Most people who took vacations were happier than non-vacationers. So why not start planning your next trip right now? Here are the 4 places you can visit in 2017.

New Zealand

No doubt, many readers—particularly those who love outdoor recreation—will have dreamed of visiting beautiful New Zealand. Now may be the time to do it. The number of airline seats available to travelers going to New Zealand has roughly doubled in the past year, which means you can get relative deals on airfare to the country.

United Kingdom

It won’t be cheap to visit the U. K., but, it will be cheaper than it has been in years, experts say. The pound has fallen significantly against the dollar in recent months, and airfares are good deals now, too. One of the best ways to get deals is to book a hotel-and-airfare package.

The Gulf Coast of Florida

The western edge of the Sunshine State includes such cities as Clearwater, Tampa and St. Petersburg and is known for blue waters and sugar-sand beaches—and, more recently, for relaxing beach vacations on a budget. Seven new hotels opened in that area in 2016, offering extra value of consumers.

Iceland

This country has been on budget travelers’ radar for a number of years, but it’s still offering plenty of deals. Hotels in the country are reasonable. Three-star hotels in May coast about $130 per night and in January $180 per night. One thing not to miss in Iceland: seeing the Northern Lights, best done from October to March.

1.Which destination is especially recommended for tourists who prefer outdoor activity?

A. New Zealand. B. United Kingdom.

C. The Gulf Coast of Florida. D. Iceland.

2.In which month should you go to visit Iceland if you want to save money?

A. January. B. March. C. May. D. October.

3.What benefits can the four places offer tourists?

A. Nice food and goods.

B. Cheap airlines or admission fees.

C. Convenient service and transport.

D. Economical flights or accommodations.

It’s 8:30, time for John to start work. So he turns on his radio. Then he eats breakfast. As he eats, he reads his e-mail and reviews his to-do list. Then he sits on the sofa and thinks about an article he needs to write ... Wait a minute! Radio? Breakfast? Sofa? What kind of workplace is this? Well, actually it is John’s house, and he is a telecommuter — he works at home, communicating with the workplace through the Internet.

Like John, millions of people — and their employers — are finding that telecommuting is a great way to work. Telecommuters can work on their own schedule(預(yù)定表). They work in the comfort of homes, where they can also look after young children or elderly parents. They save time and money by not traveling to work. Their employers save, too, because they need less office space and furniture. Studies show that telecommuters change jobs less often. This saves employers even more money. Telecommuting helps society, too, by reducing pollution and traffic problems.

Jobs that are suited to telecommuting include writing, design work, computer programming and accounting. If a job is related to working with information, a telecommuter can probably do it.

A. get along well with other workers
