我打算找一个两室一厅的公寓。因为北京的房租太贵了，一个人住不起，所以我要找一个室友。我们需要一个很大的客厅，这样我们可以常常请朋友来我们的公寓开派对。另外，不但采光要好，我喜欢明亮的房间，而且要有空调。因为北京的夏天很热，外面空气又不好。每个睡房/卧室要带卫生间，因为我不想跟我的室友合用。浴室要带热水器。不但厨房要很宽敞，而且要带冰箱，微波炉，烤箱，一张饭桌和至少四把椅子。客厅里要有沙发，书架，电视机等家具。最重要的是公寓得有宽带。除了小区的环境的绿化要好以外，地点一定也要很方便，离市中心，购物，餐馆，健身房很近。另外，离公交和高速公路也要近。公寓不但要有阳台，而且景色也要好，最好是能看到天安门广场（Tian An Men Guang Chang, Tian'anmen Square)。这样的话，我们随时可以去故宫(Gu Gong, the Forbidden City) 。公寓准不准养宠物都无所谓。因为我从来对养宠物不感兴趣，连一个宠物都没有养过。每个月的房租我们能付得起三千美元，合人民币差不多一万八千块，但是要包括水电费，我们搬出去的时候，押金要还给我们。

P-8 Reading Practice
直到90年代后期，中国大学生都必须/必需住在校园宿舍，有六，七人住同一个房间，可能有十几个人共用（合用）一间浴室。因为不可能在宿舍做饭，所以大家在校园里的学生食堂（学生餐厅）吃三餐。自从80年代初开始，外国留学生被分到 指定(designated) 的宿舍，通常有两个人一个房间。生活条件(conditions)总的来说比中国学生的生活条件好得多。可是，自1990年代后期开始，中国学生的生活条件也有很大的提高(improved) 。在一些高校，如果他们能负担得起(able to afford)的话，学生们现在可以租用校外的公寓。 现在，在中国城市租房子变得越来越方便。人们可以在网上，或者是在当地的报纸上 寻找出租的公寓，或直接致电（打电话）给房主。他们也可以去中介公司(Real Estate Agency) 。中介公司可以帮房主和房客，找到理想的(ideal)公寓和房客。
Culture Highlights
Until the late 1990s, college students in China were all required to live in dorms on campus, with six or seven of them sharing a room and possibly dozens sharing a bathroom. Because there was no place to cook in the dorms, everyone ate in the students’ dining hall (学生餐厅) on campus. Since the early 1980s, foreign students have generally been segregated into designated dormitories, typically with two to a room. Living conditions for Chinese students, meanwhile, have improved substantially since the late 1990s. At some colleges, students now have the option of renting apartments off-campus, if they can afford it. It is becoming increasingly convenient to rent an apartment in a Chinese city. One can look for listings online, in the local newspapers, or simply call or stop by one of the many 中介公司 intermediary companies, agencies that match apartment owners with potential tenants.
Traditionally, the Chinese had a special love—many still do—for birds, especially parrots and canaries. Tropical fish also remain popular with many urbanites. Even crickets make good pets for some people. In the countryside, the most popular household pets are cats, at least partly for the practical purpose of keeping rats away. In recent decades, the population of dogs, especially in the cities, has increased dramatically. According to a report by China News Week in 2006, there were 550,000 “licensed” dogs in Beijing alone. By receiving the license, these animals became “legal residents” of the city.
