XII. Read the following passage then choose the best answer to complete each sentence. (5 pts) Cheap airplane tickets: To fly for less money, you can buy non-refundable plane tickets two or three months before your trip. The cheapest way to fly is as a courier. In return for delivering a package for a courier company, you get a plane ticket that costs as little as one quarter of the regular fare or even less if the company needs someone at the last minute. Recently, a courier flew round trip from Los Angeles to Tokyo for $100; a regular ticket cost around $1,800. Train passes: If you are going to do a lot of travelling by train, a train pass will save your journey. Buying a single pass gives you unlimited travel for a period of time. Train passes can be especially useful in India, which has the world’s largest rail system; in Japan, where trains are fast and convenient; and in Europe, where trains go to over 30,000 cities.

They’re not only cheap but a great way to meet people. Hostels are often in interesting places - a castle in Germany, a lighthouse in California, a one-room schoolhouse in the wilderness of Australia. And sometimes hostels have luxuries like swimming pools. 1. In order to fly cheaper, you can A. book two months before your trip. B. book three months before your trip.
