E

　The United¹ States: 　Fliers may want to have their tickets in hand before catching² 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).

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 lovers³. American, Northwest, United, and last week， US Airways⁴ have raised the cost for lost-ticket replacement⁵(替换)to $70 from either $60 or $50 .
