Today’s travelers may explore faraway cultures and countries by booking a round-the-world (RTW) trip through a global airline alliance (联盟). If you’re planning an extended business trip, a long vacation, or a year off, an RTW airline fare may be just the ticket.
RTW tickets can be purchased in economy, business class, and sometimes first class, depending on the alliance. Ticket prices can range from approximately $2,500 to $23,000, depending on class of service, mileage, routing(路线), and number of stops. They typically average between $3,000 and $5,000, although a simple two-or-three-stop RTW ticket might cost as little as $1, 500. Booking an RTW ticket through a global airline alliance allows you to piece together routes on member airlines to create one continuous trip.
Where to begin? Here are some tips:
●Start planning at least six months in advance to ensure the routes you want are available.
●To save on costs, visit destinations in their off seasons.
●If you fly west to east, your flights will be speedier due to tailwinds.
●If you plan to travel extensively within a continent, you can combine your RTW ticket with an airline alliance’s regional travel passes.
●You can often save a significant amount by originating your RTW trip in a country outside the U.S.
The alliances have various price tiers. The SkyTeam global airline alliance, for example, allows you fly up to 26,000 miles with as many as five stopovers of 24 hours or more. Fly between 29,000 and 38,000 miles, and you can stop over up to 15 times. You can plot your journey with SkyTeam’s “Round the World” planner or call a member airline for assistance.
Sometimes RTW tickets are discounted. SkyTeam, for instance, recently offers 10% off RTW, economy- class ticket. Check SkyTeam’s website for current offerings.
1.What can we know about an RTW trip through a global airline alliance?
A. It is only intended for international trade.
B. Its price is fixed according to class of service.
C. The lowest price of an RTW ticket is $1,500.
D. Customers can choose their routes and stops.
2.Which of the following is NOT a tip recommended by the author?
A. Plan your trip in advance.
B. Never include the U.S. in your trip.
C. Visit destinations in their off seasons.
D. Combine an RTW ticket with regional travel passes.
3.The SkyTeam global airline alliance recently offers customers ________.
A. unlimited-stopover trips B. only economy-class tickets
C. a discount on certain tickets D. a new website for assistance

Visitors to the grounds of New College at England’s Oxford University pass under an iron gate with the advice: Manners make the man. Even after an appropriate update to: Manners make the person, it’s thought-provoking(引人深思的)—especially to today’s Americans.
When we think about what makes the person—it’s more likely the degree, the job, the salary. Since when do we count manners as a measure of success?
We do know that these would make life nicer, if more tolerable. Nevertheless, we forget or overlook our manners. So it seems, does everyone else—including, unluckily, our children.
As a university president, one of my great joys is to visit our campuses and see our students though we’re separated by different generations, interests, and, of course dressing, each student tells me something within the first few minutes that we meet: whether he or she has been taught manners. I sense this in different ways: through her words or her gestures, in the way she listens or how he refers to friends and faculty, how she greets and says goodbye, how he responds when an elderly person enters the room.
In the absence of manners, however, I make some allowances. For instance, the many ethnic(种族的)groups that students represent often have different explanations of what makes up good manners. In other cases, some students may reject what they’ve learned to break from their parents and be accepted by other students. Whether students are being different or openly opposing, a recent experience I had with them tells me that there’s some hope for reviving and good manners.
Good manners don’t just guarantee acceptance. Good manners open doors to deeper connections and more meaningful roles in our society. Good manners are gentle signals that show we care about one another and allow us to relate to another person in a thoughtful way but at a respectable distance.
1.Which of the following is seldom a mark of success to people today?
A. Handsome income. B. Polite behavior.
C. An academic degree. D. High ranks in the office
2.The main idea of paragraph 4 is more likely that ________.
A. manners can be taught in different ways
B. how the president of New College cares about his students
C. generation gap does exist between students and faculty members
D. what students say and do can indicate if they have mannered behavior
3.From the last paragraph we can learn that the biggest benefit by good manners would be that ________.
A. good manners guarantee acceptance of others
B. good manners inspire students to study harder
C. good manners help deeper connections with others
D. good manners guarantee students to get whatever they want

