How to Make Friends at Community College
Making friends at a community college can be a bit more challenging compared to four-year schools. Since students usually don't live on campus, there isn't always a shared living environment. Here are some ways to make friends at a community college.
⒈Get involved on campus: Look for opportunities to get involved on campus, such as joining clubs, organizations, or student government. These activities provide a chance to meet and interact with other students who share similar interests or hobbies.
⒉: In many courses, group projects are a common part of the curriculum. Use these assignments as an opportunity to collaborate with classmates and build relationships. By working closely with others, you can get to know them better and potentially form lasting friendships.
⒊Be friendly and approachable: . Be open to striking up conversations with your classmates, whether it's before or after class. Show genuine interest in getting to know them and be willing to listen.
⒋Work out with a partner: College work will occupy most of your day. Your health, for one, is something you may start to neglect as you throw yourself fully into college life. Needless to say, ignoring your health is absolutely unacceptable. . You can start with your pal by heading over to your school's gym or fitness center and try meeting new people there.
A. Take advantage of group projects
B. Know your group member better
C. By participating in campus activities, you can expand your social circle and make new friends.
D. A simple smile or greeting goes a long way in creating a friendly atmosphere.
E. Community colleges offer programs that are two years long
F. However, that doesn't mean opportunities aren't available
G. Finding yourself an exercise friend will help encourage you to become more active

Taking good care of your teeth may be linked to better brain health, according to a study published in the July 5, 2023, online issue of Neurology. "Our study found that gum(牙龈)disease and tooth loss were linked to brain shrinkage(萎缩)in the hippocampus(海马体), which plays a role in memory and Alzheimer's disease(阿尔兹海默病)," said study author Satoshi Yamaguchi, Ph.D. of Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan.
The study involved 172 people without memory problems. Their average age was 67. Participants had dental exams and took memory tests at the beginning of the study. They also had brain scans to measure the volume of their hippocampus at the beginning of the study. This was measured again four years later. For each participant, researchers counted the number of teeth and checked for amount of gum disease.
Researchers found that the number of teeth and amount of gum disease was linked to changes in the left hippocampus of the brain. For people with mild gum disease, having fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage, which is the same for people with severe gum disease having more teeth. After adjusting for age, researchers found that for people with mild gum disease, the increase in the rate of brain shrinkage due to one less tooth was equal to nearly one year of brain aging. By contrast, for people with severe gum disease the increase in brain shrinkage due to one more tooth was equal to 1.3 years of brain aging.
"These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth," Yamaguchi said. "The findings suggest that controlling the progression of gum disease through regular dental visits is crucial, and that teeth with severe gum disease may need to be removed and replaced with appropriate false ones."
Yamaguchi said future studies are needed with larger groups of people. The limitation of the study is that it was conducted in one region of Japan, so the results may not be applied to other locations.
(1)、What is Yamaguchi's study mainly about?A、Causes of gum disease. B、The symptoms of brain shrinkage. C、Ways to take good care of one's teeth. D、The connection between the teeth and the brain.(2)、How did researchers reach the conclusion?A、By making comparisons. B、By referring to previous studies. C、By conducting a survey among dentists. D、By proving experts' theory in experiments.(3)、What do the research findings indicate?A、Gum disease is increasing among people. B、Keeping teeth healthy is of great importance. C、Removing natural teeth is bad for dental health. D、Doing a routine dental checkup can avoid gum disease.(4)、What is expected of the future studies according to Yamaguchi?A、Exploring treatments for gum disease. B、Seeking new methods to improve brain health. C、Involving people from other places in the research. D、Applying the research to relieve Alzheimer's disease. -

