70、60;had no time to call”, he explained, ”because the couple had to catch a plane home.” The three people made their way past the dirty breakfast dishes on the
71、60;kitchen table and into a bedroom with unmade beds. As I went into the bathroom to comb my hair, I heard the man say something to his wife. Then

74、looking for: As always, the earlier you make your booking the more chance you have of finding hotels with a wider range of rooms to choose from. There is also a
75、 chance of your getting a room that make your budget. The earlier you book your room, the more chance you have of finding available rooms. Booking early means
76、160;you can get a better chance of finding the type of room you want. If you have a budget, booking early gives you the chance of finding what you want
77、0;within it as you are given more options. The search database searches for your criteria using a city name, a 3-letter city code or a 3-letter airport code. DO
78、 not enter airport, state or country name. If you know the 3-letter code of the city you want to stay in or the 3-letter code of an airport located in
79、 the city you want to stay in, use it for the search. This reduces the chance of the search result giving you a list of cities with the same name
80、;or with names that sound like the specified name you search for. If you do not know the 3-letter code of the city or airport and wish to use it, you&
81、#160;can obtain the code using our Decoder, the last column on the search result display List. “From Destination” tells you how far and towards which direction the h
82、otel is located from your destination. Everyone makes spelling mistakes. Check that you have typed the correct spelling for your search. Also remember that we use the
83、0;common names for locations. If unsure about which name you should use for a particular place, use the common, English name. If you still have problems, call us, or
84、 search using the Decoder. The cost for rooms displayed on the results page is the cheapest cost of the rooms per night in the corresponding hotel. Some hotels
85、have separate weekend rates which can be cheaper or more expensive than the weekly rate. Do put this into consideration of the final cost when booking the room. Afte
86、r selecting the room you wish to book, do read the rules for the room or terms and conditions that apply to it. D C D D A B CPassage 2 American Diet Study The
87、160;United States Department of Agriculture has begun a long-term study of weight loss programs. The study is part of an attempt by the federal government to help
88、160;Americans lose weight. American health officials say that more than half of all adults in the United States weigh too much. They say these Americans are l
89、ikely to develop serious health problems. Americans spend thousands of millions of dollars on books, pills and programs to help them lose weight. However, many people
90、60;do not know much about the health effects of weight loss diets. The Department of Agriculture examined earlier scientific studies of popular diets. The new government re
91、port found that many popular diets can help people lose weight. However, it said losing weight is not the same as preventing weight gain. The report said that&
92、#160;traditional diets may be the best way to lose weight and keep the weight off. These diets include eating foods moderated in fats and high in carbohydrates.
93、0; Foods high in carbohydrates include bread, corn, potatoes and rice. The report confirms that dieters can lose weight by limiting what they eat. It said any
94、diet that limits food to about 1,500 calories a day produces weight loss. The report says traditional weight loss programs have the best scientific evidence to support their health claims and rates of success.
