And it's a way of life she's sharing with her community in the hope of making a difference.Catherine leads a 6,000-strong online group called Boroondara Hard Rubbish Rehome, where members upload pictures of their hard rubbish piles for eager locals to find. She started the group in 2022 with her childhood friend Jennie Irving, hoping to build a community of thrift (节俭) where they lived. The pair have stopped more than 7,000 kg of hard rubbish going to landfill since they founded the group.Some items are ready as they are, like chairs and lamps, and others take a bit of effort to clean up, like the old, wooden doors.Local teacher Ruth Polgar discovered the group while surfing the Internet and has since decorated her classroom with second-hand items, including artwork she has rehomed from a neighbour."We regularly take unneeded items from the group and use them for our school projects, "she says.Running the group can be really challenging for Catherine. But she doesn't resent those who have to let go of their possessions because of stressful circumstances. "If you're downsizing or if you're clearing an old house, quite often you're desperate for access to easy options, "she says. "Hard rubbish piles are often that option."All Catherine wants to do is give her community a way to reduce theirwaste, and to send a message to those in charge that things need to urgently change."The government has big targets around sustainable development leading into 2030.We want to start speeding that up even sooner, "she says. "We're suffering from our own waste really, so anything that we can all do on a practical level helps. We should first make lifestyle choices and be prepared to go second-hand."4．Why did Catherine set up Boroondara Hard Rubbish RehomeA.To create a community of thrift.B.To donate her collection to charity.C.To collect hard rubbish for locals.D.To decorate the houses for the homeless.5．What can we infer about Ruth PolgarA.She prefers second-hand items.B.She buys items on the Internet.C.She supports Catherine's cause.D.She teaches art at a local school. 6．What does the underlined word "resent" in paragraph 5 probably meanA.Feel angry about.B.Feel pleased with.C.Show sympathy for.D.Show interest in.7．What does Catherine advocate in the last paragraphA.Setting ourselves a big goal.B.Giving throwaways a second life.C.Meeting the government's requirements.D.Replacing old furniture regularly.Scientists have been experimenting with playing sounds to plants since at least the 1960s, during which time they have been exposed to everything from Beethoven to Michael Jackson. Over the years, evidence that this sort of thing can have an effect has been growing. One paper, published in 2018, claimed that an Asian shrub known as the telegraph plant grew substantially larger leaves when exposed to 56 days of Buddhist music—but not if it was exposed to Western pop music or silence. Another, published last year, found that marigolds and sage plants exposed to the noise of traffic from a busy motorway suffered growth difficulty.Plants have been evolving (进化) alongside the insects that eat them for hundreds of millions of years. With that in mind, Heidi Appel, a botanist now at the University of Houston, and Reginald Cocroft, a biologist at the University of Missouri, wondered if plants might be sensitive to the sounds made by the animals with which they most often interact. They recorded the vibrations made by certain species of caterpillars (毛毛虫) as they chewed on leaves. These vibrations are not powerful enough to produce sound waves in the air. But they are able to travel across leaves and branches, and even to neighbouring plants if their leaves touch. They then exposed tobacco plant—the plant biologist's version of the laboratory mouse-to the recorded vibrations while no caterpillars wereactually present. Later, they put real caterpillars on the plants to see if exposure had led them to prepare for an insect attack. The results were striking. Leaves that had been exposed had significantly higher levels of defensive chemicals, making them much harder for the caterpillars to eat. Leaves that had not been exposed to vibrations showed no such response. Other sorts of vibration—caused by the wind, for instance, or other insects that do not eat leaves—had no effect."Now speakers with the right audio files are more often being used to warn crops to act when insects are detected but not yet widespread, "says Dr.Cocroft."Unlike chemical pesticides, sound waves leave no dangerous chemicals."8．What can we learn about plants from the first paragraphA.They may enjoy western music.B.They can't stand Buddhist music.C.They can react to different sounds.D.They can make different sounds. 9．What's the basis for Appel and Cocroft's researchA.Plants can make a cry for help.B.Plants evolve alongside insects.C.Plants are sensitive to the sounds.D.Plants have been studied for years. 10．What can we infer about plants from Paragraph 3A.They can recongnize harmful vibrations.B.They look like laboratory mouse.C.They can threaten the caterpillars.D.They can release poisonous chemicals.11．