Despite differences m decoration and price, one thing most hotels have in common is a set of rules. Failure to obey these rules can result in fees or fines to cover hotel room damages, removal from the hotel or possibly even arrest.SmokingSome hotels are completely non-smoking. Some hotels designate smoking and non-smoking rooms. If you smoke in a non-smoking room, you will likely be fined hundreds of dollars and possibly asked to leave.Number of GuestsMost regular hotel rooms are designed for two adults. If you have more than two people staying in the room, the hotel will likely charge an additional fee for each extra guest, though some hotels let children stay free. Do not put more than four adults in the room unless the hotels policy permits that many people. Or you might be fined or removed from the hotelHotel Reservations RequirementsMost hotels require a major credit card to reserve the room. You can pay cash at the end of your stay, but do not be surprised if there is a temporary charge on your card for a few days after your stay. Most hotels authorize a security deposit on your card to cover any possible damages to the room. Once the hotel confirms that the room is undamaged and that you do not break any hotel policies, your security deposit will be refunded.Breaking the LawYou cannot break the law in your hotel room, just as you cannot break the law in your own home or in public.

Recently he created truly revolutionary-clip-on running shoes for horses. While the iron horseshoe is known for its durability and adjustability it also has some serious flaws-its heavy, restricts movement, has no shock absorption, channels heat and cold to the inner hoof, and the need for nailing can destroy the hoof horn. But finding hoof boots that dont rub on a horse, leg and hoof, are easy to put on and remove, and stay on all kinds of terrain(地形), can be a real struggle. The Megasus Horserunners claim to combine all the qualities of both choices, while getting rid of the downsides.“The innovative Megasus Horserunners offer many advantages. They are lightweight, can be adjusted individually, easy to put on, and offer protection without permanence,” a Megasus press release states.“It can also stay put in all kinds of terrain including mud and water plus it allows the hoof to be flexible. The product is also designed to protect the sole from bruising, cracking and other injuries by offering shock absorption. It does not accumulate snow, dirt or mud and is easy to clean.”After successful tests, Megasus sought to raise some money for production through crowdfunding online, asking for 100,00. Finally, they managed to raise 169,136. The first Megasus Horserunners are scheduled to be shipped in July 2017.28. Forstner decided to change the iron horseshoe because           .A. he wanted to increase his fame.      B. he found the iron horseshoe made horses suffer.C. his company asked him to invent a new horseshoe.  D. he was an animal welfare inspector.29.

They collected money on a platform online.   B. They raised money among their campaigners.C. They borrowed money from the local banks.   D. They launched a campaign in the market.31.
