ScriptMany Americans buy an evergreen tree for Christmas. They put the tree in their home and hang small lights and colorful objects on it. The evergreenis usually a pine or a fir tree. It remains green during the cold, dark monthsof winter in the northern part of the world. So it is a symbol of everlasting life.The Christmas tree may have developed in part from a popular play performed hundreds of years ago in what is now Germany. Traditionally, the play was held on December 24th, the day before Christmas. The play was about the first people that God created—Adam and Eve. People put apples on an evergreen tree to represent the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden.By the year 1600, some Germans began bringing evergreen trees into their homes. They put fruit, nuts and sweets on the trees. They shared the food among family members and friends after the holiday season.Some people say the German religious reformer Martin Luther was the first person to add lighted candles to an evergreen tree. They say he did thisto show how wonderful the stars had appeared to him as he traveled one night.In the early 1800s, German settlers in the state of Pennsylvania were the first to celebrate the holiday with Christmas trees in the United States.The Christmas tree tradition spread to many parts of the world. Today, some form of Christmas tree is part of most Christmas celebrations. Some people put a star on top of their Christmas tree. It represents the star that led the three wise men to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem.ScriptIn 16th century France, the start of the New Year was observed on April first. It was celebrated in much the same way as it is today with parties and dancing balls into the late hours of the night. Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar for the Christian world, and the New Year fell on January first. There were some people, however, who hadn't heard or didn't believe the change in the date, so they continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April first. Others played tricks on them and called them "April fools". They sent them to do something foolish or tried to make them believe that something false was true. French children fooled their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends' backs. When the "young fool" discovers this trick, the person who played the trick yells "April fish!"Today Americans play small tricks on friends and strangers alike on the first of April. One common trick on April Fool's Day is pointing down to a friend's shoe and saying, "Your shoelace is untied." Teachers in the 19th century used to say to pupils, "Look! A flock of geese!" and point up. School children might tell a classmate that school had been canceled. Whatever the trick, if the innocent victim falls for the joke, people yell, "April fools!"Most April fools jokes are in good fun and not meant to harm anyone. The cleverest April fools joke is the one where everyone laughs, especially the person upon whom the joke is played..。

The business has been in the family for generations and generations. Over time, with the countless clients that had gone in and out of the office, the marble step in front of the building had developed a big, deep dip in it from all the wear and tear.The accountant’s friends kept telling him that he had better get it replaced; otherwise he’d be sued if anyone ever slipped and fell.Reluctantly, the accountant called a stonemason to get a quote for the repairs. When the stonemason got there, the accountant demanded a price for a new step.“Ah, big job,” said the e stonemason, “But I suppose I could give you a new step for a hundred pounds.” The accountant was stunned. “Are you crazy, man? I can’t pay you a hundred pounds!” Thinking about it for a second, he turned to the stonemason and asked, “What would you charge me to dig up the step and turn it over so that the worn part is in the ground and I’d get a new square step?” The stonemason hesitated, “20pounds.”“Do it!” Demanded the accountant, “And call me when you’re done.”The accountant went back inside to read his books, but after only 15minutes the stonemason rang the bell. As the accountant opened the door, he saw the stonemason standing there, pointing to a deep dip in the step.

You will be “planning your business tree” there and will have to maintain it for years to come. You have to keep in mind a few things when deciding on a place t open your business.First of all, you have to take the local economy into consideration. Is your local area growing and building? Are the market trends good? Even if you have to locate your business farther from your home, try to find a place that is building up and bringing people in. The worst thing you can do is to pick a place that is in the “bad area of town” because it is less expensive. Your address can be the first thing people will ask for, and it can say a lot about your business.The second thing you have to bear in mind is the job market. Since unemployment is low in most area in the Unites States, consider what type of employees you will need and find out if there are many in your area. The amount of money that you will have t o spend I the recruiting phase could be an indicator that you should or should not locate the business in an area with a different employee pool.Another factor people have to consider is whether you can integrate with the local community and get to love it. To make the community warm to you, you should become involved in it by joining the local Chamber of Commerce, Business Association, City Council Committees, or other local organization that could offer you help. Why plan on retiring “one day”to some great location? Why not move there now and start your dream business?What is the speaker mainly talking about?What must you find if you are going to locate a business at a distance from your home?According to the speaker, what is the worst thing you can do?What will the recruiting money tell you?What can you do the get on well with the locate people?Kes: 1D 2.C3.

