A prmtin（促销活动）ffering 98 yuan dmestic plane tickets is being advertised by Chinese nline travel platfrm LY.COM. While such a lw price sunds amazing, there is just ne catch: The purchaser is nt tld where the flight is heading, nr when it will take ff.
The prmtin has becme a trending tpic n Chinese scial media as sme peple have been attempting t bk them ahead f the upcming May Day hliday. Labeled as a “destinatin blind bx” n the site, tickets are purchased thrugh a rather hassle­less bking prcedure, in which passengers prvide their travel infrmatin, select a departure airprt and then pay their 98 yuan. If the randmly chsen date and destinatin are unsuitable,
users may ask fr a refund, but nce they “lck in” their tickets, there is n ging back.
“Destinatin blind bx” is nw a ht tpic n China’s nline platfrms. “I believe yung peple are a big target demgraphic（特定年龄段人口）fr this prmtin, because they nt nly enjy the thrill f the unknwn, but als like t shw ff their lives thrugh these types f cmmercial activities. Like this ne fr instance, it desn’t matter if they finally g r nt. Bking a ticket and psting abut it n scial media can still suggest that ne has adventurus and life­lving qualities,” said Fan, a marketing expert wh has wrked with civil aviatin
（航空）clients.
Many peple nt nly shared the screenshts f tickets they drew, sme even came up with a tutrial t teach the bking prcedure under the free canceling plicy. Hwever, sme thers claimed it is t rare t draw a ticket that is ideal. “If it wants t be a prfitable activity, the release f the tickets must have been planned ahead and is nt as randm as it seems. It will nt have ppular airlines. The marketing campaign may als be aimed at the fast sale f sme tickets frm less ppular airlines that were riginally nt that expensive. If they sell a large quantity f tickets, the cmpany may still earn a prfit even thugh the price is 98 yuan,” an expert in turism suggested.
Which f the fllwing best explains “catch” underlined in paragraph 1?
Benefit.B. Disadvantage.C. Mistake.D. Charm.
What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
The rigin f “destinatin blind bx”.
The ppularity f “destinatin blind bx”.
The riginal purpse f “destinatin blind bx”.
The purchase intrductin t “destinatin blind bx”.
Why will “destinatin blind bx” appeal t yung peple accrding t Fan?
It helps them save mney n the cst f travel.
It allws them t experience varius adventures.
It satisfies their desire t travel arund China.
It accrds with their lifestyle and attitudes.
What can we infer abut the prmtin frm the last paragraph?
It makes it easy t get an ideal ticket.
It will nt bring in any prfit.
It still needs t be imprved.
It will give a bst t turism.

dinner，have a small，lwfat snack.This may help t keep yu frm vereating when yu see tables full f delicius fd.
Begin with clear sup and fruit r vegetables.A large glass f water befre yu eat may help yu feel full.Use a small plate.A large plate will encurage yu t have mre than yu need.Stay away frm highfat fds.Dishes that lk ily r creamy have a lt f fat in them.Chse meats cntaining little r n fat.Fill yur plate with salad and green vegetables.If yu have a sweet tth，try fruits.They dn’t have as much fat as cream and chclate.
Dn’t take a break frm exercise during the hlidays.A 20minute walk after a meal can help burn ff extra calries.
