Do you know how to get cheap airline and train tickets hotel accommodations (膳宿)
On a recent flight, Laura was chatting happily with the woman in the next seat – until the conversation turned to fares. The woman, who bought her ticket two months in advance, paid $109. Laura paid $457. She decided that next time she would find out how to travel for less.
Here are some ways to travel for less:
Cheap airplane tickets. To fly for less money, you can buy non-refundable plane tickets tw
o or three months before your trip. The cheapest way to fly is as a courier（信使）. In return for delivering a package for a courier company, you get a plane ticket that costs as little as one-quarter of the regular price – or even less if the company needs someone at the last minute. Recently, a courier flew round trip from Los Angeles to Tokyo for $100; a regular ticket cost around $1,800.
Train passes. If you’re going to do a lot of traveling by train, a train pass will save you money. Buying a single pass gives you unlimited travel for a period of time. Train passes can be especially useful in India, which has the world’s largest rail system; in Japan, where trains are fast and convenient; and in Europe, where trains go to over 30,000 cities.
Hostels (招待所). Hostels used to provide cheap accommodations – in dormitories – for people under the age of 25. Nowadays, hostels don‘t have any age requirements. They’re not only cheap ($8—$17 a night) but a great way to meet people. Hostels are often in interesting places – a castle in Germany, a lighthouse in California, a one-room schoolho
use in the wilderness of Australia. And sometimes hostels have luxuries like swimming pools.

VI. Choose the best answer （根据短文内容, 选择最恰当的答案）（12分）
Fiona McIntyre is a taxi driver in London. She tells us about her work and some of her experiences.
Q: When did you start
I’ve been a taxi driver for about five years. Before that I was a bus driver in London, and I
enjoyed it, but I wanted more freedom so I changed and started driving my taxi.
Q: Have you ever had any famous passengers
Oh yes. I’ve had film stars, politicians, you know, lots of famous people. About a year ago, a really famous actor got in my taxi. I took him to the airport. We were stuck on the way and it took a long time to get there, so he missed his plane and failed to meet his fans. It wasn’t my fault but when he got out of the taxi, he shouted at me angrily! I said to him, “Next time, take a bus!”
Q: Have passengers ever left anything in your taxi
Oh yes! People have left all kinds of things — a suitcase, a hat, mobile phones, of course, even a dog once! Years ago, a woman left a pair of shoes on the seat. And one time a passenger left his teeth here! Not real teeth, of course — false teeth.
And people have asked me to do some strange jobs. Once a doctor stopped me outside a hospital and asked me to take a skeleton to another hospital. Professors usually use sk
eletons to teach medical students, you know. And I did. But I asked him to pay first — the skeleton couldn’t pay, after all!
Q: 5
Good question. I’ve always enjoyed being a taxi driver and I don’t want to change. But of course, sometimes, it’s not great. I don’t like driving around without a passenger, but it’s better than just waiting at the airport or at a railway station. I think that’s the worst part-waiting.
