Choose the one that you think is the best answer.T

15、EXT A If you like the idea of staying with with a family,living in house might be the answer.Goodlandladies-those who are superb cooks and launderers,are figures as popular in fiction as the bad ones who terrorize their guest and overcharge them at the slightest opportunity.The truth is probably som

16、ewhere between the two extremes.If you are lucky,the food will be adequate, some of your laundry may be done for you and you will have a reasonable amount of comfort and chompanionship .For the less fortune ,house rules may restrict the freedom to invite friends to vistit,and shared cooking and bath

17、room facilities can be frustrating and row-provoking if tidy and untidy guest are living under the same roof. The same disadvantages can apply to flat sharing,with the added difficulties that arise from deciding who pays for what,and in what proportion.One person may spend hours on the phone,while a

18、nother rarely makes calls. If you want privacy with guest , how do you persuade the others to go out; how do you persuade them to leave you in peace,especially if you are student and want to study? Conversely,flat sharing can be very cheap,there will always be someone to talk to and go out with,and

19、the chores,in theory,can be shared.81.According to the passage ,landladies are _ A.usually strict.B.always mean.C.adequately competent.D.very popular with their guest. 82.What is the additional disadvantage of flat sharing ?A.Problems of sharing and paying.B.Differences in living habits.C.Shared coo

21、to the talk of the late UK writer Douglas Adams master work “The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” on the radio and thought-I know,Ill pick up the next hitchhikers I see and ask them wahat the state of real hitching is today in Britain. (2)I drove and drove on main roads and side roads for the next f

22、ew days and never saw a single one. (3)When I was in my teens and 20s ,hitchhiking was a main form of long-distance transport.The kindness or curiosity of strangers took me all over Europe,North America,Asiaand southern Africa,Some of the lift-givers became friends ,many provided hospitality on the

23、road. (4)Not only did you find out much more about a country than when traveling by train or plane ,but there was that lelement of excitement about where you would finish up that night.Hitchhiking featured importantly in Western culture.It has books and songs about it .So what has happened to it? (5

24、)A few years ago ,I was asked the same question about hitching in a column of a newspaper.Hundreds of people from all over the world responded with their view on the state of hitchhiking . (6)Rural Ireland was recommended as f friendly place for hitching,as was Quebec,Canada-“if you dont mind being

25、criticized for not speaking French”. (7)But while hitchhiking was clearly still alive and well in some places ,the general feeling was that throughtout much of the west it was doomed. (8)With so much news about crime in the media,people assumed that anyone on the open road without the money for even

26、 a bus ticket must present a danger.But do we need to be so wary both to hitch and to give a lift? (9)In Poland in the 1960s,according to a Polish woman who e-mail me ,the authorities introduced the Hitchhikers Booklet.The booklet contained coupons for drivers,so each time a driver picked somebody ,

27、he or she received a coupon.At the end of the season,drivers who had picked up the most hikers were rewarded with various prizes.Everyone was hitchhiking then”. (10)Surely this is a good idea for society.Hitchhiking would increase respect by breaking down barriers between strangers.It would help fig

28、ht global warming by cutting down on fuel consumption as hitchhikers would be using existing fuels.It would also improveeducational standards by delivering instant lessons in geography ,history,politics and sociology. (11)A century before Douglas Adams wrote his “Hitchhikers Guide”,another adventure

29、 story writer,Robert Louis Stevenson, gave us that what should be the hitchhikers motto:To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.” What better time than putting a holiday weekend into practice.
