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、They left their pets with neighbors.
B、They rented their house to a student.
C、They hired someone to stay in their home.
D、They asked their gardener to watch their house.
答案
C
解析
由选项中的rent,hire,house等词可知,此对话可能与雇佣看管的人有关,而A却说的是他们把自己的宠物让邻居代为看管,与其他三项明显不同,故可首先排除。再根据女士提到的 They (the Smiths) hired Cindy to stay in their house可知答案为C。
