    ARLANDA, Sweden （Reuters Life!）—Many people hate the idea of having to sleep on a plane. But Swedish entrepreneur Oscar Dios thinks they can be persuaded otherwise and he has created a new kind of hostel to prove it.

    Dios says it is the world’s first jumbo （unusually large） jet hostel, an actual jet-plane at Sweden’s main airport outside Stockholm which has been changed into a 25- room guesthouse that sleeps as many as 72 people.

    “I learned about this plane that was standing deserted at Arlanda airport and I’ve been trying the concept of hostels in many different houses and buildings,” he told Reuters. “I thought, ‘Why not a plane?’”

    Jumbo Hostels opened for business on Thursday, giving customers the chance to check in and sleep in a room that can best be described as comfortable.”

    “The most challenging part with this project is trying to build something inside a metal hull（壳） – it’s just really, really tight.”

    The jet, which was originally produced for Singapore Airlines, was taken out of service in 2002. It is held on a concrete foundation with the landing gear secured in steel cradles.

    One feature of the hostel is its price – a room starts at 350 Swedish crowns （about $ 41）, which is a lot less than hotel rooms outside of major airports.

    Another feature is that customers can get married on the wing of the plane and stay in the plane’s more luxurious honeymoon suite （套房）.

    Instead of walking down the aisle in the church, lovebirds can take what Jumbo Hostels calls the “wing walk,” where they can be joined in great happiness at the wing tip. The hostel has someone ready to perform the ceremony.

    But in some respects this hostel remains a plane – most customers have to share the jet’s nine bathrooms and the staff only wear air host and hostess outfits. The only room that has its own bathroom is the honeymoon suite.

    Which of the following is not true?

    A. The jet plane was out of use for over eight years

    B. The hostel provides ten bathrooms for customers

    C. The rooms in the hotel are comfortable

    D. The hostel lies at Arlanda airport in Stockholm

    One of the features of the plane hostel is that         .

    A. air hostesses can offer good service

    B. a wedding ceremony can be held on the wing    

    C. customers can sleep in comfortable rooms      

    D. the staff can have a “wing walk”

    Why does Oscar Dios make jet plane hotel?

    A. Because he is fond of plane very much.

    B. Because he is very curious

    C. Because he wants to earn more money.

    D. Because he likes trying the concept of hotel in many different things.

    The writer mainly wants to          .

    A. call on people to make use of the deserted things

    B. describe a wonderful place for weddings

    C. introduce a new kind of hostel    

    D. prove people can sleep on a plane

    The purpose of keeping fit is to avoid illness, resist the mental and physical fatigue（疲劳）that make us more likely to contract infections (传染病), and above all to feel more pleasure in being alive.

    B. Because they want to add mental and physical fatigue.?

    C. He will do less work.?

    Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behaviour，but when you're asleep，your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.

    If you go to sleep on your back，you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.

    If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You're very stubborn，but you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.

    If you sleep curled up(卷曲), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt. 

    If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well－balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious，but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.

    1. According to the writer，you naturally show your secret and real personality ________.

    A. only in a normal night

    B. only when you go to sleep

    D. He or she tends to believe in others.

    C. He or she prefers staying at home to going out.

    More than half of Americans do not take all their vacation days，even though they think they need one more holiday.And nearly a third of workers who take a break check their e-mails from the boss every other day and some even keep in touch hourly.

    “We’re workaholics(工作狂)’，”said Samuel Nahmias.“From a general perspective，this has a lot to do with the economic situation in the US.More and more people are unemployed.”

    With jobless numbers reaching 9.6 percent，people who have jobs seem to be unwilling to take time off.“It_is_not_a_great_picture and that affects vacations.People are not going on vacation as much and those who are going on vacation are being more selective about where they are going.”Nahmias explained.

    Unlike European countries where four or more weeks of holiday each year is normal,27 percent of people questioned in the poll said they had 6 to 10 days of annual leave and 20 percent had less than 3 days.With more people on unemployment lists in America，those still with jobs are facing more responsibility at work，which is reflected in their lack of time off.

    The majority of workers who did not take time off mentioned too many responsibilities or stress at work，while some people said they simply did not have time to plan a holiday.“People are more conscious of what they are doing and when they are going on vacation because they don’t want to look bad in this situation，”Nahmias explained.

    Technology is also playing a part with smartphones enabling workers to keep in contact in ways that were not possible before.It has to do with technology and the level of concern about what is going on in the office.

    1．Americans don’t take all their vacation days because ________.

    A．they devote themselves to the whole work

    B．they are afraid that they may lose their jobs

    C．they are asked to keep in touch with their bosses

    D．they aren’t in need of holidays at all

    2．What does Nahmias mean by saying the underlined words in Paragraph 3?

    A．Travelling makes people unwelcome.

    B．People are unwilling to go on short vacations.

    C．The economic situation remains at a low point.

    D．People are more selective about places of interest.

    3.We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ________.

    A．Unemployment rate is higer in America than that in Europe

    B．European economic situation is better than that in America

    C．Americans are more hard-working than Europeans

    D．More people are losing their jobs in Europe

    4．What’s the main idea of the text?

    A．Americans are all workaholic.

    B．Many Americans don’t choose to take vacations.

    C．Unemployment is going from bad to worse.

    D．US economic situation becomes worse and worse.
