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, 5,200 people 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. 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 than 20 years 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 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.

What is probably the best title for the article?

A. Tourism Causes Bad Effects.           B. Tourism Calls for Good Behavior.

C. Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun.           D. Vacations Cost More Than You Think

Which of the following is not mentioned?

A. Local people were well paid to leave their lands.

B. Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people.

C. Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work.

D. Tourists could bargain with local people for a reasonable price.

The underlined phrase "take heart" means"       ".

A. pay attention    B. take care         C. cheer up        D. calm down

According to the passage, the writer thinks           .

A. tourism is not a promising industry

B. dream vacations should be spent abroad

C. the problems caused by tourism are easy to settle

D. tourists should respect local customs and culture

In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn't much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don't want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.
So they move out of the cities. Some don't go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities. Other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don't make so much money and there isn't much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren't always very friendly.
As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. "It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights," they say.
【小題1】Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China?

A．The countryside is much poorer than the city.
B．People in the countryside have nothing to eat.
C．People in the countryside don't have much work to do there.
D．Services in cities are usually much better than those in the countryside.
【小題2】Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside?
A．Because they will find good jobs.
B．Because they are tired of living in the city.
C．Because they can make more money there.
D．Because they like feeding sheep and cows in the green fields.
【小題3】After moving to the countryside, some people in Europe feel unhappy because ___________
A．they can't make much money
B．there isn't much work for them to do in the countryside
C．some people in the countryside aren't always very friendly to them
D．A, B and C
【小題4】The underlined sentence in the last paragraph shows __________
A．they are happy to move back to the city
B．they miss their friends in the countryside
C．they still want to move to the countryside
D．they are tired of the noise and the crowded streets in the city
【小題5】The best title of this passage may be “__________”
A．A happy life!B．Living in the city!
C．Moving out or moving back ?D．Living in the countryside!
