Looking to get started in housesitting Read on to choose the best housesitting platform for your needs.
Trusted Housesitters
Trusted Housesitters stands out as the largest house-sitting platform, offering an impressive number of house-sitting opportunities globally. The platform’s focus on pet care sets it apart from just housesitting, allowing sitters to enjoy free stays while taking care of pets. The platform offers multiple membership options, satisfying various needs. These comprehensive services are more expensive than those offered by other platforms.
House Carers
House Carers has been around since 2000, making it one of the oldest housesitting websites. The platform connects homeowners with sitters seeking cost-effective solutions. It’s a reliable platform with plenty of listings in Australia, the U.S., Canada, and Europe. This site is user-friendly, with a range of membership plans, making it great for those without a significant financial commitment.
Nomador
Nomador is great for those looking to explore housesitting opportunities around the world. Its unique “Stopover” characteristic allows homeowners to offer free accommodation to sitters between assignments usually in a guest bedroom while the homeowner is present — perfect for an overnight stay or a road trip. Nomador’s flexible membership options, including a three-month Discovery membership, may seem pricey at higher levels.
Pawshake
Pawshake is a pay-per-use platform, so as a pet sitter, you can list your services and costs. You’ll get paid to pet sit in this case, but the opportunities are fewer than other platforms. If you want to travel and pet sit to offset (抵消) the cost of accommodations, this may not be the best option for you. This platform is best for pet sitters who are looking to get paid and compete with others for pet sitting jobs locally.

B
Growing up, the 34-year-old from Flower Mound, Texas, didn’t have much, but she always had paper and pencils around the house, sparking her love for art as a child. By age 11, she was successfully selling her sketches (素描) to classmates for just 50 cents and business was booming.
However, it wasn’t until 2021 that Teo created her first rice toss-up (拋起) art — the word “Hello” — which helped her go viral on her TikTok, earning 3.4 million followers. Her inspiration comes from the three Fs her dad always encouraged her to live by: food, fun and fellowship. “All my art pieces feature these three Fs,” Teo tells PEOPLE. “Food, I love creating art pieces of various foods from different cultures. Fun, things I personally enjoy, such as sports, beloved cartoon or superhero characters, and fellowship, my art sparks conversations in the comments section and brings people from all walks of life together.”
Since going viral, Teo has experimented with dyeing (染色) rice different colors to create not just simple words but also complicated pictures. Her first piece to gain viral attention was the comic book character Hulk from the Avengers.
For her art, she starts by brainstorming her concept, then sketches the picture on her board. After that, she colors the rice. She puts uncooked rice in a Ziplock bag, adds food coloring and vinegar, seals it, shakes it up, and then sets it out to dry before strategically laying it down on the board. The final step is tossing the colored rice in the air while recording the process.
“Back in 2021, when I first started, I failed many times,” Teo says. “There were moments of real frustration and depression after spending hours on an art piece, only to find the toss-up failed or that I forgot to record it. But I never give up and I’ve done it hundreds of times to the point where it’s finally become muscle memory. I don’t do multiple attempts; it’s an all-or-nothing toss-up, so just one attempt.” Teo hopes her videos can bring smiles to people’s faces and make a positive difference.
4. What do we know about the subjects of Teo’s rice toss-up art pieces
A. They are inspired by her father. B. They are chosen from comic books.
C. They focus on people’s daily necessities. D. They advertise foods from different cultures.
5. What is the step before tossing the rice in the air
A. Drying the rice. B. Dyeing the rice.
C. Shaking the rice in a bag. D. Placing the rice on the board.
6. Which of the following best describes the process of making the rice toss-up art
A. Thrilling and engaging. B. Annoying and demanding.
C. Challenging but rewarding. D. Time-consuming but profitable.
7. What can we learn from Teo’s story
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Art has no-border.
C. The early bird catches the worm. D. Still waters run deep.

