2. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits.（教材Page 6 2b）
此处whether引导的主语从句作句子的主语，这种情况下whether不能用if代替。

【拓展】whether和if的用法分析
whether和if都可以引导宾语从句，表示＂是否＂，在口语或间接引语中两者可以互换使用。
?I wonder if/whether I can get some advice from you.
?Ask him whether/if he can come.
但在有些情况下，whether和if的用法有一定区别。
（1）whether引导的从句常可以与连词or或or not直接连用，而if一般不能。
正：Let me know whether you can come or not.
误：Let me know if you can come or not.
（2）当宾语从句提到句首时，只能用whether引导，而不能用if。
正：Whether it is true or not, I can’t tell.

The very first capsule hotel to be opened in Shanghai has attracted many budget travelers with its prices, even though it is not fully operational yet.
The hotel consists of 68 "capsules", each 1.1-meters high, 1.1-meters wide and 2.2-meters long. The basic rate is 28 Yuan ($4.22) per person, plus an additional 4 Yuan an hour. The hotel also offers a package of 68 Yuan for 10 hours and 88 Yuan for 24 hours.
All of the capsules are imported from Japan where capsule hotels originated，and each is equipped with independent sockets, clocks, lights, TV and wireless Internet service. The hotel also has a public lavatory(洗手间), shower room, smoking room and shared guest room.
"This is a huge bargain compared with other budget hotels in Shanghai," said Ta Zan, the owner of the hotel. Ta used to stay at capsule hotels in Tokyo during his undergraduate years and worked at a capsule hotel while he was doing his MBA in Japan in 2005, so he knows how they work and how to make guests feel comfortable.
He based the hotel on capsule hotels in Japan but he has made some special changes based on Chinese guests’ habits. "In Japan capsule hotels are usually equipped with bathtubs, but in China people are more willing to take a shower, so we have the shower room," he said. He has also separated the capsules into three snoring(打鼾的) zones so that guests who often snore won’t disturb others. Like most of capsule hotels in Japan, the one in Shanghai is for men only.
But the idea of staying in such a compact space is not appealing to everyone. "I feel the idea is like putting a person in a coffin(棺材), and the price is also not that appealing. A bed at a youth hostel in Shanghai costs about 60 Yuan per night," said Wang Lei, a student from Beijing.
1. The first capsule hotels in the world appeared in .
A. Shanghai B. Japan C. Beijing D. America
2. If you stay in the capsule hotel in Shanghai for 8 hours, you will have to pay yuan.
A. 28 B. 60 C. 68 D. 88
3. What does the underlined word "compact" mean?
A. Dear B. Cheap. C. Close. D. Clean.
4. The capsule hotel in Shanghai differs from those in Japan in that .
A. it serves men as well as women B. its capsule is much larger
C. it has a shower room D. it has no snoring zones
5. We can know from the passage that .
A. everybody considers the capsule hotel a nice place to stay
B. all the capsules of the hotel were made in China
C. each capsule of the hotel has a private lavatory
D. no guest has ever stayed in the capsule hotel
B
Three students are talking about the New Year tradition of their own country.
A. Christina from Spain
On the last day of the year, the 31st of December, people wait till 12 p.m. Everybody must have 12 grapes to eat at midnight. At each sound of the clock, we must eat a grape.

One year, when there were a lot of grapes, the king of Spain decided to give grapes to everybody to eat on New Year’s Eve.
B. Cordon from Britain
On New Year’s Day in Britain, people have parties. At 12 o’clock, the music stops, and we listen to the radio. On the radio we hear Big Ben, the famous clock in London. Then everybody sings a song about friendship and kisses their friends. We say ＂Happy New Year＂ to each other. It’s lucky if a tall man with dark hair is the first person to come to the house in the New Year. So I go and visit as many friends as I can. They all give me a drink.
C. Angela from Brazil
In all cities in Brazil, we have a big party on New Year’s Eve, especially in Rio de Janeiro. People in this city go to the beaches to watch fireworks (焰火). We put flowers in the sea and think about things we want for ourselves or others. We usually wear white clothes for good luck during the New Year.
