单选题 I chose State College because its location is convenient. Since my mother died a year ago, I have been keeping house for my father, my ten-year-old brother, and my eight-year-old sister. I have scheduled all my courses in the morning so that I can be home by one o'clock to do some housework and prepare dinner for the family. Commuting to State College also allows me to be with my old friends from high school.

【正确答案】我选择州立大学是因为它所处位置很方便。自从一年前我母亲去世后,我一直为父亲、十岁的弟弟和八岁的妹妹管家。我把全部课程安排在上午,这样便可于一点钟以前就回到家里做家务,为全家准备晚饭。上州立大学也让我能同高中时的老朋友在一起。
【答案解析】[解析] keep house for sb. 的意思是“当家,管理家务”。scheduled all my courses的意思是“为所有课程安排好时间”。commute to...的意思是“乘车去…”。
