5．With the summer holiday just around the corner，it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations．Here are some tips to help you enjoy your holiday without emptying your pocket：
Travel off-season
Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts．During the peak season，the hotel and flight prices increase quickly，and you'll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists．（16）D．
（17）A
Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms．Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding．Stay with the locals．If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period，renting a small apartment is a good choice．
Eat like a local
Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new？（18）E．
During your family trip，try new food where the locals eat．This will not just save money，but also provide you with a new and different experience．For smaller meals and snacks，avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout．
Don't hesitate to bargain
Tourist-heavy places are known for overcharging for just about everything．Clothes，travel goodies，souvenirs，etc．a(chǎn)re very expensive at these places．（19）F．Bargain hard to get the best price．
Choose local transportation
（20）G．Instead，take buses，railways or subways，which are always cheaper．If you are planning to stay for a while，you can consider renting a car．Hiring a car is much easier than carrying your bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot．

A．Save on hotels
B．Surf the Internet while traveling
C．Therefore，avoid buying anything there
D．So it's best to find out when the off-season starts
E．Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs
F．For this reason，you should never feel ashamed of asking for bargains
G．As a tourist，avoid taking taxis whenever possible，since they're expensive．

6．Going to college is a new experience full of excitement of the unknown．Socialization is a big thing for college students and it is common to feel a little uncomfortable going into a situation where everyone is a stranger．You may probably miss your friends from high school．（36）ACollege is a great opportunity to make new lifelong friends．The question is：how？
Get to know your roommate．
You may find you have lots of things in common with your roommate，but even if you are completely different from each other，with a little effort and understanding the two of you may become best friends．
（37）CIf you leave your door open，this shows that you welcome visitors．As a result people will naturally stop in and say hello．Closed doors are not likely to bring many visitors and those who stay locked up in their rooms may give others the impression of being cold．Other students will be less likely to stop in and build a new friendship．
Join clubs or organizations．
Getting involved in organized societies is a great way to meet new people．（38）DBy staying active in college groups such as clubs and organizations you can meet lots of people with whom you share common interests．
Talk to classmates．
（39）GStarting conversations in class is a great opportunity to meet people who are interested in the same kind of studies as you are．Short friendly discussions can build lifelong friendships．
Try out for a sport．
If you're athletc，trying out for a sport will do for you the same thing that joining a club will do．（40）F

A．Trying actively to find new friends can help ease the feelings of being lonely．
B．Close the door to keep away from theft．
C．Hang a welcome sign on your dorm room．
D．It also helps you get more familiar with the campus．
E．Your roommate is the first person you will have close contact with．
F．You will instantly meet a large group of people who share your interests in sports．
G．Get to know your classmates as you'll be spending several months with them．

（36）AYou've probably heard the term"you are what you eat．"If you decide to eat sugary foods that are heavy with fats then expect to feel lazy and have no energy．But if you decide to eat fruits，vegetables and make other healthy eating decisions you'11 find that you're full of energy．

1．Many of us have characteristics that are inherited from our families．Maybe we have our father's eyes or our grandmother's hair color-（51）Bfeatures that result from the genes we inherit．But there are other elements of our personalities such as behaviors and viewpoints that we pick up by （52）Dour parents．Perhaps we have picked up our mother's love of cleaning or our dad's sense of humor．Now，researchers at the University of Michigan believe there may be a specific viewpoint we can thank our parents for：the way we （53）Awork．
