Booking a trip on an online travel site is convenient, but comes with its own set of problems.

◆They know who’s gone to spend more.

Last year, U. S travel research company Orbitz tracked people’s online activities to test out whether Mac users spend more on travel than PC users. Turns out that on average, Mac users lay out US $ 20~30 more per night on hotels. As a result, online travel sites show these users more expensive travel options first. To avoid paying more, sort results by price.

◆Their software doesn’t always link to the hotel’s system.

A guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywhere — but the risk of your flight or hotel being overbooked increases with third-party providers. The middleman’s software isn’t immune(防護(hù)作用的) to system errors, so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking was processed.

◆You could miss out on loyalty (積分) points.

Third party providers can get between you and frequent flyer miles or points. Many hotel loyalty programs don’t recognize external sites, others award only minimum points without special offers, like double points on hotel stays.

◆Don’t be fooled by packages: Often, they’re low-end items grouped together.

Ever notice how travel sites recommend a hotel, a rental car, and tour package all in one click. These deals usually feature travel that no one wants, like flights with multiple layovers(中途停留). Check the fine print.

◆Once your trip is purchased, you’re on your own.

An online travel agency can’t provide assistance the same way an agent can if a flight is cancelled or a room is substandard. Basically, when you arrive at the airport or hotel, you’re just another customer who booked at the lowest rate.

1.What does the writer mainly intend to tell readers?

A. Tips of how to reserve flights on line.

B. Problems of reserving a hotel on line.

C. Notices about reserving a trip on line.

D. Traps in reserving hotels and flights on line.

2.Why do people probably spend more on their online reservation for trips?

A. They book at prices offered first by travel sites.

B. They are shown less expensive travel options first.

C. Some of the travel expenses are earned by Mac users.

D. Their flights or hotels are overbooked by tourist agencies.

3.Which of the following can replace the underlined “fine print”?

A. Detailed items. B. Discounted prices.

C. Good deals. D. Special services.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A. The third parties will provide good travel services on line.

B. Few people book trips on line because of possible troubles.

C. Travelers’ interests may not be guaranteed with booking on line.

D. Those booking trips on line will benefit much from loyalty points

He is a Time Lord who can travel anywhere he wants in time, but still never seems to be happy. He is always very well dressed. He refuses to use guns to kill anybody, preferring to trust his brains. Who could be a better hero for British people? He is the Doctor, hero of the popular BBC TV series Doctor Who, which celebrated the 10th anniversary of its 2005 reboot on March 26.

In 2005 the sci-fi TV series returned to British screens after originally running from 1963 until 1989. In the series, the Doctor travels through time in his TARDIS police box, saving Earth and other planets from dangerous aliens and humans.

The show looked a little different upon its 2005 return — the show used to be famous for cheap, ugly special effects but they were gone, replaced by expensive computer effects and attractive young stars. Christopher Eccleston played the Ninth Doctor in 2005, and there have been four more since, including the current Twelfth Doctor, Peter Capaldi.

You may wonder why the Doctor has been played by so many people, thirteen in total. This is because every few years, the doctor “regenerates”,which means his character "dies” but comes back to life with a completely new body afterwards. As the Radio Times put it:“Who else can cheat death by getting a whole new face?”

The show has no limits. The Doctor has already visited the time of Shakespeare, found out the truth about the American moon landing of 1969’ and gone back to the very early days of Earth. He has also traveled forward in time and been to many strange planets. Who knows where he’ll go in the next 10 years? Or if the Doctor will even be a man? Last year, head writer Steven Moffat told BANG Showbiz ii is very possible that a woman will play the Doctor in the future

Are you ready for more travels with him or her through time?

1.What is the article mainly about?

A. The actors who have played the hero in Doctor Who.

B. A brief introduction to the BBC TV series Doctor Who.

C. What inspired the producers to make Doctor Who.

D. What influence Doctor Who has had on other sci-fi TV shows.

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Doctor in Doctor Who?

A. Although he is always well dressed, he is very cruel inside.

B. He has gone through 10 “regenerations” in the past decade.

C. He is better at solving problems with his guns than with his brains.

D. His mission is to protect Earth and other planets from attack.

3.What can we learn about Doctor Who from the article?

A. In 2005, BBC producers started a new Doctor Who series after a 42-year break.

B. The show looked more fashionable and attractive upon its 2005 return.

C. The producers use creative but cheap special effects in the new Doctor Who series.

D. Doctor Who is quite popular in Britain because it was the first British sci-fi show.

4.We can conclude from the second-to-last paragraph that the Doctor Who series ________.

A. is very imaginative

B. seems hard to understand

C. involves scientific discoveries

D. is an accurate reflection of human history

Thirteen years ago, my brother died. I was in sever sorrow. I remember putting one foot in front of the other—things needed to get done, tasks, completed—but feeling terribly empty inside. Four years later, I has still not gotten a job. My savings had run out.

In 2010, I began to think about rebuilding my life. When I was out walking my dog, Macarena, whom I had bought a year after my brother’s death, I had the feeling that if I could get control over my hair, I could get control over life.

My hair has annoyed me for most of my life. It’s huge, curly and has a life all its own. I have countless hair stories that could easily become horror stories! For example, once my mother took me to get my hair done at a beauty salon and the stylist gave me a cut that looked like a monster!

Now, you see why mastering my hair was so important to me. I watched countless YouTube videos from a community of women who shared hairstyles, which was a do-it-yourself community I was inspired by. As I started to develop a more loving relationship with my hair, I realized my curly hair was teaching me a lot about patience. That shedding (脫落) is an important part of the “l(fā)etting go” process to make way for the new. Our hair is the only part we can cut off, grow back, color, curl and straighten. The only thing we can change at will is to tell the world who we are.

Now I’m the captain of my ship. But for my hair, I would never have known that.

A. Saving on a tight budget.

A. Everyone should learn to love himself and care for others.

B. Changing oneself takes patience and is a way to control his life.

C. It is necessary to forget one’s past and live in harmony with nature.

Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain(保持) a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins(內(nèi)啡肽), and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.

Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (監(jiān)管) of a fitness instructor. If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track. Don't let fitness frighten you!

If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!

Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Don't let negativity ruin your motivation.

1.The first paragraph focuses on _______.

A. the greatest challenge of group exercise B. the most effective way to improve physical fitness