What does the last paragraph mainly talk aboutA.Disadvantages of chemical pesticides.B.Application of the experimental results.C.Interaction between plants and insects.D.Warning system for widespread insects.A physical checkup often begins with a series of questions: What foods do you eat Do you smoke Getting any exercise New research suggests another telling indicator could be added to that list: What was your college major The study finds one's chosen field of college study is a statistically significant predictor of health in midlife.The researchers find the four majors associated with the best midlife health are architecture/engineering, biology/life sciences, business, and—here's a surprise—communications/journalism. Perhaps chasing after big stories keeps us journalists in shape.It has long been established that people with more education tend to be healthier. But does one's major matter To find out, the researchers analyzed data from the nationally representative American Community Survey.Their sample consisted of 3.7 million United States-born adults between the ages of 45 and 64-the time of life when physical functioning problems start to appear. Participants noted whether they had difficulty walking or climbing stairs, dressing or bathing. A "yes" answer in any ofthose categories resulted in a grade of relatively poor health.The researchers focused on the 667,362 participants who earned a bachelor's degree, but went no further in their education. They noted each person's college major, which they placed into one of 15 categories. They found substantial differences in health across majors. Two majors are particularly disadvantaged in midlife. The chances of poor health are 1.9 times greater among psychology/social work and law/public policy majors compared to business majors. The researchers argue this is likely due to several factors. Psychology majors tend to suffer from high unemployment and low earnings. Law/public policy majors often enter the field of law enforcement (执行) .The researchers say that they have discovered associations, not proof of causality (因果关系) . But they make a convincing case that some majors lead people to live healthier lifestyles than others. Their findings might even inspire a warning country song: Mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be psychology majors.12．What can be learned from the first two paragraphsA.Smoking can lead to poor health.B.Diet is more important than exercise.C.Physical checkups keep you healthy.D.College major should be added to a checkup.13．How do researchers draw their conclusionsA.By doing face-to-face interviews.B.By following participants' daily routines.C.By doing medical examinations.D.By analyzing the representative data.14．Which of the following is against midlife health according to the researchersA.Engineering.B.Business.C.Psychology.D.Agriculture.15．What is the best title of the passageA.College majors can predict midlife health.B.More majors in college can improve health.C.The annual physical exam is necessary to life.D.People with more education tend to be healthier.二、七选五16．The philosophy that can help you keep your home organizedHow can we clean up our space and keep it that way That's a question that Star Hansen thinks a lot about. She's a professional c organizer who teaches classes on home organizing. She believes that keeping your home neat and tidy is a continual process. ①______. Here are her tidying philosophy strategies to clean up your messes.Understand your chaosHansen says everyone's chaos tells a personal story. What becomes chaos and where your chaos build up can say a lot about what's going onwith you. If you have unwanted piles of stuff around your house, ask yourself: What's making it hard to throw them away For example, a uniform that hasn't fit for years. ②______.When you understand the reasons behind your chaos, it's a lot easier to know what to keep and what to throw away.Start smallWhen it comes to organizing, don't bite off more than you can chew. If you start with too big a goal, you might get discouraged if the job takes too long. So don't try to clean your entire garage in one afternoon.③______.For example, you can tidy your cupboard first and save more complicated items, like your garage, for last. Setting realistic goals can help keep you invested in the process.④______It's easy to be organized the day after tidying. But what happens when you come home from a trip and are too tired to unpack your luggage Or when you get the flu and are too sick to clean up The key to staying organized is to create practices that can be easily maintained. Make a system that works for you even when you've got a cold. For example, label storage containers on all four sides so they're easier to spot.⑤______.A. Make it easy to stay organizedB. Abandon the fancy storage boxesC. Instead, start with something less challengingD. Maybe it reveals a longing for your former professionE. That attitude can help you let go of things you don't needF. You have to take the time to create systems that work for youG. Make sure your most used items are always the easiest to reach三、完形填空（20空）In Jan. 2020, Teresa Hernandez was 35 weeks pregnant.

