The fear that they may become the target of malicious(惡意的)envy makes people act more helpfully toward people who they think might be jealous of them.

Those with benign envy were motivated to improve themselves, to do better so they could be more like the person they envied.52-------- The Dutch researchers then set out to question the effect on the target of the envy.

We all think better-off people should share with others but that's not something we are inclined to do when we are better off..55----------

Book a budget flight
1. Discount airlines tend to increase their fare as the plane fills up and early reservations are usually rewarded with the lowest fares.
Most major domestic airlines offer discount tickets for off-peak travel. China Southern Airlines now provides favorable group purchase ticket deals to attract tourists to cities like Hong Kong and Guilin. 2.
Another way is to search for a cheap ticket on the websites of low-cost airlines, which offer you very low fares though less comfort.
The budget airline has a long history in the West. It’s also called a no-frills carrier(經(jīng)濟型航班)for doing away with traditional free services, such as food and drinks. They charge you extra for catering on board, or securing a seat. 3.
Popular airline routes
Air Asia: The Malaysian-based airline flies form seven cities in China including Tianjin, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Guilin and Shenzhen in the Chinese mainland, and provides trips to cities such as Paris and London. 4. Many tickets are priced under 1500 yuan.
Southwest Airlines: If you go traveling in the US you can take this low-cost airline based in Texas.
Find a cheap 5-star service hotel
5. It’s a great idea to look for YHA(Youth Hostels Associa-tion)backpackers, or Bed & Breakfast deals online.
A.It can transfer you to most South East Asian countries.
B.So you have to read more discount information before boarding.
C.The key to getting any good-priced plane ticket is to reserve the flight early.
D.So it’s wiser to take hand luggage because many budget airlines put a fee on checked in luggage.
E. Air China and Beijing Capital Airlines offer tickets with as much as 75 to 80 percent discounts.
