    (E)
    Free 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 students to 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 of the 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 ￡10 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 shown that 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.”
    71. A “cash-strapped” student means one who __________.
    A. lacks money                        B. prefers to stay at home
    C. is careful with money             D. wants to change cash
    72. 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. To help students spend less on accommodation costs. 
    D.To let students exchange ideas freely online.
    73. What can students do on Student Swaps?
    A. They can find students to exchange homes with.
    B. 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.

    A. which can give them free accommodation            
    B. which is not far away from their homes
    C. which offers the best courses

    Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: "How do I get a good job?"   1.  .

    There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and find the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in-person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time.    2.  . He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the young man offered to take his place.    3.   .

     4.  . If the young man had gone home to ponder（考虑）his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.

    Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to get plum jobs（美差）. When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying.    5.. And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.

    A．This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.

    B．People find jobs in an limitless number of ways.

    C．It's almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers.

    D．Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.

    E．But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer

    all the company's faults.

    F．He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.

    G．It is very important to seize an opportunity when you are given one.
