  Ann started work last summer, so she didn't have a holiday. She saved as much as she could and, in January, she booked a package trip to Rosas, in Spain. She left London airport early on the first Saturday in August. She was very excited, as that was her first trip abroad. During the flight they had a snack, and when they arrived at Barcelona airport, a special bus was ready to take them to their hotel in Rosas. The weather was beautiful and Ann enjoyed the bus trip.

  At the hotel, she checked in, and then went to her room to change before dinner. She was just ready to go downstairs, when she found that her Spanish money wasn't in her handbag. She carefully looked in all her luggage, but she couldn't find it. All she had was a small purse with ten English notes in it!

  Ann found a place to change her English money. She had a few pesetas, and she would be here for two weeks. On her way back to the hotel, Ann bought some cheese, some bread and some oranges. When she got back, she told the manager that her doctor had told her not to eat Spanish food; she would just have breakfast every day. That was all right, as she knew the price of hotels included breakfast.

  For the rest of her holiday, Ann swam in the hotel swimming pool, or lay on the beach and got a sunbath. She also went for long walks with one of the other tourists, a Scottish girl called Jane. However, when the others went to interesting places, she always said she wasn't well. In fact, her holiday wasn't bad, except that she was always hungry. After all, a piece of fruit for lunch, and bread and cheese for supper isn't very much... especially not for two weeks.

  Late in the afternoon of their last day, Ann and Jane were on the beach. Jane asked her why she never ate with them in the hotel restaurant. The food was excellent. Ann told her all about her money problems. Jane looked at her for a minute, and then said, “But didn't you know? The price of this holiday includes absolutely everything!”

(1)Ann worked through the summer without a holiday in order to ________.

[  ]

A.save enough money to make a trip

B.leave London as early as possible

C.enjoy herself in the job

D.book a trip to Barcelona

(2)“A package trip”means a trip in which ________.

[  ]

A.packages are needed to take

B.travel agents arrange everything at a fixed price

C.travel agents carry your packages for you

D.travel book tickets and hotels for you

(3)Ann had breakfast in the hotel because ________.

[  ]

A.food in the hotel was very cheap

B.food in the hotel was English food

C.she needn't pay for it

D.the manager promised to offer her food free of charge

(4)What can we know from the passage?

[  ]

A.The other tourists treated Ann badly.

B.Ann had looked forward to the trip for a long time.

C.Ann didn't like Spanish food.

D.Ann knew a lot about her trip.
