Tourism (旅游业)Tourism: Who gets the money
Many tourists believe that much of the money they spend on a vacation to a poor country benefits (使……受益) the local community. But how much of the cost of this kind of vacation r 1 goes to the country you visit
Let’s take a family in the U.S. who goes on vacation somewhere in Africa. Some of their money goes to the travel a 2 who sells the vacation and to the tour company that organizes it. More money goes to the American airline that flies the family there and back. The resort is owned by a European company. The manager and top staff at the resort are European, and most of their salary is paid into banks back home. The waiters, cooks, and cleaners are local, but they don’t earn very much money. And the food and drink which they serve is almost all imported (进口).
As a rule, less than a third of the money paid for this kind of vacation goes to the country which is visited.How tourism can h 3 developing countries
So it is always wrong to visit poor countries as a tourist Not at all—it depends on the kind of vacation you take. Responsible tourists use their visit to learn about the c 4 and language of the country they are in. They interact with the locals and ask questions—rather than believing that they know all the answers! They travel by public transportation and eat the local food. The souvenirs they buy are locally-made. And everyone benefits. The responsible tourist has a great vacation, and the money that is spent stays in the country.The good news about tourism
Tourism is big business and provides at least 10 m 5 jobs around the world. Tourist spending is very important for the economies of many countries, providing a high percentage of their income. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, tourism produces over U.S. $6 trillion a year.

Dennis Tito is an American rocket scientist. The 82-year-old billionaire plans to take a week-long trip with his wife around the far side of the moon.
Dennis Tito, became the first private space t 6 in 2001, who paid Russia $20 million for a trip to the International Space Station. That ticket would be worth $34 million today.
Tito, then 60, shared, “The pencils on the table started floating in the air, and I could see the blackness of space. It was the greatest moment of my life to achieve a life goal, and I knew then that n 7 could ever beat this.” The rapture (狂喜) will be r 8 as the US billionaire and his wife said they had bought two seats on a future SpaceX passenger flight around the moon.
Tito’s space dreams are still alive and kicking. He plans to take his wife to the moon on a SpaceX Starship flight. “I’ve been thinking about flying to the moon for the last 20 years s 9 I finished my last space flight,” Tito said.
He continued, “We will be able to watch the Earth get smaller and smaller, and the moon get larger and larger. We will be out of this world.”
It’s not known how much they might spend. However, Tito would not discuss the cost of his space trip around the moon. “One of the things I hope to do, we both hope to do, is to inspire people that as we get older, there are so many things we still can do. And flying in space a 10 is a lot easier than a lot of other things. I mean, I’m b 11 the age of skiing, but flying in space is much easier than that,” Tito said.
Maths, more than any other subject causes anxiety (焦虑) in students. Maths anxiety or fear of maths is actually quite c 12 . Usually maths anxiety comes from unpleasant experiences in maths. When anxious students look at maths problems, their minds go completely blank (空白). They feel stupid, and they can’t r 13 how to do even the simplest things.
Students with maths anxiety usually have difficulties in f 14 their minds on the maths problems. Their brains seem to shut down (stop thinking) when a maths problem appears. Fear and anxiety take the p 15 of clear thinking. Finally they give up their efforts to understand.
