Home ExchangeFor many travelers, a home exchange -- also known as a house swap -- is a more economical, comfortable and fascinating way to vacation far from home. You arrange to occupy someone's home at your destination while he or she occupies yours. The possibilities for home exchanges are just about endless.

There are several types of home exchanges. In a traditional exchange, you and your exchange partner travel at the same time and stay in each other's primary residences. However, another type of exchange has emerged for people who own more than one home. In "non-simultaneous exchanges," home swapping partners don't need to worry about coordinating dates and traveling at the same time. Instead, exchange partners come to stay in a vacation home or secondary residence while the owner continues to live in his or her own primary home. Then the owner can travel to another home exchange property whenever it's convenient. A third type of exchange, known as a hospitality exchange, involves you and your trading partner taking turns staying as guests in each other's primary homes.

2 Read the following passage to know more about travel accommodations.

• 对于许多游客来说，交换房屋或者临时换房是一种更加经济、舒适和令人感兴趣的外出度假方式，即你在旅游目的地住进某人家里的同时，对方也正住在你的家里。可以说，房屋交换的可能性是无止境的。

• 换房的方式有以下几种。传统的换房方式是你和你的交换伙伴同时外出旅游并住进对方的主要住宅。由于人们有了不止一套住房，另外一种换房方式也随之出现。“非同时换房”是指换房者不需要协调双方的日期同时外出旅游。相反，换房者可以住进对方的度假房或第二套住宅而屋主住在自己的主要住宅中。然后房主可以在自己方便的时间去旅行并住进对方的备用换房中。第三种交换方式被称为“接待式换房”—— 你和你的换房伙伴轮流以作客的方式住进对方的主要住宅中。

4 Are you for or against home exchange?

Home exchanging isn't right for everyone. Some folks love to swap and do it several times a year because it allows them to experience new places easily without paying for hotels, restaurants or, in many cases, transportation (the use of the family car is included in many home exchanges). Home exchanges are also a great way to get integrated into the life of a local community, since the exchange partner will often leaveinsider information about the area and introduce the newcomers to neighbors or friends.

However, some travelers are turned off by having to cook and clean on their vacation, while others feel uneasy about having strangers living in their own homes. And keep in mind that home exchanges may be much easier or more difficult to arrange based on where your own home is located. Someone with a more popular apartment near the Arc de Triomphe isn't likely to want to swap for a home on the outskirts of Columbi

a, Missouri, unless by odd chance the Parisian is teaching at the University of Missouri for

the summer.

Chinese Version

然后，有些游客不想在假期中做饭或打扫因此放弃换房的打算。还有一些人觉得让陌生人住进家中而感觉不自在。但请记住换房是否容易取决于你自己的住宅位置。比如在凯旋门附近的热门公寓的房主是不愿意同密苏里州哥伦比亚郊区的人换房，除非这个巴黎人碰巧夏季要到密苏里大学去教书。

换房不一定适合所有人。有些人喜欢换房，一年换几次，因为这让他们有机会到不同地方旅行而不用支付食宿甚至交通费用（许多换房包括使用家庭用车）。由于房主通常会告知换房者本地区的情况并把换房者介绍给邻居或朋友，换房也是一种融入当地生活的很好方式。
