A

When determining which hotel has the best deal，you might surf the Internet and compare the price．Here are some tips to help you make the best decision．

Look for extras．

The more services your rate includes，the better the bang for your buck．Common extras that can save you lots are free breakfast，free Wi-Fi and kids eat free，so take advantage of them during your stay．

Stay in hotels right outside the city center．

If the costs for transportation won’t make up the difference you’d be paying on a closer location，you can frequently get a fantastic deal this way．You could also look into staying in the university district of a city．Hotels are more affordable，and public transport is convenient there．

Upgrade to a suite．

If your travel party is larger，a suite can cost much less than separate rooms．They offer more space and often have more bedrooms，so everyone isn’t in the same small space and adults don’t have to go to bed early so they don’t wake up their kids． Avoid the weekend．

Hotels in popular destinations regularly raise their rates on Fridays and Saturdays．In some cases，it can be as much as three times more．

Go out to eat．

Though room service sounds really appealing，prices for rood on the menu can be twice as much as you would pay for the same food at a restaurant．

Be a rewards member．

Sign up to be a rewards member of the same chain hotel．Not only can you get points for each stay that you can use for free nights in the future，but also get special deals that can save you a ton．

21．Which of the following can best replace the underlined part?

A．The better room you will book in advance．

B．The more benefits you will get．

C．The cooler trip you will make．

D．The less money you will pay for your room．

22．What is the advantage of booking a hotel in the university district?

A．Choosing a suite on weekdays．B．Eating out instead of eating in hotels．C．Using extras to cover the rate．D．Staying in the same hotel all the time．

At 8：43 p．m．Beijing time on November 3，accompanied by the thunderous roar of engines，a 57-meter-tall rocket pushed itself into the sky over Hainan Province．

For the next decade，the Tiangong Space Station will be China’s pri ncipal destination．Although not as large as the International Space Station，it will have a broadly similar capacity to perform scientific experiments．China also plans to land a small rover(探测车)on the far side of the moon in 2018，which will be a world first．Also in the advanced planning stages is a over to go to Mars．Additionally，designs for a Long March 9 rocket are being studied．With the first launch of the rocket due in 2025，China could very well be in a position to land astronauts on the moon by 2030．

Ch ina’s space program is making progress year upon year．It is quite clear that a dramatic shift in space power is taking place．

Trips Sum up US

You drive down the highway with your family or Mends in the car，camping equipment and spare clothes in the back．Your windows are down and the wind is hitting you in the face． 36 Ro ad trips are quite common in the country，especially during the Thanksgiving holiday，which is the busiest travel time of the year for families and Mends who want to get together．And for students，going on road trips is traditional after graduating from high school or college．It usually involves traveling great distances and camping out whenever possible． 37 But they all show the same kind of adventure．Popular spots to travel to include Yellowstone National Park，the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam．

However，the most famous of all road trip journeys is traveling across the US on Route 66． 38 The route goes past many of the lesser-known states，including Missouri，Oklahoma，New Mexico and Arizona．However，these are not the main places people visit when driving across the country． 39 They are filled with gas stations that still look like they did back in the 1950s and small restaurants known as “mom and pop restaurants”．

40 The idea is that if you have a car，you have freedom to escape，to discover，to find yourself，to lose yourself．It’s a powerful call，one that is part of the US’ identity and culture．An old saying—“It’s not the destination，it’s the journey”—best explains

what the experience of a road trip truly offers．

D．Deep down，US road trips show the spirits of freedom and openness．
