How to Get the Best Hotel Deal
Taking the entire family on vacation can add up quickly — flights, rental car, gas, meals, snacks, and of course, hotels. However, by doing some research and using three little words, you 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 “a special discount”, don’t 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 chain hotel. Then you’re 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 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 money than they would get if you booked through one of them.
Just don’t wait until the last minute to score a deal, because that can lead to paying more, not less. Fred Lalonde, founder of the travel service Hopper, told Travel+ Leisure that the best deals on hotels are usually available two to three months ahead of the vacation date, potentially saving you more than $270 for an eight-day stay.

【小题1】What does the underlined part “three little words” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．A special discountB．The best deal
C．The lowest rateD．Cheapest nonrefundable rate.
【小题2】According to the passage, the preferred way to get the best hotel deal is to ________.
A．call the target hotels to bargain with the staff
B．collect and compare the prices found online
C．book hotels just before your departure time
D．turn to hotel booking sites for a discount

If you are planning on traveling，there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.

First of all，always check and double­check departure (出发) time.It is surprising how few people really do this carefully.Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten.My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50.When I arrived at the airport，the person at the departure desk told   me that my flight was closed.Therefore，I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.

The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards (信用卡)，it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金).Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed.The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars，I offered to pay in pounds instead.“Listen！I only take real money！”the driver said angrily.You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment.

The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave.I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May，when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester，to places like Athens，Rome or Madrid，where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
