Where should an adventurous tourist go? After you've done si ghtseeing in London, done shopping in New York, tasted the l ocal food in Paris, and danced to your heart's content at the B
razilian Carnival, where else can you go? What exotic(异国的) tourist destination awaits you?
Well, Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime! It's consi dered the last great wilderness on the earth. Just a few scienti sts in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can cope with the low temperatures. Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still on a sm all scale. About 37，
000 tourists are expected there this season, but many won't e ven leave the boat.
The BBC's Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked h erself if she should be there at all, causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave a footprint and they all go to the same places , the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins a nd seals go to breed.
But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism ca n be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it ne eds advocates. Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation. And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming, which has le d to the melting of glaciers.
According to Rix, guidelines are followed when you're about t
o set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect(消
毒) their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced. And once on land, there's no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragments—
nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be l eft behind. Tourists fortunate enough to visit the Antarctica m ust be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed so that future generations will also be able to enjoy s uch breathtaking views.
21．According to the second paragraph, we can learn that __ ______.
A．Antarctica has become the best place for people to travel B．only scientists can be allowed to go to Antarctica C．Antarctica is less affected by human activities
D．no animals can survive in Antarctica except penguins 22．Juliet Rix's travel in Antarctica mentioned in the fourth pa ragraph indicates that ________．
A．governments should take measures to stop tourists from g oing to Antarctica
B．whether tourists should go to Antarctica or not should be c onsidered carefully
C．the animals' habitat in Antarctica has been seriously affect
ed by tourism
D．only journalists begin to pay attention to the environmenta l protection in Antarctica
23．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Rix?
A．Tourists can eat and smoke in Antarctica.
B．Tourists can take something they like from Antarctica. C．Tourists can throw away something they don't need in Ant arctica.
D．Tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery in Antarctica. 24．Which of the following is the best title of this passage? A．Why can't tourists go to Antarctica?
B．How can tourists go to Antarctica?
C．Should tourists go to Antarctica?
D．Are tourists allowed to go to Antarctica?

He al so records the sounds he hears and takes photos of the sky a nd the earth's surface.

In our life, we often regret what we did and which we couldn't do. Actually, it doesn't benefit us at all. As for most of us, we missed many chance to earn more money, to get a high positi on and to realize our dreams. We often regret that we don't se ize those opportunities, thus feel upset. Although we do know regretting the past is no benefit，
but we still can't help doing it.
To avoid the problem below, we need to pay more attention to what you are doing now, making us busier and having no tim e to recall the past. Moreover, we'd better set reasonably goal s one by one. Only by doing so can we struggle for our future better.
