26、 Airbnb is quickly becoming one of the biggest websites to book travel, which allows you to book a stay with individual hosts.
Benefits of booking a stay through Airbnb:
● Breakfast and snacks are often included in the price.
● You can arrange an early check-in or late check-out, space permitting, for NO extra charge.
● Many Airbnb places have a washer, full kitchen, and free internet.
● Travel with friends or family and stay together in one home.
● Stay in any part of town, NOT just where the chain hotels are located.
● Visit a unique destination where there are NO hotels.
● Meet lots of interesting people along the way!
Get a Better Price!
Because it's based on person-to-person interaction, you'll have lots of room to negotiate a better price.
1. Book Close to When You Want to Stay
Airbnb places get booked months in advance. Sometimes hosts find they have gaps to fill between stays, even up to the current day. In that case, the host might accept a lower offer. Send them a message and ask if there's a discount for booking the same week as your stay. Or even the same day!
2. Stay Longer
If you offer to stay a week or longer, some hosts are willing to offer discounts. That's because they won’t have to spend the costs of cleaning, laundry, and their time while you're staying.
3. Go in the Off-Season
Summer is the peak travel season for most of the US and Europe, especially if you're visiting a tourist destination. Hosts won't be as willing to negotiate because they know they can charge high rates. But if you want to stay between peak seasons, you might get a discount!
4. Offer Something in Return
Do you have a handy skill? Are you good at gardening, painting, or repairing things? Ask the host if they need help with changing light bulbs, fixing a leaky sink, or nailing down squeaky base boards. There are lots of ways that people can help each other. Where can you offer something in exchange for a discount?

28、 By 11:00, Gopamma knew something was wrong. Her husband, Hanutha, should have returned from collecting firewood an hour before.Gopamma sent for her son, who gathered a search party and headed to Bandipur Tiger Reserve, a nearby national park in south-western India. Just inside the forest, they discovered Hanutha’s half-eaten remains. The tiger that killed him was still sitting next to the body.
In the face of her husband’s death, Gopamma struggled not only with grief but economic hardship. Her son had to drop out of university. “My life was much better when my husband was alive,” she says. “My older son could have studied, but now both of my sons have to work. I feel insecure and dependent.”
Despite all this, Gopamma feels no hate toward the tiger that killed her husband. Like many Hindus in India, she views humans and creatures, each with an equal right to existence. Her husband’s death, she says, has nothing to do with the fact that the government is trying to save tigers: “This was my fate.”
Rural Indians are unique in the world for their high tolerance for co-existing with potentially deadly wildlife. “You don’t find this in other cultures,” says Ullas, a biologist at the Wildlife Conservation Society and a leading expert on tigers. “If this kind of thing happened in Montana or Brazil, they’d wipe out everything the next day.”
The country holds just 25% of total tiger habitat, but accounts for 70% of all remaining wild tigers, or around 3,000 animals today.Success does not come without cost, however.They still have a lot of difficulties with tigers breaking into human-dominated places in certain parts of India,livestock(牲畜) are killed and sometimes so are people.
Some animal activists think that there are too few tigers left in the wild ,so even one shouldn’t be killed.Tigers are treasures, we’d better live with them together.
【1】Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “remains” in the first paragraph?
A.ashes B.body C.rest D.flesh
【2】How was Gopamma’s life after her husband’s death?
A.She suffered financial difficulties.
B.Her life was much better than before.
C.She hated the tiger and was in deep sorrow.
D.She became independent and supported her sons with their studies.
【3】The sentence “You don’t find this in other cultures.” in the fourth paragraph implies ______.
A.Other cultures keep tigers as pets.
B.Other cultures can kill tigers casually.
C.Rural Indians can bear the killing caused by the tiger.
D.People wipe out the tigers once they see them in Montana or Brazil.
【4】What can we know from the article ?
A.Gopamma’s two sons used to study in the university.
B.Tigers often break into indians’ houses and kill the villagers.
