ARLANDA, Sweden (Reuters Life!) --Many people hate the idea of having to sleep on a plane. But Swedish entrepreneur（企業(yè)家）Oscar Dios thinks they can be persuaded otherwise and he has created a new kind of hostel（旅社）to prove it.

    Dios says it is the world’s first Jumbo 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(外殼)--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（混凝土）foundation with the landing gear（著陸裝置）secured in steel cradles.

    One feature of the hostel is its price--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 (套房).

    Instead of walking down the aisle（過道）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--most customers have to share the jet’s nine bathrooms and the staff only wear air host and hostess clothes. The only room that has its own bath-room is the honeymoon suite.

1. One of the features of the plane hostel is that _______.

    A. customers can sleep in comfortable rooms B. air hostesses can offer good service

    C. the staff can have a “wing walk”       D. a wedding ceremony can be held on the wing

2. We can learn from the text that _______.

    A. the hostel lies at Arlanda airport in Stockholm

    B. the jet plane was out of use for over six years

    C. every hostel room is $ 41 per night

    D. the hostel provides nine bathrooms for customers

3. The underlined word "tight" means _______.

    A. crowded          B. tense               C. small           D. full

4.The purpose of the passage is to _______.

    A. introduce a new kind of hostel           B. prove people can sleep on a plane

    C. describe a wonderful place for weddings
