【题目】It is the season for long lines and frayed (紧张的)nerves. Here are some ways to survive a holiday flight.

Lighten up

Do yourself a favor and ship your presents. Nearly every U. S. airline charges a fee to check a bag, so shipping gifts is now cheaper and more convenient than carrying them in your luggage.

Weigh your options

Not knowing what you're going to pay for your luggage is annoying. So calculate your overweight-luggage fees at home. You can find the fees out in advance by visiting new site Luggage Limits which provides the latest information on more than 90 airlines.

Leave amateurs in the dust

Trust us and get to the airport an extra half-hour early. The check-in and security lines are filled with inexperienced fliers, and it's a hard walking. Plus, if you decide to cut it close you may not get onto the flight at all. To reduce costs, airlines have reduced on flights and routes. The remaining flights are more likely to be oversold , especially on busy travel days. Fliers who check in early are the least likely to get bumped from oversold flights.

Take it public

The rates for renting a car at the airport have more than doubled over the past year because rental lot inventories have decreased dramatically (显著地). True, renting at the airport is convenient, but it's just not worth it anymore. Unless you really need a cartake public transportation, hop a cabor beg a friend to pick you up at the airport instead.

Say no to bumper cars

Tell the people picking you up to avoid parking their car. They can hang out in their car for free while waiting to get a call from you when you land. Many airports, including JFK and LAX now feature this sensible choice.

1 How does the author think of shipping gifts?

A. Unnecessary. B. Expensive. C. Inconvenient. D. Wonderful.

2 Airlines have reduced flights to ______ .

A. deal with crisis B. reduce the time for leave

C. lower the cost D. provide more job chances

3 The underlined phrase "in advance" in the third paragraph could be replaced by ______ .

A. in person B. ahead of time

C. by accident D. in addition

4 What's the best title for the passage?

A. 5 Ways to Survive a Holiday Flight

B. Good Seasons for Flight

C. Cars at the Airport

D. How to Board a Flight
