1. Don’t be late to checkout

Hotels may add an outrageously high price for being just a half-hour late. If you know you won’t make the cutoff time, it never hurts to call ahead and try to negotiate a potential charge.

2. Don’t forget to double check the room and safe

Make sure you don’t leave anything behind. If you have an early flight or checkout time, pack up as much as you can the night before so that last-minute rush isn’t too hurried. Also, be sure to take out anything in the room safe.

3. Don’t freak out

Spitting venom (毒液) at the assistant manager standing behind the front desk probably won’t help when dealing with an unexpected item on the bill. Being empathetic about how difficult it can be to deal with annoyed customers will likely go much further.

4. Don’t pay with cash or debit card (借記卡)

Disputing your bill after paying with cash is a lot harder than working with a credit card company to get a charge back. If you pay with a debit card, you may not have the protection to challenge a charge.

5. Don’t have the hotel call you a cab

If you want to save a few dollars, plan ahead and check if a ride-sharing service is going to be cheaper than a cab to the airport.

【1】What may the hotel do if you are late for the checkout?

A.Negotiate a potential price.

B.Call ahead and cancel the reservation.

C.Charge extra money.

D.Give the room to other customers.

【2】What should you do when the receptionist meets angry customers?

A.Spit at the assistant manager.B.Argue with the front desk.

C.Show understanding to the situation.D.Go much further away from it.

【3】Why is it a good idea to use a ride-sharing service to get to the airport?

A.It helps the cab save dollars.

B.It reduces the burden of the hotel.

C.It is easy to get a charge back.

D.It costs the customers less money.

The Chinese have a saying, "Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven 【1】 (necessity) lo begin a day." 【2】 tea is the last one on the list, we still can see 【3】 plays an important role in our daily life. For the Chinese, tea drinking and tasting are not the same. Tea drinking is for refreshment, while tea tasting 【4】 (carry) more cultural meaning. It stresses more about the ultimate goal, 【5】 (value) highly in Chinese culture: the 【6】 (harmony) unity of human beings with nature. Because of the fact that the fragrance of tea is not aggressive, tea is often compared to personal character. Its characteristics of being pleasant, low-keyed, and lasting 【7】 (associate) to a personal character as well as a friendship between gentlemen. Wherever you are,【8】 a cup of tea in hand, you can get closer to peace and relaxation.

For me, one of the best ways to get to know a new place is to work with the land, live with the locals and share meals together. It has got to be one of the best ways to travel. It is a mutually beneficial exchange where everyone involved prioritizes people and our planet above profit. You get the time and space to deepen a connection with local communities and nature.

There is a lot to learn and each farm has its own unique way of doing things, depending on the environment, climate and soil. At the farm in La Reunion we planted palm trees to harvest the core of the trunk which can be eaten in salads. Before staying with the farm I had only eaten heart of palm from cans which were nothing in comparison to the real thing, fresh from the ground. When potting up the very beginnings of the palm trees, I felt grateful to be a part of the start of the trees’ cycle. I was filled with awe that something so small could grow into something so big and strong.

Of course, not everyone is able to travel far afield, due to various restrictions or responsibilities back home. The great thing about the skill-share philosophy behind WWOOFing, which prioritizes people above profit, is that it’s something we can all do from our own backyard. That can be swapping French lessons with a neighbour for babysitting, or cooking a meal in exchange for a yoga class. The focus shifts from money to how we can best support each other in our communities. A fair exchange can make a big difference in the world.

B.To introduce the growing process of palm trees.

C.To express his interest in growing plants on the farm.

D.To show his amazement at the growth of palm trees.

【1】 They lengthen the legs but shorten the steps; they give the wearer a sense of power but can also be painful to wear; they are worn by working women, but their visual appeal has nothing to do with work.

In Japan, a new social media campaign highlights the issues many women have with this footwear. 【2】In May, thousands of women signed an online petition(請愿書)demanding that the government ban the practice.

“【3】” said the movement founder Yuni Ishikawa, 32 yeas old, in an interview with the Associated Press. “It’s the view that appearances are more important for women at work than for men.”

As early as January, Ishikawa shared her frustration about the unfairness of this dress code on the Instagram social network. In her part-time job as a funeral usher(迎賓員), she was required to wear black heels between 5 and 7cm high.【4】. “High heels can cause bunions, blisters and strain the lower back. It’s hard to move, you can’t run and your feet hurt,” Ishikawa wrote in the petition, “【5】“

It’s a modest dream. Not too long ago, Japanese businessmen were expected to wear neckties, even on hot days. Then, the government encouraged companies to use less air conditioning and reduce electricity use. Men were freed from neckties. “This petition is the first step toward ‘creating a working environment free from unnecessary burdens’.” Ishikawa said.

A.It’s unreasonable.

B.This is about gender discrimination.

C.She would come home with bleeding toes.

D.I hope there will come a day when women don’t have to wear heels in the workplace.

E.High-heeled shoes are loaded with contradictions.

F.They are upset that many companies require women to wear high heels to work.

G.It would be great if the country had a similar kind of campaign about neckties.
