If you don’t think technology can improve your trip better, meet Judy. When she recently checked into the Biu Hotel in Zurich, a clerk asked her to pay hundreds of dollars higher than the online offer. It was not a cheap stay, but it became more of one after she fired up the Booking. Com app she’d used to purchase her room on her smartphone. “As soon as I showed him the rate, he honored it,” Judy says.

Technology may create challenges for travelers-indeed, it may have led to Judy’s rate confusion in the first place-but it can also solve them. The solutions go beyond making sure of a hotel rate. The latest version of Booking.com is among the most feature-rich booking programs. Users can select hotels by location, make a secure booking and view the confirmed rate.

Another pain point for travelers is traffic that eats away precious vacation time. There’s a new app for that, called Commute. As the name implies, it’s aimed at users who have to make the same trip every day. Just input basic information about your destination and expected leaving time, and the app will start sending you traffic data 15 minutes before you leave.

Another source of travel-related conflict and confusion is money. That’s particularly true when you’re dealing with a foreign currency. The latest version of Travel Money Tracker helps travelers prevent currency mix-ups. It instantly converts(兑换) a country’s native currency to yours, so you know exactly how much that Espresso(浓咖啡) in Milan costs in dollars. One extra feature is the ability to set up an alert that tells you when you’re overspending, which can sometimes be a problem when you’re on vacation. The only catch, of course, is that you have to remember to record all your purchases.

1.What does the example of Judy want to show?

A. The rate of Biu Hotel was higher than that of others

B. Technology can make our trips better

C. The clerk was very friendly and patient

D. The smart phones have many functions

2.What is the main function of Travel Money Tracker?

A. It tells people how much Espresso costs

B. It warns when people are overspending

C. It records all people’s purchases

D. It changes the native currency to yours

3.What’s the purpose of the passage?

A. To encourage people to travel

B. To help people with technology problems

C. To introduce some new apps

D. To provide people with traveling information

I had one pupil,Dan,who didn't appear to get much out of the class.I never had eye contact with him.When I left the class to travel down the stairs to reach the main floor of the building,he moved worriedly as a blind person might do in unfamiliar condition.
One day his parents met me shopping downtown and told me that they were so grateful that I was teaching the class.They said that my class was the high point of their son's week.Were they just being polite?
