A few things to consider before booking
a flight
Since you can’t
drive to all your dream destinations, flying is
the only way to
go
sometimes
and,
undoubtedly,
the
fastest.
Luckily
，
there
are
plenty
of
ways
to
find
the most affordable fares and also
avoid paying as many extra charges as possible
when you plan ahead.
Fly
during
the
least
popular
times,
Tuesday,
Wednesday
and
Saturday
are
the
slowest
days
to fly, which means cheaper deals than the rest of
the week.______ 36
,
since
many people don’t like to get up before the sun to
get to the airport.
37
.
Some airlines charge
you to pick your seat when you book online,
adding even more to the
bottom line of your ticket cost. If you
show up
early on your
travel
day, you can still get suitable seats. Some of the
best seats get held back
until flight
day, unless others are willing to pay extra for
them ahead of time, so
you still have
the chance at one of those.
Don’t wait until the
last
-
minute to book. Many
travelers don’t know that
there’s a
sweet spot for booking and getting the best price
on your tick
ets. Book
too
early or too late and you could end up paying more
than you need to. 38
.
Fly carry-on only. Baggage fees vary
wildly
，
but almost all
airlines charge them
and charge big.
Why pay for your clothes to fly with you? If
everyone in your travel

party
checks a bag, your bill can be astronomical before
you ever even get to your
destination.
39
.
For
example, make sure all your clothing
suitable, so
you can take less and
still make more outfit combinations, take only two
pairs of
shoes,
plan
to
do
a
bit
of
laundry
on
your
trip
and
bring
only
travel-sized
clothing.
40.
Unless
you're
flying
internationally,
it's
rare
that
your
flight
comes
with
a free meal. Snacks on the plane are
not cheap and almost never healthy. Don’t rely
on what’s on
the small menu
and instead tuck some of your own snacks into your
bag.
A. Pack your own snacks
B. Choose your seat later
C.
So reduce the amount of stuff you pack
D. Eat a lot better, and cheaper than
other passengers
E. You can also find
reduced rates on early morning flights
F. The best time to book is between
three months and six weeks from when you want
to travel
G. Save big if
you’re willing to travel on major holidays, such
as Thanksgiving
and Christmas

Here is a
2-way student exchange in action. Fred,19, spent
last year in Germany with
George’s
family.
In
turn,
George’s
son
Mike
spent
a
year
in
Fred’s
home
in
America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little
German when he arrived. But after 2 months of
studying,
the
language
became
easy
for
him.
School
was
completely
different
from
what
he had
expected and it was much harder. Students rose
respectfully when the teacher
entered
the room. They took 14 subjects instead of 6 that
were usually taken in the
US.
Family life, too, was different. The
father’s word was the law. All the activities
were done with the family rather than
individually. Fred found the food to be too
simple at first. He also missed having
a car.
“Back
home,
you
pick
up
some
friend
s
in
a
car
and
go
out
to
have
a
good
Germany,
you walk but you soon learn to like it
.”
At the same time, in
America, Mike,a friendly German boy, was also
forming his own
ideas. “I suppose I
should criticize American schools” he says, “It is
far to
o
easy for our level
but I have to say that I like it a lot. In
Germany, we do nothing
but study. Here
we take part in many other activities. I think
that maybe American
schools are better
in training their citizens. There ought to be some
middle ground
be
tween the
two.”

Jack
Dongarra,
a
University
of Tennessee
computer scientist, told NYT that the Chinese
supercomputer is faster
than the
existing Number One machine.
Building
the fastest supercomputer has become a source of
national pride, as these
machines
are
valued
for
their
ability
to
solve
problems
in
areas
like
defense,
energy
and science. These problems are related
to national interests. Supercomputing
technology is also found in business.
Oil and gas companies use supercomputers to
find oil and gas.
Obviously,
research
centers
with
large
supercomputers
attract

This adds extra importance to the

computers.
