根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
In many countries of the world, people do what is called house sitting．It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home 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 and travel all over the country． 1. ．
So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home 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 yard and they need cleaning． 2. ． I 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．
3. ．There 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 home．
There are some requirements to be a house sitter．You must be a trusted person, so that the home 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． 4. ．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 owners have a short holiday．Sometimes it is for much longer．We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe．
5. ． Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there．One of the important things to get is references from the home owners where you have stayed． A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well．You can show these letters to possible house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job．
A． I have done house sitting many times．
B． Thousands of people do this all the time．
C． It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries．
D． Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job．
E． You must take a little care over what your description says about you．
F． This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas．
G． You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country．

Earlier this month, two rock climbers achieved what many thought impossible: They climbed up the 3,000-foot-high Dawn Wall in Yosemite National Park without specialized equipment. Climbing without this equipment is called“free-climbing.”Until now, no one had free-climbed to the top of the rock face, which is a part of the mountain EI Capitan.
El Capitan, which means“the captain”or“the chief”in Spanish, has always presented a challenge to climbers. But the Dawn Wall, on the mountain’s southeast face, is a particularly difficult route to the summit (顶峰). It is a rock formation that is both steep and relatively smooth. This makes free-climbing the rock face seem almost impossible.
About seven years ago, professional climber Tommy Caldwell spotted a possible route up the wall. It took years of planning and preparation, but this month, Caldwell, 36, and his friend Kevin Jorgeson, 30, finally make the climb.
Free climbers do use ropes and other basic safety equipment to catch them if they fall — and Caldwell and Jorgeson fell often. Before starting their climb, they broke down their route into 32 sections. Each section was based on a rope length called a“pitch.”The rope was secured into the rock face to catch the climbers if they fell.
Caldwell and Jorgeson’s goal was to climb the Dawn Wall without returning to the ground. If they fell, they had to start that pitch all over again. The two men started climbing on December 27. They slept in hanging tents, and a team of friends brought them food each day.
The men had spent years rehearsing (排练) the movements it would take to get through each pitch. They made it through the fist half of the climb relatively easily. But halfway up, Jorgeson ran into trouble. In one difficult spot, he fell each time he attempted to climb. After 10 days of trying, Jorgeson finally made it to the next pitch.
Getting through that troublesome pitch gave both climbers renewed energy. They finished the rest of the climb five days later, on January 14.
1.What does Paragraph 2 mainly explain?
A．Why the Dawn Wall is a hard challenge.
B．Why people prefer climbing El Capitan.
C．How to free-climb the Dawn Wall.
D．How El Capitan got its name.
2.To climb Yosemite’s Dawn Wall, Caldwell and Jorgeson .
A. received one year’s training
B. chose the nearest route
C. made thoughtful preparations
D. used special equipment
3.What can we learn about this world, s toughest climb?
A．It includes 32 different routes.
B．It is also the world, s highest climb.
C．It was once completed by Caldwell 7 years ago.
D．It took the two climbers 19 days to get to the top.
4.Which of the following words can best describe Jorgeson?
A．Proud but patient.
B．Cautious and friendly.
C．Brave and determined.
D．Imaginative but half-hearted.

Today, we are told, children don't spend enough time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV — they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.
But now 400 organizations in the UK, from playgroups to the National Health Service, are encouraging children to have some “wild time”. They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park.
Children often need a helping hand from mum and dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids' development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go”．
So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature's playground” is what modern children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children's daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted”．
This might sound a bit old fashioned to you, or maybe, like me, it made you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. There's no age limit on enjoying yourself!
1.What is the best title of the text?
A. Adventures of children B. Benefits of wild time
C. More space for children D. Wild time for children
2.Children are encouraged to do the following activities except________.
A. watching TV B. climbing trees
C. playing hide and seek D. building dens
3.According to Andy Simpson, we know that________.
A. wild time is hard to design
B. wild time is beneficial for children
C. parents know the importance of wild time
D. parents like keeping their children indoors
4.The last paragraph suggests that________.
A. people like recalling the past
B. it is out of date to go outdoors
C. it is too late for adults to enjoy nature
D. people at any age can enjoy wild time
