A new hotel is set to open in a faraway village in northern Sweden,which intends to change the simple treehouse into a world—class hotel for travelers who enjoy special designs.
Treehotel,which lies in Harads about 60 km south of the Arctic Circle,will be made up of four rooms when it opens on July 17th:the Cabin,the Blue Cone,the Nest and the Mirrorcube.
Two more are due to open in O
ctober—the UFO and A Room With a View.
“Our goal in five years is to have 24 rooms from 24 different architects(建筑师),”says Treehotel co-founder Kent Lindvall,who came up with the idea along with his wife Bfitta.
The first six rooms were designed by five different architects. The Mirrorcube which
stands four meters high and four meters wide has drawn widespread attention as it will be connected to a singletree.
‘‘It’s an interesting building.You cannot find anything like this in the world today.It’s really special,”says Lindvall,as he stands next to the room’s mirrored outer wall.
‘‘Everything will reflect(映照)in this—the trees,the birds,the clouds,the sun,everything.So it should be invisible nearly in the forest.’’
Lindvall says a special film w
ill be put onto the glass which will be seen by birds。
‘‘This is untouched forest and—we want to leave it as it is."says Selberg,another co-founder.
She adds.’’If we’re lucky we might see a bear.I think what’s exciting here is that we’re just 60 km below the Arctic Circle which means there’s a good possibility to have the northern lights in the winter and during the during the summer of course you have the midnight sun.”
The aim of Treehotel i
s “feel free in a tree” and the experience will cost up to 4,200 Swedish crowns ($555,50)for two guests in the Mirrorcube, which is designed to hold up to four guests.

When the musical sound rings you, you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chat.But although you probably use it all the time, have you ever stopped to think about the manners related to talking on the phone? If you haven’t, here are some tips to guide you.
●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up.If the person who answers is not the
one you want,give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want.
●Think about the time you call people.Try not to call too early in the morning(before about 9:00)or too late at night(after about 9:30).Also try not to call at mealtimes.
●If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions.Cell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival.
●When face to face with someone, do not talk on the phone.It is rude to be on the phone when a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant, or when you are returning the shoes you have just been trying on in a shop.Finish any face-to-face business before taking a call.Continuing to use the phone while nodding to the person in front of you is quite impolite
.
●When in a restaurant with your friends,ke
ep phone conversations short.Make a call only if it is important.Practise speaking in a low voice.If no one looks your way, you’ve got it.
●If you go to a theatre, a concert or a cinema, consider the other p
eople around you.Check that your phone is “off” before you enter.If you are expecting a very important call, put your phone on “vibrate”(振动)and run for the exit as soon as you feel it.If you forget both “off” and “vibrate” and your phone rings, don’t answer it, turn it off straight away.
【小题1】Which is true according to the passage above?
| A.You may call people anytime as you like. |
| B.You may talk loudly on the phone at dinner in the restaurant. |
| C.You may keep on talking on the phone while greeting somebody. |
| D.You may call people as soon as you get on the plane,but not after the doors are closed. |
| A.some people don’t pay much attention to manners while making cell phone calls |
| B.you may ask to leave a message unless the person you are calling is in |
| C.calling people too early or too late in the morning is not polite |
| D.almost everyone has got a cell phone |
| A.You have succeeded in making a call without disturbing others. |
| B.You have made the phone call brief and interesting. |
| C.You |
| D.You have made a phone call secretly. |
