Everyone loves a good house party, but the cleaning up the next morning isn't as enjoyable. Now, however, a New Zealand based startup company aims to bring messy homes and even splitting headaches back to normal. The properly named startup Morning After Maids was launched about 1 month ago in Auckland by room-maids Rebecca Folly and Catherine Ashers. Aside from cleaning up, the two will also cook breakfast and even get coffee and painkillers for recovering merrymakers. Although they are both gainfully employed, they did cleaning jobs into their nights and weekends which is when their service is in most demand anyway. Besides being flatted with request from across the country, Folly and Ashers have also received request from the U. S. and Canada to provide the services there, they are reportedly meeting with lawyers to see how best to take the business forward.

Question 5—7 are based on the news report you have just heard.

5: What is the news report mainly about?

6: What is a common problem with a house party?

7: What are Rebecca Foley and Catherine Ashurst planning to do?

三、答案：

5. C
6. B
