Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is deligted with his new hotel, the worlds first igloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over. In two weeks time Bergqvists ice creation will be nothing more than a pool of water.We dont see it as a big problem, he says. We just look forward to replacing it.Bergqvist built his first igloo for an art exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. The only wooden thing .we have left in the igloo is the front door, he says.After their stay, all visitors receive a survival(生存) certificate recording their success.

Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they dont have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources (资源) and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen(食堂), use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.（1）Why do many hotels provide guests with some disposable things? A . Let their guests be convenient during their travelling.B . Hope their guests use less disposable things.C . Wish their guests to save money.D . Want their guests to use more disposable things.（2）Some Beijing hotels will no longer provide guests with _.

Use disposable plates, bowls and chopsticks.D . Do not forget to reuse daily necessities(日用品).（5）We can tell from the story that _.
