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 (豪華旅館), 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 (估計) 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.

試題分析:本文講述如何在旅游中更好的省錢,提出四條建議。

1.G 根據(jù)這一段的標題是Saving money while traveling旅行中節(jié)省錢,故選G 因此知道省錢旅行是非常有必要的。

2.C 根據(jù)上一句話提到Tours and travel agencies have attractive offers for tourists wanting to spend a couple of days on trips.旅行社會提供給游客很多吸引人的但比較時間的旅行計劃,因此選C讓自己時時了解這些項目的更新結(jié)果。

3.F 根據(jù)上句話提到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.當花費一定的情況下,這是不明智的,尤其是如果跟孩子在一起,費用還會上升,所以選F因此,預定低點的住宿可以節(jié)省費用,與本段標題Inexpensive lodging.相呼應。

4.B 根據(jù)下句話提到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可知.旺季的花費可能比較高,故選B淡季旅游。

5.D 根據(jù)上一句話提到While planning you should also estimate (估計) your total expenses. Calculate the maximum amount and try to spend less than that.計劃出你的全部費用,算出最高金額,并試圖花更少的錢,故選D這將會幫助你實現(xiàn)最低的消費。

We regularly hear how important consumer spending is for the economy. The story goes like this:the more consumers spend,the more money circulates in the economy, which contributes to healthy job growth and profits. Keynes, a British economist,went as far as to say that individuals saving their money may actually be hurting the economy. Sounds troubling, doesn’t it?

Fear not. You aren’t actually hurting anyone else by saving money. Strong economic growth only comes from one place:savings. Not consumption. In fact,economic activity should not be mistaken for economic growth. For example,somebody takes their money, walks into a store, and purchases goods. The store increases its revenue.

But what happens to all of those goods and services that people have chosen not to consume by saving their money? Simple:Other people are allowed to consume them. Think of it this way:When you lend out your savings, you are actually saying,“Here, I am not going to consume right now, so why don’t you?” Banks simply play the middleman:they collect lots of people’s savings and then lend out lots of funds.

It takes an unbelievable amount of goods and services to construct a building. It takes food, shelter, and entertainment for all of the workers, as well. Without savings,it is quite impossible to finance such a construction. The coordination(協(xié)調(diào))between savings and consumption is a necessary basis for sound economic growth. This coordination is also why consumer lending (say , to borrow a big sum of money to buy a car) is not productive,in a strict sense. It doesn’t increase the net (凈的) amount of wealth of an economy. Those savings could have been used to construct, say, factory equipment.

None of this means consumption and spending are “bad” things. They simply do not make us wealthier. After all, the final goal of production and savings is to consume. But to say that consumption is the engine of economic growth is to put the cart before the horse. Or, to rephrase: the consumption of wealth can never make you wealthier. Happier, perhaps. Wealthier, no.

1.What is the author’s attitude towards Keynes’ theory?

A. Approving. B. Reserved(矜持的).

C. Uncertain. D. Critical.

2.The underlined word “revenue” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to‘‘_________”.

A. cost B. reputation

C. interestD. income

3.According to the author, which chart could show the effect of savings on economy?

4.What would be the best title for this passage?

A. The Saving Behavior of the Economy

B. Consumption:a Key Concept in Economy

C. Consumer Spending and Economic Growth

D. The Truth about Savings and Consumption

Sydney—A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23.It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month.

The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney's northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked.The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months.

"The father heard a scream and turned to see his son trashing (扭動) about in the water," police said."Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to shore by his father.

Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller: "It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water." He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to shore."There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine".The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries.

Police said the bites" cut through to the bone" , but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures (骨折).He was in a stable condition now.

Several beaches were closed after the attack.Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks.But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy."I don't even know if he saw it," Miller said.

Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively rare.However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor, not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the city's world-famous Bondi beach.

Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise.There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor, which has increased fish stocks.Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to shore as they chase fish.Many shark species, including the Great White—the man-eater made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws—are protected in Australian waters.

1.The report mainly tells us _______.

A.shark attacks on humans are on the rise

B.sharks attacked humans three times in one month

C.a(chǎn) boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beach

D.shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney's beaches

2.The underlined word" savaged "in the first paragraph probably means _______.

A.a(chǎn)ttracted B.dragged

C.bit D.packed

3.What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?

A.It is one of the largest cities in Australia.

B.Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House.

C.There are many locals and tourists on its coast all year round.

D.There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney's beaches.

4.All the followings are the causes of Australia's sharks increasing EXCEPT that_______.

A.environmental protection has created a cleaner environment

B.a(chǎn) ban on commercial fishing has increased fish numbers

C.many shark species are protected in Australia waters
