The actual work of cleaning and caring for the guest room is performed by the room attendants.Their duties include recognizing the guests,introducing room facilities and service,making or changing beds,dusting furniture,sweeping or cleaning floors and carpets,washing bathrooms,replacing towels and washing clothes,making up room and doing turn-down service.They should also supply any personal service to satisfy the guests’ reasonable demands,such as wake-up service,room service,laundry service,shoeshine service and baby-?
sitting service.Whenever and wherever possible,the staff should offer to do extra things for the guests.In addition,they are expected to check up rooms and report any signs of damage or wear and tear that may make repairs and maintenance necessary.Finally,to be competent hotel staffs,they should be capable of handling with unexpected emergency and try to minimize the damage or negative influence.
Room attendants have an intimate contact with the guests.A guest may ask the attendants to make up his room at a certain time,or he may indicate he does not want to be disturbed at all,or he would like to have meals in his room.Almost all hotels provide signs that the guest can hang on the doorknob in either of these cases.In addition,guests frequently ask room attendants for items that are supplied by the housekeeping department,such as irons,transformers,special pillows,extra hangers,cribs for infants and hair dryers.In some hotels,the room attendants pick up and deliver clothing for the laundry and valet service.
Heavier chores are performed by men who are usually called housemen.Their work involves window-washing,shampooing carpets,polishing metals,removing and cleaning draperies,cleaning the public areas of the hotels,and many other tasks that might be beyond the physical capacities of women.The housemen also run errands for the housekeeping department,such as providing guests with extra things on request.第1题Heavy chores are performed by.

The Concorde，plane of the rich and famous，is also probably the world’s safest.The fireball outside Paris Tuesday was the supersonic jet’s first fatal accident ever in 24 years of regular operation.And Air France officials said their current fleet was fit to fly safely until 2007.
Yet the plane had been having mishaps—little things.In October a piece of tail fell off in mid?
flight.Last January,within a span of 24 hours，two British Airways Concordes had to make emergency landings for technical reasons—one engine failure，one mysterious false alarm.A few months ago，small cracks，said to be “microscopic” in size，were detected in all seven British Concordes，a British Airways spokeswoman said Monday；one of them was grounded because the cracks had gotten wider.
Has the Concorde hit old age ahead of schedule?
Only 20 of the supersonic passenger jets were ever built，of which 13 are still in service，operated by British Airways and Air France.They were all built between 1975 and 1980.Both companies hope to keep the planes flying for another 14 or 15 years，and in fact both have recently upped their estimate of the number of “cycles”—roughly one transatlantic flight—the plane could stand，to 8,500.By this calculation，the planes are cleared for takeoff until 2006 at least.This view is supported by the fact that although its flights are high?
stress and its takeoff and landing more labored than other planes，the Concorde makes only about a fifth of the trips more popular.
After the crash，Air France asserted，perhaps prematurely,that the crash was due not to any wing problem，like sneaking cracks，but to an exploding engine.That makes it the fastest investigation on record.They have not grounded the fleet beyond a thorough maintenance check，which on these delicate birds，with their 30?
year?
old technology,will be expensive.
British Airways says its Concordes gave the company prestige，shuttling the swells on their surprisingly cramped，1,336?
mph passage at ＄10,000 a head.Take a trip aboard and one must have been like joining an exclusive but rather cramped and uncomfortable club.But part of its charm—to the small number of people who flew it—was that it was superior to the other planes,safer.For the price of a ticket，you were buying a guarantee.
If British and French industry officials，who built the Concorde together in the 60s as a kind of supersonic dove，decide that feeling is gone forever with Tuesday’s catastrophe，then it’s not hard to imagine that they will seriously consider retiring this distinctive，one?
of?
a?
kind aircraft.第1题The reason why the Concorde crashed is that.
A.one engine failed
B.its engine exploded
C.a piece of tail fell off
D.the cracks had gotten wider
