They were small inns built along the road . Later, as people began to travel by train, hotels were built in the centers of large cities. Usually located near railroad stations, these hotels were many stories tall and had hundreds of rooms. Although trains were a popular means of travel for some time, automobiles slowly began to take their place . Automobile travel caused problems for city hotels, which did not have enough parking space for so many cars. People who travel by automobile needed a different kind of hotel. They needed places to stay that were near highways and had room to park. Motorists did not like to drive in heavy city traffic to reach a hotel. The answer to the motorists problems came when a new kind of hotel was built. These new buildings were called motels, a word made from the first part of MOTORIST and the last part of HOTELS. Motels were much smaller than hotels. Built on ground level, often in separate units, they were more convenient for people traveling . The separate units also made them quieter than hotels, best of all, there was more than enough room for cars to park. Now many big hotels in the cities are being torn down. They can no longer make enough money to stay in business. In their place, many small motels have been built on the outskirts(近郊) of cities. Motels have become a big business in the United States.（ ）21.

To conserve is to save and protect, to leave What we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers(祖先) had no idea that human populartion would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until yet recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and “inexhaustible（不渴的）”. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that suns all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, and unhealthy conditioin of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others parts Fifty years ago, nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry(林业) was a new idea; timber(木材) was still cheap because it could be bought in any quantity from distant woodlands; spill destruction and river floods were not national problems. Nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation toproperland use; even the word “conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today. For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about correcting the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of everyones daily life. To know about the water table in the ground is just as important to us a basic knowledge. We need to know why all water resources need to be protected for maintainning plant life and why the running rurrents of streams and rivers must be made to yield their full benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, mature trees, because living space for most of mans fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume above the earth. In brief, it should be our goal to restore as much of orginal beauty of nature as we can.( )36In the writers opinion, our ancestors_.

To keep ourselves away from the mistakes of our forefathers, the writer points out that _ A.conservation should become everybodys daily practice B. more trees should be planted than those we cut down C. scientific forestry shoule be a basic knowledge to people D.school courses should include protection of environment( )39.The sentence “we need to know why the running currents of streams and rivers must be made to yield their full benefit to the soil”(Para.3) indicates that .
