[1] If you read a newspaper or listen to a newscast(news report) recently, you may hear or read a strange word, “staycation.” Staycation is a new word the American press(newspapers, radio, and television) is using to describe a vacation very close to your own home, or simply staying at home during your vacation. It is a combination of the words “stay” and “vacation”.

[2] According to many news reports, these staycations are very popular among American families this year. Why? The high price of gasoline for cars and airplanes has made it very expensive for Americans to travel compared to past years. When you combine this with the weak American dollar, it all adds up to people deciding to stay close to home during their traditional summer vacations. Of course, some places are more interesting to “stay home at” than others. And if you live in a very small town, well, you may just want to skip your vacation and save your time up to next year!

[3] Everything is expensive nowadays, and let’s face it—a vacation just may not be in your plan this year. You don’t have to give up family fun just because you can’t              ; instead, follow my tips for an economical staycation filled with old favorites and new adventures! Staycations have achieved high popularity in current hard economic times in which unemployment levels and gas prices are high.

A. China's best tourist attractions are spread out across the country. So how can you pick which one to go to? You don't have to make a tough decision, just head to the Chinese Folk Culture Village near Shenzhen. Here you can see miniatures（缩影）of almost all of the major tourist at tractions in China.

B. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, containing more than 218,000 acres, is open daily and offers guided tours and more. It has both the world's most massive volcano（火山）and the world's most active volcano. It also offers the best place to view the beautiful sunrise and sun sets sceneries.

C. Crete, a small island in Greece, is not too romantic, but in terms of history and variety it has more to offer and fewer tourists than any of the others. You can relax on the beach and enjoy the sunshine comfortably.

现在，请阅读下面信息，根据他们的实际情况，进行信息匹配。

1.Arthur is a college student who majors in geography（地理）and wants to admire wonders of nature in the world this summer vacation.

根据短文内容,从下框的A～F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.选项中有一项为多余项.

A. Argue with your boss about everything you want.

B. Make the issues clear.

C. Communicate at the right time

D. Don’t go in when you are angry.

E. Propose your solution

F. Put yourself in the boss’s position

1.Before you argue with your boss, check with the boss’s secretary to determine his mood. If he ate nails for breakfast, it is not a good idea to ask him for something. Even without the boss’s secretary, there are keys to timing: don’t approach the boss when he’s on deadline; don’t go in right before lunch, when he is apt to be distracted and rushed; don’t go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.

2.If you are mad, that will only make your boss mad. Calm down first. And don’t let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration. The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind. Then, maybe he will dismiss you.

3.Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss. Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understands it.

4.Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more. If you can’t put forward an immediate solution, at least suggest how to approach the problem. People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can’t get past the secretary.

5.To deal effectively with a boss, it’s important to consider his goals and pressure. If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss, then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.