For some students, maths anxiety can turn i 16 a great block (障碍) forever. Maths teachers can help them move away this block by providing the students more support and encouraging them in maths study. However, a simple “you can do it” is not enough. I 17 , the teachers need to prove to the students that they can do it, convincing (说服) them—by telling them stories of successful experiences—that they can do maths better than they think. In addition, teachers should move towards a real-life way to maths, with more attention on understanding and less on memorization, more on application (应用) and less on computation (计算), more on students' participation (参与) and less on teachers’ lecture.
Caring about family
Q: I have heard that Chinese culture values filial piety (孝道) a lot. I want to know about what Chinese young people think of the idea of filial piety. Amaiya, 25, the Philippines
Teenagers share their ideas on what filial piety means:
We have a saying that “filial piety is the first of the hundred vlrtues (美德)”. So you know respecting and taking care of our parents are very important. This traditional value has been passed down from generation (一代人) to generation t 18 many different stories. My mom sets a good example for me, too. Every week she goes to visit her mom as well. When my mom gets sick, I cook for her. I also prepare birthday gifts for her to show my love.
I think filial piety is a n 19 thing. Our parents do so many things for us, such as feeding us, looking after us and teaching us. Therefore, we feel thankful and want to pay them back. As teenagers, filial piety may just mean trying to make parents happy by b 20 well.
Wang Lining, 14, Shanxi
In China, many schools have several meaningful a 21 to promote (提倡) filial piety, such as helping wash their feet or writing a “thank you card”. By doing these things, we develop stronger love for our parents. It is great! Confucius (孔子) believed that only if everyone is good to their parents can they be good to other people. Then there won't be many fights or arguments and we can better c 22 with each other. I think it is an excellent idea. It means that filial piety is not only about loving your parents, but about loving everyone!
So I think we all should try our best to help our parents. Be there for them when they feel lonely. Give them money when they n 23 it. These are all actions of the greatest kindness.
Yan Zihan, 13, Guangdong
When Emily Cummins was four years old, her grandfather gave her a hammer. She loved using it, and started to learn how to make toys from old things that nobody used any more.
When she was a teenager, she was very c 24 and always thought a lot about making inventions to help other people. Emily’s grandfather had an illness. He had a lot of pain in his hands and fingers. One day, Emily saw that he had t 25 getting toothpaste (牙膏) out of the tube. She made an invention that helped him with this, and won the Young Engineer for Britain Award for her toothpaste dispenser.
A few years later, Emily learnt about the serious water shortage in some African countries. The women and children there often walk many kilometres a day to get water for their villages. They usually put the buckets on their heads. Therefore, they have to walk c 26 so as not to spill (溅出) the water. Emily’s invention is a simple water carrier. It makes it possible for the women to transport up to five buckets each time.B 27 , it is easy for them to repair the water carrier when it is broken as it is made of wood.
Her latest project is a simple fridge that runs without electricity, but only needs the e 28 that comes from the sun. There are now thousands of families in villages in Zambia, Namibia and South Africa who use it to keep milk, food and medicines cool.
Emily is now a young woman. She is the winner of several p 29 for her inventions. She was named one of the world’s top ten young people.
Emily frequently visits schools and talks to teenagers. She wants to e 30 them to come up with new ideas that make the world a better place. She wants to use her skills to make a difference.