We need to plan our proposal for this Friday’s business meeting.Dick: Sure. I’ve summarized the results in the handouts, broken down by customer age groups and sporting activities. The survey was administered to 550 men and women between the age of 18 and 55 years old, and the results have been compiled in the following age groups: 18to 26, 27to 35,36to 45, and 46to 55. According to the results, the most active group involved in sporting activities is between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those 36to 45 years old.Martin: Okay.Dick: As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.Martin: And what about these groups broken down by gender?Dick: Oh, Martin, thanks for bringing that up. Men appears to be slightly more active than women in the 18 to 26 year-old age group, but women seem more active in the other three groupsMartin: Hmm. Based on what you have said, I think we should consider targeting the 18 to 26 year-old age group more in the future. I also feel we should consider expanding our line of athletic shoes, particularly jogging shoes and tennis footwear. We also have to come up with a more appealing slogan aimed at this age group.Dick: I see what you mean. However, the 46 to 55 age group is becoming more concerned about staying fit. I believe this trend will continue, so we should not neglect them.Martin: I see your point. Well, let’s meet again on Wednesday to iron out more details of this proposal.Discussion SAMPLEA: How many people do you think we have to survey before we can have a clear idea about the sales potential for each product?B: I think our survey must be administered to at least 300 men and women of various ages, incomes and occupations. Otherwise the results won’t be reliable.A: Perhaps we can use our common sense to predict the results.B: Obviously, young people pay more attention to their clothes than older people, and they tend to buy more.A: It’s clear that women are more active in buying dresses. Our production should target women.B: What do you think about the various income groups? Do you think we should aim mainly at the high income group?A: It’s hard to say. Some rich people are very careful with their money. So, we have to wait until the investigation results come out.B: Now let’s switch to sports shoes. Which group do you think may be active?A: I guess the young people may buy the most because many of them like sports a great deal.B: I think this group will be followed by the old group instead of the middle-aged group. The old people are becoming more concerned about staying fit.A: I agree. And I believe this trend will continue, so we shouldn’t neglect them.B: What may be the result broken down by gender?A: Many people think men are more active than women, but I’m not quite sure.B: Ok, let’s carry out our survey as early as possible and let facts speak for themselves.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Hot Business IdeasScriptBusiness ideas are all around you. Many business ideas come from a careful analysis of market and consumer needs. If you are interested in starting a business, but don’t know what product or service you might sell, here are some ways that may help you find one.First of all, you should study how to value to an existing product. The difference raw wood and finished wooden products is a good example of putting a product through an additional process that increases its value.But additional processes are not the only way value can be added. You might also add services, or combine one product with other products. For instance, a local farm which sells produce can also offer a vegetable delivery service—for a free.What business ideas can you develop along these lines? Focus on what products you might buy, and what you might do to them or with them to create a profitable business.Some people have another way of making profit. They improve an existing products or service. We all know that the person who can build a better mousetrap will make a lot of money. That person could be you! A local entrepreneur has created an improved version of the hula hoop. It’s bigger and heavier, so hula-hoopers can control it more easily and do more tricks. How did she come up with this business idea? She thought hula hooping would be a fun thing to do with her daughter, but found the commercially available product too flimsy.There are very few products or services that can’t be improved. Start generating business ideas by looking at the products and services you use and brainstorming ideas as to how they could be better.What is the first way the speaker mentions that helps you produce a business idea?Which of the following methods does the speaker NOT mention?Why does the speaker mention the mousetrap?Which of the following is true according to the passage?Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.DTask 2: What do you know about business?ScriptHistorically, the term business referred to activities or interests. By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synonymous with “an individual commercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear interchangeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishing business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fishing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” may serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”. People establish business in order to perform economic activities. With some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other words, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generating a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of their main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways. In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intangible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds than manufacturers. Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of commercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types include partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability companies, and sole ownerships.Task3: An office boy or a billionaire?A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy”at Microsoft. The human resource manger interviewed him, and gave him a test: clean the floor.“You are engaged,” he said, “give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application form to fill and tell you when you will start.” The man replied, “I don’t have a computer or an email.”“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager, “if you don’t have an email, that means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have the job!”The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only 10 dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a crate of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes in a door-to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 dollars. The man realizes that he could survive this way, and started to go out early and returned late every day.Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. A little later, he bought a cart, then a trunk, then he has his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers in the United States. He started to plan his family’ future, and decided to buy life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. Before the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him for his email address. The man replied,” I have no email.”The broker replied,” You don’t have an email, and yet have succeeded in building an empire! Can you imagine what you could have been you had an email.”The man replied, “ An office boy at Microsoft!”For Reference“If you don’t have an email that means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have the job!”He sold the tomatoes in a door-to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 dollars.He bought a cart, then a trunk, then he has his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers in the United States.He started to plan his family’ future, and decided to buy life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan.He thought that with an email , he would have become an office boy at Microsoft.News ReportA Historic Settlement between the Law and Business ScriptBill Gates, Microsoft Chairman:We hope that when the state attorney general fully reviewed the settlement, they will also agree that it’s the right way forward. Litigation is never a good thing for any industry or any company. We have said for some time that we would go the extra mile to resolve this case. That is exactly what we did in reaching this settlement.The experience of the past the three years hs had a profound impact on me personally and on our company. We are in a fast-moving, competitive industry, but we will focus more on how our actions affect other companies. John Ashcroft, U.S Attorney General:Today we are announcing a strong, historical settlement reached by the Department of Justice and the Microsoft Corporation that will put an end to Microsoft’s unlawful conduct, bring effective relief to the marketplace, and ensure that consumers will have more choices in meeting their needs of computing and working with their computers. This settlement is the right result for consumers and for businesses, the right result for the economy, and the right result for government. It provides prompt, effective, certain relief for consumers and removes the uncertainty in the computer market, a critical factor in today’s economy.。

We need to plan our proposal for this Friday’s business meeting.Dick: Sure. I’ve summarized the results in the handouts, broken down by customer age groups and sporting activities. The survey was administered to 550 men and women between the age of 18 and 55 years old, and the results have been compiled in the following age groups: 18to 26, 27to 35,36to 45, and 46to 55. According to the results, the most active group involved in sporting activities is between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those 36to 45 years old.Martin: Okay.Dick: As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.Martin: And what about these groups broken down by gender?Dick: Oh, Martin, thanks for bringing that up. Men appears to be slightly more active than women in the 18 to 26 year-old age group, but women seem more active in the other three groupsMartin: Hmm. Based on what you have said, I think we should consider targeting the 18 to 26 year-old age group more in the future. I also feel we should consider expanding our line of athletic shoes, particularly jogging shoes and tennis footwear. We also have to come up with a more appealing slogan aimed at this age group.Dick: I see what you mean. However, the 46 to 55 age group is becoming more concerned about staying fit.

Our production should target women.B: What do you think about the various income groups? Do you think we should aim mainly at the high income group?A: It’s hard to say.