C.Gopamma knew something was wrong in the early morning.
D.Hanutha was found killed in the forest in a national park.
29、 It may be time to tailor students’ class timetables to their natural biological rhythms (节律)， according to a new study.
Researchers tracked the personal daily online activity records of nearly 15,000 college students. Based on their activities on days when they were not in class，firstly the researchers divided the students into different sorts. They are “night owls”—students who enjoy staying awake all night，“daytime finches”—students who are active in the daytime，and “morning larks”—students who get up early. Then the researchers compared their class times with their academic results.
Their findings showed that students whose biological rhythms were out of step with their class timetables，for example，night owls taking early morning courses，received lower grades. This disagreement is caused by the “social jet lag”(社会性时差)—a condition in which one’ s peak watchfulness times are in disagreement with work，school or other demands. “We found that most students were being jet lagged by their class times，which was related very strongly with their dropping academic performance，”said Benjamin Smarr.
“Our research indicates that if a student can always keep the same schedule pattern in which class days resemble non class days，they are more likely to achieve academic success，”said Aaron Schirmer. While students of all categories suffered from class caused jet lag，the study found that night owls were especially to be affected easily. But it’ s not as simple as students just staying up too late. “Because owls are later and classes tend to be earlier，this mismatch hits owls the hardest，but we notice that larks and finches who take later classes also suffer from the mismatch，”said Smarr.
Different people really do have biologically various timing，so there isn’t a one-time-fits-all way for education. The results suggest that “rather than warn late students to go to bed earlier，in disagreement with their biological rhythms，we should work to individualize (使个性化)education. In this way，learning and classes are structured to take advantage of knowing at what time of day a given student will be most fit to learn，” Smarr said.
【1】Why did the researchers carry out the new study？
A. To make timetables more suitable to students’ biological rhythms.
B. To analyze the causes of students’ different sleeping patterns.
C. To ask students to pay more attention to their health.
D. To keep track of students’ daily online activities.
【2】Which is probably the main cause of students’ poor grades？
A. Tight class timetables. B. Biological diversity.
C. Social jet lag. D. High academic demands.
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph？
A. Education should be individualized.
B. Biologically various timing calls for proper solutions.
C. Education should focus on students’ full development.
D. Students should adapt themselves to various education patterns.
【4】What does the text mainly talk about？
A. Students should keep a busy timetable.
B. Students should have good sleeping habits.
C. Students have biologically various timing.
D. Biological rhythms matter in students’ grades.

Rapidly advancing technology and its impact on education has been a subject of debate. How can schools equip students with the skills they need to succeed in a challenging job market?
Since technology is driving these changes, there is a theory that governments should keep focusing on STEM subjects. These are often referred to as “hard skills,” which are 【1】 in primary school and right through to university level. In the meantime, ‘soft skills’ are being 【2】.
This is a mistake. Much evidence suggests that soft skills are far more 【3】 to graduates in the long term. Research from Harvard University on the global job market has shown that STEM- related careers grew strongly between 1989 and 2000 but have slowed down since. In contrast, jobs in the creative industries----the sector probably most 【4】 with the need for soft skills---are growing rapidly. Soft skills are, in fact, increasingly in demand in the workplace: Google cites creativity, leadership 【5】 and communication skills as top requirements for both potential and current employees.
So why are soft skills so highly 【6】 for?
With the rapid evolution of technology, a focus on hard skills leaves students 【7】 to change, as these often have a short shelf life. According to research by World Economic Forum, more than one in four adults reports a mismatch between their skills and those needed for their job role. If soft skills are taught well, these skills should enable students to adapt to change more easily and progress further in their 【8】 career.
Of course, technical skills are important. But without the curriculum placing equal--- if not greater --- 【9】 on soft skills, our education systems are missing a huge trick. Hard skills may help a student get a job in a particular industry, but soft skills will help them disrupt it, achieving a wider 【10】 in their chosen field.
