Time Travel
If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.
The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H.G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.
But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose
using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British
physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship — going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.
Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born．If the time traveler wasn't born, how would he travel back in time？
And would you really like to visit the future？In H．G．Wells' book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles(触角).If that's what's in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.
1.The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show___________．
A．the special feature of the book
B．People's interest in time travel
C．the long history of time travel
D．the contribution of H．G．Wells
2.Einstein's and Hawking's theories_________．
A．suggest the possibility to invent the time machine
B．have similarities in many ways
C．have proved wrong by some time travelers
D．push the invention of the first spaceship
3.In Paragraph 4,“grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that__________．
A．the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather
B．the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather
C．the grandfather's death makes the traveler's birth impossible
D．The reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness
4.According to the passage, what is probably the author's attitude towards time travel？
A．Supportive． B．Unconcerned．
C．Unclear． D．Skeptical．

Tricks to Finding the Cheapest Flights
Travel can be a lifesaver. The right vacation at the right time can refresh your body and mind. But ticket prices are sharply on the rise, many have written off travel as too expensive. However, with a few tricks and a little research, there are still lots of great deals to be had on airline tickets.
Early Bird Gets the Deal. Travel experts say that there are certain times of day when more deals are available. Airfares can change three times a day as airlines adjust their prices to fill up flights. Early morning is when the fares tend to be lowest, but it is a good idea to check every five hours to track prices as they change throughout the day. Also, it’s a good idea to check again at 5 pm when the airlines are trying hardest to fill empty seats.
What Wouldn’t a Business Traveler Do? Most business travelers fly on Mondays and Fridays, so Tuesday and Wednesday are the best days. Airlines will usually lower their prices on these days to aggressively try and fill empty seats.
Avoid the Crowds. Fly to popular places at unpopular times. The slowest time of the year for travel is in the Fall between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Again, to try and fill more empty seats, the airlines will lower prices to get people to fly during this time of the year.
Right Place, “Wrong” Time? By flying to popular destinations at unpopular times, you can secure the best prices from travel companies and airlines. Here’s where flexibility in your planning can pay off. Going to the airline websites and planning your vacation around the best ticket prices offered can result in a fun, cost-effective vacation and maybe widen your horizons to a place you might never have considered before.
Package Deals. Many times the best deals on airfare can be found as part of a package rate. Most travel sites have package rates available and they are definitely worth a look. Often times, the entire package (hotel, airfare, rental car, meals, tours ect) is cheaper than just the plane ticket on another site. These deals are especially good on last minute bookings.
1.What is the passage mainly about? (回答词数不超过8个)
___________________________________________________________________
2.When may the airfares be the lowest of the day? (回答词数2个)
___________________________________________________________________
3.When do business travelers usually fly? (回答词数2~4个)
___________________________________________________________________
4.How can you find the cheapest flight tickets if you plan to travel to popular places? (回答词数3个)
___________________________________________________________________
5.What does the entire package include? (回答词数不超过8个)

阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Annie sometimes felt puzzled by the relationship between her parents.
They never seemed to show much love for each other. Annie believed that people who were in love would show it. They would hold hands, speak sweet words to each other and give each other nice gifts. Annie's parents did none of these things. So, she doubted whether they really loved each other.
It was Annie's plan to ask her parents about their feelings for each other. But it was hard to find the right moment. One Saturday afternoon, she noticed that her dad was in the garage, doing some work on the engine of his sports car.
Annie's dad was always in a good mood when he was near his sports car, so she decided to ask him the question that had been bothering her." Dad, do you and Mom really love each other?"
"Of course," her father replied. "Why do you ask?"
"Well, you never seem to show it."
Annie's father was silent for a while, he spoke again. "Look at the engine of this car," he said. "It is oily and messy, and the car looks much better when the hood (引擎罩) is down. Don't you agree?" Without waiting for a reply, he went on. "If I took out the engine and put the hood back down, the car would look just as beautiful, right? But it wouldn't be a car anymore. The engine is its beating heart. You don't usually see it, but it has to be there. It's the same with your Mom and me. Our love for each other is the beating heart of this family. Don't worry just because it isn't on show all the time. "
About six months later, Annie's father lost his job. The family had to cut back on many things to make ends meet. And he had to sell his beloved sports car. But Annie noticed another change. Because he had more free time, her father spent more of it with her mother. They seemed to grow closer together, and showed their love more often. Their love, which Annie had been afraid did not exist, was plain to see. Annie was sad that the sports car had gone, but at least she understood what her father had told her that day.
1.How did Annie feel about her parents' relationship at the beginning of the article?
A. Confused. B. Angry. C. Satisfied. D. Proud.
2.What did Annie's father compare his love to?
A. A job. B. A story. C. A gift. D. An engine.
3.What happened to the love between Annie's parents after her father lost his job?
A. It no longer existed.
B. It became easier to see.
C. It grew weaker.
D. It changed completely.
4.What is the main idea of the article?
A. Children should pay attention to parents' love.
B. It's not good to show the feelings on the outside.
C. Love may not be seen, but it doesn't mean it isn't there.
D. We don't truly appreciate what we have until it is gone.
