3．You could say it's the budget traveller's ultimate prize：knowing exactly when to book a flight to get the cheapest fare.But now one flight comparison website，which analysed 7.5 billion airfares on its top 100 routes worldwide，believes it has found the answer.
According to the research by momondo.co.jye.ai，the ideal time to book a flight is 53 days in advance；a move that may save an average of 33% on the normal fare.For example，a flight from London to Lisbon，when booked 52 days in advance，costs on average ￡209- compared to the average price of ￡287.
Cheaper fares also depend on the time of the flight.Evening departures between 6pm and midnight are typically cheaper，while Tuesday is generally the cheapest day to fly.
As for the most expensive，fares are at their costliest three days before departure，while Friday is normally the most expensive day to take to the air.It is also suggested that travelers should avoid afternoon flights if they are looking to save money.
"In general，it pays to book flights two months in advance." says Momondo spokesman Lasse Skole Hansen. "We found these trends consistent across the board，so bargain hunters should consider flying at night and on a Tuesday，if they want to save money on their travels."
Momondo's research is consistent with previous studies into the age old traveller's dilemma of when to book In January Skyscanner published the results of a three-year study，which found that on average five weeks in advance is the best time to find the cheapest fares.
However，Skyscanner also found this varies according to destinations.The cheapest flights to Greece，for example，were found to be available just three weeks ahead of departure.
The new study by momondo.co.jye.ai coincides with their launch of an interactive tool，F(xiàn)light Insight，which allows travellers to assess the best time，day and season to travel.

A．interviews with travellers

A．A ticket booked three days in advanced for a Friday afternoon flight.
B．A ticket booked one day ahead for a Friday afternoon flight.
C．Tuesday morning ticket booked two months in advance.
D．A ticket for a Friday flight during the summer holiday.
（4）If the advertised price for a plane ticket from London to Paris tomorrow was 90 pound，how much would the buyer expect to pay if he booked the ticket 52 days earlier？
A．30 pounds.
B．60 pounds.

D．120 pounds.

4．Winnie the Pooh is one of the most beloved characters in children's literature.Since his creation by A.A.Milne in 1924 Pooh，his best friend Christopher Robin and their companions- -including a donkey，a tiger and a kangaroo- have featured in books and films in over 40 languages.
There was one little boy，however，who eventually grew to hate the lovely bear.That boy was Christopher Robin Milne，the author's son and on whom Pooh's best friend was based.
Christopher Robin Milne was born in London on August 21，1920 to author Alan Alexander Milne and his wife Dorothy.As a birthday gift he received a teddy bear he named Edward.His new constant companion was about two feet tall，light brown and was always losing its eyes.A.A.Miline based Winnie on Edward，although the name itself came from a bear that lived in London Zoo at that time.
Of course，Christopher himself was a central character in his father's works.As a child，he took great pleasure from this，and even contributed to a few of his dad's stories.Things changed however，when Christopher went away to a boarding school and had to deal with the teasing from the other boys.Then he began to resent his father's fame and part he played in it.When he was 13，he learned how to box to defend himself against bullying from classmates.
While serving in the British Army during World War II，Milne came to increasingly dislike the books because he felt they exploited his childhood.
After his time in the army，Milne entered Cambridge University where he eventually graduated with a degree in English literature.
In July of 1948，Christopher met and quickly married Lesley de Selincourt.His mother however did not approve of the marriage，as she disliked the girl's family.She had hoped that her son would marry another woman，the daughter of her best friend.Because of this the mother refused to see or speak to her son ever again.
After their marriage the couple opened a bookstore which became very successful.Milne had to deal with enthusiastic Pooh fans at time，who would often present him with Winnie the Pooh toys to autograph or as gifts.Although he found these fans tiresome，he admitted they and his father's literary fame were very helpful for his business.
In the years before his own death in 1996 Christopher Robin Milne continued to express his annoyance with Winnie the Pooh，criticising what he considered to be the excessive commercialisation of the character through toys，computer games，movies and cartoons.

（4）Which of the following statements would Christopher Robin Milne probably agree with？

A heavy sea fog was rolling in off the ocean，making it impossible to see more than 20 metres ahead.

At that moment，two lights rushed out of the mist，and drove past at high speed. "Bloody idiot，" said Wells，his partner. "Shall we go after him？"
"In this fog？What's the point？"
Bradstock started the engine，and the police car moved slowly forward into the blanket of dark white mist.
"Brad!That car was an Escort，wasn't it？" asked Wells，all of a sudden. "It might be that Hoskins' boy."
