As is true of any flight, travelers should confirm their return flight reservations; otherwise they would have problems. Also, be prepared for a long flight. A nonstop from New York to Beijing lasts 14 hours while a flight to Shanghai lasts up to 18 hours. There are four airport hubs within China: Beijing, Guangzhou Baiyun International, Shanghai Hongqiao and Shanghai Pudong. Each airport includes taxis, public and shuttle buses, duty free shops, banks, post offices, business and Internet facilities and bars and restaurants. Important to note is the departure tax, which is paid in Chinese currency, or RMB, only. Once you are in China, you can take many kinds of transportation like rail, sea and automobile. Railways are the major means of transportation throughout China. The trains are inexpensive, safe and well maintained operating between major cities. There are three types of trains, the Express option being the best of the three. There are four varieties of fare: hard seat, soft seat, hard sleeper and soft sleeper. Children under 3 feet tall travel free and those under 4 feet pay a quarter of the fare. Train travel is often a comfortable experience although it takes much time, due to the distance between major cities. National plane travel saves your time. Flights from Shanghai to Beijing, Hong Kong to Shanghai and Guangzhou to Shanghai are about 2 hours; however, the roundtrip travel costs 350 dollars. Although express train travel between these cities ranges from 12 to 18 hours, the prices are much lower, between 15 to 30 dollars.6.

Preparation is the key to success for any business traveler whether you are an experienced traveler or beginner traveler. Here are my suggestions for preparing for any business trip. Before traveling, research your travel destination and take advantage of free time you may have. On a recent trip to New Haven, I had a few free hours to myself before my plane departed. Ahead of time, I researched a few good restaurants that I wanted to try. I downloaded a Yale walking tour to my cell phone so I could see the campus and take pictures. You may have friends or relatives close to your travel destination. Take their information in case you have an opportunity to see them. Often, business trips are too busy for you to do anything besides going to work, going to dinner, and sleeping. However, sometimes you may have delays or cancellations. You should also check the weather. It may be nice when you are departing for your trip. The weather on your return trip may be a whole other story. There are a few other things to keep in mind when you go on trips. Traveling on the company can be a great way to see the world. Its not a vacation. Business trips can be exhausting! If you are going on a trip for training, you will probably have a few hours of free time each night. You can take this opportunity to know more people. Later you can go back to your hotel room to do work. You could also take advantage of sporting events, shows, or music in the area. With everything well planned, the business travel will be part of your sweet memory.11. _ need preparations for a business travel.A) Only those having their first business travelsB) Only those traveling less than once a monthC) Both first-time travelers and experienced travelersD) All except very experienced travelers Script: _ need preparations for a business travel.正確答案：C學生答案：C 得分：2分 12.
