Mary: I really don't know what to do this summer. I can't afford to just sit around, and there don't seem to be any jobs        . （avail）
Lucy: Why don't you try house-sitting? Last summer my friend Margaret house-sat for the Dodds when they went away    vacation. Mr. Dodd      (hire) Margaret to stay in their house because he didn't want       left empty.
Mary: You mean the Dodds paid Margaret just to live in their house?
Lucy: It wasn't that       (ease). She had to mow the lawn and water the house plants. And    Eric house-sat for Dr. Cohen, he had to take care of her pats.
Mary: House-sitting sounds like a good job. I guess it's little like baby-sitting, except you're taking care of the house instead of       (child).
Lucy: The Student Employment Office still has a few jobs        (post).
Mary: Do you have to fill out      application?
Lucy: Margaret and Eric had to interview with the homeowners and provide three references each.
Mary: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.
Lucy: Well, the homeowners want some guarantee that they    trust the house-sitter.
