旅行有益于人的身心健康,是一件愉快的事情。如果学会在旅行中省钱,那就更令人快乐了。
Wouldn ' t you want to travel more often without breaking the bank? If you are interested, read on to find out how you can do simple things to save money next time you go on vacation.
单元话题导入
Airfares
Plan in advance and visit discount websites to see if there are better deals. If you are planning to stay in two countries and an airline makes you change planes on those countries anyway, you might be in luck. Check pricing on the flights to see if you can stay a few days at the country of the flight change instead of changing planes right away since airlines often let you do that for the same price.
单元话题导入
Accommodations
Sometimes the smaller towns close to where you are going have hotels that are much less expensive. If you don ' t mind the 15-minute ride, you might just save a large amount of money. Home exchanges are pretty cool and popular especially in Europe. If you are of the adventure type, this could be exciting and refreshing. Sometimes smaller hotel chains are willing to give you free upgrades or even free nights. If you are staying at a destination for at least a few days, consider a vacation home instead of hotels. They are often more comfortable and your cost will probably be cheaper.
单元话题导入
Eating
Figure out where you will be and eat before you actually go out. Avoid breakfast from the hotels because chances are good that the breakfast from the hotel is expensive and isn ' t great. It probably pays to walk out the front door in the morning and find a local cafe. You might just discover the local favourite unexpectedly. Want a breakfast that costs nothing? Ask for some bread to-go at the restaurant the night before. In addition, fancy lunches are often much less expensive than dinners. If you eat a big lunch and a light dinner, it ' s also healthier.

非限制性定语从句
一、非限制性定语从句的用法
非限制性定语从句与先行词的关系比较疏散,从句只是对先行词起补充说明的作用,若去掉它,句子的意思仍然完整。从句和主句之间常用逗号隔开,译成汉语时,从句常单独译成一句话。引导非限制性定语从句的关系代词有as, which, whom, who, whose等,关系副词有when, where等。
语法归纳
Tom's father, who is over sixty, still works hard day and night.
汤姆的爸爸已经60多岁了,依然日夜努力工作。
All of us went to the Palace Museum, where we visited the clock section.
我们所有人都去了故宫博物院,在那儿我们参观了钟表馆。
语法归纳
二、使用非限制性定语从句应注意的问题
1. 非限制性定语从句不用that引导。
I am fond of the novel, which you bought for me.
我非常喜欢那本小说,就是你给我买的那本。
2. 非限制性定语从句不能用why引导,要用for which代替why。
I have told him the reason, for which I missed the early bus.我没能赶上早班车,我已经告诉了他原因。
语法归纳
3. 关系代词和关系副词在非限制性定语从句中一般不省略。
He was eager to go to the hospital to see his stepmother, whom he loved and respected as his own mother.
他急于去医院看望他的继母,他把他的继母当作亲生母亲一样爱戴和尊敬。
语法归纳
三、as, which引导非限制性定语从句时的区别
1. 两者都可引导非限制性定语从句,指代主句或主句的一部分内容,有时可以互换。但as引导的从句位置较灵活,能置于主句之后、之前或插在主句中间,且有“正如……”之意;而which引导的从句只能置于主句之后。
语法归纳
As we know, light travels faster than sound.
=Light, as we know, travels faster than sound.
=Light travels faster than sound, as we know.
正如我们所知,光的传播速度比声音的传播速度快。
My parents often treat me as a baby, which I can ' t bear.
我的父母常常把我当小孩看待,这是我难以忍受的。
语法归纳
2. as常用于as is well known, as often happens, as may be imagined, as we know, as we can see, as we expect等结构中,而which不能。
Smoking is harmful to one ' s health, as is known to all.
吸烟有害健康,这一点是众所周知的。
语法归纳
四、“介词+which/whom”引导的非限制性定语从句
“介词+关系代词”既可以用于限制性定语从句,也可以用于非限制性定语从句。而且还可以与关系副词where,when等转换。
He came to a farm, on which he finally settled down.
他来到一个农场,最终在那里定居。
He has two sons, both of whom are doctors.
他有两个儿子,都是医生。

Nowadays, this phenomenon happens frequently, causing pollution to the environment and bringing heavy burden to the cleaners.
基础写作知识
Obviously, it is the ignorance of safety that leads to such behaviour. In my view, we should take measures to solve the problem. On the one hand, laws should be made to stop it. Whoever throws waste from cars or buses will be fined. On top of it, the government can offer taxi drivers free waste bags so that passengers can throw waste into the bags. On the other hand, individuals should develop the awareness of environment and keep it in mind that safety comes first. Only when all the people attach importance to society ethics can we have a better environment to live in.

[导读] 你知道到美国读大学需要多少费用吗?申请时应该注意哪些事项呢?
①Students who want to attend an American college or university must explain how they will pay for their education.They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study. ②Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live in, which is known as room and board.They also need money for books and supplies.And they need money to spend on social activities and other things.
延伸拓展阅读
Educational advisers say foreign students should have enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of expenditure.So how much will a year at an American school cost? Generally speaking, the answer is—a lot. A leading state university in the Pacific Northwest will serve as an example.The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than $36,000 this year.This major research university currently has 2,600 foreign students from more than one hundred countries.There are many schools that cost less, but also others

that cost more.Its website says the University of Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students.This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level.
The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name someone who will help with payments.③These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money. Your government or

employer may be able to help you pay all or some of the college costs. A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before you want to start classes in the United States.

【典句赏析】
①句意:想去美国上大学的学生必须说明他们会如何支付他们的教育费用。
赏析:关系代词who引导的从句作定语修饰先行词students;宾语部分是how引导的从句。如:
Those who want to succeed must know how they can reach their goals.
凡是想成功的人必须知道他们如何才能达到目标。
延伸拓展阅读
②句意:学生们不得不考虑的不仅有学费,即上课的费用,还有饭钱和居住费用,这个就是大家都知道的食宿费用。
赏析:not only…but also为并列连词,连接的成分作动词consider的宾语;其中which引导的句子为修饰宾语的定语从句。如:
He can speak not only English but also French and Russian, which are seldom spoken in this country.
他不仅会说英语而且还会说法语和俄语,这两种语言在这个国家很少讲。
延伸拓展阅读
③句意:这些人必须把从银行开办的证据发过去来证明他们有钱。
赏析:此处that连接的句子为宾语从句。如:
You may rely on it that I shall help you.
你可以指望我会帮助你。
