题目内容

Exploit your parking space

An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement（广告）for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.

Rent（出租）a room

Spare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommate easy.

Make money during special events

Don’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money, Grashpadder can advertise your space.

Live on set

Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.

Use your roof

You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment(around￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.

1.If you earn ￡5000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ______.

A. ￡500 B. ￡800 C. ￡4500 D.5000

2.Where can you put an advertisement to rent out a room during a big event?

A. On Letpark. B. On Grashpadder.

C. On Roomspare. D. On Roommateeasy.

3.If you want to use energy free, you have to_____.

A. sign an agreement with the government

B. pay around ￡14,000 for the equipment

C. keep the roof unchanged for within 25 years

D. sell the roof to some energy companies

4.For whom the text most probably written?

A. Lodgers. B. Advertisers.

C. Online companies D. House owners.
