Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the local people of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the local people become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy(經(jīng)濟(jì)). 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(推進(jìn)) the well-being (health and happiness) of local people.
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 country’s 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 lot of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities 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 will 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.
【小題1】What is probably the reason if local people dislike tourists?

A.Tourists come to enjoy the customs and beauty.
B.Local people lose jobs.
C.A lot of hotels are built.
D.Too many tourists cause traffic problems.
【小題2】What can we do to solve the problems caused by tourism?

①public places ②hotels ③airports ④roads ⑤electricity  ⑥sewers  
A.①②③④⑤B.②③④⑤⑥C.①②③⑤⑥D.①③④⑤⑥
【小題5】If the writer wants to add Paragraph 5 to the passage, he may tell us ________.
A.whether people need to build more hotels
B.whether people need to plan tourism properly

If we want to deal with the association(社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.
Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep touch with the other sex(性別) in public instead of in secret.
Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.
Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.
【小題1】We should keep touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT _______.

A.with a good state of mindB.in real friendship
C.in publicD.in secret
【小題2】What does the underlined word “ditch” mean?
A.波浪B.泥潭C.圈套D.迷惑
【小題3】The main idea of the passage is to _______.
A.tell students to keep away from early love
B.tell students how to make friends
C.teach boys how to talk with girls
D.give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls

As is known to all, waste has become a more and more serious problem. We can easily see many people throw a lot of food into the garbage can. Some people spend thousands of yuan buying fashionable clothes. What do you think of them? Here are some of students’ opinions:

Mary
 
As for me, I believe “Waste not, want not.” As we know, there are still millions of Chinese living in a poor condition. We can never afford waste. Therefore, it is no doubt that saving is still a good habit that we should not give up. I do not like the men who spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know waste is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being.
 
Jacky
 
More and more people are no longer interested in the simple life style, including me. And I feel embarrassed to save the things I used. What I love is the latest fashion. In my eyes, saving is already out of style.
 
Sally
 
One of the best ways we students can do in this situation is to recycle the textbooks we are using everyday. After we've used them and are moving on to new ones, we should find ways to recycle these books instead of simply throwing them away. There are different ways to do so such as sending them to a recycling factory, reusing them for other purposes, passing them on to new students and so on.
 
Tim
 
The negative effects of waste can be shown as follows. Firstly, it makes some students ask their parents for money quite often, which is harmful to their development. If they don’t learn to support themselves, they will be “useless people” when they graduate. Secondly, it is not easy for our parents to arrange for our schooling. Last but not the least, just like what Mary said that our country is still poor. There are many people who cannot go to university and many poor people still need our help.

When your school doesn’t have a bus, and you live too far away to walk? How do you go to school?  “Let’s carpool! ”most US middle school students will get that cool idea. Carpooling is a group of people sharing the responsibility(責(zé)任) of driving to school in the morning. There are usually four or five kids in a carpool and their parents take turns driving the kids in their cars.It might be the kids’ first experience with real teamwork. Teamwork is really important in the carpool because nobody wants to make everyone else late. It’s a great lesson in resposibility.

Even if you have to use your car once a week instead of two, that’s one round trip of gas you’re saving. So carpooling helps you save money.

It’s so beautiful outside that spending the day in the office would be very boring. So why not take the vacations(假期)off? A new survey(調(diào)查)found that 31﹪of U.S workers don’t always take all of their vacation days. Americans have 12 vacation days on average(平均)each year, but they give back an average of 3 vacation days each year.
So why don’t they use up their vacation days? Some say they would rather get money back for their unused days; some busy workers say they just can’t leave their work. Americans have fewer vacation days than workers in any other country surveyed.

The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.
Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is-a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.
One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you're more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.
Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person's understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.
Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other's problems.
The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don't try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.
【小題1】What is the passage mainly about?

A.The benefits of learning other languages.
B.The reasons why people come to America.
C.The importance of learning English.
D.How to learn another language.
【小題2】The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order to                
A.discuss the need for teaching a new language
B.introduce the passage's main characters to the readers
C.describe the advantages of moving to another country
D.show the problems of speaking only one language
【小題3】The underlined phrase "multi-language speakers" (Paragraph 5) means "people who know                 ."
A.their mother languageB.a(chǎn) new language
C.more than one languageD.body language
【小題4】According to the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?
A.Not knowing another language.
B.Forgetting one's mother language,
C.Refusing to learn another language
D.Failing to communicate with others.

Below are some suggestions given by the English children posted on the website about how to help Africa. Which do you think is the best?

I think health is the most important thing. We need to make sure that the money we give is spent wisely. The money should be spent first on clean water supplies and better health care.
Robin, aged 16, Birmingham
I think the most important thing is to improve the education of the African countries. There is an old saying,  "If you give a man a fish, you'll feed him for a day. If you teach him how to fish, you'll feed him for a lifetime." We need to help themselves, not just throw money at the problem when it appears.
Rebecca, aged 15, Liverpool
People seem to give a lot more money to charity when there is a sudden, huge disaster(災(zāi)難)like the earthquake. It's good for people to do so, but I also think that everyone should give a small part of their salary(工資)to charity. If everyone did that, it would make a big difference.
Mary, aged 14, Stratford-on-Avon
Giving money to charity can help, but it's not the final answer. I think what these countries need is a good government.
Bethany, aged 16, Newcastle
The best thing we can do is to send experts(專(zhuān)家)like engineers, doctors and teachers to help the people to help themselves.
Robert, aged 16, Cardiff
【小題1】Which two children share the similar opinion?
A.Mary and Rebecca B.Bethany and Mary
