     Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems.    1  . If tourists create too much traffic, the
inhabitants become angry and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They
forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a
destination country and how tourism affects them.    2  .   
     Tourism should also improve the health and happiness of the local inhabitants.   
     Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to
work in the tourism industry.    3  .   
     On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money.
It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, first-class roads and other support facilities
(設(shè)施) needed by tourist attractions.    4  . If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the
hotel 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.    5   . If they are not used because there are
not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
A. This means other parts of the country's economy can suffer   
B. Tourism can bring a lot of benefits   
C. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants
   (the people living there) of a country   
D. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars
    per room to build   
E. All of these support facilities cost money   
F. Therefore, tourism plays an important part in local economy   
G. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists

     It tastes just like chicken away from home, and eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full.
It is a language all its own, and no words can say "Glad to meet you...glad to be doing business with you..."
quite like sharing a meal offered by your host.
     Clearly, mealtime is not the time for you to say, "No, thanks." Acceptance of the food on your plate means
acceptance of host, country, and company. So, no matter how difficult it may be to swallow, swallow. Or,
as one experienced traveler says, "Travel with a cast-iron stomach and eat everything everywhere."
     Often, the food offered represents proudly your host country's eating culture. What would Ataiericans think
of a French person who refused to take a bite of homemade apple pie or sirloin? Our discomfort comes not
so much from the thing itself; it comes from our unfamiliarity with it. After all, an oyster has remarkably the
same look as a sheep's eye; and a first look at a lobster would remind almost anybody of a creature from a
science fiction movie, not something you dip in butter and eat. By the way, in Saudi Arabia sheep's eyes are
a famous dish.
     Can you refuse such food without being rude? Most experienced business travelers say no, at least not
before taking at least a few bites. It helps, though, to slice any item very thin. This way, you minimize the
taste and the reminder of where it came from. Or, "Swallow it quickly," as one traveler recommends. "I still
can't tell you what sheep's eyeballs taste like." As for dealing with taste, the old line that "It tastes just like
chicken" is often thankfully true. Even when "it" is really rat or snake.
     Another useful piece of advice is not knowing what you are eating. What's for dinner? Don't ask. Avoid
glancing into the kitchen or looking at English-language menus. Your host will be pleased that you are eating
the food he offers, and who knows? Maybe it really is chicken in that soup.
1. The purpose of the article is to _____.
A. introduce unfamiliar food
B. share the writer's personal experiences
C. suggest ways to overcome a cultural barrier in eating
D. advise on how to politely refuse to eat foreign food
2. According to the writer, people hesitate at strange food mainly due to _____.
A. the way it looks
B. safety worries
C. lack of information about it
D. the unfamiliar atmosphere
3. From the article we can infer that _____.
A. an American may feel comfortable with sirloin
B. one should refuse strange food after a few bites
C. English-language menus are not always dependable
D. one needs a cast-iron stomach to travel in any country
4. One may say "It tastes just like chicken" when _____.
A. showing respect for chicken-loving nations
B. greeting people with different dieting habits
C. evaluating chefs at an international food festival
D. getting someone to try a visually unpleasant meal

     Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use
one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more
than a means of communication-having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
     The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some
doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile
phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried
about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your
health.
      On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use
mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning (掃描)equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss,
He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to
talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week,for a couple of years. His
family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
     What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can
detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some
radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
     As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use
your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it.
Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may
have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone
too often.
1. The world "detected" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by _____.
A. discovered
B. removed
C. cured
D. caused
2. The salesman retired young because _____.
A. he disliked using mobile hones
B. he couldn't remember simple tasks
C. he was tired of talking on his mobile phone
D. his employer's doctor persuaded him to
3. On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies _____.
A. deny the existence of mobile phone radiation
B. develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation.
C. hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about
D. try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health

     General Airport Tips
     Plan to get to the airport at least an hour early, or two during holidays and other busy times; this will
reduce the stress of the flight. If all goes well, you will have time to relax, shop for last-minute items, or
have a meal before the flight.
      Flight Delays
     Find out why your flight is delayed. Call the free call numbers. Find out if other airlines are experiencing
similar delays. If you believe the delay is due to something other than weather or air traffic problems, then
mention your suspicion (懷疑) and ask the airline agent to book you on the next available flight, either on the
same air-line or a competing one. This is called "Rule 240", and all airlines are required to do it. Use the lingo
(行話); ask,"Can you 240 me?" when speaking with an agent. They will know what you mean.
     Flight Cancellations (取消)
     If your flight is canceled, then make a reservation on the next flight to your destination. Usually, air-line
personnel will try to book everyone on their next flight out. Often they will put you on a competitor's next
flight only if you request it. If on-time arrival is important to you, when you check flights through our
reservation system you can rate your choices based on their on-time arrival records. Be sure to also check the
weather conditions, as they often affect flight schedules.

