Q My husband and I would like to spend five or six days in the Maldives. Could you suggest some low-priced hotels? We'll be there in November. Jan Davies, email.
A Prices in the Maldives are high. The cheaper hotels (and there aren't many) mightn't be much to look at with unpleasant rooms, iron roofs, old buildings, poor and rough vegetation and basic facilities, but they get their atmosphere from cheerful customers and an untidy, free-island feel.
Angaga ( South Ari Atoll, phone 0011 960 450510), Asdu Sun Island (North Male Atoll, email info @usdu. com. mv) are both a bit like this.
You'll be there in the low season (May to November), when it's still warm. But there's a greater likelihood of rain, so you should be able to get a double (standard) room with full board (three meals a day) for $ 100 a night.
However, pricing structures for the hotels are enormously complex for standard, superior and luxurious rooms.
Q My husband and I are from Australia. We are planning a four-week trip to London, Dublin and Paris in October and we are shocked by the cost of hotels. We have searched the Internet and hotel books given to us by tourist authorities but we can't find anything cheaper than $ 150 a night.

A For Australians traveling Europe, especially its capital cities, is expensive. You may have to increase your budget (预算). However, if you can't afford these costs, then you should consider staying in hotels where the cheapest twin rooms with shared bathroom cost about $ 20 a person in Dublin and Paris and $ 35 in London. The minimum you would pay for a double room in a central area is $ 50 a person in Dublin and Paris and $ 70 in London. These prices are for shared bathroom facilities, though you will get a wonderfully unhealthy cooked breakfast thrown in.
Not, all hotels are equal, of course, and it's a good idea to consult a guidebook with a good reputation.
1.The hotel Angaga in the Maldives _______.
A. attracts untidy people
B. has some basic facilities

A. there is a greater likelihood of rain
B. the weather will probably be better than that of the low season
C. standard, superior and luxurious rooms are all available
D. a standard room with full board will cost less than $ 100 a night

A. They could live in hotel rooms of lower standard.
B. They should put up with the wonderful unhealthy cooked breakfast.
C. They should buy a reliable guidebook instead of increasing the budget.

While I was waiting outside my wife's office building for her to get out of work.I saw a bum (流浪乞丐) coming my way.
"I hope he won't ask me for any money, " I thought.
He came and sat in front of the bus stop.After a few minutes he spoke."That's a very pretty car, " he
said.He was in rags, but he had an air of dignity (尊严) about him.
I gave him a smile and continued cleaning my car.
He sat there quietly as I worked.The expected asking for money never came.As the silence between
us widened, it seemed that a voice inside me said, "Ask him if he needs any help."
"Do you need any help?" I asked.
He answered in three simple but meaningful words that I shall never forget.We often look for wisdom
in great men and women, and we expect it from those of higher learning and achievements.I expected
nothing but an outstretched (伸出的) dirty hand from him, but he said three words that shook me.
"Don't we all?" he said.
I_was_feeling_high, successful and_important above_a_bum_in_the_street, until those three words
hit me like a shot.
Don't we all?
I needed help.Maybe not for a bus fare or for a place to sleep, but I needed help.I reached in my
wallet and gave him not only enough for a bus fare, but enough to get a warm meal and shelter for the
day.Those three little words still ring true.No matter how much you have, you need help, too.No matter
how little you have, no matter how loaded you are with problems, even without money or a place to
sleep, you can give help.
Maybe God looked down, called an angel, dressed him like a bum, and then said, "Go to that man
cleaning the car.That man needs help."
Don't we all?
