Are you a true “cheapskate” (吝啬鬼)? You are if you do this when traveling: You always use a carry-on to avoid the checked-bag fee. You pack a lunch from home so you don’t pay for airline meals. True “cheapskates” also fly on the three cheapest days of the week (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays).

◇ For U. S. domestic travel, everyone wants to fly Fridays and Sundays and those are usually the most expensive days to fly.

﹡ The fares for Los Angeles-to-New York flights in September:

• Friday & Sunday: $ 365

• Tuesday & Wednesday: $ 288

﹡ The fares for Houston-to-New York flights in September:

• Friday & Sunday: $ 302

• Tuesday & Wednesday: $ 226

◇ For transatlantic flights, the difference can be more startling and the rules a little looser.

﹡ Boston-to-Dublin fares from United Airlines:

• Friday & Sunday: $ 581

• Tuesday & Wednesday: $ 457

﹡ The fares for Washington-to-London flights in a week:

• Friday & Sunday: $ 896

• Tuesday & Wednesday: $ 732

﹡ It’s time for some Saturday fares now. This example features Chicago-to-Atlanta routes.

• Friday & Sunday: $ 207

• Saturday: $ 89

﹡ There were cheaper fares for this trip,but only if the Sunday flight departed at 5 am or earlier. Is the rule on the “cheapest three days to fly” etched in stone? No. It is usually true but not always. So you should be flexible. After all it can save much money. And isn’t that what being a “cheapskate” is all about?

1. According to Para. 1, what does a true “cheapskate” really do?
A．Choose a luxury hotel to live in.
B．Save money in every way during the trip.
C．Fly on Fridays when traveling.
D．Have their lunch on the plane.
2. How much should you pay for a flight to New York from Houston on Tuesday?
A．$ 226.B．$ 288.
C．$ 302.D．$ 365.
3. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A．To recommend some cheap trips.B．To call on us to fly on Sundays.
C．To introduce another topic.D．To explain a special case.

【推荐1】Train Your Brain

When was the last time something important slipped your mind?    1    People's ability to remember has less to do with natural talent than it does with training and practice.

When students want to prepare for a test, they often try to study by simply reading over the material again, copying notes, etc.    2    People remember more when they actively engage with the material they are learning rather than passively receiving it. One great way to do this is to test yourself on the material. Come up with questions about the topic, and try to answer them without looking at your notes.    3    For example, you could write your own outline or study guide. The more you use the information, the more likely you are to remember it.

A psychologist, Hermann Ebbinghaus, made an important discovery about memory and forgetting. He found that people tend to forget information in a regular pattern.    4    The rate at which they forget then slows down over time. Every time the person reviews the information, it causes them to forget less of it — which means they remember more. So, we can draw the conclusion—    5    Over time, you can review them less and less frequently.

Applying these strategies will help improve your memory so that you can access everything you learn whenever you need it.

A．Spend less time reviewing what you learnt.
B．Fortunately, Your memory can be improve.
C．We have no choice but to accept the truth.
D．They forget the most information shortly after learning it.
E．But these methods of remembering are not always effective.
F．It is essential to review things shortly after learning them.
G．It also helps to try to engage with the material in different ways.

【推荐3】How to Develop Courage by Overcoming Daily Fears

Sometimes when thinking of courage, we think it only applies to rare and uncommon situations. Yet our ordinary lives can also be full of courage, even if we are not facing the end of a gun, a wild animal or a dangerous criminal. Courage doesn’t just mean doing heroic acts.     1     In fact, where there is fear on a daily basis, there are opportunities for you to show your courage. Here are some suggestions to develop courage by overcoming daily fears.

● Recognize your fears.

By realizing that you’re fearful, you are more likely to get to the bottom of what your fear is.     2     You might come to understand that you’re afraid of failing or taking chances. You may be fearful simply because you don’t have confidence in yourself. The key is not to dwell on (细想) your fear, but to understand what it is and what you’re worried about.

● Ask yourself what is the worst that can happen.

If you hesitate to take action, ask yourself this: What’s the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then go on to improve on the worst. Is failure the worst thing that can happen? No, absolutely not.     3     Doing nothing is actually the worst thing that can happen. When you take no action, you are sure to get nowhere.

● Take action.

Courage comes from taking action.     4     You need to act to overcome your fear. Your action may put you into discomfort, but you have to just do it. And your action can prevent you from being stuck.

●     5    .

To build up your confidence, you need to do the same thing over and over again. Soon you will discover that less courage is needed because you have already gained mastery (精通). You are able to move decisively (果断地) forward.

A．Share your fears with others.
B．Practice, practice and practice.
C．So you are already in a comfort zone.
D．You cannot think courage comes just in one day.
E．Each undesired result is just one more step towards your goal.
F．Find out what is truly holding you back.
G．You needn’t wait for an emergency to occur to develop courage.
