| Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They began to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's 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 country's economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Business can also lose money. It costs a great deal 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 owner 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. |

| A. the author doesn't like tourism developing so fast B. local people will benefit from tourist attraction C. other parts of a country's economy won't benefit from tourism much D. we can't build too many support facilities |

| I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less. One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength making its way by fierce strokes (猛力地划) to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys. "Do you know what you have done?" they said, "It's Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym, he has got his football honor." I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when he was wrapped in a bath towel and so small. He didn't seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word, "My father, who is a great man, is also small." At this he laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed. |

| Is early childhood education really necessary? Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to develop the child's physical, sensory (感觉的), communicational and social development. Early childhood education has become a concern of the government, who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for the kindergarten. There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education. Studies have shown that orphan children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure in school, and even in life. Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school, less likely to end up in Special Education classes, and are less likely to receive public help or go to jail. There are also negative parts of putting a child in formal education programs too early. Time Magazine online explains that the younger the child, the less his chances of catching up with first-grade work. I have personally witnessed many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs became frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school. Yet parents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school, the better off he or she is, so they push to start childhood education earlier. Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early elementary years, studies also show that this head start is really a"false start", as the gains are lost in middle and high school years. It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life's success than early education. Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap in poor and middle school children. Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap. |
| 1. The government valued the early childhood education in order to _____. |
| A. develop the children's communication B. help the children to learn by playing C. get the children prepared for the kindergarten D. train the children formally and regularly |
| 2. What can we know about the studies from the second paragraph? |
| A. Children with good early education may have a rich life. B. The orphan children are usually unhappy in their life. C. Children without early education can do well at school. D. Head Start programs are helpful to the poor children. |
| 3. The explanation of Time Magazine online suggests that _____. |
| A. early childhood education is helpless to the child's grade B. it is good for young children to receive early education C. early education can help children follow the grade D. the younger the children are, the more clever they will be |
| 4. The main idea of the last paragraph is that _____. |
| A. early childhood education is very necessary B. Head Start programs have helped children a lot C. early education is the most important to life's success D. better ways should be found to help the poor children |
| 5. What attitude does the author hold towards early childhood education? |
| A. approving B. opposed C. objective D. subjective |

| On October 19,1959, the first Special English program was broadcast (广播) on the Voice of America. It was an experiment. The goal was to communicate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose native language was not English. Experts said the goal was admirable, but the method would not work. However, _____. The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA. And they still are. Forty years later, Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English.
