6 . Living alone is hard, especially for old people. Besides, some old homeowners might have trouble bringing food and articles of daily use in from a car. Or they might need someone to tell them where they’ve put their house keys.

College students are trying to find cheap, comfortable places to live without borrowing even more money from a bank. Dorms(宿舍) are a choice for some, but they often come with crowded bathrooms, shared bedrooms. And sometimes university housing is even more expensive than local apartments. A Canadian organization, Toronto HomeShare, noticed both of these problems and came up with a way to solve the problem.

College students usually deal with some housework and provide company while living in comfortable environments without breaking the bank. The old benefit from it spiritually. Nick, a 27-year-old graduate student who lives with 75-year-old Maureen Tara, said, “Coming back home to Tara’s family helps me recover because it’s such a relaxed environment here. If I’ve had a hard day and I’m feeling low, there’s lots of love in the air.”

The level of care that older housemates need is different. Joshua is in a poor state of health. His son thanks the college student living with his dad for his help in dangerous situations when he’s not around. “At least, there is someone to talk to my dad,” says Joshua’s son. Students who’ve moved to a new city, far from their families and the comforts of a home-cooked meal, also need to find peace in their living situation.     

Boston’s Nesterly is a homeshare app for senior/student living pairings, and people living in St. Louis’s Skinker DeBaliviere neighborhood can take part in Homeshare St. Louis. The advantages of senior/student homeshare program are clear, and they might just make college students wonder why this wasn’t a choice when they were sharing crowded dorms with others.

1. What is the trouble of the old people living alone according to Paragraph 1?

A．They miss their families too much.

B．They cannot go somewhere far away.

C．They have trouble dealing with daily housework.

D．They cannot save themselves in dangerous situations.

2. What is Toronto HomeShare’s way to deal with the problem of the old and college students?

A．By making them live together.

B．By organizing students to help the old.

C．By making them experience each other’s life.

D．By supporting students’ life with the old’s money.

3. What does the example of Nick show?

A．College students may face great stress.

B．College students do chores to cover their rent.

C．Old people need young people’s help and care.

D．Sharing homes benefits college students spiritually.

4. What does the last paragraph say about the homeshare program?

A．It will include many other services.

B．It is carried out in Boston and St. Louis.

C．It needs to improve its services.

D．It is doubted by college students.