Architect Chris Hardie was stopped by a grandpa at the Shanghai Library East Branch (上海图书馆东馆). “You look familiar,” the grandpa, holding a c 31 , asked in English. “Oh, are you the architect ”
The library in Pudong first opened its doors to the public last September. It q 32 became a new landmark in the city. The grandpa wasn’t the only one who was there to take pictures. Some had already visited it several times to do so. “I’m happy to see that,” said Hardie, the library’s architect.
Hardie says libraries are his f 33 public buildings. “If you go to a theater, you can watch plays. If you go to a gallery, it has exhibitions. Libraries have it all,” he explains. A modern library is much more than just a r 34 space.”
Modern libraries, according to Hardie, should help to connect people together. That means that they should contain more spaces for events l 35 exhibitions and performances, or simply for people to relax.
Hardie has designed many libraries around the world. However, this project in Shanghai is s 36 to him. That’s because the Scottish-born architect has been living in the city for more than ten years now. He c 37 Shanghai to be his home city and has made many friends here. When designing the library, he was aware that these friends, as well as his two children and their friends, would all come to visit it.
And to Hardie’s joy, his job seems to have gone down well with the local community.

New Zealand is a great place to travel around. There are mountains, lakes, rivers, and the beautiful ocean. There is fishing, bush walks and adventure sports as well. However, before you go, you should think about where you want to s 38 .
If money is not a problem, you may choose a hotel. The main centres and tourist centres have hotels offering many different services. The p 39 of a room at a top class hotel is about $500 a night, although the more you pay the more you get.
Another c 40 is a motel, which is like a small apartment. Everything you need to make your own meals is provided, except food. The motel will even provide tea, coffee and milk. Feel free to enjoy them. A motel usually costs about $160 a night for two people.
Backpackers Hostels (背包客旅馆) are very popular with young people who don’t have much money. If you don’t mind sharing a room, you can pay about $20. They are good places to m 41 other young people and exchange travel news.

Waste sorting is a simple process that requires neither a lot of time nor any special resources. When you throw away trash (废物), do you know which bin it should go in Have you ever n 43 the differently-colored trash bins on the street or in your neighborhood
Some of you might not be able to answer this question easily. In fact, it is very important. Not knowing how to sort waste can make it even h 44 to save energy and protect the environment.
If you don’t sort your trash, all of it will go to a landfill (垃圾填埋场) and be m 45 together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. The electronic waste can pollute the soil and groundwater (地下水). Other pieces of garbage, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.
With this in mind, many cities in China have been running waste-sorting activities in recent years. For example, Shanghai announced in July 2019 that within three years, all of its residents should sort their waste into f 46 groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.
Many other c 47 , including Shenzhen and Qingdao, plan to use this method to sort their waste. Now that you know this, perhaps you can do your part to protect the environment and encourage others to sort their trash.
Waste sorting is also a major problem around the world. Different countries are using different methods to sort their trash. Japan is l 48 the world in waste sorting. It is a very important part of Japanese life and Japanese people will expect foreigners to follow their belief.
A healthy mind
The brain is the most fascinating part of our body. Even though there has been all medical research, n 49 can really understand everything about it. Like the rest of our body, our brain needs to be cared for. The ways that we keep our mind healthy can be quite easy. Getting a good night’s sleep, eating a balanced diet and taking a deep breath are all important methods of looking after both your body and your brain.
Many people think their brain will slow down with age and their memory will get worse as a result. The t 50 is, just like your body, you can also improve your mind. I’ve found I can improve my memory if I can i 51 what I need to remember. For example, if I’m going shopping and I need bread, milk and a birthday card for my brother, I form pictures of these things in my mind.
The same kind of method can be u 52 with important dates. If you have a picture in your mind of a particular event, it’s much e 53 to remember than just a number on a calendar.
Another way of improving your mind is to make sure you r 54 visit new places and have new experiences. Traveling more often has much more long-term benefits than you would have ever expected. Personally I find learning English is a great way to keep the brain working, and communication with others in any language is important. Having a c 55 is much better for your brain than staring at a computer screen or at other people talking on TV.
Today, life is becoming increasingly stressful for most people. Everyone is required to live and work at a f 56 pace. Students have to study hard.
However, if we always study and work under pressure, we will get upset more o 57 and may be trapped in a state of sub-health, which may lead to an illness in the end. So it is important for us to learn how to relax.
There are many ways to relax. It is a good idea to t 58 to your good friends. They may offer you suggestions and help make you feel better. Doing sports is a 59 way to relax. It has been proven by scientists that physical activity is helpful for refreshment. Exercising half an hour every day after school will definitely make you feel refreshed. If you do not like sports, it is also a good c 60 to take a walk outdoors to breathe in more fresh air and enjoy the sunshine.
There are also many interesting ways to relax. Some women go shopping to reduce stress. Sleeping is a popular way a 61 students and white collars. Some people even eat whatever they want. But you should be c 62 with your health.
Everyone needs to know something about stress management. Different people have their own way to reduce pressure. Everyone should find a suitable way to relax.
Trees are one of the oldest “citizens” of our earth. They keep our air clean, reduce noisy pollution, improve water quality and provide food and building materials. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, many trees learn how to p 63 themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to warn animals not to go near. Most young trees have large deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and e 64 .
When trees are 4 years old, they begin to grow very rapidly and become strong enough to face challenges (挑战) later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grew s 65 and begin to produce flowers and fruit.
It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a r 66 adult. The tree reaches its largest size. Not only does the adult tree gives us shed, oxygen and natural beauty; it is also a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to nap or read a book or listen to music. If the adult tree receives proper care, it will continue to live h 67 for many years.
Gradually trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow (空心的) or part of it dies, it provides a home for small animals, and is also a source of food for many o 68 animals.
In many ways, the life of a tree is similar to our own life especially. When looking at the life of a tree, we learn that each period of life brings its own form of joy and challenge. Enjoy every minute of it and take care of the trees!