These must-see bridges are now tourist attractions in their own right.Clifton Suspension Bridge, BristolDescribed byits legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel as “my first love, my darling", it was originally designed for horse-drawn traffic. Now, more than four million vehicles a year cross the 1,352ft-long toll（通行费）bridge over the Avon Gorge. The £ 1 toll for every journey pays for its maintenance. The history of the bridge, dating back to 1864, is kept alive through a programme of tours, events and exhibitions.Infinity Bridge, Stockton-On-TeesA pedestrian（行人）and cycle footbridge across the River Tees, its working title was the North Shore Footbridge, before it was given its grander name when opened in 2009. It is particularly incredible at night. The arches（拱形）of the bridge are also lit white and, on calm nights, their reflection in the water appears as an infinity（无穷大）symbol, thus inspiring the name which was chosen by the public.Tower Bridge, LondonAn engineering wonder built from thousands of tons of Portland stone and steel, it took construction workers eight years to complete. More than 120 years old, it's a popular tourist attraction, as well as a functional bridge. Visitors can take in the views over the capital, experience seeing London life through the Glass Floor, and visit the Victorian Engine Rooms.Iron Bridge, ShropshireOpened in 1781 , this is the first arch bridge in the world made out of cast iron. Recognised as one of the great symbols of the industrial revolution, it transformed the craft of bridge building and was a crucial factor in the development of the iron trade in Shropshire.1. Which bridge has the longest history?A. Clifton Suspension Bridge.B. Infinity Bridge.C. Tower Bridge.D. Iron Bridge.2. What can we know about Infinity Bridge?A. It was originally meant for pedestrains.B. The public give it two names.C. Ifs well worth visiting at night.D. Its arch is bigger than any other bridge's.3. What makes Clifton Suspension Bridge different from the other bridges introduced?A. It charges drivers for each passing.B. It offers walkers a good view at night.C. It was made from thousands of stones.D. It's a symbol of the industrial revolution.BTaking an afternoon nap could keep your brain sharp, a new study has said. Adults ages 60 and older who took afternoon naps showed signs of better mental ability compared to those who didn’t nap, according to a study published in General Psychiatry earlier this week.Researchers analyzed napping habits in 2, 214 older Chinese people and measured their cognitive abilities using several cognitive tests. Participants took the Mini-Mental State Examination and theBeijingversion of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, both of which test for memory, language and other cognitive abilities. In every category listed in the study, nappers tested statistically higher on average compared to their non-napping counterparts.Researchers did not gather data from people under 60, so a correlation cannot be drawn between napping and younger generations. The study also noted that there are conflicting studies about the benefits and risks of napping.Sleeping behaviors can be affected by a multitude of factors, said Dr. David Neubauer, associate professor atJohnsHopkinsUniversity. “Daily routines, medication use and sleep disorders can all play a role in how frequently someone takes a nap.” he said.Neubauer recommended taking a shorter “power nap” of up to 20 minutes to decrease the chances of transitioning into slow-wave sleep, which makes people feel groggy when they wake up. “Napping can be a healthy part of an older adult’s day”, Neubauer acknowledged, but make sure “sleepiness isn’t due to a treatable nighttime sleep disorder.” Older individuals who want to do all they can to preserve their cognitive functioning should put nighttime sleep first.4. What is the best way to keep a better cognitive ability for the old?A. Take a nap every day.B. Take sleep disorder seriously.C. Have a good sleep at night.D. Do exercise regularly.5. How did the researchers reach the conclusion?A. By taking the examinations and assessment.B. By analyzing napping habits and giving tests.C. By measuring nappers’ ability and analyzing them.D. By doing an experiment.6. Which has NO effect on one’s sleeping behaviors?A. Taking a nap.B. Medicine treatmentC. Sleep problemsD. Everyday activities.7. What can we know about “slow-wave sleep”?A. It appears in short nap up to 20 minutes.B. People should avoid it in their naps.C. It is a healthy part of an elder’s day.D. It was recommended by Neubauer.CFirst grader Gavin Clampett was diagnosed(诊断) with Tourette’s Syndrome at the age of five. Due to the neurological(神经的) disorder, he always experiences a variety of sudden uncontrolled movements and sounds.The uncontrollable actions mean that he often gets dirty looks from strangers in public and kids make cruel comments on the school bus and in class. In an effort to prevent the unkind comments, Gavin’s mother, 32­year­old Rebecca Clampett helped him make a video with his sister Brynn, nine, and played it to pupils at his school to help them understand the condition.In the video, which Rebecca also shared on YouTube, Gavin’s sister Brynn