excuse做名词是“借口”，在考研英语中就有体现，看例句：
Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses, he came right out and said he was leaving "to pursue my goal of running a company".
他没有像往常一样用含糊不清的借口来掩饰自己的离职，而是直截了当地表示，他离开是“为了追求自己经营一家公司的目标”。
第2课出现了很多的名词，“房子”是很必要的东西，在考研英语中，“house”有着丰富的体现。例句有：
1
The building has housed some of the nation's most significant diplomats and politicians and has been the scene of many historic events.
