Здравствуйте!
 Надеюсь, что Новый год будет для всех нас счастливым.
Возобновились от вас просьбы давать тексты  для работы.

Сегодня предлагаю текст.
Прочитайте текст и выберите вариант ответа, соответ¬ствующий содержанию прочитанного текста.

I.    In 1989 a young Australian was travelling around Europe and found
himself at his British hotel after closing time — at 10 in the morning.
While most of us might take this as an opportunity to find a cosy bed
and breakfast or at least a dry bench in a railway station, Matt Lassiter
spotted a business opportunity. Knowing that he was not alone and that
thousands of backpacking youngsters were wandering the world with
heavy bags and fat wallets, Lassiter came up with a plan to start his own
hostels that made young visitors feel at home whenever they arrived.
"I realised there was not so much a gap in the backpackers market, but
rather a canyon!"
II.    A couple of years later, Lassiter formed his own company which he
called Roamers. His intention was to focus on creating hostels which
would provide accommodation for the dynamic youth tourism market.
"The average backpacker, around 18—21, is likely to be highly educated,
often taking time off between school and university and usually has quite
a lot of money to spend and these are the people Roamers sets out to
attract," says Lassiter.
III.    Today, Roamers operates in more than 20 countries, has 70 hostels
and provides 1.5 million bed nights each year. Lassiter says that each
hostel is like a kindly aunt or uncle looking after young people.
IV.    Backpackers like that and their parents like it even more, not because
Roamers is a fun environment, but because Roamers offers a safe and
secure form of accommodation.
V.    A typical hostel has showers and toilets on each floor, a "chill out"
room with television, food, bar and drinks facilities, a laundry room and
internet access with free e-mail usage. Lassiter was very aware that his
young, bright customers would all be familiar with the Internet and that it
would play an important part in marketing his company.
VI.    Part of Lassiter's success is knowing that backpackers want to feel
like explorers. "We have to be very careful how we market our products —
it must be their decision and not seen as a package holiday — we make
them think they are independent." The Roamers technique is to offer
pre-booked two or four-day tours, a couple of nights recovering from
jet-lag, a welcome pack, clean sheets — no sleeping bags — and a free call
home. The formula is certainly working, which just goes to show that
Lassiter's instincts are exactly right for this growing holiday market.
1.    How did Matt Lassiter react to the British hotel closing in the
morning?
1) He looked for alternative accommodation.
2) He decided to continue his journey.
3) It gave him an idea for the future.

2.    What did Lassiter think would help young travellers?
1) To be more aware of looking after their money.
2) To accept that accommodation can vary.
3) To find more welcoming accommodation.

3.    Roamers hostels are designed for young people who
1) are studying part-time.
 2) have freedom and leisure.
3) are living on a small budget.

4.    Why are parents in favour of Roamers?
D1) They approve of the entertainment on offer.
2) They don't worry about their children's safety.
3) They like the fact that their children have fun.

5.    Lassiter is successful because
1) he has researched his market.
2) travelling can depend on his advice.
3) explorers benefit from his hostels.
