(2018·四川省绵阳市高三第二次诊断性考试)While money can’t technically buy happiness, it can buy you a mood.lifting, outlook。improving vacation。 Haven’t made plans yet to skip town this winter? These money。saving travel tips can help you book the destination of your choice and enjoy your time there — without breaking the bank.
1.FLY THE COOP FAST
If you're planning to set off for an adventure right away, try the GTFO (Get The Flight Out)
app. It lists the cheapest round。trip flights departing from your local airport that day or by the next morning。 At press time, airfare was down 12 percent from last August and round。trip tickets for domestic flights averaged $218。
2.SNAG A DISCOUNTED HOTEL ROOM
If Airbnb isn’t your style, reserve marked.down accommodations on Tingo, which lists almost all the rooms in more than 155,000 locations worldwide. After you book a price drop room, the site monitors rates until, typically, 24 to 48 hours before check­in. If the price drops, Tingo refunds you the difference.
3.LIVE IT UP LOCALLY
If you’re planning a staycation (不出城度假) this winter, try an affordable escape close to home。 The free app HotelTonight offers lodging (租住) deals in more than 100 U.S. and Canadian cities and regions, and has a location­based feature that gives extra savings on already discounted prices on spots closest to you. Same。day prices fall even lower after 6 P.M.ah yeah

I wanted to have tea with Nirad in a tea break during a retreat (静养). I was holding the cup so he could sip (小口喝) tea. I was being careful and poured a small quantity in his mouth. I enjoyed concentrating on each moment and listening deeply to do a good job with serving tea.
We were immediately connected and befriended each other during this time. Two other retreat participants joined and then there were four us people talking

about varieties of topics which ranged from how Nirad progressed in his education to cool ones like how he maintains his weight, etc. These conversations brought smiles and it seemed we all knew each other from long time ago。 In subtle (巧妙的) ways, we quietly felt the connection。
When we finished tea, I felt like tying a wrist thread for Nirad. The wristband had the letters that read “WE” on one side and “ME" on the other if read upside down。 This beautiful gift was received from the Moved By Love team (a non.profit volunteer organization in India). I told Nirad that my youngest brother is about his age, and he gave me a sweet, calm smile.
I felt deep content during this teatime. I had actually lived those moments, being sympathetic and friendly. It was an experience of joy. Later, during the retreat, each time myself and Nirad happened to greet or talk, we smiled naturally and felt connected.
It's sad that we don't connect deeply, even with our family or friends。 We are just too busy running after things, going nowhere。 We don't seem to concentrate or care enough for people during our conversations. I had these valuable realisations later.
On the last day of the retreat, I told Nirad, “This was the best teatime I ever had in my life." He gave me a warm, unforgettable smile。