Which group do you think may be active?A: I guess the young people may buy the most because many of them like sports a great deal.B: I think this group will be followed by the old group instead of the middle-aged group. The old people are becoming more concerned about staying fit.A: I agree. And I believe this trend will continue, so we shouldn’t neglect them.B: What may be the result broken down by gender?A: Many people think men are more active than women, but I’m not quite sure.B: Ok, let’s carry out our survey as early as possible and let facts speak for themselves.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Hot Business IdeasScriptBusiness ideas are all around you. Many business ideas come from a careful analysis of market and consumer needs. If you are interested in starting a business, but don’t know what product or service you might sell, here are some ways that may help you find one.First of all, you should study how to value to an existing product. The difference raw wood and finished wooden products is a good example of putting a product through an additional process that increases its value.But additional processes are not the only way value can be added. You might also add services, or combine one product with other products. For instance, a local farm which sells produce can also offer a vegetable delivery service—for a free.What business ideas can you develop along these lines? Focus on what products you might buy, and what you might do to them or with them to create a profitable business.Some people have another way of making profit. They improve an existing products or service. We all know that the person who can build a better mousetrap will make a lot of money. That person could be you! A local entrepreneur has created an improved version of the hula hoop. It’s bigger and heavier, so hula-hoopers can control it more easily and do more tricks. How did she come up with this business idea? She thought hula hooping would be a fun thing to do with her daughter, but found the commercially available product too flimsy.There are very few products or services that can’t be improved. Start generating business ideas by looking at the products and services you use and brainstorming ideas as to how they could be better.What is the first way the speaker mentions that helps you produce a business idea?Which of the following methods does the speaker NOT mention?Why does the speaker mention the mousetrap?Which of the following is true according to the passage?Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.DTask 2: What do you know about business?ScriptHistorically, the term business referred to activities or interests. By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synonymous with “an individual commercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear interchangeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishing business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fishing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” may serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”. People establish business in order to perform economic activities. With some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other words, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generating a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of their main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways. In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intangible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds than manufacturers. Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of commercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types include partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability companies, and sole ownerships.Task3: An office boy or a billionaire?A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy”at Microsoft. The human resource manger interviewed him, and gave him a test: clean the floor.“You are engaged,” he said, “give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application form to fill and tell you when you will start.” The man replied, “I don’t have a computer or an email.”“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager, “if you don’t have an email, that means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have the job!”The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only 10 dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a crate of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes in a door-to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 dollars. The man realizes that he could survive this way, and started to go out early and returned late every day.Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. A little later, he bought a cart, then a trunk, then he has his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers in the United States. He started to plan his family’ future, and decided to buy life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. Before the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him for his email address. The man replied,” I have no email.”The broker replied,” You don’t have an email, and yet have succeeded in building an empire! Can you imagine what you could have been you had an email.”The man replied, “ An office boy at Microsoft!”For Reference“If you don’t have an email that means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have the job!”He sold the tomatoes in a door-to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital.

He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan.He thought that with an email , he would have become an office boy at Microsoft.News ReportA Historic Settlement between the Law and Business ScriptBill Gates, Microsoft Chairman:We hope that when the state attorney general fully reviewed the settlement, they will also agree that it’s the right way forward. Litigation is never a good thing for any industry or any company. We have said for some time that we would go the extra mile to resolve this case. That is exactly what we did in reaching this settlement.The experience of the past the three years hs had a profound impact on me personally and on our company. We are in a fast-moving, competitive industry, but we will focus more on how our actions affect other companies. John Ashcroft, U.S Attorney General:Today we are announcing a strong, historical settlement reached by the Department of Justice and the Microsoft Corporation that will put an end to Microsoft’s unlawful conduct, bring effective relief to the marketplace, and ensure that consumers will have more choices in meeting their needs of computing and working with their computers. This settlement is the right result for consumers and for businesses, the right result for the economy, and the right result for government. It provides prompt, effective, certain relief for consumers and removes the uncertainty in the computer market, a critical factor in today’s economy.。

The business has been in the family for generations and generations. Over time, with the countless clients that had gone in and out of the office, the marble step in front of the building had developed a big, deep dip in it from all the wear and tear.The accountant’s friends kept telling him that he had better get it replaced; otherwise he’d be sued if anyone ever slipped and fell.Reluctantly, the accountant called a stonemason to get a quote for the repairs. When the stonemason got there, the accountant demanded a price for a new step.“Ah, big job,” said the e stonemason, “But I suppose I could give you a new step for a hundred pounds.” The accountant was stunned. “Are you crazy, man? I can’t pay you a hundred pounds!” Thinking about it for a second, he turned to the stonemason and asked, “What would you charge me to dig up the step and turn it over so that the worn part is in the ground and I’d get a new square step?”The stonemason hesitated, “20pounds.”“Do it!” Demanded the accountant, “And call me when you’re done.”The accountant went back inside to read his books, but after only 15minutes the stonemason rang the bell. As the accountant opened the door, he saw the stonemason standing there, pointing to a deep dip in the step. The stonemason laughed as he said, “Your great-great granddaddy thought of that a hundred and fifty years ago!”Keys: FTFFTFor Reference1.countless clients that had gone in and out of the office2.He turn the step over so that the worn part was in the groundTask3: Where to Start Your BusinessScriptYou have to consider the location when launching a business. You will be “planning your business tree” there and will have to maintain it for years to come. You have to keep in mind a few things when deciding on a place t open your business.First of all, you have to take the local economy into consideration. Is your local area growing and building? Are the market trends good? Even if you have to locate your business farther from your home, try to find a place that is building up and bringingpeople in. The worst thing you can do is to pick a place that is in the “bad area of town” because it is less expensive. Your address can be the first thing people will ask for, and it can say a lot about your business.The second thing you have to bear in mind is the job market. Since unemployment is low in most area in the Unites States, consider what type of employees you will need and find out if there are many in your area. The amount of money that you will have t o spend I the recruiting phase could be an indicator that you should or should not locate the business in an area with a different employee pool.Another factor people have to consider is whether you can integrate with the local community and get to love it. To make the community warm to you, you should become involved in it by joining the local Chamber of Commerce, Business Association, City Council Committees, or other local organization that could offer you help. Why plan on retiring “one day” to some great location? Why not move there now and start your dream business?1.What is the speaker mainly talking about?2.What must you find if you are going to locate a business at a distance from yourhome?3.According to the speaker, what is the worst thing you can do?4.What will the recruiting money tell you?5.What can you do the get on well with the locate people?Kes: 1D 2.C3.

