2019年湖南成人高考专升本英语练习试题（六）

　　125. What do you do when you have a 1-jiao coin in your pocket? Perhaps you buy a piece of candy. Maybe you give it to a homeless man in the street. But have you ever used a jiao to fly to a foreign country? Last summer, I flew from London, UK, to Madrid, Spain, and then on to Faro, Portugal, and all the way back home. The cost of these four flights was just 4 pence (4 jiao). It even included all the taxes. Although it was a special offer, it is common to be able to fly between Europe’s major cities for around ￡20 a journey. These days, many young people, especially students, choose this cheap travel as a way of visiting countries around Europe. But don’t expect to be treated like royalty (皇族). Seats are normally cramped, in order to pack as many people as possible onto the flight. Food and drink, which tends to be provided for free on an airplane, is costly. And if you want to watch a movie to pass the time, you’d better buy a potable DVD player with you. The problem with these flights is that added extras cost a lot of money. If you want to buy food on the plane, check-in a big suitcase and get a priority-boarding pass that allows you to skip the line, you can end up paying close to the price of a normal flight. [共5题]
