【推荐2】If you’ll be taking vacation time in the coming year and plan on flying, here are some shopping tips to give your undivided attention to.

When to buy

If you’re shopping for domestic flights, check prices on Tuesday afternoons. This is an old tip but still valid because most U. S. carriers continue to release sales on Tuesday morning, and competitors quickly drop their fares to match the better deals.

When to fly

Weekdays continue to be generally cheaper times to fly than weekends for most flights. In the U.S. specifically, the cheapest days are typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. A good itinerary (旅行计划)for the expensive U.S. spring break travel period is Tuesday to Saturday; it won’t be cheap exactly, but it will save you money (in most cases) over weekend-to- weekend travel.

Direct vs. connecting flights

Compare the price of direct with connecting fights. Sometimes adding a stop to your route will save you money, and it might be enough to endure the extra-long flying day. Some examples:

Boston to Seattle: $247 direct, $234 one-stop

San Francisco to Raleigh/Durham: $553 direct, $362 one-stop

Okay, the savings on Boston-Seattle might not be worth it to you, but I’ll bet you’ll think twice about the direct flight for San Francisco to Raleigh.

Compare, compare, compare

Stifle the impulse to go to your favorite airline site to purchase tickets without doing any comparison; it’s a disaster. Example: Let's say you want to fly from New York to London and figuring your favorite U.S. legacy carrier will get you there for the best price.

Airline price: $554 round-trip

Comparison price: $486

Obviously, the legacy carrier did not have the cheapest flight, but wait, there’s more: The comparison site also showed a cheaper flight from the same legacy carrier ($521 ). See what you’re missing when you fail to compare?

1. When could the best price for flights within the U.S. most possibly be found?
A.Monday morning.B.Tuesday afternoon.
C.Thursday morning.D.Sunday morning.
2. What are ticket buyers advised to do?
A.Choose direct flights rather than connecting ones.
B.Take the cheapest deal from their favorite airline.
C.Look for flights to Europe throughout the summer.
D.Avoid weekend-to-weekend flights in holiday seasons.
3. What does the underlined phrase “Stifle the impulse” probably mean?
A.Put off doing something.B.Feel free to do something.
C.Get well prepared for something.D.Force someone to do things he dislikes.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同人们对于向儿童宣传垃圾食品的态度。

【推荐3】A recent article in the New York Times, “The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food” by Michael Moss, showed how companies use science to design food that consumers will prefer. By adding more salt, sugar, and fat, food companies design food to make us want to eat more and more. Moss says people have an addiction to junk food because they are often powerless to resist it. This also happens to people who smoke or take drugs.

Today, one in five children in the United States is obese. Health professionals want to encourage healthier eating habits and remove childhood obesity. But this is a contentious (有争议的) issue. Some people believe that everyone should have enough self-control to choose what they eat, while others say that food companies should stop designing and advertising addictive food.

Moss’s article mentions how Kraft Lunchables were advertised on television to make kids feel as though they were in control of their food choices. The ads said, “All day, you gotta do what they say… But lunchtime is all yours.” Kraft, the company that owns Lunchables, sold the idea of power to kids, and it worked. Sales skyrocketed!

Children are an important target for companies producing junk food and soda. Children who eat and drink their products are more likely to buy these same products when they grow up to be adults.

Many people believe that rules should be enforced to protect children from unhealthy food advertisements. They argue that we should follow the lead of countries like Norway and Sweden, where it is illegal to advertise to children under the age of 12. However, companies that sell junk food believe these rules inconvenience consumers and target the snack food industry unfairly. Others say that advertisements are good because they teach children about new products and can help them become critical consumers — people who think carefully about the products they buy and use.

1. Why are people addicted to junk food according to Moss?
A.Because companies add salt, sugar and fat to the food.
B.Because people often smoke or take drugs.
C.Because people are powerful to resist it.
D.Because companies use science to design and advertise the food.
2. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Kraft Lunchables succeeded by advertising.
B.Kraft Lunchables were advertised on TV.
C.Kraft Lunchables were not popular among kids.
D.Kraft Lunchables advertised to help kids control their food choices.
3. What does the underlined word “critical” mean in the last paragraph?
A.Extremely important.B.Possibly dangerous.
C.Making careful judgments.D.Expressing disapproval.
4. What’s the author’s attitude towards advertising junk food to children?
A.Positive.B.Objective.C.Negative.D.Indifferent.
