ARLANDA, Sweden £¨Reuters Life!£©¡ªMany 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£¨¿Ç£© ¨C 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 ¨C 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 £¨Ì×·¿£©.

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 ¨C 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

From self-driving cars to deep sea explorers, more and more of humans¡¯ tasks are being taken over by robots. But technology doesn¡¯t stop there. In mid-August, reported the BBC, scientists from Cambridge University developed a robotic system that meant a robot could ¡°build other robots, each one better than the previous(ÒÔÇ°µÄ) generation¡±.

The BBC noted that ¡°those concerned about machines taking over the world shouldn¡¯t worry¡±.

However, over 1,000 scientists and numerous artificial intelligence (AI, È˹¤ÖÇÄÜ) researchers£­including UK astrophysicist Stephen Hawking and Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak of the US-brought the danger of fully autonomous weapons(×ÔÖ÷ÎäÆ÷), known as ¡°killer robots¡±, to our attention earlier this summer.

¡°If any major military(¾üʵÄ) power pushes ahead with AI weapon development, a global arms race is inevitable(²»¿É±ÜÃâµÄ),¡± warned an open letter released at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence held in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Unlike drones(ÎÞÈË»ú), which need a human hand, this kind of robot would have some decision-making abilities and the ability to act by itself. While what the BBC called these ¡°solders that never sleep¡± could help reduce battlefield deaths, they might also make countries more likely to go into battle, which would lead to more deaths overall, noted the scientists. The risks, they said, could be far greater than those posed by nuclear weapons.

Scientists called for a ¡°ban on offensive(¹¥»÷ÐÔµÄ) autonomous weapons beyond meaningful human control¡±, reported The Huffington Post.

In fact, in an interview with the BBC in 2014, Hawking warned that the ¡°development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race¡±.

And according to the BBC, many leading thinkers have been thinking about the AI-powered killing machine of the not-too-distant future. ¡°Killer robots could be here within years, not decades,¡± as Stuart Russell, professor of computer science at UC Berkeley, US, put it.

Authorities are gradually waking up to the risk of robot wars. Last May, for the first time, the United Nations brought governments together to begin talks on so-called killer robots in a hope of stopping such weapons while there is still time.

Meanwhile, there are scientists who are less worried. They believe all technologies have potential(DZÁ¦) for being used for good and evil ends, and argue that the ban called for by the open letter could close the door to developing AI technology that could save lives. ¡°Technology can clearly do better than human beings in many cases,¡± Ronald Arkin, dean at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, US, told The Christian Science Monitor. ¡°If we are willing to turn over some of our decision making to these machines, we may actually get better outcomes.¡±

1.What does Steve Wozniak think the future robot technology might produce?

A. Artificial Intelligence. B. Autonomous weapons.

C. Soldiers that never sleep. D. Killing machines.

2.The underlined word ¡°spell¡± in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ¡°______¡±.

A. cause B. prevent

C. reach D. change

3.What does Stuart Russell mean by saying ¡°killer robots could be here within years, not decades.¡±?

A. Killer robots will visit UC Berkeley, US sooner than expected.

B. Killer robots will be produced and used sooner than expected.

C. Killer robots will speed up the development of AI in the near future.

D. Killer robots will kill these scientists in the near future.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A. More and more of humans¡¯ tasks are being taken over by robots.

B. Robots have decision-making abilities and the ability to act by itself.

C. Scientists called for a ban on the development of robot technology.

D. All technologies have potential for being used for good and evil ends.
