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.
小題1: 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
小題2: 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.
小題3: The underlined phrase "take heart" means"      ".
A.pay attentionB.take careC.cheer upD.calm down
小題4: 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

It seems that every week someone becomes “the first” or “the youngest” or even “the first married couple” to do something that doesn’t seem to be very useful to the rest of us.
Why do they do it? Don’t they have better things to do with their time and money? And why should I be interested anyway? Human beings have already climbed the highest mountains, sailed across the oceans and flown around the world. Many of these things were done a long, long time ago. There just isn’t anything left to explore nowadays. I suppose there’s still a lot of the universe left, and the bottom of the ocean is still a bit of a mystery, but you need a lot of technology to explore areas like that. So, those people who feel the need for adventure can only do things that have been done before.
In May of this year a British man became the first person to walk alone from Canada to the North Pole. Personally, if I wanted to visit the Arctic, I’d rather go as a tourist on a cruise ship, with a helicopter trip to the North Pole included in the price. But OK, this man decided that he wanted to walk. The problem was that he went in the spring when the ice begins to melt and break up. So he got stuck on a longely piece of ice and a plane had to be sent in to rescue him.
These sorts of rescues are making many Australians angry with these record breakers. People trying to break sailing or rowing records get into trouble in the seas. So the Australian navy has to send ships to save them and this costs the government millions of dollars. I suppose we can’t just leave them to drown but we should give the bill to the people who are rescued.
小題1:According to the author, the so-called record breakers          .
A.do not benefit other people at all
B.inspire people to continue exploring
C.a(chǎn)re boring and should be stopped
D.a(chǎn)re usually not wealthy enough
小題2:We can infer from the second paragraph that          .
A.there are no high mountains for people to climb
B.nothing is left for people to explore in the universe
C.it’s beyond ordinary people to explore the unknown
D.human beings could fly around the world long ago
小題3:Many Australians are angry because the record breakers        .
A.often get into trouble
B.never use a cruise ship or a helicopter
C.never pay their own costs
D.satisfy their needs at the cost of others’ interest
小題4:What is the writer’s attitude towards the record breakers?
A.Positive.B.Negative.
C.Uninterested.D.Neutral(中立的).

  Everyone knows that you can study the English language for years and still not understand a native speaker of English.
Well, here’s a secret for you: a lot of British people can’t understand each other either! Apart from the different regional accents across the country, language can also differ (不同) among age groups. The words and pronunciations used by young Britons can be very different to those used by adults. This is called “yoof” culture.
The word “yoof” is a slang (俚語) spelling of “youth”. Some people consider “yoof” to be a negative (消極的) term, since its pronunciation is easier than “youth”. Other people see the term as positive, because it describes how young people are creating their own language, concepts (觀念) and identity.
When parents find it difficult to understand their children, the children can say more things without the censorship (審查) of their parents. In this way, young people are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression.
They are creating a “yoof culture”. It is impossible to come up with a complete list of words used by yoof. By the time the list was completed, it would be out of date. New words come and go like fashions.
By A.J. Dalton
小題1:The point of the article is _____.
A.to list words used by yoof
B.to introduce UK yoof culture

小題2: According to the article, children are creating a “yoof culture” _______.
A.to stay cool among their peers
B.to draw more attention from their parents
C.to avoid interference of their parents in their lives
D.to keep up with the fast pace of modern society
小題3: According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?
A.The variety of regional accents in the UK is an obstacle to communication.
B.Some people consider the term “yoof” positive because it is easier to pronounce than “youth”.
C.A few vocabularies used by yoof are going to be collected in dictionaries.
D.Yoof culture is getting popular all around the English speaking countries.
小題4: By saying “Sorted!”, yoof probably means ______.
A.“I’m very tired.” B.“I understand.”

 Have you ever wondered why you sometimes take an almost immediate liking to a person you have just met? We often get the first impression of a people based on the color of a person’s skin or the manner in which he or she dressed. Meaning is conveyed not only by words or verbal languages but also by nonverbal communication systems, such as body behaviors.
Nonverbal communication is important because we use the actions of others to learn about their affective emotional states .Our emotions are reflected in our posture, face, and eyes—be it fear, joy, anger, or sadness—so we can express them without ever saying a word .For this reason, most of us rely heavily on what we learn through our eyes.
Nonverbal communication is significant in human interaction because it is usually responsible for the first impressions. More importantly, those first messages usually influence the perception(感知) of everything else that follows. Even how we select friends and sexual partners is grounded in first impressions with nonverbal communication.
Nonverbal communication is important because it is culture-related. It is based on different beliefs, religions, values and customs in different cultures. When, where, how, and to whom people display his or her specific nonverbal behaviors is greatly affected by culture and context. Culture determines what the appropriate nonverbal behavior is. For example, feelings of friendship exist everywhere but their expression varies. It may be appropriate in some countries for man to embrace each other and for women to hold hands; in other countries these displays of affection may be shocking. Each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication. What is acceptable in one culture may be completely unacceptable in another. One culture may determine that snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable; another may consider this gesture rude.
小題1: What is the best title of the passage ?
A.Nonverbal communication and first impressionB.Nonverbal communication is culture-related
C.Nonverbal and verbal communicationD.The importance of nonverbal communication
小題2: We can know a person’s feeling through our eyes because_________.
A.we can see a person’s feeling on his face

