enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. if tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. they begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. they forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy. 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 the wealth and happiness of 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. this means that other parts of the countrys 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 great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, firstclass roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)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 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.1which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?ait is extremely important to develop tourism.bbuilding roads and hotels is essential.csupport facilities are highly necessary.dplanning is of great importance to tourism.答案：d本文一开始便讲如果没有适当的计划，旅游业会带来的各种问题，可见前文叙述适当计划的好处，以正反两方面来阐述。2the underlined word“inhabitants”

earth day canada president jed goldberg says that as people become more environmentally aware, they want to find ways to reduce their environmental influence, not just celebrate one special event.“earth day is a great launching_pad for thinking about environmental action every day，” said goldberg. “choosing healthier options, even for the short term, can lead to thinking about the influence of our decisions for a lifetime.”thats the reason behind the “give it up for earth day” campaign. its designed to encourage healthy habits that benefit people and the planet. it challenges everyone to help create a healthier world by making changes in their daily routine.“we wanted to plan an actiontargeted campaign that will give people a chance to act on their concern for the environment in a positive way，” said goldberg.the campaign has identified four daily actions that can add up to huge environmental savings. they include pledging (保证) to turn off the tv, give up the use of poisonous cleaners, reduce consumption of consumer products and cut out meat.at the end of april, all of the pledges will be recorded and converted (转化) into the number of tv hours not watched,

natural rock pool below our house. it was a sunny day. but as i looked into the distance, i discovered a series of three or four big waves racing towards the shore. they must have been at least four meters high and were heading at speed in the direction of the pool. from the screams that started coming from the beach, i could tell someone was in trouble.without thinking, i held my bodyboard (冲浪板) and shouted at a stranger to call the lifeguards (救生员). my neighbor moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his bodyboard, so together we rushed to the sea.once we got closer, we discovered two people floating about 400 meters out. waiting for help wasnt a choice. i didnt think twice about trying to save them. when we finally reached them 10 minutes later, they were almost lifeless, pale and motionless. we could tell they were still alive from their small breaths. we put them on our boards, patted their faces to wake them up, telling them to be strong, all the while swimming hard to keep ourselves afloat.thirty minutes later, i began to feel a bit afraid and tired. finally, a small boat with three lifeguards headed towards us. when the boat pulled up, we helped push the couple on board, only to be told that there was no room for us. it seemed pretty unprofessional (不专业的) to leave us therewe were a couple of miles from the shore.i didnt feel like a hero. im sure that anyone who could swim would have done the same thing.文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和他的邻居救助两位被海浪冲离岸边的游泳者的故事。9what can we learn from the passage?aa stranger asked the writer to call the lifeguards.bthe
