You’ll have a choice of two meeting places on March 9th.DFree and secure accommodation, no bills and even the odd home-cooked meal. It sounds like the perfect living arrangement for cash-strapped students.Two mothers believe they have devised a way for struggling studentsto save on accommodation costs when they leave home to study at university.Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude have launched Student Swaps, an online accommodation forum (论坛) for parents and students, in advance ofthe introduction in September of ￡3,000 higher education top-up fees.Their website says, “The principle behind Student Swaps is to enable students to literally swap (交换) family homes.” The website will hold a database of students who would like to swap and link them with suitable matches. So those from one town / city could swap with those from a different town / city.The site describes itself as offering a “cost-free accommodation alternative… at a time of growing student debt”. There is no charge for the service at the moment but Ms Barnham and Ms Flude intend to introduce a ￡2014 annual fee if it becomes established.However, the National Union of Students (NUS) has warned that, while the scheme may sound appealing to struggling freshers, it lacks any formal regulation.Veronica King, NUS vice-president of welfare, said, “The fact that this scheme has even been suggested is evidence to the high levels of debt students now face on graduation.” Recent research has shownthat students are more likely to live at home in coming years, in a bid to cut down on the cost of a degree.“This is worrying, as it may mean that students choose their university on the basis of where it is, rather than because it offers the best course for them. It also means students will miss out on what is for some a key part of the student experience-living away from home.”66. A “cash-strapped” student means one who __________.A. lacks moneyB. prefers to stay at homeC. is careful with moneyD. wants to change cash67. What is Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude’s purpose of launching Student Swaps?A. To provide cheaper accommodation for students.B. To let students stay close to their universities.C.

They can make friends with students from a different city.C. They can borrow money to pay for their higher education.D. They can voice their opinions against the rising cost of a degree.69.

Website Helps Students Live at Someone Else’s Home.E“It was all his own idea,” says Pat Peters, the 38-year-old wife of Palo Alto California high school football coach Bob Peters. 39 Bob had just drawn up a "motherhood contract" — a document (文件) stating that for 70 days this summer he would take over the care and feeding of the couple's four children, plus all household chores (杂务) . Although he didn't even know how to make coffee when he signed, he was quite confident. (He thought the experience would make a nice book.)After 40 of the 70 days, he was ready to give up. "I was beaten down, completely humbled,"admits Peters. Three weeks later he spoke to the local press (also part of the bargain), stating," Not only is motherhood a difficult task, not only is it never-ending, it is an impossible job for any normal human being."Bob and Pat were high school sweethearts. After they got married in 1960, she worked as a secretary to help put iron through university. Since then Bob has been the football and wrestling coach at PaloAlto's Cubberley High while Pat raised the kids.Then two years ago Pat went back to work as a secretary at Cubberley. "I had been around children so much," she sighs (叹气) . “I couldn't talk to a grown-up.” She continued to run the household, however, until Bob signed the contract, whereupon she decided to relax and enjoy it. Although Peters had consulted with his school's home economics teachers and the head of the cafeteria (食堂) , his meals were sometimes a disaster. "I tried to slip the butter I'd forgotten under the eggs after they were frying," he says. For the last three weeks, the family ate out a lot— sometimes having Macdonald's hamburgers for lunch and dinner.As for housekeeping, a home economics teacher had told Bob that a room always looks clean if the bed is made. "I found an easier way—I shut the doors," he says. Soon the kids were wearing the same clothes for a week. "I made them wear their shirts inside out, and when we went to pick up Pat at work they turned them right side out so they would look clean."Now that Bob has publicly admitted he was wrong, he is routinely ( 日常地) sharing the child-raising and household tasks with Pat, The tentative (暂定的) title of his book about the summer is taken from something he shouted at the kids one day .71. The couple signed the contract because______A. Pat complained a lot about her doing the housework all by herselfB. Bob loved taking care of children and wanted his wife to have a good restC. they agreed that husband and wife should share household tasksD. Bob thought it easy to take care of the family and wanted the experience for a book72. It was agreed that if Bob failed to keep to the contract, he would have to ______A. pay a certain amount of moneyB. do all the housework for yearsC. say sorry to his wifeD. admit publicly he was wrong about motherhood73. What can we learn about Pat Peters'?A. She was hard-working and selfless.B. She was pretty and kind-hearted.C. She was tired of the child-raising and household tasks.D. She did not love Bob any longer.74. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Bob managed to keep the kids' clothes clean.B. Bob tried to cook good meals for his children.C. Bob frequently took the kids out to eat because he was too busy at work.D. Bob taught the kids to make their beds every day.75. Which of the following can best end the story?A.
