A carefree summer vacation can be yours with these easy tips.
1.Fly into alternate airports.
Most major destinations are served by more than one airport. Flying into a less popular one can result in cheaper tickets. Another added perk of quieter airports? Shorter check-in and security lines, and less waiting around.
2.Use public transportation for city travel to save
time and money.
When possible, take public transportation from the airport to your hotel. For example, the London Heath?row express train takes just 15 minutes to get from the airport to the city and costs under 20 pounds. "By con?trast ,a taxi costs about 70 pounds and takes 40 mi?nutes," reports Discala.
3.Eat smartly, explore and save.
Look for ways to take your order in pricey restau?rants and you can avoid "Are we about to run out of money?" "Don't order an appetizer. Don't drink a lot of booze. " Discala says.
Also, cover more ground by spreading out your snack places. "Have dessert at a cafe or ice cream stand, instead of at the dinner restaurant," suggests Discala. You'll see more of the city and making decisions about where to go for dinner will be less worrying.
4.Hit the market.
Much like reading the local newspaper, visiting a market gives context to a foreign country.
Even the smallest villages tend to have a weekly open-air market(often on Saturday mornings) , while in larger towns and cities, people expect additional market days, as well as big supermarkets.
Markets also sell amazing, wallet-friendly souve?nirs. Think about sea salt?local spices or sauces, and re?gional oil and vinegar. Eatable gifts are almost always appreciated, saving you the stress of finding the "per?fect" gift for each person on your list.
5.The passage aims to tell the readers how to .
A. take a plane without waiting for long
B. spend your holidays abroad economically
C. eat in a pricey restaurant at the smallest expense
D. save money to buy eatable gifts in a foreign mar?ket
6.What does the underlined word "perk" mean?
A. Special benefit. B. Strict standard.
C. Common scene. D. Extra trouble.
7.Which of the following will best help you save time and money?
A. Choosing a bigger airport.
B. Visiting local markets.
C. Having dinner at the hotel.
D. Taking an express train.
8.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Having coffee at a cafe will cost more money.
B. Souvenirs bought at local markets are expensive.
C. You will run out of your money if you eat out.
D. Markets help you understand your tourist destination.

From my second grade on, there was one event I feared every year: the piano recital(獨奏會).A recital 5 I had to practise a boring piece of music and per?form before strangers. Each year I 6 ask my father if I could skip the recital "just this once". And each year he'd shake his head, muttering (喃咕) 7 about building self-confidence and working towards a 8 .
So it was with really great 9 that I stood in church one recent Sunday, video camera in hand, and 10 my 68-year-old father sweating in his shirt 11 rising to play the piano in his very first recital.
My father had longed to play music since child?hood, but his family was poor and couldn't 12 lessons. He could have gone on regretting it, 13 too many of us do. But though he was rooted in his past, he wasn't 14 there. When he retired three years ago, he 15 his church music director to take him as a student.
For a moment after my father sat down at the key?board, he 16 stared down at his fingers. Has he forgotten the 17 ?

"I'm 23 of him for starting something new at his age," I said to my son Jeff.
"Yeah, and doing it so 24 Jeff added.
With his first recital, my father taught me more about courage and determination than all the words he used those 30-plus years ago.

Despite the high technology and investment in flood defences by the Environment Agency, there is no way to stop all flooding—sooner or later nature will produce something that will beat even the strongest defences.
Warning people of this clanger is very important if we are to prevent the great loss of life seen sixty-three years ago. Indeed if the Flood Warning system that currently exists had been around on that cold, stormy night in January 1953, many lives would have been spared.
The Environment Agency took over the role of flood warning in 1995 from the police who had to go door to door or sound alarms to get the news out. The service is being constantly improved and a combination of better technology and increased investment following the Easter Floods of 1998 has led to the creation of Floodline and an automatic messaging system that can warn thousands of people in very little time.
Floodline 0845 988 1188 offers information and advice 24 hours a day and if warnings are in place, callers can get information either from local updates or by using a quick dialling code for their area.
The Flood Warning team inKenthas also sent letters to the people living close to the rivers or the sea and invited them to join the AVM (automated voice messa?ging) system. Anyone choosing to take up this free service will receive a recorded message directly to their home, business or pager telling them of the level of warning, giving them as much time as possible to carry out their flood plan and save items that cannot be re?placed if lost or damaged, such as photographs or children's favourite toys.
1. Choose the CORRECT statements from the follow?ing according to the passage.
a. Many people lost their lives in the flood in 1953.
b. The Flood Warning system was already in use in 1953.
c. Flood defences can stop all flooding.
d. The Environment Agency began to warn people of flood in 1995.
e. Floodline was created after the Easter Floods of 1998
A. a, b, c B. b, c, d
C. a, d, e D. a, c, e
2. What does the underlined word "pager" mean in the passage?
A. A piece of equipment designed to receive and show messages.
B. A boy employed to carry luggage in hotels.
C. A page of papers written to offer messages.
D. A person invited to write pages of messages.
3. People can easily get information and advice about
lood any time of the day from .
A. automatic messaging system
B. automated voice messaging system
C. the Flood Warning team inKent
D. Floodline 0845 988 1188
4. The best title for this passage may probably be
A. Environment Agency
B. Flood Warning system
C. Technology in flood defences
D. Easter Floods

A. Vive la Tower!
Until New York's Chrysler Building was completed in 1930, the Eiffel Tower was the tal?lest structure in the world. Located by the river Seine, on an avenue named after its designer, this 985-foot (300-metre) tower is the most fa?mous edifice in the city of Paris. Gustave Eiffel's idea was certainly chosen from among 700 proposals to represent the city in the International Exhibition of Paris in 1889. It commemoratecK紀(jì)念)the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.
In 1887, three hundred steel workers spent two years constructing the 7,000-ton tower. Yet, it was almost torn down two decades after its comple?tion. Luckily, its antenna(天線),used for telegraphy at the time, saved it. Last July, it looked to observers as though the tower might be destroyed after all, as ominous (不吉利的)black clouds of smoke encircled the structure. Luck was again smiling upon the tower : the fire turned out to be a small one that was quickly put out by attendants on duty.
To date, more than 200 million people have visited the Eiffel Tower. However, it has not always been a beloved tourist attraction. At first, Pari?sians despised it. Its architectural style and metallic composition were not con?sidered pleasing. Today, the Eiffel Tower is adorned(裝飾)with special lights that sparkle for ten minutes each hour, from sunset until 1 am. If you happen to be passing by, look up at this breathtaking monument for an astonishing sight. The Eiffel Tower, composed of iron and steel, is greater than the sum of its parts.In 1887, three hundred steel workers spent two years constructing the 7,000-ton tower. Yet, it was almost torn down two decades after its comple?tion. Luckily, its antenna(天線),used for telegraphy at the time, saved it.

A.1:15am. B. 3:30 pm.
C. 9:10pm. D. 0:00 am.
2. When was the Eiffel Tower almost torn down?
A. 1907. B. 1909.
C. 1889. D. 2003.
