阅读理解 The United States：Fliers may want to have their tickets in hand before catching their planes, but the airline companies are doing everything they can to bring forward cost-saving ticketless flight－no paper needed, just a ticket number and a photo ID(带照片的身份证)．Anyone who buys a Northwest E-ticket through the airline's computer service by June 16 will get an award(奖励)．Next time you fly, you can buy another ticket for a friend for ＄ 99, good anywhere in the US or Canada through Feb．12,2000, along with the lowest ticket prices．Some airlines offer extra frequent-flier miles for the ticketless crowd．And there are rising punishments for paper lovers, American, Northwest, United, and last week, US Airways have raised the cost for lost ticket replacement(替换)to ＄ 70 from either ＄ 60 or ＄ 50．The airlines insist that the increase in price is not meant to push travelers toward E-tickets but only covers the increasing cost of replacing and tracking a missing ticket． |
