Global Hotel Study: When to Book & How to Save
While vacation rentals are a great option for any trip, 56% of Americans prefer to stay in a hotel. Meanwhile,
Americans are also looking for a stay that’s budget-friendly. Knowing that your day-to-day costs can be the biggest
part of your travel budget, we’ve rounded up several tips on how to get the best price on your hotel.
Unlike with flights, those who wait until the last minute to book can often score a great deal on a hotel room.
We found that booking your hotel 1-3 days in advance of your stay can save you between $15-20 per night when
you’re staying somewhere in the US. For international trips, booking as little as 6 days ahead for a shorter stay can
help you save around $6/night. With these points in mind, here’s our best advice on when to book your hotel and
how to save.
When to Book Domestic International
Cheapest Day to Book Friday/ Saturday Friday/Saturday
Most Expensive Day to Book Tuesday Monday/Wednesday
Cheapest Check-In Days Sunday Sunday or Tuesday
Most Expensive Check-In Days Friday Saturday
Our tips will help you create a good foundation for getting the best price possible when you search. And in
order to be sure you’re getting the hotel you want, we’ve created powerful filters(筛选程序) that’ll narrow down
all your options to the perfect one. These are the most popular filters used on KAYAK.Whatever your plans are for your next stay, we’ll search hundreds of travel and hotel sites at once. So you can
be confident you found the best price on the perfect hotel.

Every week, two converted(改装的) blue buses packed with children’s books carefully drive along the streets
of Kabul, avoiding areas where deadly explosions are common. These travelling libraries stop off at schools in
different parts of the city, delivering a wealth of reading material directly to youngsters who have limited access to
books.
“A lot of schools in our city don’t have access to something as basic as a library,” says Freshta Karim, a
27-year-old Oxford University graduate who was inspired to start Charmaghz, a non-profit organization, in her
home city having grown up without many books herself. “We were trying to understand what we could do to
promote critical thinking in our country.”
While for many people a bus or train journey presents a rare opportunity to get stuck into a book, in some
cities public transport is being used as means of getting books to communities that need them most. Afghanistan,
for example, has one of the world’s lowest literacy rates(识字率), with only three in 10 adults able to read, according to UNESCO. The majority of public schools in Kabul do not have libraries and the city’s libraries do not
offer many children’s books. For Karim, buses were a cost-effective, efficient way to get books to children.
Charmarghz rents them from a state-owned bus company. “We go to nearby schools,” she says. “We try to
stop inside communities rather than on the main streets where explosions often happen.”
The organization is funded by donations from local business and communities, and also rents a third bus that
acts as a mobile cinema. Over 600 children visit the buses each day to read, socialise and play games. “They are
often very excited,” she says. “Our biggest challenge is that so many children want to come inside the bus, but we
can’t have all of them in one day.”
4. Why does Freshta Karim set up the organization?
A. To raise money for the poor.
B. To recycle abandoned buses.
C. To build libraries for the local schools.
D. To offer the children more reading opportunities.
5. What is special about Charmarghz?
A. It’s funded by UNESCO.
B. It’s a state-owned organization.
C. It buys buses from a company.
D. It aims to inspire critical thinking.
6. What is the most pressing problem for Charmarghz?
A. Deadly explosions.
B. Poor public transport system.
C. Shortage of travelling libraries.
D. Lack of support from the government.
7. Which of the following best describes Freshta Karim?
A. Caring and courageous. B. Humorous and ambitious.
C. Demanding and enthusiastic. D. Honest and hardworking.

