Sharing a rm with a family member r a friend can be tugh（困难）, but it becmes especially difficult when yu are sharing it with smene yu hardly knw. If yu find yurself in a similar situatin, d nt despair. There are things yu can d t help yu cpe with having a rmmate, n matter wh it may be.
First f all, yu have t remember that yu get what yu give. If yu are nice t thers, then thers will be nice t yu as well. Yu als need t set bundaries fr yurself and fr the ther persn. S befre yur new rmmate mves in, talk t him. Set the rules early n and discuss yur hpes.
Remember that there are tw things that make up any gd relatinship: belief and respect. The same thing applies t（适用于） having a rmmate. Yu have t respect each ther. S he has that new PS3 game that yu have always wanted t try ut? Ask permissin first. If he says n, dn’t ask him fr it again. If he lets yu brrw his stuff, take care f the item and treat it as if it were yur wn. Make sure that yu return it in the same cnditin as when yu brrwed it.
T keep away frm disagreements ver wh des the husewrk, clean as yu g. Fr chres （杂务）that can be shared, yu may want t divide it equally s that yu dn’t d all the husewrk. Take turns in washing the dishes. Yu may d it every ther day r yu may divide the task s that yu nly have t d it in the mrning and yur rmmate will nly have t d it at night.
When it cmes t fd and grcery items, determine what can be shared. Dn’t be t mean when it cmes t sharing fd. On the ther hand, determine what yu can share and what yu can’t and be clear abut it. The advantage f sharing fd is that yu can save n time and fd preparatin.
28.What is the passage mainly abut?

Chimpanzees(黑猩猩) d have strnger muscles than us-but they are nt nearly as pwerful as many peple think．
“There’s this idea ut there that chimpanzees are superhuman strng.”says Matthew O’Neill at the University f Arizna in Phenix. Yet his team’s experiments and cmputer mdels shw that a chimpanzee muscle is nly abut a third strnger than a human ne f the same size．
This result matches well with the few tests that have been dne, which suggest that when it cmes t pulling and jumping, chimps are abut 1.5 times as strng as humans relative t their bdy mass. But because they are lighter than the average persn, humans can actually utperfrm them in abslute terms, says O’Neill．
His findings suggest that ther apes(类人猿) have similar muscle strength t chimpanzees“Humans are the dd nes.”he says.
O’Neill’s team has been studying the evlutin f upright walking. T create an accurate cmputer mdel f hw chimps walk，the researchers needed t find ut whether their muscles really are much strnger. S they remved small samples f leg muscle frm three chimps and measured the strength f individual fibers(纤维)．
The same prcedure is used t study human muscles. Cmparing the results with the many studies n thse shwed that, cntrary t the claims f several ther studies, there is nthing special abut chimp muscle.“Chimpanzee muscle is really n different than human muscle in terms f the frce that individual fibers use.”says O’Neill．
S why, n a pund-fr-pund basis, are chimps slightly strnger than humans? The team went n t lk at the muscle f chimps that had died f natural causes, which shwed that tw-thirds f their muscle is made f fast-twitch fibers, whereas mre than half f human fibers are slw-twitch. Fast-twitch fibers are mre pwerful, but use mre energy and becme tired faster.
Anther factr, O’Neill fund, is that chimps have lnger fibers n average which als imprves their strength.
This adds t the evidence that walking uses far mre energy fr chimps than fr peple. The results fit well with the idea that early humans evlved t walk r run lng distances. It seems that we gave up sme strength fr greater endurance(耐力).
32．What des O’Neill mean when he says“Humans are the dd nes”?
A. Humans are better at jumping and pulling things than chimps.
B. Humans’ muscle strength is different frm that f apes.
Humans are heavier and strnger than chimpanzees.
There is nthing special abut human muscles.
33．What cntributes a lt t the strength f chimp muscles?
A. The evlutin f upright walking.
B. The slw-twitch fibers in their muscles.
C. Mst f their muscles being made f shrt fibers.
D. The fast-twitch fibers in their muscles.
34．We can infer frm the text that__________．
A. shrt fibers prvide mre energy fr the muscle
B. early humans needed much mre energy than chimps
C. human muscles are mre suited t lng distance running
D. slw-twitch muscle fibers help chimps survive in the wild
35．What can we cnclude accrding t the passage?
A. Chimpanzees have much strnger muscles than us.
B. Chimpanzees can jump higher than us.
C. Chimp muscle is almst the same as humans’.
D. Humans can walk lnger than Chimpanzees.