After nearly a decade of enduring the busy and noisy life in Las Vegas, Nevada, my family and I reached a decision to have a slower pace and adopt a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle. We collectively agreed that moving to the countryside would be the perfect solution.
After some searching, we found a home in Yucca, Arizona, a small town with a population of less than 1,000 people. However, when I called to ask about the condition of the house, I was surprised to know that there was no electricity available in the area. Initially, I almost denied the idea of living here, but then I realized that it was an excellent opportunity to go green. After careful consideration, we decided to make an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day.
In the beginning, we faced challenges as we remodeled(改造)the house and lived in our motor home. However, these frustrations just made us work harder. We gradually fixed the things and after 38 days, we were able to move into the house.
Living off the grid(电线)has been a significant adjustment for us over the past four months, but it has also brought numerous benefits. One of the most educational lessons we have learned is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take water, power, and gas for granted, but now they understand the need to be mindful of their usage. We have made changes such as taking shorter showers, doing full loads of laundry, and turning off the water while brushing our teeth. Additionally, we have embraced other sustainable practices like recycling, growing our own organic vegetables, and re-purposing items instead of throwing them away.
Overall, our decision to go off the grid has been incredibly positive for our family. We hope that even after our children move out, they will continue to keep the habits they have developed while living off the grid.

B、She was excited about the opportunity to go green. C、She was unsure about whether to move or not. D、She was disappointed and continued searching for other options.(3)、What is one of the valuable lessons the family has learned from living off the grid?A、Repair the house before it rains. B、Have a new lifestyle is a trend. C、The joy of growing their own vegetables. D、It is significant to save resources.(4)、Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A、Urban Family's experience of living in the countryside.

16、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At a neighbor's pool the summer after sixth grade, Charley shouted out those famous last words, "Hey, watch this!" As he dove into the pool, Tad froze. It wasn't the deep end!
Charley was hurt bad when he hit the bottom of the swimming pool. The doctor said he might have broken his back and could lose the use of his legs. His life would change forever. Tad didn't see Charley for over a month after he was carried away in the screaming ambulance.
When Tad went to visit Charley in the hospital, his "Hey, dude, how's it going?" was greeted by an annoyed grunt (嘟哝声) . Looking small and pale, Charley cried, "I can't walk-how do you think I feel? I wish I was dead! '
"Bro, you'll get well! You're tough."
"No, the doctor said I won't."
"Aw, man. That's horrible!" And the conversation died right there.
Tad didn't go back after that. He just didn't know what to say. When Charley got out of the hospital, Tad went over to his house a few times and played video games, but it just wasn't the same. Not only was his friend's body damaged, so was his spirit. Tad had made friends with other boys who enjoyed all the things he and Charley used to do. Even if he felt sad and guilty, he wasn't spending more time at Charley's. Tad wanted to help and be a good friend but didn't know how now.
Charley just became sadder and sadder, and Tad spent less and less time with him as the school year passed.
When summer break started again, Tad didn't see much of Charley. He had made the baseball team and didn't have time for video games. At least he told himself that was the reason. He was shocked right before eighth grade started when he saw Charley sailing down the sidewalk with a big black dog by his wheelchair. "Wow, what's this?" Said Tad, running over to his friend.
"This is Rowdy! He helps me."
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式作答。
"Wow, what does he do?" Tad was interested.
……
After that, Tad could sense something had changed.

How to keep your house cool in the heat?
As staying cool in the summer can be expensive, here are some energy efficiency tips to help keep your house comfortable without breaking the bank.
Plant for shade. You can place climbing plants or tall-growing bushes on outside walls. . Besides, although south-facing windows can absorb heat, strategically-placed plants or trees can also regulate the sun's rays.
. Double-glazed window is known for its ability to keep homes comfortable in winter, but it can also be beneficial during warmer months. Such energy-efficient windows combine insulated vinyl frames (隔热乙烯泡膜) with low-emissivity coatings. This not only reduces heat loss in winter but also deflects the heat from the sun, preventing your home from becoming too hot and creating a comfortable indoor environment.
Go with the airflow. . When installing new windows, consider window design and layout for natural ventilation (通风) . Awning windows, positioned high on a building, can provide ventilation even during rain and force warm air out.
. Using an ordinary fan can enhance airflow at a low cost by forcing out warmth and drawing in cooler air. Identify cool pockets in your home, like a basement, and use fans to distribute the cool air evenly. To live comfortably in winter and summer, install an air-source heat pump.
A. Close the windows
B. Invest in quality windows
C. Go back to basics and use a fan
D. This increase heat and make you warm
E. This can create shading and reduce heat
F. It's helpful to be mindful of how your home interacts with the environment
G. It provides heating in winter and functions as an air-conditioning unit in summer