In other words, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generating a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of their main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways.In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intangible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds than manufacturers.Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of commercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types include partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability companies, and sole ownerships.Task3: An office boy or a billionaire?A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy”at Microsoft. The human resource manger interviewed him, and gave him a test: clean the floor.“You are engaged,”he said, “give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application form to fill and tell you when you will start.” The man replied, “I don’t have a computer or an email.”“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager, “if you don’t have an email, that means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have the job!”The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only 10 dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a crate of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes in a door-to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 dollars. The man realizes that he could survive this way, and started to go out early and returned late every day.Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. A little later, he bought a cart, then a trunk, then he has his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers in the United States. He started to plan his family’ future, and decided to buy life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. Before the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him for his email address. The man replied,” I have no email.”The broker replied,” You don’t have an email, and yet have succeeded in building an empire! Can you imagine what you could have been you had an email.”The man replied, “ An office boy at Microsoft!”For Reference1.“If you don’t have an email that means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’texist can’t have the job!”2.He sold the tomatoes in a door-to door round. In less than two hours, hesucceeded in doubling his capital.

Litigation is never a good thing for any industry or any company. We have said for some time that we would go the extra mile to resolve this case. That is exactly what we did in reaching this settlement.The experience of the past the three years hs had a profound impact on me personally and on our company. We are in a fast-moving, competitive industry, but we will focus more on how our actions affect other companies.John Ashcroft, U.S Attorney General:Today we are announcing a strong, historical settlement reached by the Department of Justice and the Microsoft Corporation that will put an end to Microsoft’s unlawful conduct, bring effective relief to the marketplace, and ensure that consumers will have more choices in meeting their needs of computing and working with their computers. This settlement is the right result for consumers and for businesses, the right result for the economy, and the right result for government. It provides prompt, effective, certain relief for consumers and removes the uncertainty in the computer market, a critical factor in today’s economy.。

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Questions 1 to 10 are based on the following passage.Video GamingAs video gaming spreads, the discussion about its social impact is intensifying. Is it a new medium equivalent to film and music, a valuable educational tool, a form of harmless fun or something terrible that makes children violent and stupid? Video gaming is all these things, depending on whom you ask.Amid all the arguments, however, three important factors are generally overlooked: that attitudes to gaming are marked by a generational divide; that there is no convincing evidence that games make people violent; and that games have great potential in education.Attitudes towards gamingAttitudes towards gaming depend to a great extent on age. In America, for example, half of the population plays computer or video games. However most players are under 40—according to Nielsen, a market-research firm, 76% of them—while most critics of gaming are over 40. An entire generation that began gaming as children has kept playing. The average age of American gamers is 30. Most are "computer natives" who grew up with technology, argues Marc Prensky of Games2train, a firm that promotes the educational use of games. He describes older people as "computer immigrants" who, like newcomers anywhere, have had to adapt invarious ways to their new technological world. Just getting by in a foreign land without some grasp of the local language is difficult, says Mr. Prensky. Computer immigrants have had to learn to use technologies such as the Internet and mobile phones. But relatively few of them have embraced video games. The word "game" itself also confuses matters, since it makes them seem like playthings. "What they don't understand, because they've never played them, is that these are complex games, which take 30, 40 or 100 hours to complete," says Mr. Prensky. Games are, in fact, played mainly by young adults. Only a third of gamers are under 18."It's just a generational divide," says Gerhard Florin, the European boss of Electronic Arts, the world's biggest games publisher. "People do not know what they are talking about, because they have never played a game. And yet, they say that millions of gamers are stupid or violent." Computer natives who have played video games since childhood already regard them as a form of entertainment equivalent to films and music. Older computer natives now have children of their own and enjoy playing video games with them.The gaming industry is trying to address the generational divide. It is producing games designed to appeal to people who have never played games and encouraging gamers (who may occasionally play simple web-based games, or games on mobile phones) to play more. This has led to the development of games with a wider appeal. Some of them replace the usual control pad with novel input devices: microphones (麦克风) for singing games, cameras for dancing and action games, and even musical instruments. In addition, the industry has started to attract more women, who seem to prefer social simulation (模拟) games such as "The Sims", and older people, who (if they play games at all) often prefer versions of card games and board games. Other promising areas include portable (便携式的) gaming, mobile gaming and online downloads of simple games. Many people enjoy gaming, but do not necessarily want to commit themselves to a long quest that will take dozens of hours to complete.May gaming make people violent?But aren't critics right to worry that gaming might make people violent? In his paper, Mr. Williams describes his study carried out with Marko Skoric of the University of Michigan. The study concentrated on a "massively multiplayer (多人参与的) onlinerole-playing game" (MMORPG) called "Asheron Call 2". This type ofgame requires the player to wander around a fantasy world and kill monsters to build up attribute points. It is "virtually more violent than the average video game and should have more effect, given the highly repetitive nature of the violence", the researchers noted.Two groups of subjects were recruited, none of whom had played MMORPGs before and many of whom had never played video games at all. One group then played the game for a month, for an average of nearly two hours per day. The other group acted as a control. All people who participated were asked questions about how often they had aggressive social interactions (such as arguments with their spouses) during the course of the month to test the idea that gaming makes people more aggressive. Game players, it turned out, were no more aggressive than the control group. Whether the test subjects had played games before, the number of hours spent gaming, and whether they liked violent movies or not, made no difference. The researchers noted, however, that more research is still needed to assess the impact of other types of games. All games are different, and only when more detailed studies have been carried out will it be possible to say anything about the impact of gaming.Games have great potential in education.What's more, plenty of games, far from encouraging violence, are morally complex, subtle and, very possibly, improving. Many now explicitly require players to choose whether to be good or evil, and their choices determine how the game they are playing develops. Several games based on the "Star Wars" movies require players to choose between the light and dark sides of the Force, equivalent to good and evil.Even games with no educational purpose require players to learn a great deal. Games are complex and force players to make a huge number of decisions. Gamers must construct ideas about thein-game world, learn its rules through trial and error (错误) , solve problems and puzzles, develop strategies and get help from other players through the Internet when they get stuck.Games can be used in many other ways. Tim Rylands, a British teacher in a primary school near Bristol, recently won an award from Becta, a government education agency, for using computer games in the classroom. By projecting the fantasy world of "Myst", arole-playing game, on to a large screen and encouraging his11-year-old pupils to write descriptions and reactions as he plays it,he has achieved striking improvements in their English test scores.So games are inherently good, not bad? Actually they are neither, like books, films, the Internet, or any other medium. All can be used to depict sex and violence, or to educate and inform. Indeed, that there is violence and sex in games is arguably a sign of the maturity of the medium, as games become more like films.1.Video games are valuable or stupid depending on________________.A. what is overlookedB. whom is askedC. whether they are violentD. whether they are educational2.No evidence exists to show that video games________________.A. are overlookedB. make people violentC. have great potentialD. are violent3."Computer immigrants" are older people who have had to________________.A. get by in a foreign landB. play complex gamesC. adjust to the new technologyD. grow up with technology4.What do we learn about "computer natives"?________________A.

