　　EP Portable Heater

　　We all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP portable heater. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heats better and faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent.

　　The EP has no exposed heating parts that can cause a fire. The outside of the EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.

　　The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room. With other heaters, you'll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.

　　The advanced EP also heats the room evenly,_wall to wall and floor to ceiling. It comfortably covers an area up to 350 square feet. Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room. And they only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EP, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.

　　The EP comes with a 3－year warranty(保修) and a 60－day, no questions asked, satisfaction guarantee. If you are not totally satisfied, return it at our expense and your money will be given back to you.

　　Now we have a special offer for 10 days, during which you can enjoy a half price discount and a free delivery. If you order after that, we reserve the right to either accept or reject order requests at the discounted price.

　　Take action right now!

　　Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.

　　AVOID BIG EVENTS　Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost ￡169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost ￡118.15.

　　If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you're looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.

　　STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION　If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.

　　Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was ￡95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was ￡75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡62.95.

　　LOOK AFTER YOURSELF　Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self－catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, available for ￡420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.

　　GET ON A BIKE　London's “Boris bikes” have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.

　　Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around ￡1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day)．

　　56. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________．

　　A. help travelers pass time

　　B. attract lots of travelers to the UK

　　C. allow travelers to make flexible plans

　　D. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation

　　57．“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably ________．

　　A. a hotel away from the train station

　　B. the tube line to Covent Garden

　　C. an ideal holiday destination

　　D. the name of a travel agency

　　58．The passage shows that the O'Neill Flat ________．

　　A. lies on the ground floor

　　B. is located in central London

　　C. provides cooking facilities for tourists

　　D. costs over ￡100 on average per day in late September

　　59．Cardiff's program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________．

　　A. half an hour

　　B. one hour

　　C. one hour and a half

　　D. two hours

　　60．The main purpose of the passage is ________．

　　A. to tell visitors how to book in advance

　　B. to supply visitors with hotel information

　　C. to show visitors the importance of self－help

　　D. to offer visitors some money－saving tips

　　【要点综述】 文章主要介绍了到英国参观时一些省钱的技巧。

　　56. D　推理判断题。文章提到同样的一间房在这个节日和不在这个节日时的价格不同，因此这里是说明在盛大节日时旅行者付出的房费要高一些。

　　57. A　推理判断题。 此段的标题就是讲住宿要远离车站，而作者列举Farringdon的双人间价格非常便宜，因此可以推断Farringdon是一个离车站比较远的宾馆。

　　58. C　细节理解题。 根据此段的“…checking into a self－catering flat with its own kitchen.” 可知，它是一个为游客提供做饭设备的宾馆。

　　59. A　细节理解题。 根据文章最后一句中的“…Cardiff free for up to 30 minutes…”可知，Cardiff能提供最多30分钟的自行车免费租用时间。

　　60. D　写作意图题。 文章主要是说在英国旅游省钱的一些好方法，因此D是最佳选项。
