If you’re tired of the Mediterranean and don’t want to head to Disney again, perhaps it’s time for a summer holiday in space. Russia has declared plans for its first floating hotel, 217 miles above earth, and it is something of an offering with good service.

Hosting just seven guests in a four cabins, the accommodation will boast huge windows with views back to earth and tasty microwave meals will be served instead of the ones often used by astronauts.

Just getting there will be an adventure in itself—it will take two days aboard a Soyuz rocket—and it won’t exactly be a budget holiday: A five-day stay will cost you£100, 000 to£500, 000 for your journey. The hotel is due to open by 2016 and, according to those behind it, will be far more comfortable than the International Space Station (ISS) used by astronauts and cosmonauts.

In the weightlessness of space, visitors can choose to have beds that are either vertical or horizontal. Tourists, who will be accompanied by experienced crew, will dine on food prepared on Earth and sent up on the rocket, to be reheated in microwave ovens. Many kinds of delicacies will be available.

Iced tea, mineral water and fruit juices will be available, but alcohol will be strictly prohibited. Toilets will use flowing air instead of water to move waste through the system. Waste water will be recycled.

Sergei Kostenko, chief executive of Orbital Technologies which will construct the hotel, said: “Our planned module inside will not remind you of the International Space Station. A hotel should be comfortable inside, and it will be possible to look at the Earth. The hotel will be aimed at wealthy individuals and people working for private companies who want to do research in space.” The hotel can also be used as an emergency bolthole (避難處) for astronauts aboard the International Space Station if there is a crisis.

1.Which can be the best title of the passage?

A. Russia declares the design for its first space hotel

B. The first space hotel is under construction now

C. The astronauts will have a second home in space

D. Russia has the advanced technology in exploring space

2.What does the underlined word “budget” in the 3rd paragraph mean?

A. expensive B. worthwhile

C. economic D. uncomfortable

3.What kind of accommodation will the guests have in the space hotel?

A. They will have the same food as the astronauts have.

B. Many kinds of drinks are available including alcohol.

C. Guests can have beds that are either vertical or horizontal.

D. Tourists are accompanied by the astronauts from the ISS.

4.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The space hotel is built to remind you of the International Space Station.

B. The hotel is constructed with big windows so that tourists can see the earth.

C. The company, Orbital Technologies, has already begun to build the space hotel.

Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money.

This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in all unexpected form.

One Sunday morning, the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard(無意中聽到)our conversation. "Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?" I said yes. "Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints."

1.From the passage, we understand that _____.

A. the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late thirties

B. the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather than givers

C. the author received the same education as most people during his childhood

D. the author liked most people as they looked upon life as a process of getting

2.According to the author, _____.

A. giving means you will lack money

B. the excitement of giving can bring you money

C. you don’t have to be rich in order to give

D. when you give away money, you will be rich

3.The author would make the suggestion to the storekeeper _____.

A. in writing B. in person

C. in the window display D. about the neighborhood

4.When the author needed a post-office box, _____.

A. he had put his name on a waiting list

B. he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation

C. many people had applied for post-office boxes before him

D. he asked the postmaster to make one for him
