People feel relaxed after a holiday; but for us, it's just the opposite. The place was certainly pleasant; you know - the
beach was wonderful and there was constant sunshine. However, you can not really enjoy a holiday if the hotel is awful.
Let me tell you my experience. Our hotel there was so new that part of it was still being built and the builders were making
a noise almost every night. It was certainly impossible to sleep in that hotel. During most of the two weeks we were there,
there was no hot water. Usually that was not a serious problem because the weather was so hot that it was nice to have a
cold shower. But there were times when the water was off completely.
Still, I must say that the food at the hotel was first-class, particularly the seafood. There was plenty to eat and the
service was quick and the waiters were friendly. That was surprising because it was a huge hotel and there were hundreds
of guests. But I am afraid that, although they ate well, they really needed another holiday when they got home. To tell you
frankly, I do need one.
36. The passage is probably taken from _________.
A. a novel B. a letter C. a guide book D. a newspaper
37. The writer spent his holiday in this place for _______.
A. 14 days B. nearly 15 days C. more than 14 days D. nearly 14 days
38. What the writer liked most was the _________.
A. food B. cold shower C. constant sunshine D. huge hotel
39. The hotel in which the writer stayed ________.
A. ranks first B. ranks second C. is famous D. is close to the sea
40. Why was the writer surprised?
A. The service was good in spite of large numbers of customers.
B. The writer would need another holiday.
C. The noise made by the builders was avoided.
