2、pus. The food is lousy, but there are other things I like about it.Eric: What are the good things about living in a college dorm?Patty: There are lots of advantages to living in the dorms. For example, I like studying and hanging out with my floormates. We all go out to parties together.Eric: Wow, i

3、t sounds like the people in your dorm are pretty close.Patty: Yeah, we really are. I love the dorms because you make friends that last all through college.看来，虽然食堂饭不好吃，但 Patty 还是挺喜欢住校的，跟宿舍楼里的人很合得来。对了，Professor Bowman, roommate是室友，那么Patty说的floormate是住在同一层的人么？Professor: Thats right, Winnie! A floormate

4、 is someone who lives on the same floor.也就是“层友”！ 我们来听听Eric住在哪里吧。Patty: How about you, Eric? Are you living on campus?Eric: Right now I live in an apartment off campus. I didnt like living on campus because the people in my dorm always had their doors closed and were studying. It wasnt much fun.Patty

5、: Thats too bad. It sounds like the people in your dorm werent as close as the people in my dorm.Eric: No, youre right. Living off campus is OK, but I feel like I miss out on all of the fun stuff that happens on campus.Patty: Have you ever thought of joining a fraternity? I hear that all the brother

7、e called the Greek system. If you join a fraternity, you can say that you go Greek.加入兄弟会可以说“Go Greek，真有意思！那我猜，既然有兄弟会，一定也有“姐妹会”吧？Professor: Yes! In the next section, listen for the word sorority, which is a fraternity for women.Eric: What about you? Have you ever thought about joining a sorority?Patt

8、y: No way. Ive heard a lot of horror stories about Greek life. Plus, Im not a big drinker and I decided its better to keep a clear head and focus on my studies.Eric: Youre totally right. I like to go to parties, but I dont want to wake up in the morning surrounded by empty beer bottles!Patty: Yeah,

9、partying in the place you live is a bad idea. Plus, all the hazing seems really stupid.Eric: Yeah, some of my friends joined fraternities and they said the hazing was really bad.看来，Patty对姐妹会不感兴趣。可她说的hazing是什么意思啊？Professor: Sometimes when you want to join a club, the people in the club will make you

10、do lots of crazy things to prove you really want to join. For example, a fraternity might haze one of the men trying to join it by making him wear a dress out in public.啊？原来hazing就是整人啊！为了考验想加入兄弟会的男生，可能会让他穿着裙子到大马路上走一圈儿! 难怪Eric和Patty都讨厌这些hazing的把戏!Eric: You know, my friend is having a party this Satur

11、day night at his apartment. Do you want to come?Patty: Sure! That sounds like lots of fun!Eric: Great. Bring all of your girlfriends!Patty: Wait a minute. Are you inviting me just so that I will bring lots of other girls to the party?Eric: What? Of course not! Im inviting you because I need a designated driver!Eric请Patty去参加派对，但却是为了让Patty在派对结束后当他的专用司机 - designated driver, 这是什么朋友啊！Professor: Well, if Patty is a true friend she will want to make sure Eric gets home safely, right?那倒也是。我看Patty也是个讲义气的朋友呢!这次的美语三级跳就播送到这里。
