Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to find rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to call a friend and ask for a ride, and half the time they’ll say, “Sorry, my car is full.” But with Twitter, you just tweet (贴子,留言) and look for other people heading the same way.
It may sound risky, but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends of friends when asking on Twitter. For me, I only rideshare with people I know, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.
The sharing economy got big during the recession（经济衰退）. It allows people to access more goods and services using technology, while also allowing them to share cost. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom.
According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license. Today it’s six in ten. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16^thbirthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license. All I wanted was an iPhone. Juliet Schor (Sociology professor at Boston College) knows people my age love being connected and for young people driving means they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.
To me, another plus is ridesharing represents something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.
【小题1】The writer usually rideshares with _____.

A．anyone heading the same way	B．people he knows
C．friends of friends	D．strangers of his age

B．getting a driving license becomes more difficult.

C．driving one’s own cars causes a negative impression.

D．driving makes them disconnected from technology.

【小题3】We can conclude from the passage that _____.

A．the writer rideshares just to save money

B．people under 18 are not allowed to drive

C．silver Super Beetle is the writer’s favorite

D．the older generation had to fight for freedom

【小题4】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Teens use Twitter to thumb rides.

B．Tips on reducing risks in ridesharing.

C．Car is no longer a gateway to freedom.

D．New generation knows how to save money.

If you don’t think technology can improve your trip better, meet Judy. When she recently checked into the Biu Hotel in Zurich, a clerk asked her to pay hundreds of dollars higher than the online offer. It was not a cheap stay, but it became more of one after she fired up the Booking. Com app she’d used to purchase her room on her smartphone. “As soon as I showed him the rate, he honored it,” Judy says.
Technology may create challenges for travelers-indeed, it may have led to Judy’s rate confusion in the first place-but it can also solve them. The solutions go beyond making sure of a hotel rate. The latest version of Booking.com is among the most feature-rich booking programs. Users can select hotels by location, make a secure booking and view the confirmed rate.
Another pain point for travelers is traffic that eats away precious vacation time. There’s a new app for that, called Commute. As the name implies, it’s aimed at users who have to make the same trip every day. Just input basic information about your destination and expected leaving time, and the app will start sending you traffic data 15 minutes before you leave.
Another source of travel-related conflict and confusion is money. That’s particularly true when you’re dealing with a foreign currency. The latest version of Travel Money Tracker helps travelers prevent currency mix-ups. It instantly converts(兑换) a country’s native currency to yours, so you know exactly how much that Espresso(浓咖啡) in Milan costs in dollars. One extra feature is the ability to set up an alert that tells you when you’re overspending, which can sometimes be a problem when you’re on vacation. The only catch, of course, is that you have to remember to record all your purchases.

   Online shopping has become very popular in recent years. It’s a brand new way for shopping, and at the same time, it saves money because items sold online are much cheaper. Therefore, customers from different countries are changing their ways of shopping. As for some wise men, they find another way to save much more money-using online coupons（优惠券）to shop. Online coupons enable them to get the items they want to buy much cheaper.

As we all know, sometimes manufacturers, shops, restaurants and entertainment clubs will provide special offers. For example, a shirt asks for $100, but if a coupon is used, the customers may get the shirt at $90. Sometimes, by using a coupon, one can luckily get a free product. Online coupons work in the same way; online shoppers get discounts by using online coupons.

In this case, you are advised to do some research to make sure whether there is a coupon or vouchers（代币券）concerned with the items you want to buy online. Then comes the point where to find online coupons. Usually there are three ways:

1. Find the official websites of the brands. To promote sales, some brands will offer online coupons on their own websites.

2. Visit the special coupon websites. There are special websites where coupons from many shops, restaurants and so on are gathered. Buyers input（输入）keys of coupons they are fond of, and thousands of related coupons in different cities in America will be listed. To narrow down your list, just click the district you are located in.

3. Pay attention to some social websites. To let more people know coupon information, some shops will show their information on social websites where a lot of online buyers visit.

Because information on the Internet often cannot be cleaned in time, much invalid information will be searched out. So when you find a proper coupon, please don’t get carried away. Read the information carefully, ensuring that they have not expired（失效）yet. If interested, you can visit Couponeed. com to find coupons and save money.

   Smartphones have been blamed for everything from taking drivers’attention from driving to keeping people on the sofa scrolling (滚屏) videos. But the smartphone that seems to be everywhere could just easily increase physical activity if it pushes its owner’s buttons in the right way.

New research shows that making social connections (人际关系) through activity-tracking apps gets people to move more. And another study on the “Pokemon Go” phenomenon shows that the smartphone game got players to take thousands more steps than usual. Together, the studies show the potential (潜在性) of smartphones to push a range of people to be more active.

People who linked with friends on the activity-tracking app increase their steps by 400 a day on average, compared with people who made no social connections, according to Tim Althoff and two other computer scientists at Stanford University. Such opinions show the possibilities of smartphones and games to help with one of the most stubborn public health problems — that even people who want to be active have trouble staying active.

An NBA video game, for example, will give players extra powers in the game if they reach a step goal in real life. The app “Zomies, Run!” uses audio stories to push people to run more or run faster.

Still, there is room for growth: Only about 4% of all health apps use “gamification”, such as point- scoring or competition, according to a study published in October in BMJ Open. “Gamification is actually quite closely linked with behavior change techniques,” says Dr. Elizabeth Ann Edwards, the study’s lead author.

【小题1】According to the “Pokemon Go” phenomenon, smartphone users become more active because __________ .

A．they have more social connections	B．they get extra powers in life
C．the games increase physical activity	D．a life goal has been set step by step

【小题2】Who are most likely to exercise more?

A．Video watchers on the sofa.	B．Smartphone game lovers.
C．People with no social connections.	D．People with trouble staying active.

【小题3】How does the author try to argue the benefits of smartphones?

A．By showing the results of some research.

B．By explaining the functions of smartphones.

C．By giving clear description of some games.

D．By analyzing the causes of public health problems.
