2 . Saving money while traveling

There are a lot of matters to think on before going out on a trip. If you fail to plan the trip properly, then money will simply let itself loose from your pocket. Moreover, if you haven't planned a road map of your tour, then confusion is quite inevitable (必然的).     1    

Package tours. Tours and travel agencies have attractive offers for tourists wanting to spend a couple of days on trips.     2     Once you have accepted the package tour, all your expenses during the travel will be greatly reduced. You can save a lot in lodging(住宿) and traveling.

Inexpensive lodging.   Never choose expensive lodging if your tour is a low-budget one. People tend to spend a lot booking luxury hotels (豪华旅馆), and save little to enjoy other activities during the trip. This idea is absolutely not wise when spending limited money on the trip is your main aim. Moreover, the expenses increase quickly when your kids are with you.       3    You can use the money saved on good food and amusement.

    4    The peak season is the time when rates are sky high due to the increase of millions of tourists who can afford to spend a lot of money. You, not being amongst this crowd that can spend generously, must book your holidays during the off season.

A guide map. Make a guide map about the places to visit, expenses of travel and the activities to try. While planning you should also estimate (估计) your total expenses. Calculate the maximum amount and try to spend less than that.     5     Refer to the guide map while traveling and follow the money-saving travel tips as much as possible.

A．Reduce shopping.

B．Off season travel.

C．You must keep yourself updated with such offers.

D．This will help you to keep actual expenses below the estimated.

E．You can save lots of dollars when you don't have a credit card.

F．Therefore, book a fairly low-price lodge to save a few dollars.

G．So knowing some money-saving travel tips becomes necessary for you.

My friend Nick told me story about his experience back in the US, that was very interested. One day he was having a yard sale and the old man living next door come by to help. As the old man looked over the things in the yard that were to be sold, he stopped at a box of golden ball for Christmas trees. On the box was a card say, “25 cents each.” “You will never sell these for that much.” he told Nick. Convincing, Nick brought the price up to 10 cents a piece. Without a moment’s delay, my neighbor picked up the box but announced, “I’ll take them.”

5 . A private sixth grade is set to start its lessons at 1.30 pm every day because the school’s teacher thinks his students will study better after a morning lie-in (懒觉).
Instead of rising early for a 9 am start, students at the ￡15,000-a-year Hampton Court House, in East Molesey, Surrey, will get to enjoy a lie-in and work from 1.30 pm until 7pm. Head teacher Guy Holloway says the move for all sixth grade students, set to begin from September, has been made according to research by scientists. He predicts (预测) that not only will his students aged 16 and upwards get great night’s sleep, but their productivity (效率) will also be improved.
The co-educational school will have the latest start time in the UK, and will be the only one to begin lessons in the afternoon.
Experts say young people are programmed to get up later, and that rather than laziness it is simply a shift (转变) in their body clocks.
‘There are 168 hours in a week and how productive they are depends on how they choose to use those hours,’ said Mr Holloway. ‘At Hampton Court House we don’t think we have the answer for everybody; it’s about what works in our school. We want to get them into a condition where they can get great sleep and study well.’ He said students would also benefit from reduced journey times as they travel to and from school after rush hour (上下班高峰时间).
Year 10 student Gabriel Purcell-Davis will be one of the first of 30 A-level students to start at the later time. ‘I want to wake up in my bed, not in my maths lesson,’ said the 15-year-old. Lessons for all other students at the school will still begin at 9 am as usual.

6 . I was working as an intern(实习生) at my University’s Museum of Natural history when I was an undergraduate in college. One day while working at the cash register in the gift shop, I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.
As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was kind of perched(位于高处) on her chair. I then realized that she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and upper body. She was wearing a little white dress with red dots.
As the couple wheeled her up to me I was looking down at the register. I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink(眨眼), As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me a nicest, largest smile I had ever seen.

Paul answered，“Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised．“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything？Boy，I wish…” He hesitated(犹豫)．
