　　Tourism probably started in Roman times．Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman empire．But when the empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped．

　I　n the early 17th century, the idea of the “Grand Tour” was born．Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel(英吉利海峽)．They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice(威尼斯)in Italy．Their tours lasted for two to four years, and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city．The “Grand Tour” was an important part of young people’s education－but only for the rich．

　　In the 18th century, tourism began to change．For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns, such as Bath to “take the waters”．They believed that the water there was good for their health．So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns．

　　In the 19th century, travel became much more popular and faster．When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between towns, so they started to go for holidays by the sea．And some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger, noisier and dirtier．

　　Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built．People began to travel more to far away countries．

　　The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people．Planes were made larger, so ticket prices dropped and more people used them．

　　Thus tourism grew．In 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays．The company organizes everything－plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food－and tourists pay for it all before they leave home．The package tour and modern tourist industry was born．

　　The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949．But tourism did not take off until 1978．In 2002, the industry was worth 500 billion yuan and became an important part of China’s social development．

There was great interest when a big hole mysteriously appeared in the middle of a field. Engineers were called in to explain how it had got there. They offered various explanations but were not at all sure how the hole had been caused, it was thought that a large bomb which came suddenly exploded, but it was not possible to prove this. A simple, but highly improbable explanation was offered by a man who declares to know well about “flying saucers”; the strange objects which are round in shape and are said to visit the earth from outer space. The man’s explanation may have been nonsense (胡說(shuō)八道), but at least it was imaginative. At any rate, it was far more interesting than the one given by the army.

   After examining the ground carefully the man declared to have seen special marks on the soil quite near the hole, these, he said, could only have been caused by a flying saucer. Moreover the leaves on some bushes nearby had turned yellow because of a strange hot gas which had come from the saucer just before it landed. Even a small tree some way off appeared to have been burnt slightly. A small piece of metal found in the hole itself gave further proof that a strange object had been there. According to the man, it was quite clear that people from another world had been going around the earth trying to pick up information, when something had gone wrong. Because of this they had been forced to land in a field so that the damage could be repaired. The hole had been caused when the saucer struck the earth, while the strange marks nearby were made when it took off again. This, said the man, was the simplest explanation of how the hole had appeared. Judging from the interest the public took in the matter, there must be quite a few people who secretly believe or hope that this simple explanation is the true one.

1.What aroused public interest?

 A. A mysterious hole in a field.              B. Various explanations offered by experts.

 C. A simple explanation given by a man.      D. The shape of the flying saucers.

2.The author thought the man’s explanation was________. 

 A. boring but imaginative                  B. reasonable and interesting

 C. meaningless but interesting              D. mysterious and unbelievable

3.The man found a lot of proofs except ____. 

 A. special marks on soil near the hole     B. yellow leaves on some bushes nearby

 C. a small piece of meal in the hole       D. the remains of the flying saucer

4.It’s said the outer-space people were circling the earth _______.

 A. to repair their saucer                 B. to strike the earth

 C. to. collect information              D. to make strange marks

When former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president’s wife as Mrs．Kim．By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese．Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names．President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohm Myong Suk．Therefore, she should be addressed（稱(chēng)謂）as Mrs．Sohn．

         President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears．His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan．

         In addition to Koreans, some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names．This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents．They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name．Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures．

         Mexican naming customs are different as well．When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word de （of）．This affects how they fill in forms in the United States．When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name．But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother．This often causes puzzlement．

         Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name．Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed. Ask which name a person would prefer to use．If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly．

63．The story of Bill Clinton is used to            ．                                                               

         A．improve US Kotean relations                                 B．introduce the topic of the text

         C．describe his visit to Korea                             D．tell us how to address a person

64．The word “gears” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to           ．                     

         A．a(chǎn)ction plans                                                               B．naming customs

    C．travel maps                                                                D．thinking patterns

65．When a woman marries in Koreas, she            ．                                                     

         A．continues to use her family name                        B．uses her husband’s given name

   C．shares her husband’s family name                        D．a(chǎn)dds her husband’s given name to hers

66．To address a married woman properly, you’d better           ．                                        

    A．use her middle name                                                   B．use her husband’s first name

         C．a(chǎn)sk her which name she likes                                D．change the order of her names