“Her grades are fine; I’m not worried about that, but she just doesn’t seem to love learning any more.” Alice’s mum said.
She’s absolutely right. I’d noticed the same thing about her daughter over the previous two or three years when I’d been Alice’s middle school English, Latin, and writing teacher, and I have an answer, right there on the tip of my tongue, for what has gone wrong. Yet I’m torn between my responsibility to help Alice, and the knowledge that what I have to say is a truth I’m not sure this mother is ready to hear.
The truth—for this parent and so many others—is this: Her child has sacrificed her natural curiosity and love of learning at the altar(圣坛) of achievement, and it’s our fault. Alice’s parents, her teachers, society at large—we are all supposed to be blamed in this crime against learning. From her first day of school, we pointed her toward that altar and trained her to measure her progress by means of points, scores, and awards. We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her intellect(智力) ,and that her intellect is more important than her character. We taught her to come home proudly bearing grades As, championship prizes, and college acceptances, and not on purpose, we taught her that we don’t really care how she obtains them. We taught her to protect her academic and extracurricular perfection at all costs and that it’s better to quit when things get challenging rather than risk losing that perfect record. Above all else, we taught her fear failure. That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning.
1.Both the mother and the teacher have noticed that ________.
A. Alice hates to tell them truth
B. Alice’s test scores are not so good
C. Alice chooses several subjects to learn
D. Alice doesn’t enjoy studying any more
2.What does the underlined word “torn” mean in the passage?
A. pained to choose B. guilty to quit C. tired to manage D. certain to decide
3.What does the teacher think of the girl?
A. Her academic perfection resulted from her character.
B. She is a gifted girl with spirits of challenging.
C. She is perfect in her character development.
D. Her academic performance is great.
4.What leads to the girl’s change?
A. A few failure experiences. B. Fear of failing getting good grades.
C. Her mother’s over-protection. D. Her not being accepted by colleges.

“Fast fashion” means clothes that are inexpensive but look like the latest designs. One reason for the success of fast fashion is social media. A report by the investment research firm Bernstein found that Millennials—people born in the 1980s and 90s—wanted to wear a variety of clothes in the photos they posted on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. As a result, many businesses that offer trendy, low-cost clothes are growing.
But the situation is changing now. Maxine Bédat, a woman who is in her early 30s, looks in her closet full of clothes, but she has nothing to wear. She says she hates always shopping for what is in style. Instead, she says, she wants to buy fewer clothes that she can wear over and over. Other people want the same thing, she says.
So Ms. Bédat and a business partner, Soraya Darabi, started a “slow fashion” clothing company called Zady. “Slow fashion” means clothes that last a long time. They are often classic colors and shapes, and are made from natural materials that are biodegradable over time.
The terms “fast fashion” and “slow fashion” are related to “fast food” and “slow food”: fast food is still popular in the U. S. , but many restaurants increasingly offer higher-quality, more expensive and relaxed meals.
Like slow food, slow fashion also aims to use sources that are good for the environment and workers. Maxine Bédat says people in her generation want to know where their clothes come from and who is making them. To answer Millennials’ demand for information about the products they buy, Ms. Bédat’s company, Zady, includes details about the history of the brands. It also describes the process in which the clothes are made. Ms. Bédat says Zady aims to tell shoppers where their clothes come from, where they go, and how they impact the world.
The international business “H&M” is answering Millennials’ demands in another way. It has created a recycling program for clothes. Shoppers who bring clothes they no longer want to H&M stores can receive a discount on new things they buy. An H&M spokesperson says, “We have a clear vision to avoid and minimize waste that goes into landfills.”
1.What’s the attitude of some Millennials towards fast fashion now?
A. Crazy. B. Tired. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.
2.“Slow food” is mentioned in the text to tell us ________.
A. it is better than fast food B. it is the healthiest food
C. why slow fashion comes now D. why people like fast fashion
3.What can be learned from the program of H&M in the last paragraph?
A. It can help the environment. B. It does good to people’s health.
C. It can help change people’s lives most. D. It will take the lead in the latest fashion.
4.What is the best title of the text?
A. What Is out of Fashion B. Fast Fashion Is Not Fast
C. Slow Fashion Is in Fashion. D. Fast Fashion, Good or Bad
