阅读理解。 Tips for First Time RentersYoung people should know the basics of renting accommodation before they hand over their money.
◎Deal with agent: In many cases, you'll have to work with an agent before finding an apartment,
because they have all the information. Find a large, reputable property agent. Small agents (especially those
that are unregistered), might cheat you by offering a good place with low rent. In many cases, they'll ask
for commission (佣金) before showing you the apartment. And they'll raise the rent afterwards.
◎Before you rent: Make sure you read the rental agreement carefully and ask for advice about anything
you don't understand. Make sure that once you sign a rental contract, you will receive a copy. Keep all the
paperwork you receive, such as receipts for rent and paid bills. They are proofs. If dispute arises, they will
be vital.
◎Upfront costs: Moving into rental accommodation can be fairly expensive to start. You will usually be
asked for three month's rent in advance and a deposit (押金),which is one month's rent. If the place is not
fully furnished, you may have to buy things like a mattress, refrigerator and washing machine. You need to
be financially prepared in advance.
◎Sharing with friends: If you intend to share an apartment with friends, make sure you discuss costs
and possible house rules before you make a promise. There will be ongoing expense, so consider collecting
separate contributions (定期缴款) towards regular bills such as electricity, phone or gas. Put this money
into a special purpose bank account.
◎Damage control: If any damage is made to your apartment either by you or your visitors, whether it
is accidental or not, make sure you tell your landlord about it. Remember, you are required to leave the
place in the same condition as when you moved in. You will have to pay for any damage that is not
considered to be reasonable"wear and tear".
◎Before you move out: You usually need to tell the landlord one month in advance. Clean your room
(or apartment) before you leave. Ask for a refund (return) of your deposit. 1. Working with an agent is essential because he / she _____. A. may offer you a good place with a low rent

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 Tips.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
