Many students feel that living in a private home in Britain will be a help to them in learning English, and will also be a good experience in itself. Younger students may feel h 81 in a home than in a hotel, for they can have someone caring for them like their parents. Many British people like to be the "host" to tourists around the world, especially to f 82 students. This is not just because being a host will bring in some extra money, but because they really enjoy
letting someone from a different country live in their house and s 83 part of their daily life.
A "host" family does not always consist of two parents with children. People like this are often too busy to take care of a student b 84 their own children. However, a widow(寡妇), or a couple whose children are away at school or grown up, often make excellent "host", for they have enough time to spare.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题） ( 12分)
It began with one red paper clip(回形针) and ended with a house. Kyle MacDonald, a 26-year-old Canadian, got a three-bedroomed house through 14 trades(交换).
Seeing Kyle's successful experience, now more and more young people around the world are starting their own trading activities. They set up websites where people can trade things they do not usually use with other people. A website called Peerfix allows people to trade their used DVDs. These traders usually prefer face-to-face trading, which means they don't have to worry about who is going to pay for the delivery.
Last year, a young girl in Beijing decided to follow the example of Kyle. She started with a paper clip and hoped to get a house in the end. After several trades she now has a piano which is worth more than 10,000 yuan. But she may still have a long way to go.
You may wonder why people are so interested in those trading activities. If you ask Kyle, he will say, "To a man dying of thirst(干渴) in the desert, a glass of water is surely more useful than one million dollars, isn't it?" Kyle's words probably show why these trades are popular among young people.
88. Did Kyle start his trade with a house?
89. Where does Kyle come from?
90. How do young people start their trading activities?
91. Why do some traders like face-to-face trading?
92. What has the girl in Beijing got after several trades?