It is trying to persuade older people to play singing games.C. It is producing games that will take dozens of hours tocomplete.D.

You may not use any of the words more than once.Questions 1 to 10 are based on the following passage.My husband is in the hospital with cancer and has beenseriously ill for a month. He was always 1.but he has lost a lot of weight. I find myself 2.skin hangs 3.unaware. A machine next to the bed records his slow 4.5.—a finger movement, anything—but there is never any change.

Heis a man with 10.calendar to remember a friend or relative's birthday or our anniversary.It is my duty to show how proud I am to have been a part of this great man's life.Part 4 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)(每小题:分)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.You must face the fact that in your inmost heart you hate the thought of moving. It is easiest not to leave the rooms where your children passed through their wonderful childhood and annoying teens to a friendly but slightly distant maturity.Until, suddenly one day, the distance is absolute and they are grown up and gone. Then you find yourself living in too large a house, which consumes in its maintenance too much energy and money. When we found ourselves in this situation a few years ago, we determined to move while we still had the strength and before the emotional ties that the old house had wrapped around us became too powerful to be broken. Move while you can! But be sure you really want to, and do not move too often. It is an exhausting process.Your first task is to find a house that will suit you. It must be smaller, quieter, easier to run, and more conveniently placed for transport. Not so small, though, that it will not have room for your largest pieces of furniture, and located not too far from the neighborhood where so many friendships have been built up.At last we found one: a late Victorian cottage, in a street where the houses, all small, range from late 18th to mid 20th century. It was near enough to where we wanted to live. It had no basement (底下层), which was a great convenience for aging legs; there were only two floors: one for ourselves and one where friends, children, and grandchildren could spread themselves when they came to stay. Each floor had two rooms. There was a kitchen on the ground floor, with the bathroom above it.1.The passage concerns ________.A. buying a house for a newly married coupleB. buying a large house for a growing familyC. buying a better house when people have more money tospendD. buying a smaller house for older people whose childrenhave left home2.The passage implies that grown-up children are _______.A. more friendly to their parents when they are grown upB. distant from their parentsC. friendly but not very closeD. annoying3.The author decided to move ________.A. when his house gave him too much work and cost too muchto runB. when he grew tired of his houseC. when he suddenly got the strength to do soD. before the house collapsed4.The author advises people in his own situation ________.A. to move into a very small houseB. to move somewhere where the largest possible pieces offurniture will fitC. not to move too far from the main roadD. to choose somewhere not so noisy5.According to the passage, the new house had _________.A. two floorsB. three floorsC. four floorsD. two bathroomsQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. Equipment operator Dick Kemp is the proud owner of over 90 old trucks. Some of his vehicles date back as far as 1916, just twenty years after the first motorized truck was ever built and a time when there were only 160,000 trucks in the United States-compared with the 36,000,000 trucks that roar along the nation's highways nowadays. One of Kemp's most unusual trucks is a 1916 Selden with wooden spikes which was once used as a street sprinkler. Kemp began his collection in 1952 with a 1930 Bulldog Mack which he bought for only $50. This same vehicle was valued in the year 2006 at nearly a thousand times that price. Every year thousands of visitors come from all over the U.S. and Canada to see Kemp's collection, which is exhibited in a large garage and in a yardnext-door. The Mack Truck Museum is open for public viewing and there is no charge. There is even a model truck playground for children to play in while their parents look at the real things.Kemp does his own restoration work, making all the trucks look shiny and run smoothly. Many truck parts he has to make for himself because manufacturers have discontinued production long, long ago. He has received countless offers to sell his trucks, but his answer is always the same: "Nothing for Sale".6.The passage says that Dick Kemp's job is ________.A. museum workerB. equipment operatorC. truck driverD. truck manufacturer7.In which year was Kemp's unusual Selden truck made?A. 1952.B. 1916.C. 1930.D. 2006.8.Where does Kemp show his trucks?A. In and near a garage.B. Around the US and Canada.C. On the nation's highways.D. In a museum next to his home.9.________ might be appropriate for children.A. The Mack Truck MuseumB.

