The holiday season isn’t about shopping and gifts. 1. However, holiday travel can be more expensive than gifts. Fortunately, the following tips will help keep your travel spending under control.

Plan ahead. The earlier you book your travel, from airfare to hotels, the easier it is to find good deals. 2. Your best prices on airfare come when you book three weeks before the plane leaves for domestic(国内的) flights. For international flights, consider booking 30 days in advance. Many experts point out that you should book travel between one month and three months out for high-traffic holidays.

Book your air travel on cheaper days. Traveling by air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays often costs less than on Fridays and Sundays. During the holidays, it’s not just about a specific day of the week. You also need to consider the days surrounding the holiday but days immediately before and after a holiday can be expensive. One of the best ways to save is to plan your air travel on the day of the holiday. 3.

Consider traveling overnight. Red-eye flights and overnight flights often cost less than those at more convenient times. 4. Traveling overnight can help you avoid a night in the hotel, as well as save your money on travel to your destination.

5. You can’t bring liquids with you on the airline, but you can bring sandwiches and other snacks. When you’re on the road, you can buy food at local groceries to make your own meals, especially if you have access to(可使用) a microwave.

A. Bring your own food.

B. Consider affordable accommodations.

C. Traveling by plane is not the best choice.

D. Plus, booking earlier can save your money.

E. For instance, traveling on Christmas Day might be a great deal.

F. A great deal of travel also takes place during this time of year.

G. Other choices include sleeper trains as well as overnight ferries.

Jolly Joe always arrived at my neighborhood at exactly half past noon. The clang (叮当声) of the bell on his red and black truck was then the sweetest sound in the world. Brightly colored stickers advertising his amazing kinds of treats could be found on all sides of his truck. The whole neighborhood would magically come to life.

Holding a nickel (五分镍币), I’d run to the back of the vehicle, where children were already gathering. Jolly Joe would jump out of his truck, the sun shining on his hair. He was an older man, short and round, with a pleasant face and a welcoming smile.

I don’t know how, but he knew us all by name, as well as which treats we preferred. My favorite was the Buried Treasure. By eating all the ice cream, you’d discover the treasure inside: a lion, a dog or even a funny clown — printed onto a plastic stick.

When it was finally my turn, he’d put his arm deep inside one of the boxes, and pause (停顿) for a moment, a puzzled look crossing his face. Then, suddenly, he’d pull it out: the Buried Treasure! I couldn’t wait to enjoy the cool, sweet ice cream.

As quickly as he arrived, it was time for Jolly Joe to go, leaving behind laughing, excited children with sticky hands and faces. Soon the sound of his clanging bell would slowly disappear in the distance.

I always hated to see Jolly Joe go, because I knew the rest of the day would be as hot and boring as before. But I took some comfort in knowing that the next day he’d come round the corner at half past noon and once again spread his magic.

1.Jolly Joe was liked mostly by _____.

A. childrenB. passengersC. advertisersD. drivers

2.Why did the author like the Buried Treasure best?

A. It gave great pleasure to his pet.

B. It was the cheapest of all the treats.

C. It contained something very interesting.

D. It was the most delicious of all the treats.

3.Which of the following can best describe Jolly Joe?

A. Dishonest and tricky.

B. Wealthy and kind.

C. Brave and hard-working.

D. Happy and humorous.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Lost treasure found at last

B. A clanging bell in the distance

C. Ice cream man spreads frozen magic

D. My friendship with an ice cream man

“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right", says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people.She firmly believes that there is and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is.In Mollie’s opinion, it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing."If you aren't telling a story, you’re a very dead writer indeed." she says.With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Mollie is indeed an entertainer."I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,’ she says, "This love goes back to early childhood.I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said ‘Nonsense, Mollie; dear, you’ll be a writer.’ So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer."

This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical(自传体的) and gives a picture both of Mollie’s ambition and her struggle towards its achievement.Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免地) brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup(金凤花)meadows and strawberry fields—sadly now covered with modern houses."I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood.I’ll never go back, "she said."Never.When I set one of my books in Scotland” she said, “I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work.And that’s important because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us.”

1.What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?

A.It should not aim at a narrow audience.

B.It should be attractive to young readers.

C.It should be based on original ideas.

D.It should not include too much conversation.

2.In Mollie Hunter’ s opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?

A.Being poor in life experience.

B.Being short of writing skills.

C.The weakness of description.

D.The absence of a story.

3.What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child?

A.She expected to become a writer.

B.She didn’t enjoy writing stories.

C.She didn’t have any particular life aims.

D.She didn’t respect her teacher’ views.

4.What’s the writer’s purpose in this text?

A.To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter’s book.

B.To introduce Mollie Hunter’s works to a wider audience.

C.To provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers.

D.To describe Mollie Hunter’s most successful books.
