Effects of tourism
Nearly everybody likes traveling. Nowadays, tourism is becoming an indispensable industry in China. Moreover, our government has taken good measures to improve this new industry in recent years. For instance, many appealing scenic and historic spots have been explored. And therefore, thousands upon thousands of tourists around the world flood into China every year.
However, a coin has two sides. Advantages of tourism industry are always accompanied by disadvantages. Those who are in favour of tourism industry argue that our country can benefit a lot from it. On the one hand, we can introduce our splendid national culture to the world. On the other, we can increase our financial income. Additionally, tourism can help to promote the understanding and friendship among the peoples of the world.
The main reason why some people oppose tourism is that the masses cannot benefit from it, because too many tourists will lead to the higher prices of goods. Furthermore, it is also a danger to the environment, because too many tourists will bring more waste, which is difficult to deal with for the moment.
Anyway, as a rising industry, tourism has played its unique role in the development of China. China is a great country which is endowed with natural beauty and possesses historic relics. So for one thing, we should display our best to the world; and for another, we should take action to avoid any negative effects.

Were you the first or the last child in your family? Or were you a middle or an only child?
Some people think 31 matters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas about what birth order means. Some people say that oldest children, 32 are smart and strong-willed, are very likely 33 (succeed). The reason 34 this is simple. Parents have a lot of time for their first child and give him or her a lot of attention. An only child will succeed for 35 same reason.
What happens to the 36 children in the family? Middle children don’t get so much attention, so they don’t feel that important. If a family has many children, the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child, 37 , often gets special treatment. Often this child grows up to be funny. But a recent study saw things quite 38 (difference). The study found that first children believe in family rules. They didn’t take many chances in 39 lives. They usually 40 (follow) orders. Rules didn’t mean as much to later children in the family. They took chances and they often did better in life.
