【题目】 Knowing what not to do at checkout and properly preparing for it can turn a potentially heated situation into a quick thank you and goodbye. Below we compiled a list of things you should remember at hotel checkout.

1. Don’t be late to checkout

Hotels may add an outrageously high price for being just a half-hour late. If you know you won’t make the cutoff time, it never hurts to call ahead and try to negotiate a potential charge.

2. Don’t forget to double check the room and safe

Make sure you don’t leave anything behind. If you have an early flight or checkout time, pack up as much as you can the night before so that last-minute rush isn’t too hurried. Also, be sure to take out anything in the room safe.

3. Don’t freak out

Spitting venom (毒液) at the assistant manager standing behind the front desk probably won’t help when dealing with an unexpected item on the bill. Being empathetic about how difficult it can be to deal with annoyed customers will likely go much further.

4. Don’t pay with cash or debit card (借记卡)

Disputing your bill after paying with cash is a lot harder than working with a credit card company to get a charge back. If you pay with a debit card, you may not have the protection to challenge a charge.

5. Don’t have the hotel call you a cab

If you want to save a few dollars, plan ahead and check if a ride-sharing service is going to be cheaper than a cab to the airport.

1What may the hotel do if you are late for the checkout?

A.Negotiate a potential price.

B.Call ahead and cancel the reservation.

C.Charge extra money.

D.Give the room to other customers.

2What should you do when the receptionist meets angry customers?

A.Spit at the assistant manager.B.Argue with the front desk.

C.Show understanding to the situation.D.Go much further away from it.

3Why is it a good idea to use a ride-sharing service to get to the airport?

A.It helps the cab save dollars.

B.It reduces the burden of the hotel.

C.It is easy to get a charge back.

D.It costs the customers less money.

【题目】 Many of us have already lost the “race against the machines” - we just don’t know it yet. That is the conclusion of new research by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Unlike most studies into the impact of automation, this one does not rely on informed guesswork about what machines will be able to do in 20 years’ time. 1 They are literacy, numeracy and problem-solving with computers - and compares our performance against the abilities of machines. The results are sobering, but rather than a reason to despair,

In the survey a group of computer scientists was given the same test and asked which questions computers could answer, using technology that exists but has not necessarily been rolled out yet in the workplace. The conclusion? Almost a third of workers use these cognitive skills daily in their jobs and yet their competency levels have already been matched by computers. About 44 per cent are still better than the machines. The remaining 25 per cent have jobs that do not use these skills every day.

There are two caveats. First, the OECD only asked computer scientists how well they thought machines could do. 2. Second, just because technology exists does not mean it will be deployed quickly in the workplace. It depends on how easily it can be made operational, how much it costs relative to the value it creates, and whether companies have the appetite to invest.

3. Stuart Elliott, the author, concludes that in 10 to 20 years, only workers with very strong literacy and numeracy skills will be comfortably more proficient than computers. At the minute, only about one in 10 working-age adults in OECD countries are of this standard.

It is true that the education systems in most countries have been raising their game: younger people tend to have better skills than older people (the UK being one notable, and worrying, exception). But even if you take the most skilled generation in the most skilled country - young people in Finland - two-thirds still do not meet these top levels of literacy and numeracy. 4.

The risks to workers from ever smarter computers are clear, but the opportunities will lie in maximizing the value of their human skills. For some people, such as talented chefs, the battle is already won. Others might need to harness the computers to leverage their human talents.

A.And yet, the implication of the study are hard to dismiss.

B.on many of these fronts, computers are behind humans, if they are in the race at all.

C.Technology does not necessary mean doom to all but the highest skilled.

D.Instead it takes three basic and compares our performance against the abilities of machines.

E.Apart from astonishing improvement in education, it looks like only a minority of people can win this race.

F.The result would be more alarming if machine were actually put to the test.
