## 题目原文

00:00:00,400 
 Part one. You will hear a telephone conversation between a customer and the manager of a house-sitting agency. 
 00:00:10,560 
 First, you have some time to look at questions one to six. 
 00:00:44,190 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions one to six. 
 00:00:51,220 
 Hello, Oz House Sitters. Adam here. 
 00:00:54,120 
 Oh, hello. My husband and I are going on a trip overseas, and we'd like someone to stay in our house and look after it while we're away. Is that something you can help us with? 
 00:01:06,240 
 It most certainly is. We can take care of all the arrangements for you. 
 00:01:10,660 
 Okay, great. 
 00:01:12,440 
 Now, can I just get some contact details from you for the form? Your name is... 
 00:01:18,750 
 Jenny. Jenny Hall. 
 00:01:20,920 
 Thank you. 
 00:01:22,680 
 Now, what's your address? 
 00:01:24,600 
 Fourteen Gray Street. 
 00:01:26,920 
 Is that G-R-E-Y or G-R-A-Y? 
 00:01:32,060 
 A-Y. 
 00:01:33,460 
 Right. And what's the suburb? 
 00:01:36,050 
 Greenfield. 
 00:01:37,540 
 Oh, I know it. And if I can just get a contact telephone number. 
 00:01:42,620 
 I'll give you my mobile number. That's probably the best one to use. It's 0491. 
 00:01:51,000 
 577248. 
 00:01:55,240 
 Thanks. Now, when did you want the house sitter to start? 
 00:01:59,480 
 We're flying out on the 25th of September, but my brother will be in the house for a few days until the 28th. So from the 29th of September, please. 
 00:02:10,600 
 I'll note that down. And how long do you want the house sitter for? 
 00:02:15,300 
 Well, I'll be attending a training course in Paris for two weeks, but we're also going to visit my niece in Singapore on the way home to Australia for a few days. 
 00:02:26,720 
 So shall I put down three weeks? 
 00:02:29,160 
 Hmm, that sounds about right. I think four would be too long. 
 00:02:33,320 
 Sure. Now, Jenny, can you tell me more about the features of your house? This helps us to match house sitters and homeowners. 
 00:02:42,200 
 Sure. What do you want to know? 
 00:02:44,980 
 Does the house have air conditioning? 
 00:02:47,340 
 No, we don't like using it. We prefer the fresh air. But last year, we did put in a pool. 
 00:02:54,560 
 Very nice. And are there any other attractive features? Is your house near a beach, for example? 
 00:03:01,920 
 No, not really. We're about an hour's drive away. But we are close to a station, so it's handy for anyone getting into work and so on. 
 00:03:11,040 
 Okay, great. Now, if our house sitter has their own transport, is there any space for them to park? 
 00:03:18,960 
 Well, we won't be taking our car, but it's a large double garage. There will be space for one more. 
 00:03:25,480 
 Okay, great. I'll note that down too. 
 00:03:31,960 
 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions seven to ten. 
 00:03:58,460 
 Now listen and answer questions seven to ten. 
 00:04:05,220 
 And are there any special duties that you'll need the house sitter to carry out? 
 00:04:09,900 
 Oh, I don't know. What do people normally ask for? 
 00:04:14,580 
 Well, for example, one common chore is looking after the garden. 
 00:04:18,640 
 Oh, yes. We have an orange tree and an apple tree, which are both watered automatically, but we haven't connected the sprinkler to our lemon tree yet, so they'll need to water that one. 
 00:04:29,640 
 Sure. Now, Jenny, do you have any special requirements for your house sitter? 
 00:04:34,980 
 Well, I don't know if this is possible, but I'd probably rather have a couple than someone who's single. The house might be a bit too big for just one person. 
 00:04:44,620 
 Sure. Now, many of our owners ask for sitters without children. What's your preference? 
 00:04:50,840 
 Oh, that's no problem. There's nothing they can break. 
 00:04:54,420 
 What about smoking? 
 00:04:55,740 
 Oh, no. I can't stand the smell. Definitely not. Now, how do I know that my house is going to be safe with the house sitters? 
 00:05:04,640 
 Well, we check all of our house sitters very carefully. They have to provide references. But as well as that, you can ask for a police check if you want to. 
 00:05:14,380 
 Oh, yes. I'd like to do that, please. 
 00:05:16,800 
 Okay, no problem. That's all I need for now. 
 00:05:20,580 
 Okay. 
 00:05:24,900 
 That is the end of part one. You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.
