17．House-Sitting
House-sitting is the practice whereby a landlord （or"homeowner"），leaving their house for a period of time，entrusts （委托） it to one or more"house-sitters"．It means that if owners of the house are going away，they want someone to come into their house and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away．
In Australia，many people travel．After people retire，they might buy a van（房车）and travel all over the country．（36）A
So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason，they might want someone in their house to care for it and keep the gardens tidy．House-sitters might have to care for pets．Also，quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yards and they need cleaning．（37）BI feel it is a great way of seeing the country，because you go and stay in a new city，get to meet new people，and have time to go sightseeing in a new area．
（38）DThere are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel，and by replying to the advertisement，you can make arrangements to go and look after their houses．
There are some requirements to be a house-sitter．You must be a trusted person，so that the house owner knows you will not steal anything．You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go，so you need lots of free time．（39）F You need to be good with pets，able to care for cats and dogs，or other pets they may have．
Some house-sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owner has a short holiday．Sometimes it is for much longer．We have had a house-sitting job for six months，while the home owner travelled to Europe．
（40）CThen you can travel to many different countries and stay there．One of the important things to get is references from the home owners for whom you have done house-sitting．A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their house well．You can show these letters to prospective house owners and they know you will do a good job．

14．Steve and Yaser first met in their chemistry class at an American university．Yaser was an international student from Jordan．He wanted to learn more about American culture and hoped that he and Steve would become good friends．At first，Steve seemed very friendly．He always greeted Yaser warmly before class．Sometimes he offered to study with Yaser．He even invited Yaser to have lunch with him．But after the term was over，Steve seemed distant．The two former classmates didn't see each other very often at school．One day Yaser decided to call Steve．Steve didn't seem very interested in talking to him．Yaser was hurt by Steve's change of attitude．"Steve said we were friends，"Yaser complained，"and I thought friends were friends forever．"Yaser was a little confused．
As a foreigner，he doesn't understand the way Americans view friendship．Americans use the word"friend"in a very general way．They may call both casual acquaintances（相识的人；熟人） and close companions（伙伴）"friends"．These friendships are based on common interests．When the shared activity ends，the friendship may fade（逐渐消失）．Now as Steve and Yaser are no longer classmates，their"friendship"has changed．In some cultures friendship means a strong lifelong bond between two people．In these cultures friendships develop slowly，since they are built to last．American society is one of rapid change．Studies show that one out five American families moves every year．American friendships develop quickly，and they may change just quickly as well．People from the United States may at first seem friendly．Americans often chat easily with strangers．But American friendliness is not always an offer of true friendship．After an experience like Yaser's，people who've been in this country for only a few months may consider Americans to be fickle（易变的）．Learning how Americans view friendship can help non-Americans avoid misunderstandings．It can also help them make friends in the American way．
