【答案解析】[听力原文] When you're preparing for a holiday, you should first and foremost make a list of all the documents you'll need. Your list should include the following things: passport, visa, tickets, travel insurance certificate, foreign currency and traveler's cheques. You'll also need your driving license if you plan to rent a car. Tip 1: It's vital to arrange travel insurance for your trip and your travel agent will probably offer it to you when you book. If you lose your baggage or your money, or if you need medical attention while you're away, your travel insurance will help to meet the costs. But be warned, if you're planning a skiing holiday you'll have to pay an additional insurance premium. Tip 2: It's not a good idea to travel with large amounts of cash. Only carry the amount you'll need for day-to-day expenses such as taxis, bus fares and food. Traveler's cheques are a far safer way of carrying money around because you can get a refund if you lose them or if they're stolen. You'll need to order them from your bank in advance, and remember that banks abroad will charge a small commission when you cash them. Tip 3: If you're hoping to do some sightseeing, it's best to buy a guidebook before you go, otherwise you may have to pay the earth for something which is badly translated and barely understandable. If you don't speak the language, take a phrasebook as well—it could be very useful if you get into difficulties and may help to break the ice with the locals. Tip 4: When you're packing, be careful to stick to the airline's baggage allowance or you'll have to pay for the excess weight when you check in. Don't put aerosol sprays in your case, and make sure any sharp objects, like scissors, are carefully wrapped. Tip 5: If you are flying a long distance, there are a few things you can do to reduce the effects of jet-lag. Before you leave, try to adapt your eating and sleeping habits to the time zone you are traveling to. If you eat small amounts through the day, and try to sleep for short periods, it may be helpful. During the flight, walk around the cabin from time to time and drink plenty of water to cut down dehydration which causes exhaustion. Tip 6: Finally it's wise to give the keys of your house to a neighbor or relative so that they can get in in case there's an emergency. Ask them to remove any post from your letter box and don't forget to cancel any deliveries of milk or newspapers. Leave the telephone number of the hotel you are staying in and call to let them know your room number when you arrive so that if they need to get in touch with you, they won't have problems tracking you down.