Judy: And why have you decided to become a PE teacher
Tom: I love all sports and I really believe it’s important for young people to do sports r 70 , for example, playing badminton twice a week. Doing sports also teaches young people important life l 71 , such as the importance of teamwork, discipline (纪律) and so on.

Colour helps you see things. But man and some monkeys and apes (猿) are the o 75 mammals (哺乳动物) that can see colour. To any other mammals, s 76 as the dog, the world looks like a black and white photo. Dogs hunt mainly by listening and smelling.
Like other a 77 , dogs see best when things move. The animals they hunt seem to know this. Rabbits or deer will freeze w 78 they find that they are being hunted. Then the dog may not see them at all.
Birds can see colour. They fly and need to find places to land. Colour helps them know how f 79 the place is and what it is like so that they are able to catch flying things in the air or to land on something they think safe. Some birds see things even b 80 than man does. They can see things far away from them. And even a very y 81 bird can see a house from high up in the sky. So good eyes and being able to see colours help birds find food.

Bye, our “little brown rat” !
Years ago, melomys (珊瑚裸尾鼠) could still be seen running on the Australian island of Bramble Cay(荆棘礁). Local fishermen would sometimes see them. One fisherman, Egon Steward, told scientists that he saw a few in 2009.
Scientists believe that was the l 82 time anyone saw the animal. In February, the Australian government announced that Bramble Cay melomys had gone extinct (灭绝). It is the first mammal (哺乳动物) to become extinct because of climate change.
Melomys have never been found outside Bramble Cay. In 1978, several hundred melomys lived on the island. That number had dropped to below 100 by 1998. In December 2011, scientists looked for melomys and r 83 home empty-handed.
Melomys were little known. However, people around the world are s 84 about their extinction (灭绝) . “The melomys was a little brown rat,” said Tim Beshara, a scientist. “But it was our little brown rat. It was our responsibility to protect the animal from extinction. Sadly, we f 85 .”
It is very likely that the melomys went extinct because the island was short of f 86 . The animal lived on plants. Between 2004 and 2014, however, the number of plants on Bramble Cay reduced by 97 percent. As a result, many melomys had to go h 87 . Scientists believe the lack (缺乏) of plants was caused by climate change.
Many native animals in Australia have become extinct. The government has been heavily criticized (批评) for doing little to s 88 the Earth. “ We are suffering from the real effects of climate change,” said Leanne Enoch. “ How many more species (物种) do we have to lose before we take real action ” he asked angrily.

Dear Editor,
Why do newspapers carry so many advertisements for electronic equipment Last Sunday I c 89 advertisements for seven kinds of televisions and thirteen kinds of radios in the News Express. B 90 that, there were pages and pages of advertisements for radios and tape recorders.
Don’t you realize what electronic equipment is doing to our d 91 life Everywhere you go you may hear loud music and advertisements over radios: this noise is ruining our ears. Children ruin their eyes with hours of watching not only the programs for children but also those for grown-ups. Husbands don’t talk to wives any more and they are a 92 watching the news or a ball game. And even w 93 , hidden microphones find out more about our private lives, and computers k 94 records of personal information about us. Enough is enough! I think you should limit the a 95 of advertising of electronic equipment in the News Express. Otherwise it will make life terrible for us all.

