单选题根据下列文字，回答题。If you like the idea of staying with a family, living in a house might be the answer. Good landladies--those who are superb cooks and launderers, are figures as popular in fiction as the bad ones who terrorize their guests and overcharge them at the slightest opportunity. The truth is probably somewhere between the two extremes. If you are lucky, the food will be adequate, some of your laundry may be done for you and you will have a reasonable amount of comfort and companionship. For the less fortunate, house rules may restrict the freedom to invite friends to visit, and shared cooking and bathroom facilities can be frustrating and row- provoking if tidy and untidy guests are living under the same roof.
The same disadvantages can apply to flat sharing, with the added difficulties that arise from deciding who pays for what, and in what proportion. One person may spend hours on the phone, while another rarely makes calls. If you want privacy with a guest, how do you persuade the others to go out; how do you persuade them to leave you in peace, especially if you are a student and want to study?
Conversely, flat sharing can be very cheap, there will always be someone to talk to and go out with, and the chores, in theory, can be shared.According to the passage, landladies are
A．usually stric
B．always mea
C．adequately competen
D．very popular with their guest
【定位】根据题干中的landladies一词，在阅读时可以确定第1段第2句与题干直接相关．如果信息不全，需要再看下一句。
【解析】推理题。第2句谈到了小说中出现的good landladies和bad landladies这两种人物形象，第3句说到真实的情况可能是介于这两个极端之间，即多数房东不是很好也不是很坏，有些房东对房客好一些．有些差一些，因此C是正确选项。
【点睛】①popular在句子里是“普遍”的意思，不是“受欢迎的”。adequately competent意思是“足够胜任的”。②A项是片面信息，符合bad landladies；B项过于绝对，没有提到；既然有bad landladies，D项明显不正确。

(1)Travelling through the country a couple of weeks ago on business, I was listening to the talk of the late UK writer Douglas Adams' masterwork The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on the radio and thought—I know, I'll pick up the next hitchhikers I see and ask them what the state of real hitching is today in Britain.
(2)I drove and drove on main roads and side roads for the next few days and never saw a single one.
(3)When I was in my teens and 20s, hitchhiking was a main form of long-distance transport. The kindness or curiosity of strangers took me all over Europe, North America, Asia and southern Africa. Some of the lift-givers became friends, many provided hospitality on the road.
(4)Not only did you find out much more about a country than when traveling by train or plane, but there was that element of excitement about where you would finish up that night. Hitchhiking featured importantly in Western culture. It has books and songs about it. So what has happened to it?
(5)A few years ago, I asked the same question about hitching in a column of a newspaper Hundreds of people from all over the world responded with their view on the state of hitchhiking.
(6)Rural Ireland was recommended as a friendly place for hitching, as was Quebec, Canada--"if you don't mind being criticized for not speaking French".
(7)But while hitchhiking was clearly still alive and well in some places, the general feeling was that throughout much of the west it was doomed.
(8)With so much news about crime in the media, people assumed that anyone on the open mad without the money for even a bus ticket must present a danger. But do we need to be so wary both to hitch and to give a lift?
(9)In Poland in the 1960s, according to a Polish woman who e-mailed me, "the authorities introduced the Hitchhiker's Booklet. The booklet contained coupons for drivers, so each time a driver picked somebody , he or she received a coupon. At the end of the season, drivers who had picked up the most hikers were rewarded with various prizes. Everyone was hitchhiking then."
(10)Surely this is a good idea for society. Hitchhiking would increase respect by breaking down barriers between strangers. It would help fight global warming by cutting down on fuel consumption as hitchhikers would be using existing fuels. It would also improve educational standards by delivering instant lessons in geography, history, politics and sociology.
(11)A century before Douglas Adams wrote his Hitchhiker's Guide, another adventure story writer Robert Louis Stevenson, gave us what should be the hitchhiker's motto: "To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive."
What better time than putting a holiday weekend into practice. Either put it to the test yourself, or help out someone who is trying to travel hopefully with his thumb outstretched.
In which paragraph(s) does the writer comment on his experience of hitchhiking?
A. (3).&nb