starts by answering the question “What is Tourette’s Syndrome?” She explains, “It is a neurological disorder, which means it affects the brain so that a person makes unwanted movements. These are called tics(抽搐), but not like a tic that is found outside. These tics can be very noticeable or not very noticeable, quiet or loud.”School can be hard for all kids. That canbe even harder for children like Gavin because they have to face people who laugh at them every single day. “I feel like my brother and every other kid who has Tourette’s Syndrome are brave. So be kind to them and don’t treat them differently because they are just like you”, Brynn says in the video.Gavin concludes, “Everyone could play with someone. Some people think I can’t because I’m different but actually I can. Some are afraid that I will say dirty words, but actually I won’t. The disease bothers me a little, but I’m OK.”8. What can we know about Tourette’s Syndrome?A. It can be treated with drugs.B. It is usually found at an early age.C. People with it will say dirty words.D. People with it can make uncontrolled sounds.9. Because of the disease, others often _________.A. take pity on GavinB. give a hand to GavinC. keep away from GavinD. look down upon Gavin10. In the video, Gavin’s sister __________.A. explains her brother’s diseaseB. expresses her love for her brotherC. complains about unkind commentsD. encourages others to donate money11. What can be used to best describe Gavin?A. Lucky.B. Helpless.C. Optimistic.D. Stubborn.DAfter finishing his dinner, Lin Xu opened a WeChat mini-program called "Clear Plate" on his phone and took picture of the empty plates. He was then awarded 157 credit points after the image was uploaded and recognized by artificial intelligence.“Users of the app can use their credit to buy gifts, such as books and cellphones to purchase charity meals donated to children in poor rural areas,” Lin said.A nationwide "Clear Your Plate" campaign is gaining steam online. Efforts to stop food waste and promote thrift are also being made by restaurants that have been urged to create an environment in which consumers are reminded not to waste food. They are also encouraged to offer different portion sizes so that customers can have more choices.The “Clear Plate” mini-program has become popular among young Chinese and currently has nearly 1 millionusers.Liu Jichen, founder of the startup that developed the app, said that the idea popped up at a dinner in 2017, when Liu found that a restaurant would give diners who polished off their food a card and offer small gifts after a certain number of cards had been collected.“Such an idea can be realized online,” Liu said. He formed a team to work on the project.Yet it was quite challenge for the AI system to identify whether the uploaded photos showed empty plates.To make the AI system smarter, Liu and his team, assisted by more than 1,000 others, spent half a year collecting over 100, 000 samples in canteens and restaurants across the country and used the data to train neural network. Dozens of enterprises, institutions and restaurants have contacted the startup to cooperate on the project.Through the visualized mini-program, people can clearly see the good results of saving food, which will effectively reduce waste, he noted. "We hope our efforts can start a new trend among the younger generation, encouraging them to carry out the virtue of cherishing food and developing the habit of thrift, " Liu said12. What is the main function of the APP "Clear Plate?A. Awarding credit points.B. Giving charity meals.C. Showing the empty plates.D. Encouraging saving food.13.

That was, to be a steamboat man. We had temporary ambitions of other sorts, but they were only temporary.My father was a justice of the peace, and I supposed he possessed the power of life and death over all men and could hang anybody that offended him. This was distinction enough for me as a general thing；butthe desire to be a steamboat man kept intruding, nevertheless. One of our boys in town, who went away and was not heard of for-a long time, turned up as apprentice engineer on a steamboat. This thing shook the bottom out of all my Sunday—school teachings. That boy was notoriously worldly, and I was just the opposite. There was nothing generous about this fellow in his greatness. He would always manage to have a rusty nail to scrub while his boat stopped at our town, and he would sit on the inside guard and scrub it, where we could all see him. And wherever his boat was laid up he would come home and show off in the town in his blackest and greasiest clothes, so that nobody could help remembering that he was a steamboat man; and he used all sorts of steamboat technical terms in his talk, as if he were so used to them that he forgot common people could not understand them.This creature's career could produce but one result, and it was speedily followed. Boy after boy managed to get on the river. Despite many choices, pilot was the grandest position of all. The pilot, even in those days of trivial wages, had a princely salary—from 150—250 dollars a month, and no board payment.But our parents would not let us and our worry was the next year would find us hunting for jobs with low pay again.

