island，facing the western peaks of YuShan or Jade Mountain to the east and dominating overthe Jiayi-Tainan Plains to the west with the cities of Nantou and Aoqu to the north and the strategic Gaoxiong and Pingdong to the southA lush，tree-clad mountain，now and then shrouded in mist and fog，it is a real enchanting experience to make ones way up the mountain and experience the myriad changes in the scenery and the many exotic sights on the wayThat is why so many sightseers would like to go holidaying there About the origin of the name Ali，there is this story in circulation：Once upon a time，the Gaoshan or High Mountain Tribe had a chieftain whose name was A-Ba-LiWhile giving chase to a white deer one day, he arrived at this spotBut then all of a sudden the deer had vanished from sight while before him was unfolding a beautiful scene of luxuriant wooded hillsSo he persuaded his tribe to come with him and，after overcoming many difficulties，turned the mountain into new hunting groundsIn

industryThese segments are business andprofessional travelers，vacation and leisure travelers，mature travelers and international travelersLets take a brief look at the size，importance，and common characteristics of each of these segments Business travel is considered to be the backbone or “bread and butter” of the tourism industry，because business people are often required to travel as a part of their day-to-day activitiesSince travel is a part of their jobs，the amount of money they spend on tourism services tends to stay fairly constant，and they are not as price-sensitive as vacation and leisure travelersTherefore，the demand for business travel services is fairly inelasticWhen demand does not significantly change with price fluctuations，it is said to be inelasticIn contrast，when demand changes substantially as price fluctuates，it is referred to as elasticThe demand for vacation and leisure travel and tourism services is elastic since it can be significantly influenced by changes in prices The prices travelers pay for airline tickets provide an excellent example highlighting differences between inelastic and elastic demandsWhen looking at air fares，you may have noticed the least expensive air fares are the ones booked the furthest in advance of the scheduled departure dateSince business people typically have to travel on short notice，they are willing to pay higher fares to obtain needed servicesHowever，since leisure travel is elastic and these individuals can plan their trips in advance，they are attracted to lower air faresHow would the concepts of inelastic and elastic demand work for a downtown commercial hotel experiencing heavy demand from business travelers during the weekdays while attempting to fill the rooms with leisure travelers on the weekend? As companies become more global in their activities，business travel should continue to grow In fact，travel and the expenses related to travel are the third 1argest expense for corporations，right after labor and information-processing expenses21 Special attention must be paid to the _ of the four large distinctive segments of tourism consumersAtourism industry Bsizes and importanceCvacation and leisure Dcommon characteristics22 The people working in tourism industry have their_ from business travel.Alarge income Bbread and butterCjobs Dprice fluctuations23 Vacation and leisure travelers are sensitive to _Achanges in travel Bsignificant influenceCtravel price Dtourism services24People usually pay _ for needed servicesAhigh fares Bhigher faresCscheduled prices Dinelastic fares 25 The further in advance of the departure date the _ is the air faresAmore elastic Bmore inelastic Chigher DlowerCloze：(115=15)Directions：Choose the best answer from the choices given to complete the passage and blacken the corresponding letter A，B，C or D on the ANSWER SHEET People travel for a lot of reasonsSome tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines 26 are looking for culture，or simply want to have their picture 27 in front of famous placesBut most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie 28 . Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and 29 a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of itResidents of cities like London，spend a lot of their winter in the dark 30 the days are so short，and much of the rest of the year in the rainThis is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted themEvery summer，more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean 31 and beaches for the same reason：sun!
