27、stuff eventually; I am punishing myself by sleeping with them until I do that.”Shocked and upset, I gently explained to her that punishing herself was only to make things worse, and that everybody deserves a place to sleep in peace, no matter what mistakes theyve made.

However, by doing some research and using three little words,
42、 you could end up saving a lot of money on accommodations.First, search hotel booking sites like TripAdvisor or Expedia and check out the hotel rates in your location for the dates you would like to book. Take down all the prices you find online for that hotel. But even if you find a steal of a deal
43、 or “a special discount”, dont press the book button on the website just yet.After researching prices online, experts say the best way to get the lowest hotel rate is to call the hotel directly not any of the customer service or 1-800 numbers that could be listed as a contact number, especially for
44、a chain hotel. Then youre going to drop some magic words. While you might be tempted to ask for “the best deal” or “the lowest rate”, your secret weapon here is to use the phrase “cheapest nonrefundable rate.” According to experts at Travel+Leisure, that phrase triggers hotel staff to search for the
45、 room that will cost you the least for your vacation.If you do end up trying to negotiate a better price, mention the numbers you found online and then reduce those prices by 20 percent. Apparently hotels pay a hefty fee to be listed on hotel booking sites, and that 20 percent could actually mean mo
46、re money than they would get if you booked through one of them.Just dont wait until the last minute to score a deal, because that can lead to paying more, not less. Fred Lalonde, founder of the travel service Hopper, told Travel+ Leisure that the best deals on hotels are usually available two to thr
47、ee months ahead of the vacation date, potentially saving you more than $270 for an eight-day stay.120、What does the underlined part “three little words” in Paragraph 1 refer to?AA special discountBThe best dealCThe lowest rateDCheapest nonrefundable rate.1、According to the passage, the preferred way to get the best hotel deal is to _.Acall the target hotels to b
