5.With the summer holiday just around the corner,it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations.Here are some tips to help you enjoy your holiday without emptying your pocket:
Travel off-season
Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts.During the peak season,the hotel and flight prices increase quickly,and you'll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists.(16)D.
(17)A
Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms.Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding.Stay with the locals.If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period,renting a small apartment is a good choice.
Eat like a local
Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new?(18)E.
During your family trip,try new food where the locals eat.This will not just save money,but also provide you with a new and different experience.For smaller meals and snacks,avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout.
Don't hesitate to bargain
Tourist-heavy places are known for overcharging for just about everything.Clothes,travel goodies,souvenirs,etc.are very expensive at these places.(19)F.Bargain hard to get the best price.
Choose local transportation
(20)G.Instead,take buses,railways or subways,which are always cheaper.If you are planning to stay for a while,you can consider renting a car.Hiring a car is much easier than carrying your bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot.

A.Save on hotels
B.Surf the Internet while traveling
C.Therefore,avoid buying anything there
D.So it's best to find out when the off-season starts
E.Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs
F.For this reason,you should never feel ashamed of asking for bargains
G.As a tourist,avoid taking taxis whenever possible,since they're expensive.
6.Going to college is a new experience full of excitement of the unknown.Socialization is a big thing for college students and it is common to feel a little uncomfortable going into a situation where everyone is a stranger.You may probably miss your friends from high school.(36)ACollege is a great opportunity to make new lifelong friends.The question is:how?
Get to know your roommate.
You may find you have lots of things in common with your roommate,but even if you are completely different from each other,with a little effort and understanding the two of you may become best friends.
(37)CIf you leave your door open,this shows that you welcome visitors.As a result people will naturally stop in and say hello.Closed doors are not likely to bring many visitors and those who stay locked up in their rooms may give others the impression of being cold.Other students will be less likely to stop in and build a new friendship.
Join clubs or organizations.
Getting involved in organized societies is a great way to meet new people.(38)DBy staying active in college groups such as clubs and organizations you can meet lots of people with whom you share common interests.
Talk to classmates.
(39)GStarting conversations in class is a great opportunity to meet people who are interested in the same kind of studies as you are.Short friendly discussions can build lifelong friendships.
Try out for a sport.
If you're athletc,trying out for a sport will do for you the same thing that joining a club will do.(40)F

A.Trying actively to find new friends can help ease the feelings of being lonely.
B.Close the door to keep away from theft.
C.Hang a welcome sign on your dorm room.
D.It also helps you get more familiar with the campus.
E.Your roommate is the first person you will have close contact with.
F.You will instantly meet a large group of people who share your interests in sports.
G.Get to know your classmates as you'll be spending several months with them.

10.Tips for Staying SharpIt's not abnormal to feel out of it from time to time or perhaps you're feeling a bit sluggish(迟钝的)when it comes to remembering things.If you're worried about your forgetfulness,try out these five tips to stay sharp.
(36)AYou've probably heard the term"you are what you eat."If you decide to eat sugary foods that are heavy with fats then expect to feel lazy and have no energy.But if you decide to eat fruits,vegetables and make other healthy eating decisions you'11 find that you're full of energy.
Never stop learning
Challenge yourself constantly-whether it is puzzles,reading,cooking or other tasks that will keep your mind working.If your mind is always learning new things and active,you'11 realize that it's much easier for you to learn new things and to function.(37)G    
Stay fit
Being in good health and staying in shape is a big part of staying sharp.(38)C If you choose to be lazy then your body is not going to give you the energy that requires remembering things and completing tasks.However,if you put forth the effort into being healthy then your body will expel(释放)the energy you need to achieve your goals.
Ensure enough sleep
Be sure to get the necessary amount of sleep that your body needs to function on a daily basis.(39)FIt also helps your body build up an energy reserve so you can improve your ability to focus and avoid distractions.
Socialize more
(40)E Social interaction will help you develop multitasking,problem solving and other skills that are necessary in life to keep your mind sharp.

A.Feed your brain.
B.Avoid eating too much.
C.Your body will only give you what you put into it.
D.Lack of sleep contributes to tiredness and slow reaction.
E.Conversations require individuals to stay aware and active.
F.According to studies,sleep helps strengthen and recover your memories.
G.Remember your brain is a muscle and if you want to get the most out of it,you must use it.
1.Many of us have characteristics that are inherited from our families.Maybe we have our father's eyes or our grandmother's hair color-(51)Bfeatures that result from the genes we inherit.But there are other elements of our personalities such as behaviors and viewpoints that we pick up by (52)Dour parents.Perhaps we have picked up our mother's love of cleaning or our dad's sense of humor.Now,researchers at the University of Michigan believe there may be a specific viewpoint we can thank our parents for:the way we (53)Awork.
    The researchers referred to previous studies that identified three main ways of viewing work.
First,there are job-oriented (以求职为目的)people,those who (54)Cto see their job as simply a way to make money.They(55)Cto clocking out(打卡下班)every day and pursuing fun activities (56)Athe office.If you have a job-oriented father,you may view work this way.(57)C,if you grew up close to your mother you probably will not hold this viewpoint.One possible (58)Bcited by the study:Youngsters that grow up close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job.
    Second,there are career-oriented(追求事业型的)people who see their job as a place to find (59)Dand gain a sense of (60)BThese are the people who don't (61)Cworking overtime.In fact,some people love their jobs so much that they become workaholics!They are more comfortable in the office than at home.According to the study,being close to a career-oriented father while growing up means there's a good chance you'll share his perspective.Oddly,having a mother with this viewpoint seems to have little (62)A
    Third,there are calling-oriented workers-folks who view their job as a way to make a (n) (63)Dimpact upon the world.They are more (64)Bwith improving the world around them than earning a large salary.In the study,those who expressed a strong calling (天职)orientation came from homes where both parents were calling-oriented.This suggests that adolescents need the support of both parents in order to have the confidence to put (65)Afirst and career success second.
    The good news is-we still have choice.Whether we share our parents'views of work or not,we can still find a career that suits us.