     Sometimes teens need to have some time away from their families. They may want to move out of the
family home for a while. Many parents will say no to this demand. But experts say it might be a good idea
to let your teens live with a friend or relative.
     "It was the break I need at the time," said Richant Lerner. He is talking about the time he spent living
with grandmother when he was 15.
     "It allowed me to be a different person than I was with my parents," Lerner said. He now heads the
Institute (學(xué)會(huì))for Children, Youth and Families at Michigan State University. Experts say teens living away
from their families can test new ways of thinking and getting along with people. They may see new solutions
to problems.
     This is different from running away, the experts stress (強(qiáng)調(diào)). Runaways are often feeing serious
problems.
     Some teens who want some time away from family attend a structured summer program. Others live for
a while with a relative or with the family of a friend. If there is a conflict (沖突) at home, having a teen live
elsewhere can benefit other family members. It gives everyone space to develop better relationships.
     Joseph Kett teaches history at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He says living at home until the
late years has become the norm (準(zhǔn)則) only in recent times. "In the 17 th century, children were often sent to
live in other people's homes when they were about 10 or 11," he said.
1. When children seriously disagree with their parents, experts suggest that parents should____.

     Who are the elders in your family? The most common answer is that they are your parents, grandparents,
uncles, aunts, and elder cousins--in a word, any relative who is older than you. But that doesn't really answer
the question, does it? In a normal family, there is a big difference between being elderly and being an elder.
     Elders are the storytellers, the cooks, the historians, the authorities, the knitters, and the workhorses. They
are the people we respect and turn to for answers or help when we are in trouble, because of their many years
of life experience. Most of all, they are the people who raised you and your loved ones and helped you growing
into the people you are. For many years, they carried the burden of caring for your family and leading it to
better times. Now it's your turn to dote on them. Ensuring the welfare of your elders should come as naturally
to us as raising our children.
     Unfortunately, too many people take their parents' and grandparents' ability to care for them for granted.
And in a country where so many of us live hundreds of miles from our families, looking after loved ones can
be difficult. Even so, you should make sure your loved ones are taken care of no matter where they live, and
try to look after the seniors living alone in your neighbor, too. Taking responsibility for the elders in our society
in an important thing that all citizens should do.
1. According to the author, elders are those who _____.
A. are much older than us
B. bring us up by working hard
C. give us money and food
D. have many interesting stories
2. Which of the following opinions doesn't the author agree with?
A. naturally that the elders should take care of themselves
B. It's our duty to take care of the elders when they are old
C. We should take care of the elders even if a long distance separates us from them
D. Looking after the elders is as important as raising our children
3. In which of the following columns would you most probably read this passage?
A. Education
B. Parenting
C. Society
D. Family
4. The passage was written to _____.
A. explain what elders are like
B. criticize those people who don't respect elders
C. Explain why we should love elders
D. Call on people to respect and love elders

     People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive carelessly up
and down America's main streets. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn't forget
that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.
     I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman's funeral (葬禮) which happened in a church. A teenage grandson stepped forward. Softly he began: "I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would attack her, what would Nana say? 'Oh, what beautiful
markings that dog has.' That was Nana."
     "She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful
businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for
Grandpa's career," he said, with a voice now trembling."That was Nana's way." Finally, in a voice breaking
free of sorrow, he looked up and said,"Nana taught me courage. She put up a fight to the end, when she died
peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana's way, and I hope I can carry on in the same
manner."
     There are no hearts as sensitive (敏感的) as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them
for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven't learned to be controlled. When that boy rose
to speak about the woman who had been his dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the
open where we could no longer hide. I was moved and learned a lot.
1. According to the paragraph, what does "light" stand for?
A. not heavy
B. the positive side of things
C. a device (裝置) for lighting or igniting fuel or charges or fires
D. having a relatively small amount of coloring agent
2. From the boy's speech, we know his grandmother ______.
A. was a weak woman living in the shadow of his grandpa
B. liked dogs very much even if they often attacked her
C. could see everything around her though she was old
D. had great influence over the boy when she was alive
3. We can infer from the passage that the boy ______.
A. was filled with sadness and gave up finishing his talk
B. was always very good at expressing himself
C. practiced a lot in order to give a moving speech
D. had great difficulty in accepting the loss of Nana
4. The writer wanted to tell the readers ______.
A. the young people were too weak to face certain facts
B. the young people have learned to control themselves
C. the adults could learn something valuable from the young
D. the adults should teach the young how to deal with the death

     Winter's short days are more than cold. For many people, winter depression, the most common type
of Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD), is as much a part of the reason as hats and scarves (圍巾).
     Winter serious SAD sufferers may need medical treatment. Those feeling a little blue can help themselves
by sticking to a healthy lifestyle. Here are some tips:
     Pace yourself. Don't expect to do everything you normally can. Set a realistic schedule. Don't listen to
negative thinking, like blaming yourself or expecting to fail.
     Get involved in activities that make you feel good or feel like you've achieved something. For example,
play table tennis or badminton.
     If you are feeling depressed, you may feel like staying away from friends. Yet this is a time when a
friend's support can be helpful. Call them regularly. Remember, the more we put off calling or visiting a
friend, the harder it is to rebuild a friendship.
     Think clearly about what's wrong or right. Instead of giving in to vague feelings of sadness, look at
your problems objectively. Break down problems into specific issues that you can work on.
    Regular exercise helps to prevent and ease depression.
    Eat well. Studies show that a healthy diet can help to maintain(keep) a healthy body and mind. The
vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients found in a balanced diet may help our bodies to produce feel-good
hormones (荷爾蒙).Foods containing chemicals to help produce feel-good hormones include bananas,
turkey, nuts and seeds. Eat at least five pieces of fruit and vegetables every day. P.S.Symptoms (癥狀)
of SAD: No interests or pleasure in things you used to enjoy Increased need for sleep A change in eating
habits, especially an appetite for sweet or starchy (含淀粉的) foods Weight gain A heavy feeling in the
