17．In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh．The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War．
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness，Richard Burton，Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrica as well as the big symphony or orchestras（交響樂(lè)團(tuán)）．It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400，000 people yearly．
At the same time，the"Fringe"appeared as a challenge to the official festival．Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years．
Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh．
Today the"Fringe"，once less recognized，has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500 performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts．And yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big．
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself．In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1，695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries．More than 1.25 million tickets were sold．

25．Point was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning？A
A．To bring Europe together again．
B．To honor heroes of World War 11．
C．To introduce young theatre groups．
D．To attract great artists from Europe．

A．They owned a public house there．
B．They came to take up a challenge．
C．They thought they were also famous．
D．They wanted to take part in the festival．
27．Who joined the"Fringe"after it appeared？B
A．Popular writers            
B．University students．
C．Artists from around the world．
D．Performers of music and dance．
28．We may learn from the text that Edinburgh FestivalD．

5．What's your dream vacation？Watching wildlife in Kenya？Boating down the Amazon？Sunbathing in Malaysia？New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world．So we visit travel agents，compare packages and prices，and pay our money．
We know what our vacation costs us．But do we know what it might cost someone else？It's true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income．Unfortunately，though，tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them．
It might cost their homes and lands．In Myanmar，5，200people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas（佛塔）in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas．
Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood and dignity（尊嚴(yán)）．Local workers often find only menial（卑微的）jobs in the tourist industry．And most of the profits do not help the local economy．Instead，profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries．When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands，some moved to city slums．Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos．
Problems like these were observed more that 20years ago．But now some non-government organizations，tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them．Tourists，too，are putting on the pressure．
The result is responsible tourism，or"ethical tourism．"Ethical tourism has people at its heart．New international agreements and codes of conduct can help protect the people's lands，homes，economies and cultures．The beginnings are small，though，and the problems are complex．
But take heart．The good news is that everyone，including us，can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit．Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages．
They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel，restaurants and guide services．They can share profits fairly to help the local economy．And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism．
What can tourists do？First，we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens．We can then make our choices and tell them why．And while we're abroad，we can：
Buy local foods and products，not imported ones．
Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price．
Avoid flaunting（招搖的） wealth．
Ask before taking photographs of people．
They are not just part of the landscape!
Let's enjoy our vacation and make sure others do，too．

（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS．）
73．What's the main idea the writer intends to tell us in this passage？Vacations cost more than you think
74．Why does the author say vacations cost someone else in this passage？Tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them．
75．It can be learned from the passage that profits go back to richer countries throughthe tour operators．
76．In which aspect can they involve the local people？In planning and managing tourism．．

12．Which comes first，happiness or money？Are richer people happier？And if so，how do people get much richer？A recent study could tell you the answer．
The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29．Those who were happiest earned an average of $8，000 more than those who were the most depressed．
The researchers，from University College London and the University of Warwick，say that very gloomy teens，no matter how tall or smart they were，earned 10% less than their peers，while the happier ones earned up to 30% more．
Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school，college and the job interview，chiefly because they always feel better about life．It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends，who are often the key to homework help or networking．
A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness．In August scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women，Alas （the same gene doesn't appear to have the same effect on men）．And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest．
The big question is：if it is really true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids，is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework？The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades．Studies do show，after all，that more education leads to betterpaid jobs，which may give us a deep thought．
"These findings show that the teenagers'happiness is important to their future success，"one of the report's authors writes．"But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork．"

28．What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study？A
   A．Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier．
   B．Money can make people become happier．
   C．Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all．
   D．Schoolwork can help teens achieve success．
29．The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is thatC．
   A．they are easy to communicate with others
   B．they are good at doing their schoolwork
   C．they are hopeful and optimistic about their life
   D．they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day
30．The underlined word"gloomy"in Paragraph 3 probably means"A"．
   A．upset            B．glorious              C．happy             D．wealthy
31．What can be the best title for the text？D
   A．The way to educate kids．           B．The source of happiness．
   C．How to achieve your goal            D．The secret of being wealthier．
