Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family’ s last vacation. It was my six - year - old son’ s winter break form school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York, So I had to get back. But that didn’ t mean my husband and my son couldn’ t stay. I took my nine - month - old and took off for home.
The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged - okay, ordered - them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1, 600. Not bad, huh?
Now some people may think I’ m a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big - time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.
I’ ve made living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC’ s Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.
I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’ s worth. I’ m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn’ t hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it’ s the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.
Why did Delta give the author’ s family credits?
选项
A、They took a later flight.
B、They had early bookings.
C、Their flight had been delayed.
D、Their flight had been cancelled.
答案
A
解析
细节题。由Delta定位到第一段,The flight was overbooked,and Delta,the airline,offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day.可知,因为航班超额预定,航空公司不得不取消我们的座位,让我们乘坐第二天的航班,正因为此,他们为我们提供了补贴。由此可知,正确答案为A。
