M: The summer holiday is coming, but I really don’t know what to do. There doesn’t seem to beany jobs available.
W: Why don’t you try house-sitting? Last summer Cindy was a house sitter for the Smiths when they went away on vacation. They hired Cindy to stay in their house because they didn’t want it left empty.
M: You mean they paid Cindy just to live in their house?
W: It wasn’t that easy. She had to water the house plants, mow the lawn, and even take care of the pets.
M: I guess it is 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 oat an application?
W: You have to have an interview with the homeowner and provide three references at least.
M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.
W: Well, the homeowner wants some guarantee that they can trust the house sitter. You know they want to make sure you’re not the type who’ll hold wild parties in their house, or bring a group of friends in with you.
M: I see. House sitters who do that sort of thing probably aren’t paid then.
W: Usually they’re paid anyway just because the homeowners don’t want to make a fuss. But if the homeowner reports it, the house sitter won’t be able to get another job easily. So why don’t you apply?
M: I think I will. Thank you.
选项
A、The homeowner is afraid of being accused.
B、The house sitter pleads again and again.
C、Most house sitters are very poor.
D、The homeowner doesn’t want to bother.
答案
D
解析
Why does the homeowner usually pay even if the house sitters don’t do their job well?
由选项中的accused,pleads,bother等词可知,本题可能考查的是房主对待house sitter工作的态度,而C与此没有多大联系,故可初步排除。再根据对话中提到的the homeowners don’t want to make a fuss可知,即使house sitter没有做好自己的工作,为了息事宁人,房主还是会付给对方报酬的,由此可知答案为D。make a fuss意为“大惊小怪,小题大做”。
