The very first capsule hotel to be opened in Shanghai has attracted many budget travelers with its prices, even though it is not fully operational yet.
The hotel consists of 68 "capsules", each 1.1-meters high, 1.1-meters wide and 2.2-meters long. The basic rate is 28 Yuan ($4.22) per person, plus an additional 4 Yuan an hour. The hotel also offers a package of 68 Yuan for 10 hours and 88 Yuan for 24 hours.
All of the capsules are imported from Japan where capsule hotels originated，and each is equipped with independent sockets, clocks, lights, TV and wireless Internet service. The hotel also has a public lavatory(洗手间)，shower room, smoking room and shared guest room.
"This is a huge bargain compared with other budget hotels in Shanghai," said Ta Zan, the owner of the hotel. Ta used to stay at capsule hotels in Tokyo during his undergraduate years and worked at a capsule hotel while he was doing his MBA in Japan in 2005, so he knows how they work and how to make guests feel comfortable.
He based the hotel on capsule hotels in Japan but he has made some special changes based on Chinese guests' habits. "In Japan capsule hotels are usually equipped with bathtubs, but in China people are more willing to take a shower, so we have the shower room," he said. He has also separated the capsules into three snoring (打鼾的) zones so that guests who often snore won't disturb others. Like most of capsule hotels in Japan, the one in Shanghai is for men only.
But the idea of staying in such a compact space is not appealing to everyone. "I feel the idea is like putting a person in a coffin (棺材), and the price is also not that appealing. A bed at a youth hostel in Shanghai costs about 60 Yuan per night," said Wang Lei, a student from Beijing.
1.The first capsule hotels in the world appeared in ________.
A. Shanghai B. Japan C. Beijing D. America
2.If you stay in the capsule hotel in Shanghai for 8 hours， you will have to pay________yuan.
A. 28 B. 60 C.68 D.88
3.What does the underlined word "compact" mean?
A. Dear B. Cheap. C. Close. D. Clean.
4.The capsule hotel in Shanghai differs from those in Japan in that________.
A. it serves men as well as women
B. its capsule is much larger
C. it has a shower room
D. it has no snoring zones
5.We can know from the passage that________ .
A. everybody considers the capsule hotel a nice place to stay
B. all the capsules of the hotel were made in China
C. each capsule of the hotel has a private lavatory
D. no guest has ever stayed in the capsule hotel in Shanghai

From my hotel room window, I see an oversized billboard with his face on it: Jason, the Great Magician.
I absent-mindedly turn the pages of the phone book and come across a city map. Sipping my iced latté, I run my fingers along the streets from the hotel to the opera hall. Not more than a half-hour walk.
I glance at the clock. The show starts in one hour. Plenty of time! I gulp the last three sips of my latté and hop in the shower. Soon I’m on my way to the show, carrying a fancy black handbag and a genuine smile.
The billboard looks even more impressive from outside. The Great Jason's eyes seem to be glancing through me. I shiver and walk faster. I feel like a child about to open her birthday presents.
The hall is dark when I come in; the show is about to begin. I make my way backstage just as the great magician puts on his top hat.
''Daddy, I'm so glad to see you, '' I say in a half-whisper. ''I'm in town for the writer’s workshop, but I just couldn't miss your show. '' I give him a quick hug and go back into the seating area, leaving him with a startled smile. I settle down in the darkness, and the curtains open.
Magically, that show remains the Great Jason's best performance to this day.
1.The underlined sentence indicates the writer is .
A.embarrassed and hesitant B.brave and determined
C.nervous and excited D.surprised and frightened
2.Why was the writer in town?
A.To go to the workshop. B.To visit the magician.
C.To enjoy the performance. D.To help people in need.
3.Who is Jason?
A.The person the writer will work with. B.The father of the writer.
C.The greatest performer ever. D.The unknown magician.

Dubai(迪拜)is one of the economically richest places in the world. With its numerous malls, hotels, and beautiful beaches, Dubai has always been a popular holiday destination. This city was visited by around 5 million tourists each year. The government wanted to increase this number to 15 million. However, Dubai has only 45 miles of coastline, which is nowhere enough for so many people. To solve this problem, an island that looked like a palm tree was built in 2006, and named the Palm Jumeirah.
The plan for the island was extraordinary. It was to host several hotels, shopping malls, restaurants, and homes. Although the initial plan was to build the island from concrete(水泥), a decision was taken to create it from sand and gravel(砾石), so as to give it a natural look.
To make sure that this project was a success, the best engineers from across the world were employed. Engineers from Holland formed the majority in this group. To begin with, the engineers calculated the strength of storms at sea, and also the expected amount of rise in water levels due to global warming. And then they found that, the proposed location for the island was neither very wide nor deep.
One of the difficulties the engineers came across was to put sand on the sea bed to create the breakwater(防浪堤).Finding the right sand for the project was also a daunting task, as the sand from Dubai’s deserts was too fine. Instead, sand from the sea was used, as it was coarser(粗糙). Once the breakwater was built, construction of the island began.
The Palm Island are really impressive in terms of engineering. However, these projects are so large that they may have changed the ecology of the region. Also, an immense amount of money and resources go into maintaining the islands, which is a major concern at the moment. Only time will tell if building the Palm Islands was actually a good decision.
1.What does Paragraph 1 mainly show us?
A. Beautiful attractions of Dubai.
B. The geographical features of Dubai.
C. The purposes of building the Palm Jumeirah,
D. The difficulty in developing the tourism industry.
2.Why were some changes made to the initial plan for the project?
A. To reduce the building cost. B. To get the islands completed sooner.
C. To get the building materials more easily. D. To make the island look more natural,
3.What does the underlined word"daunting" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. meaningless B. difficult C. Impossible D. necessary
4.According to the last paragraph, how is the construction of the Palm Islands?
A. Profitable. B. Surprising. C. Worrying. D. Unbelievable.
