4Hotels That Will Make Your Life Easier
BY JOHN BRANDON
For the business traveler who is all about efficiency：Check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum of trouble．
When you are pressed for time on a business trip，nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process．On your next trip，try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process．

1．Yotel New York
The self-service kiosks at this high-tech New York hotel work just like the ones you'd see at an airport．There are just five-steps to register and obtain your card key．There is even a robotic luggage bellboy．You tap in the number of bags you are carrying and sizes，then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker （say，for a day trip）．This also speeds up the check-in process if the first thing you need to do，like me，is head to a series of meetings．
2．Marriott Detroit Airport
Another option for business travelers in a hurry：Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325hotels this year，including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel．（I've tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet．） Here is the basic idea：you download the iphone or Android app．The night before，you can"check-in"virtually．When you arrive，you get an alert that the room is ready and your key，which is already tied to your reservation，is waiting for you at the desk．
3．Hyatt Regency Minneapolis
I happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works．Like the Yotel，the kiosk asks you to insert your credit card，similar to an airport terminal．The whole process took about three minutes，when I left，I was equally impressed with the fast check-out．An agent meets you in the lobby with an ipad and asks for an email to use for a receipt．The big advantage：you never have to wait in line．
4．Radisson：LaCrosse
The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster，at a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin，you use a mobile app to register and then receive a barcode by email or text．When you get the kiosk，you scan the barcode to get your key without any other steps required．It's super fast．You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City，Seattle，and Phoenix as well．

70．What does the word"infuriate"in paragraph 2most mean？A
A．annoy
B．remind
C．amuse
D impress
71．Which two hotels offer a mobile app for customers to check in？B
A．Yotel New York and Marriott Detroit Airport．
B．Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson：LaCrosse．
C．Marriott Detroit Airport．and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis．
D．Hyatt Regency Minneapolis and Radisson：LaCrosse．
72．Which hotel will send you a receipt by email？D
A．Yotel New York．
B．Marriott Detroit Airport．
C．Radisson：LaCrosse．
D．Hyatt Regency Minneapolis．
73．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．At Yotel New York，a robot will help you with all the check-in process．
B．With its check-in app，you may enter your room in Marriott without a key．
C．Hyatt Regency Minneapolis is close to an airport terminal．
D．The barcode you receive from Radisson contributes to the fast check-in．

I love camping．It's my favourite way to spent the summer vacation．Last year，my family and I went camping in the countryside．It was one of the most excited experiences I had never had．We slept in a tent and went on a long walk every day．We cook over a fire and the food always tasted wonderfully．For a whole week，I saw lovely mountain views or breathed fresh air．At night，I heard the gentle wind blowing in the tree，and I felt so peaceful．It doesn't cost many to camp，and what I believe it's the best way to get close nature and enjoy its beauty．

4．New York Transit Museum：Ghost Station Tour
City Hall Station，an abandoned station of the New York Rapid Transit （运输） subway，was originally the last stop at the southern end of the subway line．Opened in 1904，the station was designed to be the most impressive station of the city's new subway system．
City Hall Station remained in use until 1945，when the station had to be closed due to certain changes in the city's subway system．As more and more passengers started to travel by subway，it became necessary to add more cars to subway trains．This meant that subway platforms needed to be extended to fit the longer trains．However，City Hall Station was originally built with a short，bent platform，making improvements to the station difficult．Rather than trying to rebuild it，officials chose to abandon City Hall Station in favor of another nearby station，the Brooklyn Bridge Station．Thus，City Hall became a"ghost"（鬼，幽灵） station on the New York subway line，a modern underground ruin．
Although the station is no longer used by subway travelers，the New York Transit Museum has found a new use for the station．The museum has reopened City Hall Station for tourists．Due to the historic significance and beauty of this station，the New York Transit Museum schedules special tours of the station．With some new features added，the station has been named as a landmark by the U．S．government．
Tour Information and Reservations
Please make reservations with the Transit Museum from Tuesday to Friday，10am to 4pm．Payment in advance is required for tours and must be received at least one week before the scheduled tour．Payment can be made by credit or check．
Tours may require a lot of walking．Wear good walking shoes and comfortable clothes．For your safety，follow the instructions of the tour guide when touring abandoned stations，stay with the group at all times，and follow instructions or signs at the facilities．
Photography is not permitted inside abandoned facilities and some tours have been restricted since 2001due to security concerns．Please check before booking．

