Passage 6 Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Many Londoners would be envious of places Matthew Anderson has lived in:the likes of Broadway Market, Angel, Camden, and Little Venice are amongst the city's most trendy and expensive. Many more would long for his electricity bill: £600 for the next 15 years. How, then, is he only 24 and a resident of London for just two years? Anderson, an actor, is part of a booming trend for houseboat living among young Londoners. And specifically for what's known as a“continuous cruising”, meaning for around £800, which covers your annual insurance and boat license, you can moor up(停泊) wherever you want... but only if you move every two weeks. Houseboats, and narrowboats in particular, are peculiarly British. They were originally working boats during the Industrial Revolution. While the industrial need for narrowboats has long diminished, the nation's love for them hasn't. But until recently, only a small and hardy community actually lived on them, and fewer still constantly cruised. That's changing. Many people are fleeing London's ever escalating property prices, where house prices have risen 86% since 2009, for a life on the water. But life on a houseboat is not for everyone. It is a bit too small and the lack of space is inescapable “But it's been a lifesaver for me,” says Anderson. “You have to work so much in London just to pay your rent.” Before buying the boat year ago, he lived in the north London suburb, paying £550 a month in rent for a room in a house, not including bills. Now, he says, his monthly expenses "work out at around £200," which includes paying off the loan to buy the boat. Meanwhile, solar panels on his roof run his lighting, charge his phone and laptop and power the water pump. Because of the savings, Anderson says, he was able to take an unpaid acting job, which got him a part in a Channel 4 series called Humans, which then helped him get a role in the film Borstal. "You can't do that if you're paying rent,"he says. But it's also a lifestyle choice. "That feeling when you move house and a fresh start-you get that every two weeks!" Boaters are different kind of community. Atypically(非典型地) for London, houseboating can be cheap. But typically for London, it's crowded and, while it can be rewarding, it's not necessarily for everyone.  How much does Anderson pay now for his monthly expenses?
