We all like to think that we are perfect to a fault .And whose fault is that? Not mine.
Recently, my husband and I got up at the 1 of 4 am to catch an early 2 to New York .We were extremely 3 ,perhaps because we were sleep-walking . And we were all ready when the taxi came to 4 us 45 minutes later.
It was a quiet 5 to the airport .We didn’t even chat ,because he was enjoying his new iPod .At the airport ,the taxi 6 to let us get off ,at which point the iPod guy 7 me and said , “We don’t have our 8 .”
“You are 9 ,right?” I replied ,for he 10 lied like that.
“No. I mean it .Did you bring it down?” I didn’t”
“What do you mean ,you didn’t ?” I shouted. “All our things are there.”
“How 11 !” I was thinking, “You’re always 12 to do things like bringing down luggage .This is your fault , 13 now ,we may 14 our flight.” I didn’t say that out loud, 15 .He already knew how I felt.
The experience showed I had a hard time accepting 16 . But what do you think of me? Psychologists think that the best way to assess ourselves is 17 the eyes of others. We often don’t recognize that we’ve done wrong.
Oh ,and that missing suitcase? We went home 18 in the taxi ,picked it up ,returned to the airport and made it through with minutes to 19 .
Later ,while walking along Broadway, I noted how 20 I was. I hadn’t said a thing about his forgetting our suitcase at home.

At one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour. That was the law until 1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to carry a red lamp.
Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England, but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour. In order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police officers, who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the country, but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London.
One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge. One of the men walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could. The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car, and not one of them saw it.

A staycation is a vacation when you do not travel at all. Some people use a staycation to just stay at home, and others prefer to experience the attractions around them without traveling very far.
There are many choices for staycations. Any town or city has plenty of choices for things to do if you know where to look. If the weather is nice, you can visit the local gardens or forests for a hike. You can look online for several historic places and create your own history tours. Of course, you can also visit other attractions in the areas like museums, restaurants, bars, parks, beaches, and so on. Often, if you drive just a few hours, you can find a city that you can walk around and see. Then by driving home you can save the cost of a hotel and a plane ride.
Others take the term “staycation” word for word and do not leave their houses at all. Some choices for this can include taking time off to cook a great meal and enjoy it together or spending all day at a pool.
Just as a coin has two sides, staycation has its advantages as well as disadvantages.
Since you are not traveling or staying in a hotel, a staycation can be unbelievably costeffective（低成本的）. You don’t have to pay for a hotel, so that cost has been completely eliminated. You are also saving by not driving very far and by not taking an airplane anywhere. Travel costs have become really high, and the farther you go, the higher they are. By staying close to home, you cut that cost by quite a bit. You are also pushing money back into your local economy（经济）by spending your money at local businesses rather than in cities that are far away from home. Finally, any stress that you feel with travel, whether that is from driving long distances or looking for an airport, will completely disappear.
1.For what purpose is the text written?
A．To introduce the general information of staycatons.
B．To compare staycatons with other vacations.
C．To persuade more people to have staycations.
D．To provide different ways of staycations.
2.What is one of the advantages of a staycation?
A．The economy in other cities is also improved.
B．People spend nothing when staying at home.
C．You can visit local attractions for free.
D．There is no stress from traveling.
3.What does the underlined word “eliminated” in Paragraph 5 probably means?
A．included B．removed
C．covered D．raised
4.What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph?
A．When to take a staycation. B．What disadvantages a staycation has.
C．Why people prefer a staycation. D．How to have a staycation safely.
