People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the church and have made up their minds to    15   the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest（抗議） against heavy trucks which run    16   through the narrow High Street.“They not only make it    17   to sleep at night, but they are doing damage（損害） to our houses and shops of historical   18  ,”

said John Norris, one of the protesters.

“ 19  we must have these noisy trucks on the roads,” said Jean Lacey, a biology student, “why don’t they build a new road that goes round the town? Burlington isn’t much more than a  20    village. Its streets were never meant for heavy traffic”.

　　Harry Fields also studying    21    said they wanted to make as much noise as possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody was having to stand. “Most of them don’t live here anyway,” he said, “they come in for meetings and the Town Hall is soundproof（隔音的）, so they probably don’t    22   . It’s high time they realized the problem.” The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were mostly on their side, and even if they weren’t they soon would be.

　　I asked if they were    23    that the police might come to stop them.

　　“Not really,” she said, “actually we are suitable bellringers. I mean we are assistant bellringers for the church. There is no    24    against practising.”

I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the local people of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the local people become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy(經(jīng)濟(jì)). It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance(推進(jìn)) the well-being (health and happiness) of local people.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a lot of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
【小題1】What is probably the reason if local people dislike tourists?

A．Tourists come to enjoy the customs and beauty.
B．Local people lose jobs.
C．A lot of hotels are built.
D．Too many tourists cause traffic problems.
【小題2】What can we do to solve the problems caused by tourism?
A．Make plans properly
B．Help the country’s economy.
C．Build fewer hotels.
D．Advance the well-being of local people.
【小題3】If tourism grows too quickly, ___________.
A．businesses will lose money
B．other parts of the country’s economy will make more money
C．local people will be happier
D．more local people will work for tourists.
【小題4】Support facilities needed by tourist attractions includes ___________.
①public places ②hotels ③airports ④roads ⑤electricity  ⑥sewers
A．①②③④⑤B．②③④⑤⑥C．①②③⑤⑥D．①③④⑤⑥
【小題5】If the writer wants to add Paragraph 5 to the passage, he may tell us ________.
A．whether people need to build more hotels
B．whether people need to plan tourism properly
C．how to deal with the problems above
D．how to prevent tourism growing too quickly
