It's slim?budget time in Las Vegas

Las Vegas? It's where half?price flights are wide open and where reservations are easily booked on a moment's notice. Tourism is down, so rooms are plentiful, as well as inexpensive.

Getting there: The best way to get there from McCarran Airport is to exit the baggage claim through Door 11 and check in at any number of shuttle booths. Shuttle vans that run between the airport and the Las Vegas Strip cost $6 for a one?way trip.

Leaving Las Vegas:Many Vegas vacationers are eager to get there and slow to leave. So take the “red?eye” back home. Most red?eye flights leave around midnight, leaving you with an extra night of gaming, and fun without added expense of a higher hotel charge. You can sleep the whole way home.

Romantic getaway: Las Vegas is no longer all about gaming. The artwork at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art is certainly comparable to that at the Louvre. Speaking of Paris, take a trip up the Eiffel Tower at Paris?Las Vegas. The Eiffel Tower Experience costs just $10($7 for kids) and is unquestionably worth the price of admission. For an intimate evening, don't hesitate to book reservations at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. Get an impressive nighttime view of the Fountains at Bellagio by asking for seating alongside the floor?to?ceiling windows. This is truly a one?of?a?kind fine?dining experience.

Be sure to wear comfortable shoes:Casinos(娛樂(lè)場(chǎng)) can appear very close together, but actually may not be. Know the tram systems that run up and down the Strip. Most tram lines are free.

Shows:Purchase show tickets at one of the many “Half Priced Show” booths on the Strip. You can experience a unique show each night of your stay. Need a look at what's playing when you'll be there? Visit www.booklasvegasshows.com.

Buffets:In Vegas you can take anything to the next level—including eating. Seven casinos on the Strip have teamed up to bring you an amazing deal:seven buffets—breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner—all for just $44.99 within a 24?hour period.

3.3】C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“The Eiffel Tower Experience costs just $10($7 for kids) and is unquestionably worth the price of admission.”可知,兩個(gè)成年人和一個(gè)小孩總共花費(fèi)27美元。

4.4】A 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段首句“Romantic getaway:Las Vegas is no longer all about gaming.”可知,拉斯維加斯已經(jīng)不完全是個(gè)賭城了,由此推出拉斯維加斯是作為一個(gè)賭城而出名的。故選A項(xiàng)。

When 19?year?old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the Make?A?Wish Foundation(基金會(huì)), nobody understood what she was talking about. But Sophia knew just how important Make?A?Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends. We were interested in finding out more, so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say.

Sophia told us that Make?A?Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980. “It's a charity(慈善機(jī)構(gòu)) that helps children who have got very serious illnesses. Make?A?Wish helps children feel happy even though they are sick, by making their wishes and dreams come true,” Sophia explained.

We asked Sophia how Make?A?Wish had first started. She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris, who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman. Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris's dream come true—so, with everybody's help, Chris, only seven years old at the time, had been a “policeman” for a day. “When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true, they decided to try and help other sick children too, and that was the beginning of Make?A?Wish,” explained Sophia.

Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special, happy time. A Make?A?Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world. Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true. They do this either by providing things that are necessary, or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.

1.Sophia found out about Make?A?Wish because her best friend had ________.

2.According to Sophia, Make?A?Wish ________.

3.What is said about Chris in Paragraph 3?

A.He has been a policeman since he was seven.

B.He gave people the idea of starting Make?A?Wish.

C.He wanted people to help make his dream come true.

D.He was the first child Make?A?Wish helped after it had been set up.

4.Which of the following is true about Make?A?Wish volunteers?

A.They are important for making wishes come true.

B.They try to help children get over their illnesses.

C.They visit sick children to make them feel special.