Hard-pressed office workers in China are adding exercise into their work day by jogging with laptops, lifting lunch packs, doing office chair Pilates. The practice, known as “5-minute quick-charge workout”, has become all the rage across the mainland.
In early July, an internet user posted a picture on Xiaohongshu of a colleague engaging in a quick-charge workout while waiting for the lift, and titled it, “Office workers have their own gym.” The image shows a woman with a lunch delivery bag in one hand and a canvas bag in the other, which she was using in place of dumbbells and lifting them repeatedly while waiting.
She also had several food delivery bags tied around her waist, adding weight to her workout. The colleague called her a genius, saying, “She always volunteers to bring lunch for everyone from downstairs, describing the trip as a weighted workout.” “Since she sits in the office all day with no time to go to the gym, she manages to have a quick workout while carrying takeaway or waiting for the lift, thus saving on gym fees,” the colleague said.
Chang, a copywriter from Zhejiang province, shared her exercise approach with Jiupai News. She jogs to the subway station while carrying her laptop. “My computer is a bit heavy, so it feels like weight training,” she said. “I’m afraid I will not stick with it and waste my money,” she said. “A 5-minute quick-charge workout is more manageable for us office workers who often work overtime and do not have much spare time. Also, it energizes me during work when I’m tired,” Chang added. She also said that the bursts of exercise are beneficial to her psychological health because they help “release some negative emotions” throughout the day.
Others have been sharing their speedy fitness routines online. “Yes, my workout is picking up packages for my boss. When it gets heavy, I think of it as arm training,” one person said. Another said they have a daily sprint to work, “I run 800 meters in three minutes every day to clock in on time. Lately, it feels so easy.”
8. What does the underlined phrase “all the rage” mean in paragraph 1
A. Highly expected. B. Widely popular. C. Extremely typical. D. Commonly arranged.
9. What do we know about the woman mentioned in paragraph 2
A. She abandons working out in a gym. B. She often orders lunch for her colleagues.
C. She innovatively exercises during her work day. D. She enjoys doing voluntary work in her community.
10. What is a benefit of a 5-minute quick-charge workout according to Chang
A. It enhances creativity at work. B. It contributes to a peaceful mind.
C. It helps improve time management skills. D. It promotes physical and mental well-being.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Office Workouts Boost Your Mood.
B. 5-minute Bodybuilding Saves Time.
C Office Quick-charge Fitness: A Creative Trend.
D. Lunch Pack Delivery: A Practical Exercise Approach.
D
Eating herbs and spices could be the key to preventing mosquitoes from biting, a study suggests. Experts from Johns Hopkins University set up a complicated trial in an ice rink-sized testing field in Zambia to find out which people are most appealing to mosquitoes.
In one experiment the team asked six people to sleep in single-person tents which had a pipe pumping out the nightly smell of the occupant onto a monitored mosquito landing platform. They found that the mosquitoes were consistently drawn to the smells of people giving off more carboxylic acids (羧酸), but were beaten back by a person who had raised levels of eucalyptol (桉樹精油). Eucalyptol, a fragrant component of many plants, is a common ingredient in toothpaste and mouthwash. Dr. Conor McMeniman, assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University, said, “Our study reflects that high levels of eucalyptol in your body scent may make you less attractive to mosquitoes.”
Interestingly, all humans whose body scent analyzed in this study seemed to send out some eucalyptol. However, the person that was least attractive to mosquitoes had higher amounts of the chemical. This person likely obtained this compound from plant-based foods in their diet; but it is also possible that it could also have been from external products as eucalyptol is also a common ingredient in toothpaste and mouthwash. Experts think that as well as producing a strong unpleasant smell, eucalyptol may also act as a deodorizing agent (除臭劑) which neutralizes or masks the other chemicals that attract mosquitoes.
“Most studies of mosquito preference have been performed in laboratory settings that do not represent how the insects act in the wild,” Dr. McMeniman said. Each night, the researchers released 200 hungry mosquitoes into the field and monitored their activity using motion cameras. Dr. McMeniman said, “To definitively conclude that high levels of eucalyptol in one’s diet would drive mosquitoes away, it would require a clinical trial with larger numbers of human volunteers which we didn’t perform here.”
12. What does Johns Hopkins University’s experiment focus on
A. Mosquitoes’ preference for humans’ body smell.
B. Effects of different chemicals on people’s energy.
C. Significance of tents in keeping mosquitoes away.
D. Links between men’s sleep patterns and mosquitoes.
13. What is stressed about eucalyptol in paragraph 3
A. Its function. B. Its application. C. Its features. D. Its ingredients.
14. What can be inferred about the people least attractive to mosquitoes
A. They may have prepared toilet water. B. They may have applied heavy make-up.
C. They may have bought a deodorizing agent. D. They may have used products with eucalyptol.
15. What does Dr. McMeniman imply in the last paragraph
A. Previous experiments contradict current findings.
B. The role of eucalyptol intake needs further proof.
C. The number of wild mosquitoes is underestimated.
D. Lab studies are restricted to mosquitoes’ distribution.

