.
A frugal (节俭) traveler, I’m on the road for three to six months out of a year, and all that wandering takes not just energy but organization as well. Before I set off, I will research destinations (目的地), book flights and hotels, and figure out what to do when I arrive. To do all those things,I have a long list of websites and other resources (资源). Since many people are now planning their summer vacations, I think I’d share my experience.
Once I have decided on a destination, I head straight for a little website called “Google” to do research. One of the first searches is for my destination with the words “frugal” and “affordable”. Seriously! When I went to Hawaii in 2008, the search immediately brought out the Pomaikai “Lucky” Farm B&B, a farm with comfortable rooms for $ 80 a night — a steal in America’s most expensive vacation spots.
I don’t just surf the Web, however — print still has its uses. I have a guidebook with me. When I travel for work, the information it provides is quite useful.
In order to know about the culture of my destination, I often turn to novels. In Manhattan, there’s Idlewild Books, where all kinds of books and novels sit side by side. But you could just easily visit the local independent bookstores or public libraries. If there’s really nothing in your area, log on the LongitudeBooks.com.
When it’s time to book a flight, I’m back online. My first stop is kayak.com, which searches almost every other booking site. I’ve also started to use ITAsoftware.com’s QPX system. It was developed for the airline companies.
Finally, when I’m ready to buy the ticket, I’ll go to the airline’s own website, because it offers the lowest price for the ticket. Then I’ll check SeatGuru.com, which offers seat maps of most airlines’ planes to find the best, most comfortable spot.
63. What does the writer usually do to prepare for a trip?
A. He turns to some organizations.
B. He wanders around to get information.
C. He consults websites and other resources.
D. He asks people who are planning summer vacations.
64. The underlined word “steal” most probably means “______”.
A. bargain B. farm C. room D. price
65. To know the culture of your destination, which of the following is suggested by the writer?
A. Tour the place and experience it.
B. Watch TV programs about the place.
C. Visit bookstores or public libraries.
D. Read the guidebooks about the place.
66. Where does the writer buy his flight tickets?
A. On the airline’s own website.
B. On kayak.com.
C. On ITAsoftware.com.
