A
If you’ll be taking vacation time in the coming year and plan on flying, here are some shopping tips to give your undivided attention to.
When to buy
If you’re shopping for dome stic flights, check prices on Tuesday afternoons. This is an old tipbut still valid becausemost US carriers continue to release sales onTuesday morning, andcompetitors quickly drop their fares to match the better deals.
When to fly
Weekdays continue to be generally cheaper times to fly than weekends for most flights. In theUS specifically the cheapest days are typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday.
A gooditinerary for the expensive US spring break travel period is Tuesday to Saturday; it won’t be cheap exactly, but it will save you money (in most cases) over weekend-to-weekend travel.
Direct vs. connecting flights
Compare the price of direct with connecting fights. Sometimes adding a stop to your route willsave you money, and it might be enough to endure the extra-longflying day. Some examples;
Boston to Seattle :$247 direct, $234 one-stop
San Francisco to Raleigh/Durham: $553 direct, $362 one-stop
Okay, the savings on Boston-Seattle might not be worth it to you, but I’ll bet you’ll think twiceabout the direct fight for San Francisco to Raleigh.
Compare, compare, compare
Stifle the impulse to go to your favorite airline site to purchase tickets without doing anycomparison;it’s a recipe for disaster. Example: Let’s say you want to fly from New York to Londonand figure your favorite US legacy carrier will get you there for the best price.
Airline price: $554 round-trip
Comparisonprice: $486
Obviously, the legacy carrier did not have the cheapest flight, but wait, there’s more: Thecomparison site also showed a cheaper flight from the same legacy carrier ($521). See what you’re missing when you fail to compare?
21. The best price for flights within the US could most possibly be found on.
A. Monday morning
B. Tuesday afternoon
C. Thursday morning
D. Sunday morning
22. Ticket buyers are advised to.
A. choose direct flights rather than connecting ones
B. take the cheapest deal from their favorite airline
C. look for flight deals to Europe throughout the summer
D. avoid weekend-to-weekend flights in holidayseasons
23. The underlined phrase “stifle the impulse” probably means “.”
A. feelfreetodosomething
B. hold off on doing something
C. get well prepared for something
D. make quick decisions about something
B

For a lot of people, getting a full night’s sleep is nothing more than just a dream. Some of usclimb into bed in the early evening, and the next thing we know, it’s 2 in the mor ning and we’resill staring at he ceiling. It’s common knowledge that sleep problems can be caused by things suchas stress, anxiety, or even using a smart phone before bedtime. But recently, a team of researchersdiscovered that genes could also be a cause of sleepless nights.
The scientists, from Rockefeller University in New York, US, found that delayed sleep phasedisorder( DSPD, 睡眠时相延迟障碍)，a condition that af fects one’s sleeping patterns, is passeddown via a mutated(突变的) gene. DSPD sufferers wake up later and go to bed later than theaverage person. To come to their conclusion, the team studied a 46-year-old woman who is onlyusually able to fall asleep at 2 or 3 in the morning. It was discovered that the woman’s body produces the hormone that helps her sleep at night up to seven hours later than regular sleepers. The scientists found this was caused by a mutation in one of the woman’s genes, one that helpsregulate the“body clock”.
Some of the woman’s family members we re also found to share the same mutation—and thesame sleeping problems—leading the scientists to believe that sleep troubles are passed downthrough the generations.
However, having this mutation doesn’t mean you automatically have sleep problems.
The teamalso found two people who had he mutation but reported no problems with their sleep.
But while this is an interesting discovery, it offers no help to those who can’t fall asleep atnight—although there are a few things you could try to help you sleep earlier.
BBC journalist Michael Mosley produced a TV documentary in May in which he talked abouthis battle with insomnia(失眠) and the techniques he used. “I avoid social media for at least anhour before bed, Ido mindfulness exercises, and ifI wake up in the middle of the night, I read abook for an hour or so,”he wrote in an article for the Radio Times.
32. What have scientists recently discovered about sleep problems?
A. Sleep problems can be a result of genetics.
B. Stress and anxiety can cause sleep problems.
C. Smart phones are the main cause of sleep problems nowadays.
D. Sleep problems are more common among younger people.
33. What can we learn about the mutation of the gene related to sleep?
A. It will delay sleep for seven hours.
B. It doesn’t necessa rily cause sleep problems.
C. It will be passed down to every future generation.
D. It can be modified to help solve sleep problems.
34. What does Michael Mosley suggest doing before sleep to fight against insomnia?
A. Listening to light music.
B. Reading interesting books.
C. Keeping away from social media.
D. Doing some outdoor exercises.
35. What’s the main purpose of the article?
A. To give advice on how to cure insomnia.
B. To explain different reasons for sleep problems.
C. To warn readers of the bad influences of sleeping late.
D. To report the discovery of a genetic cause for sleep problems.
