However, by doing some research and using three little words, you

21、could end up saving a lot of money on accommodations.First, search hotel booking sites like TripAdvisor or Expedia and check out the hotel rates in your location for the dates you would like to book. Take down all the prices you find online for that hotel. But even if you find a steal of a deal or “

22、a special discount”, dont press the book button on the website just yet.After researching prices online, experts say the best way to get the lowest hotel rate is to call the hotel directly not any of the customer service or 1-800 numbers that could be listed as a contact number, especially for a cha

23、in hotel. Then youre going to drop some magic words. While you might be tempted to ask for “the best deal” or “the lowest rate”, your secret weapon here is to use the phrase “cheapest nonrefundable rate.” According to experts at Travel+Leisure, that phrase triggers hotel staff to search for the room

24、 that will cost you the least for your vacation.If you do end up trying to negotiate a better price, mention the numbers you found online and then reduce those prices by 20 percent. Apparently hotels pay a hefty fee to be listed on hotel booking sites, and that 20 percent could actually mean more mo

35、 of Antarctica. Grilffith Tayloran Australian geologist, had discovered a blood red steam pouring out of the ice cascades（瀑布）of Talor Glacier! Popularly known as the Blood Falls, scientists had not been able to find the reason behind the blood red liquid flowing through the ice-until recently. The m

36、ystery of the Blood Falls had finally been solved.When these falls were first discovered, scientists had believed that the red colour came from a large amount of red algae（海藻）concentrated in the water. Red algae contain a pigment（色素）which reflects red light, making the algae appear red.This theory m

37、ade sense, until it was later found that algae do not play a part in the red color of the flowing liquid at all. What really causes Talor Glaciers waters appear blood red, is the presence of iron oxide in the liquid. The waters of the blood falls are rich in salt and iron content, and when this wate

38、r comes in contact with the air, it turns redjust like rust! The water in these falls is often referred to as “brine” by scientists because of the high salt content in the water.This reasoning behind the red colors of the falls was found back in 2003. However, the entire mystery had not yet been sol

39、ved. How is it then, that the Blood Falls are not frozen?Researchers at the University of Colorado and University of Alaska found that inside the glacier, there was a network of channels and reservoirs that move the water around. Salt water has a lower freezing temperature. In addition, when any sub

40、stance undergoes a change in state, it gives off heat. Therefore, the brine actually warm itself up while its freezing! How this works, is that when the brine is flowing through the Talor Glacier, some of it does freeze. As a result of changing state from liquid to ice, the brine gives off heat. Thi

41、s heat is enough to keep the rest of the rest of the brine in liquid form, which is why it flows out of the glacier.Incredible new chemistry facts found, any mystery solved!1、According to the text, the red algae theory was once considered _.Aridiculous BreasonableCimpractical Dcomplex2、Why does the

42、Blood Falls look red in colour?ABecause there is too much salt and iron in its water.BBecause its liquid is rich in red algae.CBecause the following liquid reflects and sunlightDBecause the air is thin and rare in Antarctica.3、What is the main reason for the Blood Falls not freezing?AThe water conti

Some of them focus on the state of the pilot. Are they tired? Stressed? Paying enough attention?Would these people feel any

45、 better if we could get rid of pilots altogether?The technology already seems to be theredrones are not a new invention. Armies use drones in war zones, where they are controlled remotely. Even helicopters can be pilotless, and delivers aid supplies to dangerous locations.Aircraft accidents are rare

46、 today, but when they happen they are getting harder and harder to solve. Thats why investigations often focus on “human factors”, identifying psychological and physiological issues as a probable cause.At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January, Chinese company Ehang displayed the firs

47、t-ever passenger drone. To fly, the passenger needs to set up a flight plan, click “take off” and “l(fā)and” on a tablet, and the computer does the rest. There are other similar efforts to develop personal air transport systems in the US and the UK. But be it a plane thats controlled remotely or by an a

48、rtificial intelligence system, whether its just a passenger pressing a button or a ground crew pulling the wireless strings, one fundamental question hasnt been answered yet: Would we feel at ease flying it we cant see two smartly dressed pilots inside, calmly providing us with weather updates durin

49、g a storm?It appears that people are more comfortable with a pilot directly at the controls, and on the plane. People are of the opinion that being in the vehicle while controlling it is easier than controlling it remotely.There is also one worry: the risk of the unmanned plane getting hacked (黑客攻擊)

50、. It would be necessary to have not only preventive but also recovery measureto stop an attack from happening and “rescue” the aircraft during a hack.Today, it might be difficult for people to accept unmanned planes because when a plane stops, it falls out of the sky. And of course, many people are

51、already nervous about flying, while not many of us are nervous about riding in a car or on a train.1、Which does the passage suggest is among the advantages of pilotless planes?APassengers safety will be ensured.BWell have exactly punctual flights.CPilots conditions can be excluded.DThey can offer a

52、comfortable flight.2、The present problem with pilotless planes seems to be _.Aproducing appropriate planes Bcutting the cost of operationCimproving current technology Dgetting passengers on board3、It is obvious that the passage intends to _.Athrow doubt upon unmanned planesBanalyze the value of pilo
