Saving money while traveling
There are a lot of matters to think on before going out on a trip. If you fail to plan the trip properly, then money will simply let itself loose from your pocket. Moreover, if you haven't planned a road map of your tour, then confusion is quite inevitable (必然的). 【小题1】
Package tours. Tours and travel agencies have attractive offers for tourists wanting to spend a couple of days on trips. 【小题2】 Once you have accepted the package tour, all your expenses during the travel will be greatly reduced. You can save a lot in lodging(住宿 ) and traveling.
Inexpensive lodging. Never choose expensive lodging if your tour is a low-budget one. People tend to spend a lot booking luxury hotels (豪华旅馆), and save little to enjoy other activities during the trip. This idea is absolutely not wise when spending limited money on the trip is your main aim. Moreover, the expenses increase quickly when your kids are with you. 【小题3】 You can use the money saved on good food and amusement.
【小题4】 The peak season is the time when rates are sky high due to the increase of millions of tourists who can afford to spend a lot of money. You, not being amongst this crowd that can spend generously, must book your holidays during the off season.
A guide map. Make a guide map about the places to visit, expenses of travel and the activities to try. While planning you should also estimate (估计) your total expenses. Calculate the maximum amount and try to spend less than that. 【小题5】 Refer to the guide map while traveling and follow the money-saving travel tips as much as possible.
| A.Reduce shopping. |
| B.Off season travel. |
| C.You must keep yourself updated with such offers. |
| D.This will help you to keep actual expenses below the estimated. |
F. Therefore, book a fairly low-price lodge to save a few dollars.
G. So knowing some money-saving travel tips becomes necessary for you.
__【小题1】_ When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.
The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels._【小题2】__.
The first and most basic level of wants involves food.Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears:clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War Ⅱthese wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans.__【小题3】__It included such items as automobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “lifeenriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body-this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. __【小题4】_
On this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. _【小题5】_In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
| A.Then a third level appeared. |
| B.Human wants seem endless. |
| C.When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants,another level appears. |
| D.There are several levels of wants in one’s life. |
F.Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.
G.Different people have different wants on each level.
