day. It was awful because there was no
air-conditioning anywhere. We couldn't sleep at night — it was boiling in the hotel, and in the stores
and museums, too. We didn't want to go shopping or go sightseeing or do anything. We were too
hot. We just sat in cafes and argued all day. We didn't need to go to Sweden to do that.

Kelly, 26, TV journalist from Ottawa, Canada:

Three years ago I broke up with my boyfriend, and I decided to go on vacation by myself to the
Seychelles. My travel agent told me that it was a wonderful place. But he didn't tell me it was also a
very popular place for people on their honeymoon. Everywhere I looked, I saw couples holding
hands and looking romantically into each other's eyes! The travel agent also said it was always
sunny there - but the weather was terrible - it was cloudy and windy. To pass the time, I decided to
take a diving course (one of my lifetime ambitions). But it was a complete disaster because the first
time I went under the water, I had a panic attack. I couldn't escape from the island, so I spent an
incredibly boring (and expensive) two weeks in "paradise."
