1. (2019·丽水模拟) 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。

Instead of buying a house in the suburbs or an apartment in the city center, many people<br />are starting to purchase apartments in hotels. Unlike traditional apartments, your neighbors<br />are always changing in hotel apartments. This could be a problem at the height of the tourist<br />season as hotels fill up with loud, energetic guests, but many people prefer these kinds<br />of arrangements for different reasons. Many are no doubt drawn to the luxurious furnishing<br />of the rooms. Others may like the fact that the decoration has already been taken care<br />of by the hotel staff. Another advantage is the service that hotels provide. You have<br />maids to clean and repairmen to fix things, and management is there to provide the same<br />service that it would for any short-term guest. However, none of these reasons explain why<br />people buy hotel rooms as the main apartment for their families. Hotels are not really<br />designed to become long-term apartments, but more people are beginning to do this. So it<br />is possible that these disadvantages, such as small living space and ever-changing neighbors,<br />might not actually be that important.<br />Instead of buying a house in the suburbs or an apartment in the city center, many people<br />are starting to purchase apartments in hotels.
