【解析】

M: I don’t really know what to do this summer. I can’t afford to just sit around, but it’s not easy to find a suitable job.

W: Why don’t you try house-sitting? Last summer my cousin Alice house-sat for the Browns when they went away on vacation.

M: House-sitting? What did she do?

W: Mr. Brown hired Alice to stay in their house because he didn’t want it left empty.

M: You mean the Browns paid Alice just to live in their house?

W: It wasn’t that easy. She had to water the houseplant and take care of the pets.

M: House-sitting sounds like a good job. I guess it’s a little like baby-sitting---except that you are taking care of a house instead of kids.

W: That’s it! The Student Employment Office still has two such jobs posted. I called about it this morning.

M: Do I just have to fill out an application form?

W: You also have to interview with the house owners and they want to make sure that you won’t move groups of friends in with you.

M: Ok. I got it.
