Flight cancellations(取消) and loss of luggage can ruin even the best-planned holiday. The key to a stress-free trip is having a backup plan.

Fly non-stop. The worst problems involve connections, so it is important to take non-stop flights whenever possible. If you do have to make a connection, try to route through a southern city, where snowstorms and de-icing delays will be less likely. Always allow at least two to three hours for flight connections.

Check the weather. Check the weather in your connecting city, not just the arrival and departure city. If your departure flight is cancelled because of weather, you can go home or back to your hotel. Airlines promise to get you on the next available flight, not the next flight. That could be several days later on a sold-out holiday weekend.

Go early. The earlier in the day you fly, the better your chance of getting rebooked the same day after a missed connection. It will also put you ahead of stranded(滞留的) passengers who arrive later.

Rebook immediately. As soon as your flight is delayed or cancelled, get on the phone and rebook your flight instead of waiting at the ticket counter. If your rebooking is delayed, call or ask your travel agent to find a seat on another carrier, and then ask your original carrier to endorse your ticket to the new airline. Airlines are not required to do this but often do. Learn more at www. dot. gov/ airconsumer/ fly-rights.

Ship bags. A few days before your flight, ship suitcases or holiday gifts to your destination by a documented express service. It’s preferable to losing bags because of re-routed flights and sometimes cheaper than paying airline overweight bag fees.

Know your rights. Airlines are not required to compensate passengers for delayed or cancelled flights, but it never hurts to ask for goodwill vouchers(折扣) for meals, taxis or a room.

1.When making a flight connection, it’s common that you’ll___________.

A. stop in the south

B. choose a good city without snowstorm

C. be trapped in the storm

D. wait for two or three hours

2.The suggested way for you to rebook your flight is___________.

A. through the phone

B. by waiting at the ticket counter

C. by changing another airline

D. by surfing the Internet

3.According to the passage, we can infer____________.

A. it will take long to rebook the tickets

B. your luggage is easy to be lost

C. you will pay more for your overweight luggage

D. with the same ticket you can take the next flight

4.The underlined word “compensate” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “___________”.

A. pay B. ask C. host D. treat

5.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. The Worst Problem in the Trip.

B. The Preparation Before the Flight Trip.

C. How to Book the Plane Ticket.

WASHINGTON—Laura Straub is a very worried woman. Her job is to find families for foreign teenagers who expect to live with American families in the summer.

It is not easy, even desperate.

“We have many children left to place—40 out of 75,” said Straub, who works for a foreign exchange programme called LEC.

When foreign exchange programmes started 50 years ago, more families were accommodating. For one thing, more mothers stayed at home. But now, increasing numbers of women work outside the home. Exchange-student programmes have struggled in recent years to sign up host families for the 30, 000 teenagers who come from abroad every year to spend an academic year in the United States, as well as the thousands more who take part in summer programmes.

School systems in many parts of the U.S., unhappy about accepting non-taxpaying students, have also strictly limited the number of exchange students they accept. At the same time, the idea of hosting foreign students is becoming less exotic(有异国情调的).

In search for host families, who usually receive no pay, exchange programmes are increasingly broadening their requests to include everyone from young couples to the retired.

 “We are open to many different types of families,” said Vickie Weiner, eastern regional director for ASSE, a 25-year-old programme that sends about 30,000 teenagers on academic-year exchange programmes worldwide.

For elderly people, exchange students “keep us young—they really do”, said Jen Foster, who is hosting 16-year-old Nina Post from Denmark.

1.According to the text, why was it easier for Laura Straub to find American families for foreign students?

A. American school systems were better than now.

B. The government was happy because it could gain tax. 

C. Foreign students paid hosting families a lot of money.

D. More mothers didn’t work outside and could look after children.

2.To deal with the problem in recent years, exchange programmes have to ______.

A. extend the range of host families

B. limit the number of the exchange students

C. borrow much money to pay for the costs

D. make hosting foreign students more exotic

3.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

A Exchange Students Keep Old People Young.

B. Idea of Hosting Students is Different.

C. Foreign-exchange Program Is Going on.

D U.S. Struggle to Find host Families.
