These days when you go on vacation, you spend most of your money just getting there. Travel is expensive, but don't stay at home only because you are short of money! Here is some advice:

*Travel during off-season if possible. Flights and hotels are very cheaper when tourism is low.

*Choose a hotel that's a little farther from popular attractions. If you're staying several days, check out prices on vacation homes — it can end up being cheaper than a hotel.

*Take public traffic, such as buses or subway, instead of taking a taxi.

*Plan your meals, and eat like locals. Don't waste money at expensive hotel restaurants or fast-food chains. Depending on where you stay, it may be cheaper to make food on your own.

*Check online for special discount(折扣) —if you're a student, the old or the parents traveling with children, you could get discounts! A little research could save you a lot of money.

Whether you're backpacking alone or going on a family vacation, your trip doesn't have to break the bank. The key is to plan ahead and write down what you spend. Then put the money you save toward your next trip!

1.Is travel expensive now?

2.How many suggestions are given to save money?

3.Which is cheaper, staying at a hotel or a vacation home?

4.Who could get discounts?

5.What is the passage mainly about?

On Saturday Patrick woke up with a little shock, knowing that this was a special day. For a moment he couldn’t think exactly why, and then, with an excited flutter of his stomach, he remembered. At ten o’clock today he was going to find out the final result of the programme called Super Brain. He got dressed more carefully than usual, went downstairs and turned on the TV. Quickly he switched channels. Cartoons, cartoons, advertisements, man talking, snow, snow… and still nothing at all on Channel 8.

“Patrick, turn it off, darling, if you’re going to watch.” Judith walked past with the newspaper under her arm and her eyes half closed. She headed for the kitchen. Patrick turned off the TV and followed.

“What’s for breakfast, Mum?”

“We will see,” Judith said in a low voice, turning on the electric kettle (水壶). She looked sleepily at him and smiled. “You look nice, darling,” She said. “You’re all ready. But we can’t go till eight-thirty at the earliest, you know. Nothing will be open till then.”

Patrick’s stomach seemed to feel a little sick. “We aren’t going out, are we?” He asked. Judith began to make the tea. “Don’t say you’ve forgotten!” she said, “I promised you, last Saturday. Your new trainers, remember?”

“Oh—oh, but I can’t go out this morning, Mum. There’s something I’ve got to watch on TV. At ten o’clock. I’ve got to! My trainers will be all right for another week.” Patrick said with excitement, looking quite worried.

Judith faced him, hands on hips, “Patrick,” she said with great dislike, “it’s all organized.”
