Debs Hatfield, style adviser（时装顾问） at Manchester Arndale, said: “Before you can find the best fitting jeans for your body shape, you must have a clear understanding of what your body type actually is.”“That in itself（实际上） is no easy task since a lot of us aren’t a clear- cut type, but often a mixture of two or more.”

News of the device comes as research by Peacocks found 60 million pairs of jeans are stashed away （put away）in wardrobes throughout the country and never worn.

The survey of 2,000 shoppers found that one in five women owns six pairs of jeans they no longer wear due to (because of) weight loss or gain. Jane Hotz, director of ladies wear for Peacocks, added: “Finding the perfect pair of jeans is one of the most stressful shopping trips a woman has to endure, but it’s also one of life’s great highs (happiness) when you find jeans that fit great and look fantastic.”

第七篇 Russia Unveils the Design for Its First Space Hotel 俄罗斯公布了首座太空旅馆的

设计

If you’re tired of the Mediterranean and don’t want to head to Disney again, perhaps it’s time for a summer holiday in space. It would certainly be one way to avoid the crowds.

As the space tourism battle heats up, Russia has unveiled plans for its first floating hotel (浮动旅馆), 217 miles above earth, and it is something of a boutique offering.

Hosting just seven guests in four cabins, the accommodation will boast huge windows with views back to earth and tasty microwave meals will be served instead of the freeze-dried tubes of nourishment so often used by astronauts. Just getting there will be an adventure in itself – it will take two days aboard a Soyuz （前苏联宇宙飞船)联盟号 rocket – and it won’t exactly be a budget holiday: A five-day stay will cost you £100,000, on top of £500,000 for your journey.

The hotel, or the Commercial Space Station, to give it its proper name, is due to open by 2016 and, according to those behind it, will be “far more comfortable” than the International Space Station used by astronauts and cosmonauts. In the weightlessness of space, visitors can choose to have beds that are either vertical or horizontal, while showers will be sealed affairs to stop water going where it shouldn’t (those aboard the International Space Station must make do with （勉强，凑合）sponge baths until they return home).

Tourists, who will be accompanied by experienced crew, will dine on food prepared on Earth and sent up on the rocket, to be reheated in microwave ovens. Delicacies such as braised veal cheeks with wild mushrooms（野蘑菇炖牛肉） , white bean puree（白豌豆泥）, potato soup and plum compote（李子蜜饯）, will all be available.

Iced tea, mineral water and fruit juices will be available, but alcohol will be strictly prohibited. Toilets will use flowing air instead of water to move waste through the system. Waste water will be recycled, while the air will be filtered （过滤 ） to remove odour and bacteria and then returned to the cabin.

Sergei Kostenko, chief executive of Orbital Technologies which will construct the hotel, said: “Our planned module inside will not remind you of the International Space Station. A hotel should be comfortable inside, and it will be possible to look at the Earth through large portholes.” “The hotel will be aimed at wealthy individuals and people working for private companies who want to do research in space.”
