     Flying across the globe,whether on business or for leisure,is usually effortless-you just have to
book your ticket,pack your bags and show up at the airport with your passport.You board the
plane and several cocktails and movies later,you arrive at your destination.People are becoming
more aware of their smart travel.Here are some tips on how to be a clever traveler.
Easy checkin
     Avoid the queue and check yourself in by using the MAS Web CheckIn (malaysiaairlines.
com) in the comfort of your own home or office.Passengers can now check in online anytime
from 24 hours to 90 minutes ahead of the scheduled departure time (出發(fā)時(shí)間).This is
available for flights departing from all MAS stations-except Paris,Kunming,Xiamen and Bandar
Seri Begawan-to all MAS destinations.You can even select preferred seats online.
Bag hygiene (衛(wèi)生)
     No,we're not talking about the cleanliness of your bags!It's aviation talk for a bag that doesn't
carry any old baggage tags (標(biāo)簽) with barcodes (條碼) that could confuse the baggage sensor
(探測裝置).
If you find yourself arriving in Sydney while your bag lands in Tokyo,it could be because of your
old baggage tag.Another reason why bags go missing could be the printing quality of the barcodes;
bags are misdirected because the sensors can't read the codes correctly.
Less is more
     Most airports around the world now set a weight limit of 32kg per piece of baggage.This will not
only help protect the airline workers' health,it will also be easier for you to carry your bags around.
Avoid packing dangerous goods or placing valuables inside your checkin luggage.Ensure that locks
are properly secured as a lot of baggage locks are found caught between the conveyor belts.
Smaller and softer bags are usually placed inside a tray at checkin to protect the locks from contact
with the conveyor belt.
1.The passage mainly tends to tell us how to travel________.
A.in a comfortable way  
B.in a fashionable way
C.in a neat and orderly way  
D.in a cheap and safe way
2.From the passage,we can know that passengers________.
A.can check in without going to the airport
B.have to check in 24 hours earlier
C.a(chǎn)re required to check in on the MAS Web
D.can select their favorite seats when getting aboard
3.What are the reasons why the baggage is often missing according to the passage?
a.The bags are too old and dirty.
b.The sensors can't read the barcodes correctly.
c.The old tag is still on your bag.
d.The bags are too heavy to check in.
A.a(chǎn);b  B.b;c  C.c;d  D.b;d

閱讀下面短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

  One of Britain's most popular reality TV programmes has returned to our screens for a fifth series.The Apprentice sees 16 ambitious individuals competing for a job with electronics tycoon(巨頭)Sir Alan Sugar.

  The Apprentice is a BAFTA award-winning British reality television series in which fl group of aspiring young businessmen and women compete for the chance to win a£100,000-a-year job as“apprentice”to the British business tycoon Alan Sugar, The Baron Sugar.Winners have gone on to work at Amstrad, an electronics manufacturing company founded by Sir Alan(but since sold to BSkyB), or one of Sugar's other companies, Viglen, Amsprop or Amshold.The Apprentice, billed as a“job interview from hell”, is similar in format to the American series of the same name, which stars entrepreneur Donald Trump.

  With endless talk of financial crisis, redundancies(過剩)and cut-backs, it may come as no surprise that thousands of brave hopefuls applied for the show.The chosen 16 will compete in a series of business tasks and do their best to escape elimination.Not one of them wants to hear the fateful words:you're fired.

  It should also be noted that this year's apprentices are not going, to be allowed to forget the terrible economic climate quite so easily.At the launch of this year's TV show, Sir Alan announced that some episodes have been“specifically made towards recognition of what difficult times we are in”.

  The tasks will as usual be tough tests of business wisdom。team-working and leadership skill.They will also make for some funny viewing.British viewers will be shaking their heads in disbelief at the crazy decisions of the wanna be apprentices.But perhaps the most entertaining feature of the show will be watching the hopefuls squirm(局促不安)and quarrel in the。boardroom.It is here they will have to explain just why they have failed each task so badly.

  What drives people to take part in the show is difficult to say.Some are clearly motivated by the promise of a six-figure salary and some claim they want the experience of working with a successful businessman such as Sir Alan.One thing is for sure.the contestants will all gain some level of celebrity.The show is a regular ratings winner.

  To date, there has been one big winner and that is the show's creator, Mark Burnett.Originating in the US, The Apprentice's winning format has been copied all over the world and with the hype(炒作)surrounding this latest series, it looks as though the show will have success for many years to come.

happy, healthy and helpful" spirit. The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental
protection and poverty relief projects in China.

to keep its head above water during economic hard times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above
water until he finds a new job.
