However, the disadvantage is that they only provide homes available in London, Los Angeles, New York and Paris.FlipKey This is a popular website for vacation rental in North America, and has more than 13,000 houses shown on its
12、 website. A unique feature is the Best Price Promise, which helps the guests get the best deal.

14、ver, the payment is given to the host only after 24 hours by the company. They also have started doing on-site checks on the houses.

15、 not charge travelers for any booking amount. The house owners can also get professional help from the companys staff(员工) in return for a certain fee.

18、apartment. B One morning there was a message on the answering machine from an angry customer, complaining（抱怨） about her lack of service-service that had been put off because her check had been sent back by a bank. Her message included a curse word. As it is my job to deal with payments received, it
19、is my duty to collect the check. Everyone responsible for the “missed” service was happy to pass the situation off to me. They told me how difficult the task would be and offered to prepare me by playing the message first. I refused, “No, Im afraid it would mislead me.” As is often the case when a c
20、heck is returned, I soon found this womans phone number. I told our customer gently that a check she had written was returned because of non-sufficient funds(存款不足). I told her I always want to let people know about returned checks quickly because the huge fees the banks charge can cause more checks
21、to be returned and more fees to be charged. I told her she could communicate with the bank and get things solved before her problems got worse. She told me she had difficulties because of being on a fixed income and being in poor health. She told me she was facing open heart surgery(手术). I commisera
22、ted her for every step of her way. Not only do I feel sorry for her situation- and more particularly for the lonely state she lives in as a result, but she also taught me something about cranky(古怪) people, something that I will try not to forget.

She spreads feed. Soon shell cut the grass. One thing she wont do is milk cows. Kayla manages the familys cow herd, whi
27、ch until last year meant getting up at 5 for milking, then milking again in the evening. Not anymore. Last year the family built a new barn equipped with a pair of robotic milking machines. The machines milk cows around the clock, without Kayla in attendance. Kayla, feeling so relieved, loves it and
28、 so do the cows. Robotic milking was first developed in Europe and only recently began to catch on in the US. About 5% of American cow farms have begun to use robots. But the machines are growing in popularity, especially on smaller farms. The robots solve a big problem. As older farmers retire, you
29、ng people are unwilling to fill their shoes. Robotic milking is encouraging them to take another look. It not only makes the work easier but also gives them the flexibility（灵活性） to get up later or take a day off, or attend a soccer game. It allows more time for other things. Cows come two or three t
30、imes a day to a robot, attracted by the promise of food. As each one steps up, a steel arm swiftly washes its udder(乳房) and applies four milking cups. Computers not only control the robots but also collect detailed information about each cow. On traditional farms, the farmer pushes the old milking m
31、achines and attaches the machines by hand. However, robots wont save all farms.

Over the past few years, the US has lost nearly 17,000 cow farms. So robots a

36、or years, people have been naming their pets and their kids, in some cases, after famous people they love. In 2016 370 people in the United States named their baby girls Khaleesi in honour of the character in Game of Thrones. Scientists, too, are constantly naming newly discovered species after famo
37、us people. But these names might carry a little bit more weight: While a baby named Khaleesi can get older and decide to legally change her name, scientific names go down in the history books. Sometimes having a recognizable name is the only way for many species to get widespread attention. In Septe
38、mber 2017, researches announced the discovery of 15 new species of spiders in the Caribbean. Spider expert Ingi Agnarsson was the lead researcher of the study. They named three of them after Leonardo DiCaprio, David Bowie, and Michelle Obama. Among the spiders they named are Spintharus(the spiders g
39、enus(属) Davidbowiei and S. Leonardodicaprioi. Agnarsson says some species are named this way because scientists have trouble getting the public interested in their studies. Agnarsson says scientists who discover a new species can basically call it whatever they want, as long as they use correct genu
40、s name. For example, some scientists name a new species after a loved one or another scientist. However, its frowned upon to name it after themselves. Agnarssons team called one spider Spintharus Skelly, after a researchers cat, Skelly. Agnarsson, along with four students who were involved in the re
41、search, also named spiders after important supporters of animal conservation(保护) and action on climate change. It is a way to raise peoples environmental awareness and provide an opportunity for them to learn about the surrounding ecology environment. It also allows scientists to stress some humanli
42、ke traits(特点) in these animals and finally make them a bit more relatable.32. Why is Michelle Obama chosen for naming a new species? A. To show its important role.B.