The business has been in the fa mily for generations and generations. Over time, with the countless c lients that had gone in and out of the office, the marble step in fro nt of the building had developed a big, deep dip in it from all the w ear and tear.The accountant’s friends kept telling him that he had better get it replaced; otherwise he’d be sued if anyone ever slipped and fell. Reluctantly, the accountant called a stonemason to get a quote for th e repairs. When the stonemason got there, the accountant demanded a p rice for a new step.“Ah, big job,” said the e stonemason, “But I suppose I could give you a new step for a hundred pounds.” The accountant was stunned. “Are you crazy, man? I can’t pay you a hundred pounds!” Thinking abou t it for a second, he turned to the stonemason and asked, “What woul d you charge me to dig up the step and turn it over so that the worn part is in the ground and I’d get a new square step?” The stonemaso n hesitated, “20pounds.”“Do it!” Demanded the accountant, “And call me when you’re done.”The accountant went back inside to read his books, but after only 15m inutes the stonemason rang the bell. As the accountant opened the doo r, he saw the stonemason standing there, pointing to a deep dip in th e step. The stonemason laughed as he said, “Your great-great grandda ddy thought of that a hundred and fifty years ago!”Keys: FTFFTFor Reference3. countless clients that had gone in and out of the office4. He turn the step over so that the worn part was in the groundTask3: Where to Start Your BusinessYou have to consider the location when launching a business. You will be “planning your business tree” there and will have to maintain i t for years to come. You have to keep in mind a few things when decid ing on a place t open your business. First of all, you have to take the local economy into consideration. Is your local area growing and building? Are the market trends good? Even if you have to locate your business farther from your home, try to find a place that is building up and bringing people in. The worst thing you can do is to pick a place that is in the “bad area of tow n” because it is less expensive. Your address can be the first thing people will ask for, and it can say a lot about your business.The second thing you have to bear in mind is the job market. Since un employment is low in most area in the Unites States, consider what ty pe of employees you will need and find out if there are many in your area. The amount of money that youwill have t o spend I the recruiti ng phase could be an indicator that you should or should not locate t he business in an area with a different employee pool.Another factor people have to consider is whether you can integrate w ith the local community and get to love it. To make the community war m to you, you should become involved in it by joining the local Chamb er of Commerce, Business Association, City Council Committees, or oth er local organization that could offer you help. Why plan on retiring “one day” to some great location? Why not move there now and start your dream business?21. What is the speaker mainly talking about?22. What must you find if you are going to locate a business at adistance from your home?23. According to the speaker, what is the worst thing you can do?24. What will the recruiting money tell you?25. What can you do the get on well with the locate people?Kes: 1D 2.C3. C 4.A 5.CFor ReferenceTo decide on a good business location, one has to consider the local economy, the job market there, and whether you can integrate wit the local community.IV. Speaking OutMODEL 1 I am having cash problems.Bill: Helen, you started this company only a year ago. If you want i t to grow, I’m afraid you need to do something about cash flow. Helen: Bill, although you’ve worked here only for a couple of month s, you already know this company inside out. I am having cashproblems.Bill: Clearly you don’t have the money you need to buy the equipme nt to be competitive. You have just barely enough funds to cover your day-to-day operational expenses.Helen: I think my best bet is to secure a small-business loan.Bill: I don’t think that’s possible. It seems to me you don’t h ave the collared for a loan.Helen: What can I do then?Bill: Try the Small Business Association. They help underwrite loa ns for a small business.Helen: So, even though I don’t have much collateral, I can still qu ality for a loan?Bill: Under this special program, possibly.Helen:That would really help me cover our overhead. I just need to get some time to get the revenues up.Bill: Apply for the small-business loan, and keep your fingers cro ssed!Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: You’ve worked as a consultant for a long time, so you know the co mpany inside out. I’m having cash problems.B: I see. If you want the company to grow, I’m afraid you need to ha ve more funds. Clearly you don’t have the money you need to buy t he equipment to be competitive. You just barely have enough funds to cover your day-to-day operating expenses.A: I think my best bet is to ask the bank loan.B: I don’t think that’s the best solution. Nowadays the interest ra tes are very high. You’ll have a difficult time paying back the l oan.A: What can I do then?B: Try a business incubator.A: What can I get from them?B: They offer a range of services such as consultancy, training, and more importantly, venture capital.A: Can I really get venture capital from them?B: Possibly, if you prove your company is promising.A: Good, that would really help me cover our overhead. I just need so me time to get revenues up.B: Well, apply for a risk investment, and keep your fingers crossed MODEL2 I have some very bad news.Helen: Bill, I’ve been searching for a loan, but I was rejected ever ywhere. Now I’m afraid I have some very bad news.Bill: What is it?Helen: Well, the company has been experiencing serious financial diff iculties for quite a long time now.Bill: I know we’ve been operating in the red for the past few mont hs.Helen: Exactly. After a long discussion with my partners, I’ve come to the conclusion that the best course of action is to file fo r bankruptcyBill: What? Bankruptcy? I didn’t know you were in this kind of ser ious financial trouble.Helen: Sales have been low all year long. Now two of our leading comp etitors are discussing a merger. Then we’ll have to face even stiffer competition. I feel the situation is going to go frombad to worse. We simply can’t afford to keep our doors open for long.Bill: When do you plan to make the announcement to tell all the emp loyees?Helen: Early next week.Bill: What kinds of severance package will we able to offer them? Helen: Unfortunately, the best we can do is offer one month’s salar y.Bill: Oh! How terrible! OK, I’ll contact Vivitek and see if they are interested in acquiring our company.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: I have some very bad news.B: What’s that?A: The company’s products haven’t sold well for a long time, you kn ow.B: Yeah. I know we’ve been operating a t a loss for several months.A: Exactly. And after a long discussion with my partner, I’ve come t o the conclusion that the best course of action is to file for ban kruptcy.B: What? Bankruptcy? I’d suggest that you find a merger partner ins tead. With combined strength, we can face the stiff market competit ion.A: Our sales have been low a long time. Who will be willing to merger with us?B: You can tell them we have a team of well-trained skilled workers a nd our equipment is not technologically backward.

