　　Saying in great, comfortable lodgings(租房)while on a summer vacation doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to spend a lot of money．

　　So if you want to stay in a decent hotel for your summer vacation, but you are on a tight budget, then here are some tips for you to follow：

　　●If you are heading for a big city, stay over on Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights．In cities attracting a lot of business clients, many local hotels lower their weekend rates．You may be able to bargain for a good price at a four-star hotel in a city during the weekend if the hotel isn’t full．Check out websites such as priceline．com, which offer discounts on hotels．

　　●Find accommodations that are an extra 10 minutes or so from the nearest tourist attraction．Close-by hotels, resorts and inns usually cost more than those further away．Lodging on the outskirts can be as much as 25 percent to 30 percent lower．

　　●Book very late or very early．The further you book the better deal you can get．But ________, you can also get a discount．

　　●Compare services．Hotel X may have a higher price tag per room than Hotel Y, but you may be better off staying at the former．That all depends on the type of free services you get．Check to see if the hotel serves free breakfasts and offers free transportation services to tourist spots．

　　Lastly, for those who want to swap apartments or do time shares, there are plenty of sites that can be checked out．For swapping, there is homeexchange．com, which has an annual membership fee of ＄49.95 and gives you access to more than 6000 listings of homes worldwide．

　　[1]Have you ever been offered an alcoholic drink? What about someone's saying “Don’t worry, just have one little sip”? Most people have their first drink by the time they’re 13．That first drink can be the start of a troubled life．

　　[2]Drink can make teens feel good, but that feeling lasts only a short time．Alcohol clouds your brain and hinders your ability to make decisions．Excessive drinking literally makes your brain shrink and can cause serious damage．Over-drinking can cause learning disabilities and damage your memory．It distorts your vision and leads to blackouts．Teenagers often think that drinking will give them more energy, but alcohol isn’t an energy drink－it’s a depressant(鎮(zhèn)靜劑)

　　[3]Drunk driving is one of the top causes of __________ for teen boys．An alcohol-related motor vehicle crash kills one person every 33 minutes and injures someone every two minutes．The rate of teen drunk driving is so high that the government is trying to pass new laws to restrict teen driving．

　　[4]When we get to high school, friends start pressurising us to drink．High school students see alcohol as glamorous and a way to become popular．I conducted a survey at my school．24 of the 63 respondents predicted they would drink in high school．11 said maybe, and 28 said they didn’t plan on drinking．
