Ways to Book the Cheapest Flights Possible
Unless you are one of those first-class fliers for whom money is not a problem,1.. But ticket prices change every day, and your tickets could end up costing your whole vacation budget. Don't worry. With a little creativity and a lot of research, it is possible to fly affordably.
Plan Accordingly
If you do not have much flexibility（弹性）in your dates, buy your tickets at least 2-4 months in advance.2.. Air fares will rise steadily as the time nears. However, if you have the flexibility to drop everything and go, last minute deals can save you much.
Set air fare Alerts（新知通告）
No matter when you start your planning, it can be helpful to set email alerts for flights to the destination（目的地）of your choice. There are generally recognized days when air fare is the cheapest（Tuesdays or Wednesdays）,3.. Sometimes the best deal will come through a surprise sale.
4.
Yes, it is way more convenient to fly direct from your home airport to your destination. But this depending on where you live. Sometimes, purposely including a stopover can actually save you money.
Search Single Seats
It may be cheaper to buy each ticket individually（个人地）for the same flight,5.. It works because airlines set different prices for different seats on the same plane! When a group of seats are sold together, the airline often charges the highest price among the group for all the seats.
A.Add A Stop.
B.Always Fly Non-stop.
C.even if you are traveling as a group.
D.but you can't necessarily rely on that.
E.you don't want to spend more than you have to on air fare.
F.That might mean you begin researching 4-6 months ahead.
G.That way you'll have plenty of time to get prepared for the trip.
Researchers from the Institute for Human Ma succeeded in training a 165-pound human-like robot, called Atlas, to move across narrow blocks using a system called LIDAR.
At first sight, a robot walking across several blocks may look like a simple thing but many actions that humans can do easily are difficult for robots as heavy as Atlas.
Our joints （关节） and a natural balance system allow us to deal with different obstacles （障碍）easily. Besides, our small, narrow feet allow us to move around tight obstacles easily, or step over obstacles, while supporting ourselves.
With atlas, LIDAR uses a pulsed laser（脉冲激光器）to measure the distance between objects and this is done by the machine so it can step correctly on the blocks. It also builds a map of the area Atlas's going to travel across, and then uses a‘ path planning algorithm（算法）’to determine each step it should take. The robot is able to balance with its human-like feet and joints which give it ranges（范围）of movement.
Presently Atlas is successful with about half of its tests, according to IHMC, but the company is already working to increase that rate by improving the robot's balance and the range of movement in its joints.
Perhaps the most interesting setting for using human-like robots is outer space. The team say that when humans explore other planets, robots like Atlas could go before that to develop a habitat suitable for human beings to live in. But researchers believe they would be immediately useful in dangerous emergency situation. Their ability to walk on different types of land could make them perfect for searching a fallen building or an earthquake for people trapped, where a wheeled robot would get stuck.
1.Why is Atlas' weight mentioned?
A.To show the success of the research. B.To compare Atlas with other robots
C.To make readers interested in the topic. D.To tell how Atlas walks independently.
2.What does Atlas depend on to keep balance?
A.LIDAR. B.Its natural joints.
C.Narrow blocks. D.Its weight.
3.What can we learn about Atlas?
A.It can easily walk across different obstacles. B.It is still under improvement.
C.A pulsed laser decides each step it takes. D.It helps create a map of outer space.
4.What might Atlas do in the distant future?
A.Save lives in dangerous situations. B.Rebuild fallen houses
C.Forecast earthquake. D.Explore possible living space.
When I first met George, I was in my early 30s. My children were just entering school life allowing me to escape from endless housework. At 65, George had recently left work and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years. For both of us, we loved painting and we met at a local TAFE painting class. Thus began a friendship that was to last for 25 years —until the day he died.
George was an energetic man who lived life to the full. He loved his family, his friends, and was loyal and outspoken. As the only male in a painting class full of women, George quite enjoyed it. He ruled the roost（栖息处）and we were his hens. He loved his singular（单一的）role and looked after his hens with the same attention he gave to everything.
He took to painting with passion and devotion. He carefully housed his expensive painting tools a box—a red metal tool box—built to bear hard knocks. Not fancy, but smooth and shiny and very red.
In 2004, I learned that he was very ill and went to visit him. “He's very confused and may not recognize you,” Penny, his daughter, warned. But as I bent over, George opened his eyes —“Bev!” he said, and with surprising strength, held my hand. ”I’ve always been hoping to leave my box to you. I'm afraid I can’t paint anymore, and you have the best talent and are most likely to use it," he said. With tears in my eyes, I accepted the gift on the proviso（附带条件）he could take it back at any time. He never did. He died two days later.
Today I still use much of his equipment kept in the box. As I paint I big personality, generous spirit and unfailing encouragemen. The box is still in good shape, very red. The original shop sticker is still firmly in place although the price has worn off.
But that's all right because to my mind something, like friendship, are beyond price.
