       C．No way!          D．It doesn’t matter.

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.

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.

The underlined word “steal” most probably means “______”.

   A. bargain                   B. farm                 C. room                D. price

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.

Where does the writer buy his flight tickets?

   A. On the airline’s own website.

   B. On kayak.com.

   C. On ITAsoftware.com.

   D. On SeatGuru.com.

       阅读下面短文，简要回答问题。

       The World Health Organization estimates (估计) 20,000,000 babies are born too small each year. It says a baby weighing less than 2,500 grams at birth has a less than desirable weight for good health. 95 percent of such children are born in developing countries.

       One recent study shows that pregnant (怀孕的) women in developing countries have healthier babies if the women are given vitamins. Researchers from the United States and Tanzania found that vitamins could help reduce low birth weight. Their findings were reported last month in The New England Journal of Medicine.

       Wafaie Fawzi of the Harvard School of Public Health led the study. Professor Fawzi says low birth weight can cause serious health problems in babies. He says low birth weight has been linked to poor growth and mental development, and even early death.

       There are fourteen kinds of vitamins. People who do not get enough of these chemicals in their food, or want more, often take multivitamins (多种维生素).In the study, multivitamin pills were given to 4,200 pregnant Tanzanian women.The pills contained all the Bvitamins,as well as vitamins C and E. They also embodied iron and other nutrients in levels several times higher than advised for women in industrial nations.

       Four thousand other women received a harmless substance(物质). None of the women had the virus that causes the disease AIDS.

68．On what condition can pregnant women in developing countries have healthier babies?

___________________________________________________________________________

I was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”

At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone! ” And she swept it into the wastebasket.

I stood watching her, speechless .What on earth?

She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room-if you do anything to upset my husband , out you go!”

Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.

After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood（情绪）had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.

58. Why did the author shout at the telephone?

59. What did the author’s wife do after she heard his shouting?
