阅读理解。     Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom
and the experience of being part of a British home.
     What to Expect
     The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least
once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take
an interest in your physical and mental health.
     Accommodation Zones
     Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2,3 and of the transport system. Most hosts do not live
in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential (居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often
offer larger accommodation in a less crowned area. It is very convenient to travel in London by underground. 
     Meal Plans Available
     ◇Continental Breakfast
     ◇Breakfast and Dinner
     ◇Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner
     It"s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your
accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal (谷物类食品),
bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England.
Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.
     Friends
     If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host"s permission. You have no right to
entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.
     Self-CateringAccommodation in Private Homes
     Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main
living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay
student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit
those who need to practise English at home quite as much. 1. The passage is probably written for _____.A. host willing to receive foreign students
B. foreigners hoping to build British culture
C. travellers planning to visit families in London
D. English learners applying to like in English homes 2. Which of the following will the host provide? A. Room cleaning.

University accommodation (住所) offices
     Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东). Others also
provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organization. The advantage of using
your university accommodation is that you can get support if you have a problem. The disadvantage is that
they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students.
Property papers: Loot and Renting
     Loot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are
from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website:
www.loot.com. The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage
is that there is no quality control over the offers.
Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their
website is at www.renting.co.uk.
Accommodation agencies
     The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation
agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number
of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the
right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.
Noticeboards
     Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will
be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online
noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an
excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.
Word of mouth
     Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students
to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students.
However, don’t suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily
going to be better than that found through any other source.
Family
     Faced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider
buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.
