Below is a selection about interesting hotels.
Tayka Hotel de Sal
Where: Tahua, Bolivia
How much: About $95 a night
Why it’s cool: You’ve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? That’s something few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of salt – including the beds (though you’ll sleep on regular mattresses（床垫）and blankets). The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehistoric dried-up lake, which is the world’s biggest salt flat. Builders use the salt from the 4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a paste（糊）of wet salt that hardens when it dries. When there is big rain, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.
Green Magic Nature Resort
Where: Vythiri, India
How much: About $240 a night
Why it’s cool: Taking a pulley（滑轮）-operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of your adventure. As you look out of your open window – there is no glass! – you watch monkey and birds in the rain forest canopy（罩棚）. Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel, or just sit on your bamboo bed and read. You don’t even have to come down for breakfast – the hotel will send it up on the pulley-drawn “elevator”.
Dog Bark Park Inn B&B
Where: Cottonwood, Idaho
How much: $92 a night
Why it’s cool: This doghouse isn’t just for the family pet. Sweet Willy is a 30-foot-tall dog with guest rooms in his belly. Climb the wooden stairs beside his hind leg to enter the door in his side. You can relax in the main bedroom, go up a few steps of the loft（阁楼）in Willy’s head, or hang out inside his nose. Although you have a full private bathroom in your quarters, there is also a toilet in the 12-foot-tall fire hydrant（消防栓）outside.
Gamirasu Cave Hotel
Where: Ayvali, Turkey
How much: Between $130 and $475 a night
Why it’s cool: This is caveman cool! Experience what it was like 5,000 years ago, when people lived in these mountain caves formed by volcanic ash. But your stay will be much more modern. Bathrooms and electricity provide what you expect from a modern hotel, and the white volcanic ash, called tufa, keeps the rooms cool, about 65·F in summer. (Don’t worry – there is heat in winter.)
小题1:What is the similarity of the four hotels?
A．Being expensive.B．Being comfortable.
C．Being natural.D．Being unique.
小题2:What does the underlined words “Sweet Willy” refer to?
A．The name of a doghouse.
B．The name of the hotel owner.
C．The building of Dog Bark Park Inn B&B
D．The name of the hotel owner’s pet dog.
小题3:Which of the hotels gives you a feeling of living in the far past?
A. Tayka Hotel de Sal.                  B. Green Magic Nature Resort.
C. Dog Bark Park Inn B&B.               D. Gamirasu Cave Hotel.
Bamboo flooring（竹地板）is a growing trend in home flooring and is also a great improvement to traditional hardwood floors．It is the most environmentally friendly kind of natural flooring that you can select for your home．It is also a renewable（可再生的）resource,is stronger than steel,and does not suffer from problems as a result of temperature changes．
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth,and only takes five years to grow to adult form．Bamboo is harvested every five years,and starts to re-grow immediately after being harvested．For this reason,bamboo is a kind of grass,not a tree．Bamboo is hollow（空心的）but very hard and can stand up to 50,000 pounds of pressure per square inch．
Bamboo flooring has become very popular with its rich and beautiful golden earth colors．But it is important to shop around for a good-quality bamboo flooring product that contains no formaldehydes（甲醛）,which is said to be the best kind of bamboo flooring．Many brands use cheaper bamboo that may contain formaldehydes,and this can cause indoor air pollution problems as certain chemical materials in the bamboo slowly release their pollutants into the air．
So,why should we turn to bamboo to save the enviroment?In fact,bamboo cannot save the environment directly,but it is an excellent replacement product for much of the hardwood species of trees that are being harvested in rainforests．Once harvested,if these hardwood trees do grow back,it can take up to 200 years!Rainforests are the lungs of our planet and they make a significant contribution to global oxygen production．
By selecting bamoo flooring,you can reduce the demand for hardwood materials and help save the environment for future generations．Of course,everyone wants to buy good-quality bamboo flooring．The brands（品牌）from our shop are very high in quality and have received a lot of public praise．
小题1:Bamboo is a kind of grass because _______．
A．it grows quickly
B．it isn’t as high as a tree
C．it doesn’t grow in forests
D．it is hollow
小题2:What kind of bamboo flooring is best?
A．The strongest kind．
B．The most expensive kind．
C．The kind that has a beautiful color．

A．It can directly improve the environment．
B．It does not release formalddehydes at all．
C．It can replace hardwood tree products．
D．It can produce a lot of oxygen．
小题4:The author wrote this passage in order to _______．
A．explain the importance of bamboo flooring