I still prefer to decl are bankruptcy.B: When do you plan to make it known to the staff?A: Sometimes next month.B: What kind of severance package are you going to offer them?A: Unfortunately, the best we can do is offer one month’s salary. B: That’s terrible.MODEL3 We’ve been looking for a merger partner.Bill: I hear that Vivitek has been considering acquiring a CD manu facturer for some time.Jessica: That’s quite true. What’s on your mind?Bill: My boss Helen thinks that our company would be a good match for Vivitek. And we’ve been looking for a merger partner. Jessica: Are you sure youroperation has much to bring to the table? Bill: Definitely. The quality of our products is first-rate, and we have many reliable sales out lets. What’s more, Vivitek can propel us to even greater heights. It will be an all-around excellent match.Jessica: I think it might be, though we have yet to discuss details. Bill: As a matter of fact, we’ve already received a few attracti ve bids.Jessica: Well, we of curse need to come up with a plan that is attra ctive for both partiesBill: True, but my boss has to keep our shareholders’ interests in mind.Jessica: It’s reasonable to keep your employees’ welfare in mind.

The problem with us is that w e don’t as many reliable sales outlets as you have. We hope your c ompany can propel us to even greater heights.A: As a matter of fact, we’ve already received a few attractive bids.So we have to be cautious in making a decision.B: I hope you will find our company an all-around excellent match.

That’s why they call you headhunters.V. Let’s TalkMartin: Dick, would you review the result of the survey on leisure sporting activities. We need to plan our proposal for this Fri day’s business meeting.Dick: Sure. I’ve summarized the results in the handouts, broken do wn by customer age groups and sporting activities. The surveywas administered to 550 men and women between the age of 18 and 55 years old, and the results have been compiled in the following age groups: 18to 26, 27to 35,36to 45, and 46to 55. According to the results, the most active group involved in sporting activities is between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those36to 45 years old.Martin: Okay.Dick: As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport fol lowed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.Martin: And what about these groups broken down by gender?Dick: Oh, Martin, thanks for bringing that up. Men appears to be sl ightly more active than women in the 18 to 26 year-old age group, but women seem more active in the other three groups Martin: Hmm. Based on what you have said, I think we should consider targeting the 18 to 26 year-old age group more in the future.I also feel we should consider expanding our line of athleticshoes, particularly jogging shoes and tennis footwear. We alsohave to come up with a more appealing slogan aimed at this age group.Dick: I see what you mean. However, the 46 to 55 age group is becom ing more concerned about staying fit. I believe this trend will continue, so we should not neglect them.Martin: I see your point. Well, let’s meet again on Wednesday to irSAMPLEA: How many people do you think we have to survey before we can havea clear idea about the sales potential for each product?B: I think our survey must be administered to at least 300 men and wo men of various ages, incomes and occupations. Otherwise the result s won’t be reliable.A: Perhaps we can use our common sense to predict the results.B: Obviously, young people pay more attention to their clothes than o lder people, and they tend to buy more.A: It’s clear that women are more active in buying dresses. Our prod uction should target women.B: What do you think about the various income groups? Do you think we should aim mainly at the high income group? A: It’s hard to say. Some rich people are very careful with their mo ney. So, we have to wait until the investigation results come out. B: Now let’s switch to sports shoes. Which group do you think may be active?A: I guess the young people may buy the most because many of them like sports a great deal.B: I think this group will be followed by the old group instead of the middle-aged group. The old people are becoming more concerned about staying fit.A: I agree. And I believe this trend will continue, so we shouldn’t neglect them.B: What may be the result broken down by gender?A: Many people think men are more active than women, but I’m not qui te sure.B: Ok, let’s carry out our survey as early as possible and let facts speak for themselves.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: Hot Business IdeasBusiness ideas are all around you. Many business ideas come from a ca reful analysis of market and consumer needs. If you are interested in starting a business, but don’t know what product or service you mig ht sell, here are some ways that may help you find one.First of all, you should study how to value to an existing product. T he difference raw wood and finished wooden products is a good example of putting a product through an additional process that increases it s value.But additional processes are not the only way value can be added. You might also add services, or combine one product with other products. For instance, a local farm which sells produce can also offer a vege table delivery service—for a free.What business ideas can you develop along these lines? Focus on what products you might buy, and what you might do to them or with them to create a profitable business.Some people have another way of making profit. They improve an existi ng products or service. We all know that the person who can build a b etter mousetrap will make a lot of money. That person could be you! A local entrepreneur has created an improved version of the hula hoop. It’s bigger and heavier, so hula-hoopers can control it more easily and do more tricks. How did she come up with this business idea? She thought hula hooping would be a fun thing to do with her daughter, bu t found the commercially available product too flimsy.There are very few products or services that can’t be improved. Star t generating business ideas by looking at the products and services y ou use and brainstorming ideas as to how they could be better.20. What is the first way the speaker mentions that helps you produce a business idea?21. Which of the following methods does the speaker NOT mention?22. Why does the speaker mention the mousetrap?23. Which of the following is true according to the passage?24. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.DTask 2: What do you know about business?Historically, the term business referred to activities or interests. By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synony mous with “an individual commercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear intercha ngeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishin g business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fis hing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” may serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”.People establish business in order to perform economic activities. Wi th some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other word s, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generatin g a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of the ir main objectives.One can classify businesses in many different ways. In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intan gible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds tha n manufacturers.Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of c ommercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types inc lude partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability compan ies, and sole ownerships. Task3: An office boy or a billionaire?A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The human resource manger interviewed him, and gave him a test: clea n the floor.“You are engaged,” he said, “give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application form to fill and tell you when you will star t.” The man replied, “I don’t have a computer or an email.”“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager, “if you don’t have an email, t hat means you don’t exist. And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have th e job!”The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with on ly 10 dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a crate of tomatoes. He sold the tomatoes in a door-to doorround. In less than two hours, he succeeded in doubling his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 doll ars. The man realizes that he could survive this way, and started to go out early and returned late every day.Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. A little later, he boug ht a cart, then a trunk, then he has his own fleet of delivery vehicl es. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers i n the United States. He started to plan his family’ future, and deci ded to buy life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. Before the conversation was concluded, the broker a sked him for his email address. The man replied,” I have no email.”The broker replied,” You don’t have an email, and yet have succeede d in building an empire! Can you imagine what you could have been you had an email.”The man replied, “ An office boy at Microsoft!”For Reference1. “If you don’t have an email that means you don’t exist.And whoever doesn’t exist can’t have the job!”2.

