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? Its true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income(收入). 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(贫民窟). Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos. Problems like these were observed more that 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 peoples 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 were abroad, we can: Buy local foods and products, not imported ones. Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain(讨价还价) for the cheapest price. Avoid flaunting(炫耀) wealth. Ask before taking photographs of people. They are not just part of the landscape! Lets enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.56. 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 Think57. 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.58. The underlined phrase take heart means .A. pay attention B. take care C. cheer up D. calm down59. According to the passage, the writer thinks .A. tourism is not a promising industryB. dream vacations should be spent abroadC. the problems caused by tourism are easy to settleD. tourists should respect local customs and cultureBCBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied with it and that is why in 2003 and 2004 the company received letters of complaints from consumers or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following table. Those about passengers things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to service work with passengers are not satisfied with. Oversales of seats are about the fact that more seats are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail to receive the money paid back to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of tickets.Consumer Complaints Received By the CBCCategory20032004Flight problems20.2%22.1%Baggage18.3%21.8%Customer service3.1%11.3%Oversales of seats10.5%11.8%Refund problems10.1%8.1%Fares6.4%6.0%Reservation & Ticketing5.8%5.6%Tours3.3%2.3%Smoking3.2%2.9%Advertising1.2%1.01%Credit1.0%0.8%Special passengers0.9%0.9%Others6.0%5.3%Total Number of Complaints2,9881,79260.

Perhaps alcoholism(酗酒) and drug addiction (吸毒上瘾) really are “diseases,” as many people say, but my own feeling - based, of course, not on any serious study - is that most alcoholics and drug addicts belong to the “undeserving poor.” And that is largely why I dont give spare change to beggars.But surely among the street people there are also some who can rightly be called “deserving.” Deserving what? My spare change? Or simply the governments assistance? It happens that I have been brought up to believe that it is proper to make contributions to charity (慈善机构), but if I give some change to a beggar, am I making a cont
