    You’ve mastered the art of modern-travel savings: Your airfare alerts are set up on Kayak; you flit around Europe on cheap carriers like EasyJet. You stay in apartments rented through Airbnb. You could probably shave a few more cents off travel costs by downloading five new apps and bookmarking 10 new sites. But real savings will come to those who go retro by stepping away from the screen, or using it differently, to find old-fashioned tactics that can save you big. Here are some old-school tips for getting the most out of your travel buck.
    【R1】______
    We think we can get everything done online these days, but sometimes a simple phone call is your best bet for saving money. Speak with an innkeeper and learn of potential discounts on extended stays or information on how to get there from the airport by public transit. Contact the specific location where you’ll pick up your rental car and reserve a compact to avoid getting "upgraded" to a bigger vehicle that will increase(sometimes even double)your gas costs. Call travel agencies that strike special deals with airlines to get your prices below anything you’ 11 find online.
    【R2】______
    Goodbye Norway, hello Bolivia. Or as a blogger put it, "Cheapest dorm bed in Zurich=nice room in Bangkok." Extrapolate that to tour guides, museum entries, food and more, and the savings start to add up. Of course, keep in mind how much it will cost you to get there in the first place. Luckily, a lot of the cheaper countries are also cheap to fly to; another blogger put together a list of 10 "Cheap Places to Travel on the U.S. Dollar," which includes Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Peru, Hungary and Romania.
    【R3】______
    Most travelers will never be across-the-board cheapskates. Street food, nosebleed-theater seats and bunk beds are not for everyone. But you don’t have to be a purist. For each trip, decide on a themed "waste" or two—transportation, food, arts, lodging—and save on the rest.
    【R4】______
    No listings are more up-to-the-minute than Friday arts supplements, alternative weeklies or the local editions of Time Out magazine. Get them on actual paper while they last. You’ 11 not only find the nontouristy scene laid out for you in one handy package, but often come across coupons or specials you certainly won’ t find on Yelp.
    【R5】______
    I still carry a travel guide around when I travel—as backup, if nothing else. But those books are pricey, and there’s so much free information online that, with a little copying and pasting(and printing out), you can come pretty close to matching them with your own bespoke travel guide. So, in a retro twist, no Wi-Fi needed.
【R5】
选项
答案C
解析 浏览本段发现，第一句作者讲自己旅行带一本旅行指南。接下来作者指出纸质版的指南较贵，建议在网上寻找免费信息，打印出来作为自己定制的旅行指南。明确的一个关键词是travel guide，所以C项Use a guidebook--your own为正确答案。