The British people have just discovered a new country. It’s called the UK! More and more people are choosing
to take their holidays in their own country rather than travel abroad.
In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more and more British
people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays (July–August). After all, the British weather isn’t very good, even in summer, so a lot of Britons leave the UK for a vacation. Particularly popular with families on a
budget is the ‘package holiday’, where the cost of flights and accommodation are offered as one discounted price
by travel agents.
In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became more wealthy. As a result, the Club 18–30 holiday
became popular. Young people started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece. Once at their
destination, they socialised with other groups of young people and had one long party.
British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a
warmer climate than before, so people don’t always feel they need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, the
world seems a less certain place as interconnected economies rise and fall, which means that the cost of foreign
holidays is less predictable than it used to be. As a result, more and more Britons are choosing to spend their
summer holidays in the UK.
In recent years, British hotels in areas such as the English Lake District have seen a large increase in bookings.
That rise is mainly owing to the British staying in their own country for their holidays. In addition, for some foreign
tourists, the UK is a cheaper place to visit than previously because of changes in the value of the British pound.
The UK has always been famous for its international explorers, but now it is starting to discover itself.
8. What is the feature of the Club 18–30 holiday?
A. Young people went abroad with their family.
B. Young people got lots of money from their family.
C. Young people took part in social activities abroad.
D. Travel agents offered a better discount to young people.
9. Why do British people prefer domestic holidays now?
A. They are wealthier and more social.
B. The global weather is becoming predictable.
C. The UK is famous for its beautiful scenery.
D. The expense on foreign holidays is unsteady.
10. How is the text mainly organized?
A. In order of frequency. B. In order of time.
C. In order of space. D. In order of importance.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Holidays and Habits B. Weather and Scenery
C. Travels and Economies D. Package Holiday and CultureD
Tell a child they need to experience another painful medical procedure, and you’ll probably have a kid filled
with fear and anxiety. Tell that same child they’ll have a chance to strike flying cheeseburgers in outer space while
their doctor works on them, and they might feel a little different.
That night-and-day difference in how kids respond to the treatment of their doctors is the reason for Lucile
Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford’s innovative use of virtual reality technology. Packard Children’s lets kids
participate in experiences that can significantly reduce their anxiety — and even their pain.
This isn’t the first time Packard Children’s has introduced those innovative methods. In 2015, Thomas Caruso,
M.D., the founder of Packard Children’s Childhood Anxiety Reduction through Innovation and Technology
(CHARIOT) program, introduced the Bedside Entertainment and Relaxation Theater (BERT). The system projects
videos on a large screen attached to patients’ gurneys(装有轮子的床) so they can watch movies and music
videos all the way to the operating room. And in early 2017, CHARIOT launched an interactive video game called
Sevo the Dragon, which projects on the BERT screen, so the tiniest patients have something fun to do while
breathing medicine through a mask.
“Children shouldn’t grow up being afraid to go to the doctor to have a shot, but certain experiences can cause
strong unreasonable fear that last into adulthood. Needle phobia(晕针) is a common example of that, and it is the
primary reason adults avoid important immunizations(免疫) like flu shots.” Caruso told Stanford Medicine News
Center.
VR distraction therapy is being used for kids at Packard Children’s as young as age 6 in specific areas like the
emergency department, and the tool will be widely used in all of the Children’s Health’s surgery clinics by the end
of 2020.
12. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. Doctors’ favor of eating cheeseburgers.
B. Kids’ fear and anxiety towards doctors.
C. Doctors’ working on saving the children.
D. Kids’ different reactions to medical treatment.
13. What is the purpose of the CHARIOT program?
A. To ease the patients’ worries.
B. To introduce a new technology.
C. To help children to breathe medicine.
D. To show advertisements to the patients.14. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4?
A. A kind of flu. B. The fear of needle for no reason.
C. The immune system. D. A kind of medicine for children.
15. The VR therapy offers __________ experiences to the patients.
A. disappointing B. conventional
C. relaxing D. unreasonable

I woke at 5:30 A.M. after a restless night’s sleep. I slowly unzipped the tent door to inspect the new day. Just
like yesterday, the wind had dropped. It was another beautiful Arctic day. I crawled out of my sleeping bag
unwillingly. I am normally a morning person but the intense cold outside made that morning most unappealing.
Anyhow, it was time to greet Charlie and start the day.
My dog Charlie was up and it was bouncing up and down at the end of his chain looking well rested. I poured
what looked like a pound of dog food into his bowl.
Stepping out of the tent, I looked around for bears or tracks and saw none. It would never be a good thing to
meet a polar bear. An Inuit (因纽特人) once told me that I should watch out for polar bears. He said that if I met a
polar bear, I should keep the following rules in mind. First, keep eye contact, move sideways or slightly forward,
never backward, stay calm. Do not show fear and stand beside a large object to make myself appear as large as
possible. Weapons like flare gun(信号枪) are necessary, but do not shoot unless forced to. Don’t wound a bear, or
you'll make it even more dangerous, and never run.
It was only six o’clock, so l decided to have a leisurely breakfast of a bowl of milk powder, coconut flakes,
and butter mixed with warm water. I sat on my sled(雪橇) to enjoy my first breakfast of the expedition only to
find that after the third spoonful it was frozen. So much for leisurely breakfasts! I added more warm water and ate
the rest as fast as possible.
Suddenly I heard a deep, long growl coming from Charlie’s throat. In a flash I looked at him and then in the
direction in which he was staring. It was a female polar bear followed by two cubs(幼崽) slowly, purposefully,
toward me. They were two hundred yards away.
Paragraph 1:
With my heart quickening, I grabbed my loaded flare gun and carefully walked sideways
a few steps to Charlie. _________________________________________________________

With my heart quickening, I grabbed my loaded flare gun and carefully walked sideways a few steps to
Charlie. Without taking my eyes off the bear, I led him to the sled and fastened his chain to a rope. The bear was
getting closer. Remembering all the Inuit had told me, I fired a warning shot to the bear’s left. But on she came.
Then, I fired a flare right in front of her. She stopped and looked at me. Then she fixed her eyes on Charlie, who
was barking wildly. She looked back at her cubs and waited for them to catch up, then finally moved away toward
my right. (92)
The whole event lasted fifteen minutes but seemed years long. My hands were shaking as I stood still,
watching the three slowly move north. But despite the fear, I could feel deep down inside a real satisfaction. I now
knew that I could stand up to a bear in the wild and stay calm enough to function and still remember the words
from the Inuit. With Charlie’s help I had passed my first test. (64)
