【正确答案】The student faces a problem that he is supposed to stay in his dorm and work hard to finish his history term paper during the Spring Break: however, the dorm will close for the Break, leaving him with no place to stay.
His friend says that he could spend the holiday with a buddy named Nick. Also, the man gives himself a suggestion. He could stay in his professor's place since the professor needs someone to house-sit and take care of his dog while he is away for holiday in Italy.
Clearly, the second solution is the better one. As the student admits, he tends to waste time when he stays with his buddy Nick and join their trip elsewhere. However, at the professor's house, he would have only a dog for company. He would have enough time to work hard on his paper. In addition, it is his professor's house. The teacher would quite likely be impressed with his student's work ethic.

【答案解析】 题目中考生应重点把握学生的问题，即学生想春假期间留在宿舍写历史课学期论文，然而假期宿舍要关闭。在文中则是The dorms are closed for Spring Break!
