[答案] AB(2017·福建省福州市高中毕业班质量检测)Booking a trip on an online travel site is convenient, but comes with its own set of problems.◆They know who's going to spend more.Last year, US travel research company Orbitz tracked people's online activities to test out whether Mac users spend more on travel than PC users. It turned out that on average, Mac users lay out $20～30 more per night on hotels. As a result, online travel sites show these users more expensive travel options first. To avoid paying more, sort results by price.◆Their software doesn't always link the hotel's system.A guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywhere—the risk of your flight or hotel being overbooked increases with third party providers. The middleman's soft ware isn't immune (不受影响的) to system errors, so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking is processed.◆You could miss out on loyalty (忠诚)points.Third party providers can get between you and frequent flyers miles or points. Many hotel loyalty programs don't recognize external sites, while others award only minimum points without special offers, like double points on hotel stays.◆Don't be fooled by packages: Often, they're low－end items grouped together.Ever noticed how travel sites recommend a hotel, a rental car, and tour packages all in one click? These deals usually feature travel that no one wants, like flights with multiple layovers (中途停留). Check the fine_print.◆Once your trip is purchased, you're on your own.An online travel agency can't provide assistance the same way an agent can if a flight is cancelled or a room is substandard. Basically, when you arrive at the airport or hotel, you're just another customer who booked at the lowest rate.语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。
