5. Bgklg2fz Housing Situation in America Food and Drink in the United States

6. Bgklg2qz1 Housing has been the biggest bill for a family in these days. Every year the price to rent a single apartment rises. The landlords have to keep raising the cost in order to pay the taxes and mortgage that are imposed on them. Failing to meet their obligations will result in the loss of their buildings. People in necessity can not rent these apartments because they do not have a good income. The price to rent an apartment in most cities now reaches 600 hundred dollars every month with only one bedroom. Families that can not afford an apartment by themselves sometimes share with cousins, brothers, aunts, and uncles. It is not unusual to see more than ten people living in a small room together. At night two or three people may sleep in one bed. Those who do not have a bed sleep on sofa or on the floor. When all these people sleep together, they do not receive enough oxygen. They are exposed to carbon dioxide (二氧化碳)that can cause serious illness to them.

7. Bgklg2qz2 Worst of all, some people can not get a place to sleep at all. They sleep under boxes, in cars, and in abandoned houses and buildings where women and children can get raped. They do not have heat to help them survive in the cold temperature. The broken houses often do not have a good roof to prevent them from raining. Many children live in the streets. Those kids who do not have any kind of support from anybody just have to find a way to survive. They are causing serious security problems. They do not go to school, nor get a basic family instruction. They are in the streets involved in crime, robbery and many other dishonest activities.

8. Bgklg2qz3 It is unbelievable to imagine that the United States, which pretends to be the world’s richest country, has people living in such condition. The government has tried many projects to solve the problem. Recently, billions of dollars were spent to build more houses. Social organizations have also done many to improve the situation. However, we still could not change the situation. It seems we need everybody’s contribution to the factor. Every American should be concerned about the crisis and gives whatever to save these poor people. At the same time, it will be good if we support the charities that save the homeless people.

9. Bgklg2qz41 Probably the most popular fast food item in America is the hamburger. Hamburgers are not the only food Americans eat with their hands. There are also appetizers, sometimes called “finger foods”,such as chips and carrot sticks and other assorted small food items. People eat not only food such as corn, hamburgers, and pizza with their hands but also food with a knife and fork. Not all people like cheese burger or pizza. Some people do not like the idea of eating these foods. Some do not eat meat or cheese for religious or personal reasons. In some cultures, people never eat meat and diary products at the same meal. In other cultures, pepperoni (意大利重辣硬香肠), which contains pork, may not be an acceptable food.

10. Bgklg2qz43 When you are invited to someone’s house for dinner but you don’t like some of the food, it is all right not to eat it. But you should try not to draw attention to the fact that you are avoiding certain food.If possible, try to eat at least a little of everything served. It is also OK to eat one or two servings of the foods you like, and leave the others on your plate. Some people are worried about their health because studies have shown that the fat in eggs, bacon (熏咸肉) and buttered toast contributes to heart disease. But there is a more likely reason people don’t eat breakfast any more: they would rather skip breakfast and sleep fifteen minutes later.

44. Pre-reading 1. Why do you want to rent an apartment? 2. What should you do if you want to rent a house? 3. What do you have to do before signing the rental agreement in order to reduce troubles?

45. 译文 z.w 1 Renting Apartments The proceduresfor renting an apartment in different countries, and within the same area of a city, can differ widely and you may feel puzzled and hard while renting an ideal house in a place that is new to you. Thus, knowing what to expect and the basic things to do can help you a lot in your apartment search.

46. 译文 z.w 22 First of all, decide onthe type of apartment you want to rent. How large of a place do you need? How much money are you willing to spend? Is public transportation available nearby? Is it far from your school or working place? Is it too noisy or quiet? Is the surroundings safe or not? What kind of people will be sharing the building with you? Think carefully about the place for you.

47. 译文 z.w 1-1 Next, many apartments are advertised in the local newspaper, and these listings generally described the size, location, price and environment of the place. Looking overthese ads will give you a general idea of the types of apartments available. Ask your friends and teachers if they can recommend any specific place to live. Other students might be looking for roommates, and this might be a good way to minimize your apartment search. Compare what they tell you with what you find in the newspaper.

48. 译文 z.w 2  Then, figure outthe exact costs for renting an apartment and determine yourbudget. In addition to your first month’ s rent, you might have to pay a securitydeposit to cover any damage to the apartment. The amount you get back when you move varies widely, but do not expect to receive the entire amount because landlords sometimesdeduct money for regularmaintenance including carpet cleaning and new paint.

49. 译文 译文 z.w 2-1 Finally, be sure to carefully read and understand the terms of the rental agreement because once you sign, you will be bound to uphold the terms of the contract. Ignorance is no excuse. Can you keep pets in the apartment? Is smoking allowed? Can you invite friends for a party? How much notice do you need to give the landlord before you move out? Ask questions if you are not sure. All in all, each time when you want to rent an apartment, you should takeall the things mentioned aboveinto considerationfor the relief of troubles later on.

50. 译文 zw1-y.w 不同的国家有不同的租房程序，甚至在同一地区，同一城市，租房程序也会大相径庭。当你想在一个你不熟悉的地方租一个理想的房子的时候，你也许会感到迷惑和困难。因此，租房之前考虑周全并了解基本事项会大有裨益。