What do nine Hawaiian snails have in common with the Texas longhorn, the Florida black leopard and the California grizzly bear They’re all U. S. state animals. ____16____ They are the country’s first-ever state snails.
This past April, Hawaii passed a law to designate (指定) nine species of kāhuli — the Hawaiian word for the native land snails — as the state’s official snails. ____17____ Twenty-four-year-old Kaliko created a movement to have the state protect the snails. Kaliko, began volunteering at the Bishop Museum the summer after ninth grade with two of his friends.
Evidence of the kāhuli’s historical abundance felt shocking as Kaliko prepared and scanned empty shells from the Bishop Museum’s collection. They painstakingly removed boxes from packed shelves, carefully handling the delicate remains of extinct snail species. The vibrant orange swirls of a snail shell belonging to the Carelia category caught their eye. ____18____ But the three-inch snails haven’t been seen on the island of Kauai since the mid-1900s and are assumed extinct. The 8-inch giant African snail and the 2.75-inch rosy wolf snail, are found throughout the state. ____19____
“I think that profound sadness is definitely the reason why I felt a strong urge to do the work that I was doing,” Kaliko says. Studying songs and stories about kāhuli helped them understand the creatures’ importance to their ancestors — the reason why, for instance, Hawaiians traditionally strung together lei (花環) consisting of thousands of kāhuli shells. ____20____ “This is a phenomenon that my ancestors were able to experience and I’m not able to experience,” Kaliko says.
A. And the snails hold another notable distinction.
B. The law was passed as a direct result of their advocacy.
C. The story of Hawaii’s state snails originated with one student.
D. The group once included the largest land snails native to the state.
E. Hawaiians would have also heard the sound of a forest full of native snails.
F. It proudly includes one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of land snails.
G. However, they are among the most damaging non-native species to the local ecosystem.

47. 閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
On the afternoon of his 18th birthday, Tony climbed up to the dusty attic (閣樓) searching for childhood photos to show his college friends. As he moved aside some old suitcases, his fingers brushed against a small wooden box in the corner. Wiping off a thick layer of dust, he could barely make out the faded label “My Sunshine” written in his mother’s delicate handwriting.
With growing curiosity, Tony opened the box. His breath caught in his throat as he discovered a treasure trove of memories. There, resting on a bed of yellowed tissue paper, was his first lost tooth wrapped in a tiny handkerchief. Tony’s fingers trembled as he uncovered every handmade birthday card he’d ever given her.
Digging deeper, Tony found a leather-bound notebook filled with detailed entries: “March 12, 2005—Tony took his first steps today!”; “May 18, 2018—Won the science fair, so proud!” Each page contained not just facts but her emotional reactions—little notes like “He looked so small walking into that big school.” or “I cried when the judges called his name.”
At the very bottom of the box, Tony found something unexpected—a dried flower pressed between two sheets of wax paper. It took him a moment to recognize it: a daisy from his elementary school Mother’s Day performance, when he sang off-key (跑調) but beamed with pride as she clapped the loudest.
Holding the box to his chest, Tony knew this birthday would be different, This time, he wouldn’t just accept her love—he would finally return it.
注意：
（1）續寫詞數應為150左右；

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Mr. Johnson,
I’m writing to share feedback on the Bookcrossing Activity. It’s well-received — students are excited to exchange books and discuss insights, which has sparked more interest in reading.
As for suggestions, I think we could set up a shared online notebook. Participants can leave short reviews, making it easier to track a book’s journey and connect with previous readers. Besides, holding a monthly book-sharing session where we can talk about our favorite books from the activity might make it more lively.
Thanks for organizing such a meaningful activity!
Yours,
Li Hua

【47題答案】
【答案】
Tony wiped his eyes and headed downstairs. He found his mother’s favorite vase in the living room and filled it with fresh daisies—just like the one she’d saved all those years. He decided to prepare a surprise for her too. Then, he rummaged through the kitchen, gathering ingredients to bake her favorite cookies — something he’d never done before. As the sweet scent filled the air, Tony sat at the table and began writing a letter, pouring out all the love and gratitude he’d never expressed.
His mother came back home with a big birthday cake. The moment she stepped inside, her eyes widened — the flowers, the warm cookies, and Tony waiting with a smile. Before she could speak, he hugged her tightly, whispering, “Thank you for keeping every little piece of me.” Tears welled in her eyes as she noticed the open wooden box on the table. “I’ve kept these for you, hoping one day you’d find them and know how much you mean to me.’” she murmured, touched. That night, instead of blowing out candles alone, Tony held her hand as they made a wish together — a new tradition born from the love she’d always cherished.