Litigat ion is never a good thing for any industry or any company. We have sa id for some time that we would go the extra mile to resolve this case. That is exactly what we did in reaching this settlement.The experience of the past the three years hs had a profound impact o n me personally and on our company. We are in a fast-moving, competit ive industry, but we will focus more on how our actions affect other companies.John Ashcroft, U.S Attorney General:Today we are announcing a strong, historical settlement reached by th e Department of Justice and the Microsoft Corporation that will put an end to Microsoft’s unlawful conduct, bring effective relief to the marketplace, and ensure that consumers will have more choices in meet ing their needs of computing and working with their computers. This s ettlement is the right result for consumers and for businesses, the r ight result for the economy, and the right result for government. It provides prompt, effective, certain relief for consumers and removes the uncertainty in the computer market, a critical factor in today’s economy.。

Questions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.The Changing Face of TravelIn the 1960s, people first became aware of world issues. Many became concerned about issues like peace, cultural differences, human rights, wildlife preservation, and the environment. Even tourists started to think about the people and the surroundings in the regions that they visit. In the past, tourism has often had negative results for local communities. "Taking a trip" meant going to museums and buying things. Tourists went to enjoy the beaches and see the sights, but they did not interact with the people there. Therefore, these local people saw the visitors only as a source of money. The native people did not respect the tourists, and the tourists did not respect the native people, either. In fact, the people of the two groups hardly interacted with one another at all—except over money.A change in the world's awareness, or knowledge about differences in culture, is making a difference in the way people visit other lands. In other words, attitudes seem to be changing. A lot of concerned people have joined organizations to learn more about environmental problems and other populations in the world. These groups began to cooperate with one another and with communities throughout the world. They organized educational groups and friendship tours. And they brought about a new kind of tourism.What did Laura bring home as a tourist?Laura Shaquielle left her home and stayed in Kenya for two months. When she returned to Manchester, she prepared food for her family in the Kenyan way. She brought home a dress like one that her great-great-grandmother might have worn. She didn't bring home many items bought on her trip, but she did bring home stories about where her ancestors (祖先) had once lived. Her stories about the animals on the broad plains and the thick forests made Kenyareal to her family and friends. Laura talked about the dying elephant herds, and the term "endangered species (物种)" made more sense to them. For Laura and her family, being a tourist also has a new meaning.The Responsible Tourists and the Environmental TouristsTourists on trips like Laura's visit communities and lands for new reasons. These travelers are responsible tourists. They want to get acquainted—to get to know the people and enjoy the land—and they act respectfully. Some of the tours are nature tours. People on these tours learn about the environment. They want to see the wildlife—both the animals and the plants in their natural environments. They learn about the land and enjoy its beauty, but they are careful not to destroy anything.By the 1980s, many of the responsible tourists also became environmental tourists. These people traveled not only to enjoy the land and people, but also to help preserve the environment and to work for world peace. Their goal was harmony between all people and the land.The responsible tourists and the environmental tourists became interested in the places they had visited. These people were interested in caring for the natural state of the environment. They began to look for ways to help protect the environment, so they joined in special tours. At first their fees for the trips helped pay for efforts to protect the environment. The first eco-tours (生态旅游) were in Africa and Latin America. There, eco-tourists traveled to interesting places and studied the environment. Soon eco-tourists began to organize groups to help in the communities. These groups worked hard; for example, a group of city office workers "got their hands dirty." They built a new trail in an area where rain was washing away the soil on the side of the mountain. They carried stones to strengthen the hill and to make steps in some areas. They were ideal eco-tourists.Eco-tourists who return home after such visits can have a great deal of influence. Because of their interest and enthusiasm, they bring some serious problems to the attention of others. For example, because of the efforts of people who care about the environment, some international laws have changed to protect endangered species and to preserve large areas of land.Several Kinds of Eco-toursNowadays eco-tourists can choose from several kinds of tours. They can be "independent" eco-tourists. Independent tourists make plans themselves. They do not expect comforts like hot water and soft beds. They travel alone or in small groups on foot, by train, and by bus. Other tourists want adventure, but they also like comfort. These tourists are more likely to travel on organized trips. These trips may include hiking in the mountains, watching birds or whales, working with scientists, sailing on the ocean, or taking boats on a wild river. Other eco-tours promote cultural understanding and friendship. Some travelers live with people of the community. All the travel is friendly to the environment and promotes peace and understanding among people of the world.Problems and Solutions to Eco-toursEven the eco-tourists' solution to the making of travel can mean something to create new problems, of course. For example, these tourists were all visiting the same places! In a way, eco-tourists loved the environment too much. There were too many of them; although they were careful, they were damaging the environment. It is high time someone needed to plan and coordinate travels of the eco-tourists.The travel industry provided solutions. According to reports, tourism has become one of the world's largest industries. In 1993, $3.5 trillion (万亿) was spent on tourism. Since the year 2000, one third of all international travelers have taken some form of nature travel. In 1982 only a few travel companies in the United States planned nature travel; now more than 500 do. Hundreds of travel agencies all over the world offer tours for every kind of tourist.Although the first eco-tourists wanted only to protect the environment, currently there are few who travel only to look at the natural environment or the wildlife. Like Laura Shaquielle, most tourists want an opportunity to experience a culture different from their own. They want to get to know the people and learn about their way of life. Travel advertisements advertise not only the natural beauty of the environment, but also the people, the ads tell about cultural activities as well as about the wildlife and the natural wonders of the region.The tourism industry today is founded on the principles of respect and cooperation. Tourists now travel to get acquainted with thepeople and with the land. People in the communities build and work in hotels and lodges for the tourists. Government officials make sure everyone follows the laws. When all these groups cooperate, tourism is a benefit to everybody.1.The passage mainly describes the changes in tourism thatmake it more responsible.A. YB. NC.
