A. Eco-tourism Creates a False Impression
B. Merits and Demerits of Eco-tourism
C. Doubts about Benefits of Eco-tourism
D. Eco-tourism Leads to Romantic Destruction
E. Eco-tourism Is Environmentally Risky
F. No Local Benefits from Eco-tourism
小題1:_____________________________________
The trend towards eco-tourism holidays, presented as sustainable, nature-based and environmentally friendly, is now subject to considerable controversy. Governments as well as the tourism industry promote eco-tourism, resulting in an estimated world-wide annual growth of 10-15%, with its claims of economic and social sensitivity. But there are well-founded concerns that it lacks adequate scientific foundations, and is not practicable as a solution to the world’s social and environmental problems.
小題2:_____________________________________
Many eco-tourism claims concerning its benefits are exaggerated, or owe more to labelling and marketing than genuine sustainability. Not only are such projects repeatedly planned and carried out without local approval and support, but they often threaten local cultures, economies, and natural resource bases. Critics regard eco-tourism as an “eco-façade”---a strategy concealing the mainstream tourism industry’s consumptive and exploitative practices by “greening” it.
小題3:_____________________________________
Eco-tourism may have some advantages, but one of its most serious impacts is the expropriation(征用) of` “virgin” territories---national parks, wildlife parks and other wilderness areas---which are packaged for eco-tourists as the green option. Eco-tourism is highly consumer-centered, catering mostly to urbanised societies and the new middle-class “alternative lifestyles”. Searching for untouched places “off the beaten track” of mass tourism, travellers have already opened up many new destinations.
Mega-resorts, including luxury hotels, condominiums(公寓), shopping centres and golf course, are increasingly established in nature reserves in the name of eco-tourism. Such projects build completely artificial landscapes, tending to irretrievably(不可換回的) wipe out plant and wildlife species---even entire eco-systems.
小題4:_____________________________________
Diverse local social and economic activities are replaced by an eco-tourism monoculture. Contrary to claims, local people do not necessarily benefit from eco-tourism. Tourism-related employment is greatly overrated: locals are usually left with low-paying service jobs such as tour guides, porters, and food and souvenir vendors. In addition, they are not assured of year-round employment: workers may be laid off during the off-season. Most money, as with conventional tourism, is made by foreign airlines, tourism operators, and developers who repatriate profit to their own economically more advanced countries.
小題5:_____________________________________
Eco-tourism’s claim that it preserves and enhances local cultures is highly insincere. Ethnic groups are viewed as a major asset(優(yōu)點(diǎn)) in attracting visitors; an “exotic” backdrop to natural scenery and wildlife. The simultaneous romanticism and destruction of indigenous cultures(本土文化) is one of eco- tourism’s ironies. Given a lack of success stories, and sufficient evidence of serious adverse effects, the current huge investments in eco-tourism are misplaced and irresponsible. Research, education, and information for tourists are needed, as well as the countering of eco-tourism’s demeaning of local cultures.

Sports and games are very useful for character training. In their lessons at the school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues like unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one’s country. So what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on child’s character as what is learned by experience. As most of the pupils’ time is spent in classes study lessons, the ordinary day school can’t give many practical training for their lives in the future. So it is how the pupils do in the spare time that really prepare them to take their places in society as citizens when they grow up. Unless each of them learns to work for his team, and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it naturally to work for the good of his country instead only for his own benefit.

For more than a century, since he captured the spoken words "Mary had a little lamb" on a sheet of tinfoil (錫紙), Thomas Edison has been considered the father of recorded sound. But researchers say they have discovered a recording of the human voice which is nearly two ___小題1:___earlier than Edison's invention of the phonograph.
The 10-second recording of a singer crooning (輕聲歌唱)  the folk song  "Au Clair de la Lune"  was discovered earlier this month in an   ___小題2:___ in Paris by a group of American audio historians. It was made, the researchers say, on April 9, 1860, on a phonautograph, a machine designed to record sounds ___小題3:___, not to play them back. But the phonautograph recording, or phonautogram, was made playable---converted from squiggles (潦草的字跡) on paper to sound---by scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, Calif.
"This is a  ___小題4:___find, the earliest known recording of sound," said Samuel Brylawski, the former head of the recorded-sound division of the Library of Congress, who is not ___小題5:___with the research group but who was familiar with its findings. The audio discovery could give new   ___小題6:___ to the phonautograph, and its inventor, Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville,  a Parisian typesetter who went to his grave   ___小題7:___that credit for his breakthroughs had been ___小題8:___bestowed on Edison.
The recordings made by Scott were not intended for listening; the idea of audio  ___小題9:__ had not been conceived.  Rather, Scott sought to create a paper record of human speech that could later be___小題10:___.

The earth is a special planet in the solar system. The explosion of the earth produced carbon, nitrogen, vapor and other gases,    小題1:   (make) the earth’s atmosphere. What is even more important is _小題2:  as the earth cooled, water which is fundamental to the  小題3:  （develop） of life appeared and stayed on the surface. The continued presence of water allowed the earth to dissolve     小題4:  (harm) gases into the oceans and this produced a chain reaction which made it possible for life to develop.
Many millions of years later, the _小題5:  （arrive） of small plants encouraged the development of early shellfish    小題6:   all sorts of fish. Then, with the first green plants appearing on land, land animals appeared and dinosaurs developed and existed on the earth for millions of years. Then Dinosaurs’ sudden disappearance made the rise of mammals possible on the earth. They were different from all life forms   小題7:   ever existed in the past because they produced young from within their bodies. Finally, some small clever animals with hands and legs ___小題8:___(appear) and spread all over the earth. Thus they, in their turn, have become    小題9:   most important animals. However, they are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. So for millions of years to come,    小題10:   life will continue on the earth will depend on whether the present problem can be solved.

What is a big dream ? （1）     Or , is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.
The Self
Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This inside voice is the ego(自我). It’s there for protecting and should be listened to.（2）   
Most people are influenced by the inside voice. That’s why only a handful of people make their dream come true.
（3）      
Family and friends are a lot like the ego. They want to protect those they love, so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won’t come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.
The World
If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. （4）     In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at.
The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action. When children have confidence and then take action, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. （5）    
A.Family and Friends
B.How Big Dreams Die
