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 housesitting? Last summer my friend Margaret house-sat for the Dodds when they went away on vacation. Mt. 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 mow the lawn and water the house plants. And when Eric house-sat for Dr. Cohen, he had to take care of her pets.
M: House-sitting sounds like a good job. I guess it’ s 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: Well. 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’ I1 throw wild parties in their house, or move a group of friends in with you.
M: House-sitters who do that sort of thing probably arch’ t paid then.
W: Usually they’ re paid anyway just because the homeowners don’ t want to make a fuss. But if the homeowner reported it, then the house-sitter wouldn’t be able to get another job. So why don’ t you apply?
M: Yeah, I think I will.
选项
A、They hired someone to stay in their home.
B、They left their pets with neighbors.
C、They rented their house to a student.
D、They asked their gardener to watch their home.
答案
A
解析
4个选项主语都是they,谓语“left ... with, hired, rent, ask ... to watch”, 这些谓语都表明主语曾离开过。问题是关于the Dodds离开的时候,他们做了什么?从对话中可以得出答案,即选项A ,他们曾雇用某人呆在他们家里。