Irony.CBy mid-century there will likely be 9 billion people on the planet, using ever more resources and leading ever more technologically complex lives. What will our cities be like? How much will artificialintelligence (AI) advance? Will global warming cause disastrous changes, or will we be able to engineer our way out of the climate change issues? Recently, the magazineBig Thinkasked top minds from a variety of fields to weigh in on what the future holds 40 years from now. The result is as follows.It's likely that by 2050 the majority of the people in the world will live in urban areas and will have a much higher average age than people today. Cities theorist Richard thinks urbanization will transform the education system of, making our economy less houses driven and removing the divisions between home and work.And rapidly advancing technology will continue ever more rapidly. Cities of the future won't look like “some sort of science-fiction fantasy”, but it's likely that technological advances and information overlays (VR and AR) will greatly change how we live. Self-driving cars will make the roads safer and provide faster transports. A larger version of driverless cars-driverless trucks — may make long-distance drivers out of date.Some long view predictions are completelydire. Environmentalist Bill says that if we don't make great progress in fighting global warming, it's likely we could see out-of- control rises in sea levels, huge crop shortfalls and wars over limited freshwater resources.In terms of how we will eat, green markets founder and “real food" supporter Nina believes that there will be more small milk processing plants and more regional food operations and we'll be healthier as a result.New York Timeswriter Mark thinks that people will eat fewer processed foods and eat foods grown closer to where they live.

The insects will eat the food waste and change it into part of the body containing about 60 per cent protein. The dried baby worms will then be made into feed.These mealworms can be a continuous solution to several problems. Using a small land and giving out less carbon, they turn food waste into feed and offer an alternative source of protein. Ynsect SAS, a small French business that keeps mealworms to feed fish and pets, attracted money from investors includingIron Manmovie actor Robert Downey Jr. in a round of fund-raising last year.The deal will give Singapore's farmers access to domestically produced animal feed, which is traditionally bought from abroad. The Southeast Asian nation imports more than 90 percent of its food and has set a goal to produce a third of its food locally by 2030. It also aims to achieve a general recycling rate of 70 per cent by then. Presently, less than 20 per cent of Singapore's food waste is recycled.As part of the partnership, Dubai-based Dnata will add Blue Aqua to its list of suppliers to buy locally farmed seafood for its catering service.12.

AAlice Robb is an American science journalist who has written for the Washington Post and the New Republic．Her new book，Why We Dream，encourages us to rethink the importance of dreams and to become dream interpreters ourselves．Reporter：Recently there’s been a massive interest in the science of sleep．Sleep plays a role in maintaining our mental health．Are dreams part of that process?Alice Robb：Dreams play a big role in helping us cope with stress，grief and psychological problems．Dreams are an opportunity to work through things that frighten us in real life，to play out worst-case situations in an environment where they have no consequences．Reporter：Has anyone explained why dreams contain such surreal(超现实的)elements，strange pictures of time，people，geography and so on?Alice Robb：When we dream，the logic centres of our brain—the frontal lobes(大脑额叶)—go dark，and chemicals associated with self-control，like serotonin(血清素)and norepinephrine(去甲肾上腺素)，drop．At the same time，the emotion centres light up：we have a perfect chemical canvas for dramatic，psychologically intense visions．Reporter：You say neglecting to consider our dreams is like“throwing away a gift from our brains without bothering to open it．”What is the gift?Alice Robb：When we’re dreaming，we’re thinking in a state we never have access to by day．Dreams offer the opportunity to think in a different way and show new answers to problems．They show us blind spots on things we might be neglecting in our personal lives．1．In which aspect do dreams help maintain our mental health?A．Dreams help us deal with pessimistic feelings．B．Dreams make us free of stress，grief and psychological problems completely．C．Dreams make us not able to face frightening things．D．In dreams we can solve those worst-case problems．2．According to Alice Robb，what is NOT the gift?A．When dreaming，we’re thinking in a state we never touch by day．B．Dreams provide the chance to think in a different way and show new answers to problems．C．Dreams show us blind spots that might be neglected in real lives．D．Dreams enable us to accomplish impossible tasks．3．In which column will you probably read the passage? A．Education．B．Technology．C．Opinions．D．Culture．BIn the decade to 2019 global meat consumption rose by an average of 1.9％a year and fresh dairy consumption by 2.1％—both about twice as fast as population growth．Yet many sub—Saharan Africans still eat almost no meat，dairy or fish．This is seldom the result of religious or cultural prohibitions．If animal foods were cheaper，or if people had more money，they would eat more of them．