One afternoon David went to buy a pen for himself. On his w 96 to the shop, he saw an old woman drop a small bag to the ground. Before he told her about it, a worker had picked it up and put it into his pocket. Soon the woman r 97 that her bag had lost and went to ask the worker, but the man didn’t admit he had seen it. Looking at the tall and strong man, David was too afraid to say anything and had to leave w 98 telling the old woman the truth. That evening David felt sorry that he hadn’t spoken up. He thought it over and at last he f 99 a way. The next morning, David went to Mike’s home and told him about it. The boy agreed to help him teach the worker a lesson.
The man was cleaning a sewer (下水道) while the two boys were passing a shop.
“My mother dropped her g 100 watch into this sewer yesterday,” David said to Mike. When he heard this, the worker’s eyes lit up (发光), “Well, boys,” he said. “It’s d 101 here. Go and play on the playground.”
About two hours later the two boys passed there again. The worker stopped them and asked, “Are you s 102 that your mother lost her watch here ”
“Yes,” answered David, “but my father has got it out!”

It’s often said that the best way to see a country is to use the method of transport which is traditional in that place. So people should see Australia on horseback and the US by car. If this is true, then a bicycle is the p 110 way to visit Sri Lanka (斯里兰卡). Although the 18-speed mountain bike I used is not an everyday sight, more traditional types can be s 111 all over the country.
Sharing the same kind of transport as local people changes the way you see the place. You are travelling at a speed that fits the environment. It is not so slow that you only see a s 112 area each day, and not so fast that the details of the countryside are missed. Better still, you can stop whenever you want to listen to the birds or the sound of water, you can talk to people, smell their cooking or take a photo. H 113 , this doesn’t mean that cycling in Sri Lanka is relaxing. If you want to see the whole country, you have to leave the towns and villages and cycle t 114 the forest—where the temperature is 37℃, cross rivers, climb hills and go over paths.
The most pleasant paths in the forest follow the canals. These carry water into the bright green rice f 115 . Then, when you climb up the hills in the centre of the country, you can see that the s 116 of every hill is covered with rows of trees.

Electricity has always been around although it’s invisible! Scientists have worked with electricity for thousands of years. We’ve all heard of the famous ones such a 117 Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison, but many other important inventors have been buried (埋葬) in history.
Back in ancient Greece, scientists began to study electricity. Over 2,000 years l 118 in 1600, English scientist William Gilbert first used the word “electric” in a report.
In 1786, an Italian professor found that when he touched a dead frog’s leg with a knife, the leg started to shake! In 1792, a 119 Italian scientist, Alessandro Volta, gave the correct e 120 : the two different metals—the steel knife and the tin (锡) plate where the frog was lying—made the leg shake. Volta also invented the first battery.
In the late 19th century, British scientist Joseph Swan and American inventor Thomas Edison set up a company to p 121 the first electric lamp. Before that, Edison invented a generator (发电机) and used it to provide e 122 to light his lab. Later he lighted the first New York street with electric lamps in September 1882!
When Edison’s generator was c 123 to James Watt’s steam engine (蒸汽机), it became possible to produce a lot of electricity at last!

When I was small, my mum used to give the family s 124 special for meals—she would make breakfast food for dinner.
I still remember one night my mum put some bread in front of my dad, something very burnt. I waited to see if anybody noticed. To my surprise, my dad just took his b 125 , smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me how my day at school had been. I’ve forgotten what I told him that night. But I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He ate it up as u 126 , every single bite.
After dinner, my mum said sorry to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, “I love burnt bread, dear. It doesn’t matter at all.”
Later that night, I went to kiss Dad good night. I asked him if he really liked his bread burnt. He held me in arms and said, “Your mum worked very hard all day. She’s really t 127 . And you see—a bit of burnt food never hurt anyone!”
Now I know life is not perfect. Nobody is perfect, either. As for me, I often f 128 birthdays or some other special days. But I’ve learned something important over these years. What we really need is the understanding of each other, whether between a husband and wife, a parent and child or just between two friends. This is the k 129 to a happy life.
So don’t get angry if the bread gets burnt. Remember, burnt bread n 130 hurt anyone. Be kind to those around you and a happier life will surely come closer to you.
