问题     Hostel buildings vary from cottage to castle. Most have been adapted to hostel use though some have been specially built for the purpose. As it is impossible to put identical facilities into such a wide range of buildings, hostels have been divided into four grades so that members pay an overnight fee roughly corresponding to the facilities provided. Nevertheless, whatever the architectural differences, all hostels offer accommodation with the following facilities.
    Sleeping In dormitories normally with 2-tier beds. Mattresses, blankets and pillows are provided but you take your own sleeping bag or hire a freshly laundered bag at the hostel.
    Washing Washing facilities are provided, and at hostels where stated there are also baths or showers. You provide your own toilet articles including soap and towel.
    Common Room All hostels have a common room. At some hostels this also serves as a dining-room.
    Meals At most hostels hot meals can be provided by the warden.(The Hostel Details state where this is not the case.)Meals cannot be guaranteed unless paid for in advance. Lunch packets should also be booked in advance whenever possible: it is easier to provide appetising fare when the warden knows beforehand how many lunch packets will be required.(Please note that lunch packets do not include any drinks.)Breakfast is usually cereal or porridge and a cooked dish followed by bread and marmalade and tea. Evening meal is a 3-course meal usually consisting of soup, a meat course, a sweet or pudding and tea. A number of hostels now have a cafeteria service or provide snack meals.
    Members’ Kitchen At all hostels except some temporary hostels there are facilities for members to cook their own meals, including cooking points, pots and pans. There is no charge for the use of these facilities.
    Small Store Where the Hostel Details state that there is a small store it means there are sufficient foodstuffs on sale to enable self-cookers to prepare a meal. The following list of a typical small store gives you a good idea of what you can buy, though every small store may not necessarily offer you these exact items. If ordered in advance: milk, bread, potatoes, margarine. Without ordering in advance: tins of beans and/or spaghetti, soup(for packets), condensed or evaporated milk, meat or meat pudding, fish, vegetables, fruit, steamed puddings. Small jars of jam and marmalade. Small packets of tea, coffee, sugar and cornflakes or other cereal. Matches. Chocolate. Packets of crisp bread or oatcakes and dehydrated potato powder.
    Store Where the Hostel Details state that there is a store with an extensive range of foodstuffs available. It is likely that such stores will have all the goods listed above and also the following: Greater variety of tinned goods. Packets of cheese, oats, biscuits and dates. Meat extract cubes. Milk, bread, potatoes and margarine should be ordered in advance.
    Cutlery and cookery are supplied whether you have meals provided or prepare your own.
    Hostel Telephones Telephones are primarily provided for administrative use and urgent business, not for social purposes. Wardens will pass on urgent messages, but cannot always locate a member to bring him to the telephone. It is helpful if you tell your friends and family " Don’t ring me—I’ll ring you," and then use a public call box. If a warden allows you to use the telephone for an outgoing call, please be brief—there may be a member in difficulty, urgently trying to contact the warden. Bookings can be made by telephone. The telephone may be used for enquiries.
Question 56 to 60
Mark each statement as either true(T)or false(F)according the passage.
Later payment is required if you want to have breakfast at hostels.
选项 A、TRUE
B、FALSE
答案B
解析 (文中提到Meals cannot be guaranteed unless paid for in advance．“想在旅店就餐，必须提前预定。”因此应该是advance payment。)