Richard Waite of the World Resources Institute，an American think tank(智囊团)，points out that when Africans move to rich countries and open restaurants，they tend to write meat-heavy menus．But this frugal(食肉量少的)continent is beginning to influence the global food system．Africa already imports more meat each year than China does，and the OECD’s forecasters expect imports to keep growing by more than 3％a year．People will probably become healthier．Animal products are excellent sources of essential vitamins and minerals．Studies in several developing countries have shown that giving milk to schoolchildren makes them taller．Recent research in rural western Kenya found that children who regularly ate eggs grew 5％faster than children who did not．Africans’changing diets also create opportunities for local businesses．As cities grow，and as people in those cities demand more animal protein，national supply chains become bigger and more complicated．Animal keepers，hatcheries，vets and trucking companies are indeed in booming years．In the past，Africa would learn to fill shipping containers with clothes and gadgets(小商品)．But now，there are more jobs available filling bellies with meat．4．Why do many sub-Saharan Africans eat almost no meat，dairy or fish?A．Because meat，dairy or fish don’t suit their taste．B．Because of some religious or cultural prohibitions．C．Because they are too poor to afford meat，dairy or fish．D．Because the shortage of meat，dairy or fish in the region．5．The reasons for people’s becoming healthier are as follows

their bellies with meat．CChina has embraced Western fashion and futuristic technology as its economy boomed in recent decades，but a growing number of young people are looking to the past for their clothing choices and putting on traditional“hanfu”，or“Han clothing”．These historic costumes of the Han ethnic majority are enjoying a renaissance(新生)in part because the government is promoting traditional culture．Period dramas have also contributed to the increase in interest for traditional Chinese costumes—“The Story of Minglan”，a TV series set in the Song Dynasty，gained more than 400 million viewers in three days when it was broadcast earlier this year．In modern China，the hanfu community attracts people from different walks of life：from history enthusiasts to cartoon fans，to students and even young professionals．A government-supported revival(恢复)in Chinese culture has given the hanfu community a boost．In April，the Communist Youth League of China launched a two-day conference for traditional Chinese costumes，including hanfu．A live broadcast of the event drew some 20 million viewers，alongside a heartfelt outpouring of emotions.Clothes are the“foundation of culture，”said Jiang Xue，who is part of Beijing-based hanfu club Mowutianxia．”If we as a people and as a country do not even understand our traditional clothing，how can we talk about other essential parts of our culture?”she said．8．In economy-boomed modern society，why does hanfu gain its popularity among young Chinese?①The government is promoting traditional culture．②Historical TV series arouse the interest in traditional costume．③Hanfu is special and well-decorated．A．①②B．①③C．②③D．①②③9．Which of the following words has the similar meaning of“hanfu”?A．Han ethnic majority．B．period dramas．C．history enthusiasts．D．traditional Chinese costume.10．What’s the main reason to drive hanfu communities to grow fast?A．Such communities launch conferences for traditional Chinese costumes frequently．B．They have a great number of supporting viewers．C．The government has released some policies to support the development of Chinese culture．D．They always hold varieties of live broadcast．11．What does Jiang Xue want to tell us?A．She is a member of a hanfu club in the countryside．B．Traditional clothing should be highly thought of in a culture．C．Everyone should wear traditional clothing．D．Traditional clothing is the most essential part of a culture．DRenting a property in the UK can be a hopeless business．The average monthly rent rose to ￡932 last month and in London it is even more expensive at￡1，588，according to new figures．With increasing rents leaving many people with barely any disposable(可支配的)income，let alone the means to save towards some necessaries，some are now choosing alternatives．The older choice．Office administrator Tina Gotla-Aluri，42，was struggling to cope with the￡950 a month she was paying for her house share in Putney，south-west London，when a friend suggested Share and Care Homeshare，which matches older homeowners who have a spare room with people who can offer practical help in exchange．She now lives in Putney with a man in his 90s for free and pays ￡1 80 a month．In retum，Gotla-Aluri provides companionship，goes food shopping，and cooks meals．“He is quite well travelled and food is one of the things we have bonded over，”she says．“I cook British food like Sunday dinners and sometimes Indian or Moroccan food．It’s win-win．”Sitting it out．While some people house-sit for free to get a taste of luxury or a different life for a few weeks，designer Jennifer Hamley，39，and her husband，Ben，37，have turned it into a way to live rent-free．The couple house-sit through TrustedHousesitters．com，which connects home and pet owners with house-sitters and costs each part ￡89 for an annual membership．They house-sit mainly in Brighton，taking care of pets，the home，post and watering plants．“It is a peace of mind for many homeowners．A

rent?A．Because they all hope to experience another way of life．B．Because they think it coo1．C．Because the average monthly rent is too high to afford．D．Because many English people have large income to
