听力原文：M: I really don' t know what to do this summer. I can' t afford to just sit aroun

d, 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.
