A
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(洗手間),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.a(chǎn)ll 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
