7．General Airport Tips
Plan to get to the airport at least an hour early，or two during holidays and other busy times；this will reduce the stress of the flight，If all goes well，you will have time to relax，shop for last-minute items，or have a meal before the flight．
Flight Delays
Find out why your flight is delayed．Gall the free call numbers．Find out if other airlines are experiencing similar delays．If you believe the delay is due to something other than weather or air traffic problems，then mention your suspicion（懷疑）and ask the airline agent to book you on the next available flight，either on the same air-line or a competing one．This is called"Rule 240"，and all airlines are required to do it．Use the lingo（行話）；ask，"Can you 240me？"when speaking with an agent．They will know what you mean．
Flight Cancellations（取消）
If your flight is canceled，then make a reservation on the next flight to your destination（目的地）．Usually，air-line officials will try to book everyone on their next flight out．Often they will put you on a competitor's next flight only if you request it．If on-time arrival is important to you，when you check flights through our reservation system yon can make your choices based on their on-time arrival records．Be sure to also check the weather conditions，as they often affect flight schedules．

點評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實于原文，因此，每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項 （3）排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．
