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，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 wont 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 hotel in Shanghai costs about 60 Yuan per night,” said Wang Lei, a student from Beijing.36. The first capsule hotels in the world appeared in _.A. Japan B. Shanghai C. Beijing D. America37. 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. 8838. 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 largerC. it has a shower room D. it has no snoring zones39. What does the underlined word compact mean?A. Dear B. Cheap. C. Clean. D. Close.40. We can know from the passage that _.A. each capsule of the hotel has a private lavatory B. all the capsules of the hotel were made in ChinaC. no guest has ever stayed in the capsule hotel in Shanghai D. everybody considers the capsule hotel a nice place to stayBAs any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more. Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping(录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the childrens IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.” The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are its the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”41. The writers purpose in writing the text is to _. A. show the relationship between parents and children B. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table C. report on the findings of a study D. give information about family problems42. Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because _. A. they are busy serving food to their children B. they are busy keeping order at the dinner table C. they have to pay more attention to younger children D. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family43. By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children _. A. have to help their parents to serve dinner B. get the least attention from the family C. are often kept away from the dinner table D. find it hard to keep up with other children44. Lewis research provides an answer to the question _. A. why TV is important in family life B. why parents should keep good order C. why children in small families seem to be quieter D. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life45. Which of the following statements would the writer agree to? A. It is important to have the right food for children. B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner. C. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently. D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinnerC A few months ago as I wandered through my parents house，the same house I grew up in，I had a sudden，scary realizationWhen my parents bought the house，in 1982，they were only two years older than I am nowI tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house Id still be living in almost 30 years laterIt seemed ridiculousOn a practical level，theres no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soonMore importantly，I wouldnt want toIm not sure where Ill be living in two years，or what kind of job Ill haveAnd I dont think Ill be ready to settle down and stay in one place So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parentsWhen our parents were our age，theyd got their education，chosen a career，and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives My friends and I-“Generation Y”-still arent sure what we want to do with our livesWhatever we end up doing，we want to make sure were happy doing itWed rather take risks first，try out different jobs，and move from one city to another until we find our favorite placeWed rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”, “impatient”, and “overprotected”Some of these complaints have a pointAs children, we were encouraged to succeed in school，but also to have funWe grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cell-phones，the Internet，instant messaging，and video games Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)-starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top，on the same track，often for the same companyThat doesnt apply to my generationBecause of that，it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible，stable adulthoodBut thats not necessarily a bad thingIn our desire to find satisfaction，we will work harder，strive for ways to keep life interesting，and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents generation did By Ariel Lewiston46.

A comparison between lifestyles generations. C. Criticisms of the young generation. D. The factors that have changed the young generation.DCan you believe your eyes? A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.Martin Doherty，a psychologist at the University of Stifling in Scotland，led the team of scientistsIn this experiment，Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力) of some people，using pictures of some orange circlesThe researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of peopleThe first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10 ，and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white backgroundOne of the circles was larger than the other，and these people were asked to identify the larger oneFour-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the timeAdults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.Next，both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles，again of different sizes，were surrounded by gray circlesHeres where the trick lies inIn some of the pictures，the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles-making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle，which was the real larger oneAnd the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles-so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures，they werent fooledthey were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as beforeOlder children and adults，on the other hand，did not do as wellOlder children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one，and adults got it wrong most of the time.As children get older，Doherty said，their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context(背景)In other words，they will begin to process the whole picture at once：the tricky gray circles，as well as the orange circle in the middleAs a result，theyre more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick51. Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate_.A. childrens and adults brains B. childrens and adults eye-sightC. the influence of peoples age D. peoples ability to see accurate
