浙江省2016高考英语二轮练习：说理议论阅读理解（5）解析答案

说理议论（阅读理解）由 (2011新课标全国,B)改编

While small may be beautiful,tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems,particularly when it

comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.

The Tall Persons Club Great Britain(TPCGB),which was formed six months ago to campaign

for the needs of the tall,has turned its attention to hotels and that are too

small,shower heads that are too low,and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life

difficult for those of above average height,it says.

But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being average height of the

population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds,doorways,and chairs has remained

unchanged.

“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it,so even a

king-size bed at 6'6″(6 feet and 6 inches)is falling short for 25% of men,while the standard 6'3″ bed

caters for less than half of the male population,”said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy,“Seven-foot

beds would work fine.”

Similarly,restaurant tables can cause no end of tables,which mean the

long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them,are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.

Some have already taken note, Queens Moat Houses’ Caledonian Hotel in

Edinburgh,6'6″ beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller

visitors,particularly Americans.
