You don’t mean any harm. You’re just trying to have a good time. But do you know how your overseas vacation 21 people in other countries? What’s your dream vacation? New chances are opening up all the time to 22 the world. So we visit travel agents, compare prices and pay our money. We know 23 our vacation costs us. 24 unfortunately, tourism often harms the local people 25 it helps them. For example, in Zanzibar, a British company got 57 sq km of land from the government for tourist sites（旅游胜地）. They include 14 luxury hotels, three golf courses , swimming pools and an airport. The local people fear 26 their farmland and fishing rights. And most of the profits（利润） do not help the local people. 27 , profits go for the tour operators in wealthier countries. When the Massey people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slum (贫民区), 28 now make a little money by selling small gifts. Removed from their hunting lands, the Indians have no choice 29 their culture. Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. Now people are working together to correct them. Tourists, too, are 30 the pressure. Though the beginnings are small, the results are 31 . The good news is that everyone, including us, can 32 in helping the local people in the place we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by 33 that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages. They can make it a point to use only locally 34 hotels, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people 35 planning and managing tourism.

解析
本文讲的是旅游度假对游览区当地人的影响。
小题1:B。此处用动词affect影响。但你知道你的海外度假怎么影响其它国家的人。
小题1:D。explore探索。本句意思是：探索世界的新机会总是不断地涌现出来。
小题1:A。what在此处作动词cost的宾语，本句的意思是：我们知道我们度假花费我们什么东西。

举一反三
Have you ever thought about what determines the way we are when we grow up? Remember the TV program Seven Up? It started following the lives of a group of children in 1973. We first meet them as wide-eyed seven-year-olds and catch up with them at seven-year intervals: nervous 14-year-olds, serious 21-year-olds and then grown-ups.
Some of the stories are inspiring, others sad, but what is interesting in almost all the cases is the way in which the children’s early hopes and dreams are shown in their future lives. For example, at seven, Tony is a lively child who says he wants to become a sportsman or a taxi driver. When he grows up, he goes on to do both. How about Niki? She says, “I would like to find out about the moon.” And she goes on to become a space scientist. As a child, soft-spoken Bruce says he wants to help “poor children” and ends up teaching in India.
But if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern, the program would be far less interesting than it actually was. It was the children whose childhood did not prepare them for what was to come that made the program so interesting. Where did their ideas come from about what they wanted to do when they grew up? Are children influenced by what their parents do, by what they see on television or by what their teachers say? How great is the effect of a single important event? Many film directors, including Steven Spielberg, say that an early visit to the cinema was the turning point in their lives. Dr. Margaret McAllister, who has done a lot of research in this area, thinks that the major factors are parents, friends and their wider society.
小题1:What does the text mainly discuss?| A．New ways to make a TV program interesting. | | B．The importance of TV programs to children. | | C．Different ways to make childhood dreams come true. | | D．The influence of childhood experience on future lives. |
小题2: What does the underlined word “influenced” mean in the last paragraph?| A．Impressed. | B．Improved. | C．Affected. | D．Attracted. |
小题3: What are the examples in Paragraph 2 meant to show?| A．Many people’s childhood hopes are related to their future jobs. | | B．There are many poor children in India who need help. | | C．Children have different dreams about their future. | | D．A lot of people are very sad in their childhood. |
小题4:Spielberg’s story is meant to show that _______.| A．going to a movie at an early age helps a child learn about society | | B．a single childhood event may decide what one does as a grown-up | | C．parents and friends can help a child grow up properly | | D．films have more influence on a child than teachers do |

It must have been around nine o’clock when I drove back home from work because it was already dark． As I came near to the gates I turned off the head lights of the car so as to prevent the beam from swinging (摆动) through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me． But I needn’t have done so． I noticed that his light was still on, so he was awake anyway—unless he had fallen asleep while reading． I put the car away and went up the steps．
Then I opened the door quietly and went to Jack’s room． He was in bed awake, but he didn’t even turn towards me．
“What’s up, Jack﹖” I asked．
“For God’s sake, don’t make a noise,” he said．
The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself serious injury．
“Take your shoes off, Neville,” Jack said．
I thought that he must be ill and that I had better give way to him to keep him happy． “There is a snake here,” he explained． “It’s asleep between the sheets． I was lying on my back reading when I saw it．I knew that moving was out of the question． I could not have moved even I’d wanted to．” I realized that he was serious． “I was depending on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home,” Jack went on． “It has not bitten me yet but I dare not do anything to upset it． It might wake up． I’m sick of this,” he said．“I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago．”
There was no time to argue or apologize for being late．I looked at him as encouraging as I could and went to telephone the doctor．

Dad came in the midnight. We heard every sound, but we pretended to be asleep.
Next morning he looked weak and thin, sitting in a chair by the kitchen fire. The light of the fire shone through his long empty sleeve. Everything went as usual. Grandma found something to do in the bedroom. Grandpa went out for some water. Mother, with her back to us, was getting the cakes ready for breakfast.
But nothing was right. When grandma came out of the bedroom, she walked on tiptoe. When grandpa came back, he said nothing about the weather. At breakfast Mother passed us the fruit and said something, but her voice was too high.
At last my sister, Lou, pushed back her chair. “It’s your turn to wash the dishes.” But I had washed the dishes the night before. I said nothing because it was not right to quarrel in front of Dad just home with the empty sleeve.
“It is your turn,” Lou said again. I looked at her in surprise.
“It is not,” I said because I suddenly remembered Mother had told us to go on as usual.
“Children, children,” Mother said in a quiet, glad kind of voice.
And Dad was smiling because he felt at home at last.
