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(殼) – 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.
1. 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.
2. 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”
3. 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.
4. 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

阿蘭達(dá),瑞典(路透社生活!許多人討厭在飛機(jī)上睡覺。但瑞典企業(yè)家Oscar Dios認(rèn)為他們會被說服,否則,他創(chuàng)造了一種新的宿舍去證明它。
Dios說,這是世界上第一個大型(特大)飛機(jī)旅館,在瑞典斯德哥爾摩的主要機(jī)場外面已經(jīng)變成了一個25間賓館睡多達(dá)72人實(shí)際的噴氣式飛機(jī)。
“我知道這架飛機(jī)被閑置在阿蘭達(dá)機(jī)場,我已經(jīng)在很多不同的房屋和建筑在旅館的概念,”他告訴路透社。“我想,‘為什么不坐飛機(jī)呢?'”
星期四,“大旅館”開張營業(yè),給顧客一個入住的機(jī)會,并在一個舒適舒適的房間里睡覺。
“最具挑戰(zhàn)的部分是在一個金屬殼內(nèi)建立的東西(殼)–這是真的,真的很緊張!
這架噴氣式飛機(jī)最初是為新加坡航空公司生產(chǎn)的,于2002被取消服務(wù)。它是在混凝土基礎(chǔ)上舉行的,起落架固定在鋼架上。
旅舍的一個特點(diǎn)是它的價格——一個房間起價350瑞典克朗(約合41美元),比主要機(jī)場外的酒店房間少得多。
另一個特點(diǎn)是,客戶可以在機(jī)翼上結(jié)了婚,留在飛機(jī)上更豪華的蜜月套房(套房)。
而不是走過教堂的過道,兩人可以采取Jumbo Hostels所謂的“機(jī)翼行走”,在那里他們可以加入巨大的幸福在翼尖。宿舍有人準(zhǔn)備表演儀式。
但在某些方面,這家旅館仍然是一架飛機(jī)——大多數(shù)顧客必須共用噴氣式飛機(jī)的九個衛(wèi)生間,而員工只穿著空中主機(jī)和女主人的服裝。唯一有浴室的房間是蜜月套房。