D.we can see a person’s feeling through his posture
小題3: Which of the following statements is not True ?
A.Meaning can be conveyed both by words and body language.
B.We can use nonverbal communication to learn about a person’s emotional states.
C.We often get the first impression by what a person says.
D.The first impression can affect what we will do in the following.
小題4:What can we conclude from the last paragraph ?

Thousands of years ago, birthdays were considered special days. On birthdays, the bad spirits were able to harm you and change your life. It was believed that the only way to solve the problem was to have your friends and family around you, so that good wishes and presents would keep the bad spirits away. Also, noisemakers were thought to be used at parties as a way of scaring away the evil spirits.
The custom of lighting candles was created by people believing that the gods lived in the sky. By lighting candles and torches, they were sending a signal or prayer to the gods, so they could be answered. Blowing out the candles and making a wish were thought to be another way of sending a signal or a message.
This is how the way we celebrate our birthdays came about. But different cultures celebrate in different ways.
The birthday story in the Bible(圣經(jīng)) that we know best is about the birth of the Christ in Bethlehem(地名:伯利恒). For nearly 2000 years since that day, the Christian world has been honoring this birth. The day many Englishmen celebrate is, of course, Christmas. There are other references to birthday parties. King Pharaoh celebrated his birthday by making a feast for his court followers. That was over 4000 years ago. The story of King Herod tells that on his birthday he made a supper for his lords, high captains and other special friends in Galilee (地名:加利利).
小題1: According to the passage, good wishes and presents given by one’s friends and family on his birthday can _____________________.
A.cheer him upB.prove that he’s a popular person
C.bring him a big fortuneD.push bad spirits away

With eco-tourism on the rise, eco-hotels are fast becoming the darling of the travel industry. These days, however, staying at an eco-hotel doesn’t necessarily mean vacationing in a tree house in the Costa Rican jungle, although that is certainly a choice.
The majority of eco-hotels fall into one of several categories: hotels and resorts that conserve ecologically important habitats; “green” hotels that reduce, recycle, minimize waste, and protect water; sustainable hotels that harvest food from gardens on the hotel property or get part or all of their power from renewable energy; hotels that encourage community involvement such as guests taking part in trail clearing; and hotels that offer some form of environmental education to their guests.
As such, eco-hotels are a various group. Stylish urban hotels like the Willard Inter-Continental Washington focus on energy conservation whereas the Rosario Resort & Spa on Orcas Island in Washington State offers a wildly popular “green” vacation package where guests can “take a hike, clear a trail”.
No matter what you call them, eco-hotel, eco-lodge, eco-resort, or green hotel, they’re all part of the “greening” of the tourism industry.
Part of what drives this greening of the hotel industry is no doubt competition. Going green is yet another way to distinguish a hotel from the mass of other excellent hotels that consumers have to choose from. But for many hotels, it’s also part of their philosophy. With the concept of “going green” firmly rooted in consumers’ minds, eco-hotels have taken it to the next level, and whether or not money is the driving factor behind the greening of the hotel industry doesn’t matter so much as it’s good for the planet.
小題1:The underlined part in the first paragraph means _______.
A.lovers like staying at an eco-hotel when traveling
B.eco-hotels are very popular in the travel industry
C.eco-hotels are where young people love to live
D.romantic love stories often happen in eco-hotels
小題2: According to the passage, which of the following can match the idea of eco-hotel?
A.It uses renewable energy.
B.It is comfortable and fashionable.
C.It has walls of glass.
D.It is home to endangered species.
小題3: From the passage, we know the Rosario Resort & Spa is a kind of hotel that _______.
A.protects important habitats
B.harvests food from its own garden
C.has courses on the environment for its guests
D.encourages its guests to participate in its greening activities
小題4: From the last paragraph, we can learn that _______.
A.money is the driving force behind eco-hotels
B.eco-hotels have no advantages in competing for guests
C.eco-hotels teach their guests the philosophy of eco-hotels
D.the hotel industry cares more about money than the environment
小題5: People who choose to stay at eco-hotels _______.
A.love to take a hike
B.have environmental awareness
C.want to live comfortably
D.enjoy the green atmosphere
