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 attend a housesitter’s party.
B、They check a housesitt’s references.
C、They interview a housesitter’s friends.
D、They look at a housesitter’s transcripts.
答案
B
解析
4个选项中都包含了“house-sitter”, 说明是关键词。对于房主如何决定临时看房人是否可以信赖,对话中有这样的话“Margaret and Eric have to interview with the homeowners and provide three references each”, 即他们首先面试,然后查看看房人的资料,因此选项B 是正确答案。
