If tourists create too much traffic，the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy．They begin 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 cansuffer．On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism，people can lose jobs．Businesses can also lose money．It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels，airports，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 other support facilities as well，including roads to get to the hotel，electricity，sewers(下水道)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.44．Which of the following do you think might have been discussed in the part before this selection?A.

Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them．It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading．Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible.”Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes．They differ in kind and function．The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make itpossible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read．Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language．Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny．If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions．“Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are，and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.58．The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ________.A. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB．students spend endless hours in readingC．reading tasks are assigned with guidanceD. too much time is spent in teaching about reading59．The teaching of reading will be successful if teachers can ________.A. improve conditions at school for the studentsB．enable students to develop their own way of readingC．devise the most efficient system for readingD．make their teaching activities observable60．The underlined word “scrutiny” most probably means ________.A．inquiry B．observation C．control D．suspicion 61．According to the passage learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ________.A．children become highly motivatedB．teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD．reading enriches children’s experience62．The main idea of the passage is ________.A．teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB．teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC．reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD．reading is more complicated than generally believedⅣ．短文改错Dear John，I’m so grateful that you’re coming to s ee my father in 63._____10：OO a.m on Sunday．Here is why you can find the People’s Hospital．64._____ After your coming to the Da Zhong Square，you can 65._____walk northwards till you get to the gate of East Park.
