M: I really don’t know what to do this summer. I can’t afford to just sit around, and there don’t seem to be any jobs available.
W: Why don’t you try house-sitting? Last summer my friend Margaret house-sat for the Dodds when they went away on vacation. Mr. Dodd hired Margaret to stay in their house because he didn’t want it left empty.
M: You mean the Dodds paid Margaret just to live in their house?
W: It wasn’t that easy. She had to water the houseplants. And when Eric house-sat for Mr. Cohen, he had to take care of his pets.
M: House-sitting sounds like a good job. I guess it’s a little like baby-sitting — except you’re taking care of a house instead of children.
W: The student employment office still has a few jobs posted.
M: Do I just have to fill out an application?
W: Margaret and Eric had to interview with the homeowners and provide three references each.
M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.
W: The homeowners want some guarantee that they can trust the house-sitter. You know, they want to make sure you’re not the type who will throw wild parties in their house, or move groups of friends in with you.
M: House-sitters who do that sort of things probably won’t be paid.
W: Usually they are paid anyway just because the homeowners don’t want to make a fuss. But if the homeowners report it, and then the housesitter wouldn’t be able to get another job. So why don’t you apply?
Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
8. What does the man want to do this summer?
9. What did the Dodds do when they went away last summer?
10. How do homeowners determine the reliability of the house-sitters?
11. What the following circumstances cause the house-sitter not to get paid?
选项
A、The house-sitter looks after the owner’s house carefully.
B、The homeowners don’t want to make a fuss.
C、The house-sitter makes the owner’s house neatly.
D、The house-sitter holds a party in the owner’s house with many classmates.
答案
D
解析
推理题。题目问的是以下哪种情况让代为照看房屋的人得不到报酬。对话后面提到,如果在主人的房子里开狂野派对或者招一大群朋友进来的话,有可能得不到报酬。故选D。A、C选项所表述的内容,从对话中推知是能得到报酬的。B项与本题无关。