21．What is the main topic of the passage？A
A．The history and features of this station．
B．A special tour for children．
C．The most popular subway station in New York．
D．A way to tour New York by subway．
22．What made improvement of the station difficult？D

9．The editor of the new Cool Camping Britain guide chooses some of his favorite new finds in England，Wales and Scotland．
Cleadale，Isle of Eigg，Inner Hebrides

Open April-September，from￡5per tent per night．
Swattesfield，Thornham Magna，Suffolk
Deep in the wilds of north Suffolk，this seven-acre campsite has only been open for a few years，with two fields separated by a lake and surrounded by woodland．The position is perfect．It's a great place to do nothing but get into nature．You can put up your tent in the bottom field or the woodland beyond．

16．For most people，Christmas is a time to relax in the company of family and friends．But for Santa Claus，and the thousands of fake Santas who impersonate（模仿） him every year，the Christmas season is time to get to work．
Although  Santa Claus waits until Christmas Eve to take his famous sleigh （雪橇） ride，Santa impersonators can be found at shopping malls around America throughout the six weeks leading up to December 25．"When you see Santa talking with kids at your local mall，that's when you know Christmas really is on the way，"says Mary Lewine of New York City．
With the excitement of Christmas，people often forget about the real people behind the red robes （长袍）and white beards，but being a mall Santa．is a tough job．"There is more to it than just sitting in a chair．There is more to it than just a red suit，"said Timothy Connaghan，who has worked as a Santa for.38years．"Children
can really put the wear and tear on you．"
A recent survey showed some of the challenges that mall Santas face every year．About 90percent of Santas claimed that children pulled their beards to see if they were real，and 60percent said that up to ten kids cough or sneeze on them every day．Even more disturbing，one-third of the Santas admit to having children wet themselves while sitting on their laps．
So why would anyone take this job？For Ben Brauch，a retired high school teacher who has worked as a Santa for the last six years，the answer is simple-the children．"I see maybe 12，000kids in a six-week period．
It's hard work，but it's worth it because you get to play with kids．"In fact，Brauch loves his job so much that he keeps his white beard long all year．
25．According to Timothy Connaghan，we can conclude thatB
A．all children are moved to tears when seeing Santa
B．a mall Santa is always sitting in a chair
C．a mall Santa tolerates a lot during Christmas
D．Santa impersonators are greatly admired

27．Why does Ben Brauch love his job of Santa impersonator？D
A．Because he can keep his white beard long all year．．
B．Because he   as nothing else to do after retiring．
C．Because he can earn a large sum of money．．

13．The Best Ways to Offer Support and Encouragement
Whether it is a friend，family member，or coworker，at some time or another somebody will need support and encouragement．This could be theresult of a disappointing change in life，a health change or other similar challenges．（36）EEven if you do not think that you have the ability to offer the proper support and encouragement，your willingness to be there and to listen may be enough．
Each situation is different，and each would require different levels of both support and encouragement．（37）GHelping keep up someone's spirits when they are feeling helpless just by letting them know you are there，can make a serious difference in their lives．
（38）BFor people in this situation，often a telephone call，or dropping in to say"hell"is more than enough．You may not feel that you are doing much of anything，but to the person who is feeling isolated the effort you take to stop and see them，or call them can make a big difference．For someone who has recently lost a job，you may be able to offer support by helping them network effectively．Or，you may be able to help them craft a new resume，apply for benefits，or a number of other"small"things that may seem insignificant to you，but to them can be a very significant event．
（39）DHowever，if you let them know that you are there for them，and make it a point to check in with them regularly，they may soon feel more comfortable and share them with you．Take for example a person who is suffering with depression．
（40）AThey may not be willing to admit that there is something wrong．However，if you trust your instincts（直觉） and take a little extra care to support and encourage them even in little ways，you can make a huge difference in their overall outlook．
A．You know that there is something wrong．
B．All too often，people feel isolated and do not know where to turn．
C．So you may need support and encouragement to pull through．
D．You may not always understand all of the issues going on in someone's life．
E．In such cases，it is natural for you to reach out and offer your support and encouragement．
F．You know better than anyone the best ways to support and encourage someone who is going through a difficult time．
G．The support you offer could be as simple as helping with simple household tasks，running errands（跑腿儿），or even being available for telephone calls．
