When you walk into a room on the 17th floor of Copenhagen’s Bella Sky Hotel, you’ll be greeted by soft roses and other fresh flowers, fruits, fashion magazines, and a bathroom with beauty products. This is Europe’s first hotel floor dedicated（專(zhuān)用的）entirely to women—and according to the hotel’s CEO Arne Bang Mikkelsen, it is designed by women, for women.

“Women’s hotel preferences（偏愛(ài)）are very different from men’s with key priorities（優(yōu)先考慮的事）being to feel safe and comfortable. When men come into a hotel room, the first thing they do is check the view, turn on the TV, plug in their computer, and check out the fridge. Women, on the other hand, go straight to the bathroom. Does it smell nice? Is it clean? Does it have a nice bathtub and shower?”

Unlike other hotels, it seemed like someone actually thought about what women wanted. To get it right, the hotel asked a number of women what they wanted, and added to their list of things like cleanliness, a nice bathroom, high-powered hairdryers, steam irons, cosmetic mirrors, healthy choices on the room service menus, and full-body mirrors.

It seems that they are helped by the boom（繁榮）in female business travelers. Global numbers are hard to get, but a research report shows women account for about half of all business travelers in the US in 2010, up from approximately 25% in 1991.

Places like the Naumi Hotel in Singapore, the Premier Hotel in New York, the London Dukes Hotel and the Georgian Court Hotel in Vancouver seem to be realizing the possibility in catering（迎合）for women.

At the London Dukes Hotel, the manager says bookings（預(yù)訂）for their “Duchess Rooms”，which are standard rooms with fresh flowers, fruit, and styling things, have increased 25% over the past year.

1.We can learn from the text that Bella Sky Hotel _______.

A. is the first hotel designed for women

B. offers special service to women guests

C. has a big garden with all kinds of flowers

D. can arrange rooms according to guests’ wishes

57. Paragraph 2 mainly wants to tell us _______.

A. men are wiser in choosing hotels

B. guests usually care about fort most

C. women differ from men in judging a hotel

D. hotels have difficulty satisfying each guest

2.What can we learn from the text?

A. Men guests usually don’t care about hotels’ cleanliness.

B. Living in a hotel, women guests may consider their safety.

C. Women business travelers spend more than men in hotels.

D. In the US the number of women travelers is higher than men.

3.The example of the London Dukes Hotel is used to show ________.

A. London is known for hotel management

B. guests like to experience different hotels

C. the new hotel service is very popular

D. hotel industry is developing rapidly

4.What is the text mainly about?

A. How to run hotels.

B. A new practice in hotel service.

C. Different hotels’ service in the world.

D. Differences between men and women hotel guests.

Our risk of cancer rises rapidly as we age．So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened(拍片檢查) for new tumors (腫瘤) or doesn’t it?

While such tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly．With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it s important to weigh the health benefits of screening against the risks and costs of routine testing．

In many cases, screening can lead to additional examinations and operations to remove cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow growing and may not cause serious health problems in patients’ remaining years．But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained (根深蒂固的) that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a noisy reaction among doctors, patients and social groups．

It’s hard to uproot deeply held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data．Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment．And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history or previous personal experience with the disease, should continue to get screened regularly．But for the rest, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like remaining life expectancy．

A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more objective decisions about who will truly benefit from screening—especially considering the explosion of the elderly．

It’s not an easy calculation to make, but one that makes sense for patients．Dr．Otis Brawley said, “Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to cover themselves from medical disputes（爭(zhēng)端）．We need to think about the wise use of health care, which means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients, and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better．”

1.Routine cancer screening for the elderly people makes sense because ______．

A．it is believed to contribute to a long life

B．it is part of their health care package

C．they are more sensitive about the health

D．they are in greater danger of tumor growth

2.How do some researchers now look at routine cancer screening for the elderly?

A．It adds too much to their medical bills．

B．They are doubtful about its necessity．

C．It helps increase their life expectancy．

D．They think it does more harm than good．

3.What is the traditional view about women screening for breast cancer?

A．It is a must for adult women．

B．It applies to women over 50．

C．It is intended for young women．

D．It doesn’t apply to women over 74．

4.What does the writer say is the general view about health care?

A．Better care, longer life．

B．Prevention is better than cure．

C．Better early than late．

D．The more, the better．
