8.The hotel habits of business travelers have been studied for the third year by the worldwide hotel chain Novotel,which has several hotels in China.
The survey of Novotel hotels throws up some interesting facts about behavior of businessmen and businesswomen when they are away from home.Women pilfer souvenirs from their hotel rooms as men raid the bars in the refrigerators in their rooms,the hotel study found.It discovered that women are more likely to take a souvenir from their hotel room than men,and a man,more often than a woman,will have the biggest mini-bar bill for drinks used in their rooms.
Men leave cleaner hotel rooms-men were voted tidied travelers than women by staff and management at the international chain of hotels-but they make noisier guests,usually caused by watching the televisions with the sound turned up loudly.
It's almost always the male guest who is caught naked outside his room,often through mistaking the door to the corridor for the one to the bathroom.
Continuing the light-fingered trend,women are likely to get more out of control at weddings and take home the floral centerpieces from table decorations as souvenirs for their own homes.
It found the most popular time for dinner was 7p.m-7:30p.m.,although men were likely to dine in the restaurant while women preferred room service.A Caesar salad was the most popular choice of all women diners surveyed,while men preferred to choose a steak if eating in their room.
But in two matters,both sexes were on an equal footing:men and women were equally forthright when it came to asking for an upgrade to a better room,and it is almost standard business practice these days for both men and women on business trips to be carrying a laptop computer with them.

A.spend more on drink consumption in hotel rooms
B.make hotel rooms dirty
C.require a move to a better room
D.dine in hotel rooms

B.keep hotel rooms tidy
C.take home some decorative things from hotel rooms as souvenirs
D.dine in hotel restaurants
35.Men and women are similar inC.
A.asking for room services
B.dining in the restaurant
C.bringing a laptop computer
D.choosing the food for dinner.

18.In today's consumer world,we've never had so much,yet it seems we've never been so unsatisfied.The cost of housing has been rising for decades,and the cost to the planet has been huge,too.But there is a way to live a simpler,greener,and more affordable life:buy a TinyDwelling home!
TinyDwelling homes are very small,yet comfortable houses at affordable prices.Each TinyDwelling home has a contemporary design and included a living room,kitchen,bathroom,upstairs sleeping area,and convenient storage space.TinyDwelling homes are cheap to run and ecologically-friendly,too.All you need is a small heater to keep your house warm in cold weather,and solar panels (太阳能电池板) in order to provide light and electricity.

12.It is implied in Paragraph 1thatB.
A.rich people are very unsatisfied
B.people are damaging the environment
C.there are more poor people than before

13.What do we know about the small-living movement?D
A.It aimed to handle the economic crisis.
B.It was started by people without houses.
C.It was well received by house designers.
