Having Fun “Growing” and “Stealing”?

Laura: You know, people in the city are longing for (渴望) the life in the countryside. It reduces my work pressure (压力) ; besides, it gives me the exciting experience of being a “thief ”.

Much has been said and written about heroes now, mainly because many people think we have too few of them. There are many different kinds of heroes, but they usually seem to have two things. First, heroes show their great power by actions. Second, heroes can be tested by the time. Because of these good points, we need to choose our heroes carefully.
Olympic winner Jackie Joyner-Kersee tells young people to work hard. She hopes that if someone tries to copy her, it will be because she has got success by working hard. She says that a hero should affect another person’s life.
Poet Maya Angelou believes that a hero encourages people to treat others well. A hero should show politeness, courage, patience, and strength all the time. A hero should encourage others to follow him with actions, even though only in small ways.
Author Daniel Boorstin suggests that, “Celebrities are people who appear on newspapers, but heroes are people who make history.” If a person is truly a hero, he or she will not be soon forgotten.
We all need heroes. We need to be able to respect (尊重) people around us. Many times , the greatest heroes are the people we can see every day — our relatives, friends, and neighbours — who will never give up when facing difficulty. The parent who supports our family, the teacher who will make more money at another job but chooses to help students — all these people can be considered as heroes. A hero sets a good example, an example that encourages others to follow.
【小题1】Joyner-Kersee hopes that young people ___________.
A.will work hard | B.will become heroes |
C.will follow her | D.will achieve her goal |
A.志愿者 | B.记者 | C.政客 | D.名人 |
A.there are fewer heroes than before |
B.many common people set examples to us |
C.heroes should be polite, patient and famous |
D.heroes have to do some great things |
A.What Heroes Do | B.Who Are Heroes |
C.How Heroes Live | D.Where Heroes are |

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the local people of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the local people become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy(经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance(推进) the well-being (health and happiness) of local people.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a lot of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
【小题1】What is probably the reason if local people dislike tourists?
A.Tourists come to enjoy the customs and beauty. |
B.Local people lose jobs. |
C.A lot of hotels are built. |
D.Too many tourists cause traffic problems. |
A.Make plans properly. |
B.Help the country’s economy. |
C.Build fewer hotels. |
D.Advance the well-being of local people. |
A.businesses will lose money |
B.other parts of the country’s economy will make more money |
C.local people will be happier |
D.more local people will work for tourists. |
A.①②③④⑤ | B.②③④⑤⑥ | C.①②③⑤⑥ | D.①③④⑤⑥ |
A.whether people need to build more hotels |
B.whether people need to plan tourism properly |
C.how to deal with the problems above |
D.how to prevent tourism growing too quickly |
