21、Planning a cruise on a budget often involves searching for the best cruise deals and specials. While it's true that one of the best ways to save on cruises is to choose major lines' seasonal promotional offers, there are other ways to significantly reduce the cost of your trip. You might even be able to enjoy a cruise on as little as $100 a day.
We consulted with Colleen McDaniel, senior executive editor of Cruise Critic, to get even more money-saving tips. Read on to discover how you can enjoy cruises for cheap.
Purchase an all-inclusive package
An easy way to rack up(增加) a high cruise bill is by taking advantage of every extra that a cruise line has to offer without knowing which extras are included in the package you've purchased. If you're worried about spending too much on activities, beverages, food and accommodations, book an all-inclusive package, which could help you save money in the long run.
Seek unadvertised discounts
Though they don't always advertise them, many cruise lines offer special prices for certain groups. Royal Caribbean, for example, extends special pricing on all cruises to airline employees.
Call the cruise line to find out if it offers discounts for any groups, employers or organizations you are affiliated with, and you could save up to S100 or more a day on your booking.
Use an app to track prices
If you can be flexible with your travel dates, you might be able to get a great deal on a cruise by using an app like Cruise Critic. The app lets you monitor prices of upcoming cruises and informs you of any major changes on prices as the days go by. If the price on your cruise drops after you've booked, you can contact the cruise line to negotiate the difference. The cruise line might refund you in the form of an onboard credit that you can use for cruise activities and other amenities during your trip.
Look for local deals
Many cruise-goers extend their vacations by booking stays and planning activities in port cities before and after the cruise. If this is your plan, save money on dining and adventures by looking for local deals ahead of time.

23、Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air.
However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance.
Many people say running in the winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather.
That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the body’s dehydration (脱水) levels are lower than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.
This information comes from sports scientists at St. Mary’s University in London. John Brewer is a professor of applied sport science at St. Mary’s.
For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental chamber.” The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners.
“We’ve got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber, we’ve changed the conditions to replicate the summer or winter and we’ve got them to run a 10km under both of those conditions and taken various measurements on each runner while they’ve been completing their 10km.”
Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through droplets of sweat. He says the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin.
【1】What can we know about running in winter?
A. It increases pressure of the body. B. It improves the function of body.
C. It makes your heart rate higher. D. It needs more water than in summer.
【2】What can we know about the research according to the text?
A. Researchers interviewed the subjects
B. Subjects were asked to run in winter and summer.
C. Subjects built the “environmental chamber”.
D. Biological measurements of the runners were recorded.
【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “replicate” in Paragraph 7?
A. Combine. B. Remember.
C. Copy. D. Decorate.
【4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Environmental Chamber B. The Way of Losing Heat
C. Running in Cold Weather Improves Performance D. Biological Measurements of the Runners
24、The Los Angeles Fire Department introduced its newest firefighter, a robot on wheels that can burst out 2,500 gallons of water a minute, and go where it’s not safe for humans to step in. The bright yellow machine is called RS3, which is short for Robot Solution 3.
“The Los Angeles Fire Department is the first in our country to get this amazing piece of new equipment,” Chief Ralph Terrazas told viewers. The chief said he became aware of the value of firefighting robots when he saw one named Colossus on the news. It moved forward into the depths of Notre-Dame de Paris to take up the fight from human firefighters for the roof threatened to collapse. Colossus was widely credited with helping save both lives and the building.
“It got me thinking about the large fires we have here. We had one of those fires downtown early this morning,” the chief said of a flame that set fire to two downtown businesses before 130 firefighters, including one who suffered minor injuries, put it out. A similar one last month destroyed a nearly finished apartment building for homeless people. “Sometimes we have to back our firefighters out of the burning building for their safety,” Terrazas said. “Then they must fight the fire from the outside, using hook-and-ladder trucks,” he added. “This is effective but takes a long time and uses much more water than we normally do inside the building.”
Terrazas said it is not only able to rush into a burning building, but also open a path later for its fellow human firefighters by pushing debris out of its way. On a freeway, it can push a car out of the way to get to a burning tanker truck.
【1】What made Terrazas decide to introduce RS3 to firefighting?
A.Lack of human firefighters in Los Angeles.
B.Huge damage caused by the fire in Notre-Dame de Paris.
C.Application of firefighting robots in other local fire departments.
D.Colossus’s excellent performance in fighting Notre-Dame de Paris fire.
【2】Why did Tenrazas mention the fire in downtown Los Angeles?
A.To emphasize the scale of the fire.
B.To praise the bravery of firefighters.
C.To indicate the necessity for robot firefighters.
D.To introduce the working environments of firefighters.
【3】How can RS3 help human firefighters according to Paragraph 4?
A.By clearing the access paths.
B.By fetching water from rivers.
C.By giving instructions to firefighters.
D.By driving a burning tanker truck away.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Robot Firefighters Saved Los Angeles
B.Los Angeles’s Human Firefighters Are in Trouble
C.Robot Firefighters Gain Nationwide Popularity
D.Los Angeles Welcomes the Nation’s First Robot Firefighter
