Moving should be an exciting time — you’re off to a new home, maybe moving up to a larger home. But for many people, moving turns into a stressful experience. It doesn’t have to be that way. Some planning and a little research can make your next move the best one ever.

       Organization is the key to a successful move, so lists are your friends. Write down all the details that you need, especially things that might be lost during the move.

       Once you decide to move, start packing things immediately. You can find all the supplies you need, such as boxes, packing tape and more at truck rental outlets (租賃經(jīng)銷店) like Budget Truck Rental. The experts there can help you figure out how many and what types of boxes you’ll need.

       About a month before your moving date, reserve (預(yù)定) your moving truck. The company you choose makes a big difference. Budget Truck Rental has 30,000 trucks nationwide for you to choose.

       Take care of your mail. Stop by your local post office and write the new address where your mail should be sent. You’ll also want to change the address on any magazine subscriptions (訂購) or other services you receive by mail.

       Make sure you have a group of friends to help you move. If you still have some boxes to pack, your friends can help you put the boxes into the truck while you finish up.

48. The passage is mainly written for those who ______.

A. help others move to a new home

B. offer rental services to others

C. prepare to move to a new home

D. like outside activities

49. How many suggestions does the passage offer for your move?

A. Three.               B. Four.             C. Five.                 D. Six.

50. According to the passage, which of the following is necessary before the moving?

A. Plan your move well in advance.

B. Make sure everything is clean.

C. Pay your friends enough money.

D. Buy lots of magazines on moving.

51. According to the passage, Budget Truck Rental is a company that ______.

A. offers some free services

B. sends your magazines to your home

C. provides jobs for the people who want to move

D. helps to make your move easier
