The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To cope with this problem, national parks may require reservations (预约)months in advance for some spots. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees at these places.
Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, officials may decrease(减少) the number of cars allowed in parks. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also limit(限制) the use of jet-skis, snowmobiles (摩托雪橇), motorboats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.
The parks are also threatened by development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many motels (汽车旅馆), golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments affect areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.
小题1: By 2010, the number of visitors will rise by ______.
A.250 million | B.500 million | C.2.5 billion | D.5 billion |
A.pay less than before | B.stay there for months |
C.book the ticket before months | D.fill in a form to apply for the ticket |
A.just for the benefit of the National Park Service |
B.either to limit the number of visitors or to pay for the cleaner |
C.not only to protect the animals but to reduce the noise pollution |
D.merely for the development of the national parks |
A.People are not supposed to visit the national parks for fear that they will harm the animals. |
B.Only if more man-made tourist attractions are built will more people visit the parks. |
C.It is reasonable to keep the balance between the development of the parks and the reserve. |
D.People will not visit the national parks since there are no golf courses and resorts. |
A.High fees may probably keep some people out of parks. |
B.Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer. |
C.The bus will become the only tool in parks with the purpose of pollution reduction. |

举一反三
The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out. A lot of them choose to eat in the brightly lighted restaurant near the pool. And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years.
Ellen, like most of the waitresses, is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, but she’s planning one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn.
Ellen soon learned what every waitress finds out. Your best friend has a good pair of shoes. She paid forty -five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. She’s discovered something else too. You don’t have to know much about food to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.
“A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan,” she explains. “They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who can’t make up their minds. They look down the menu and say‘What do you suggest?’So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say, ‘Not very’, I suggest the salad bar, with soup, salad, bread, and a fruit plate. But if they say they’re very hungry, I suggest a Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well. It’s very nice. Real good value.”
Ellen may get tired feet sometimes, but at least she’s learning too much about people. She’ll probably make a good animal doctor, but if she find she doesn’t like it after all, she can always become a psychiatrist(心理医生)instead.

Grace — made famous by the Hollywood star Grace Kelly — slipped back into third place behind Ruby, the name of singer Charlotte Church’s daughter.
Summer climbed 28 places from 44th to 16th. Ava — the name of singer Myleene Klass’s daughter — also leapt 15 places to 19th.
The troubles of the singer Amy Winehouse perhaps had an effect on the popularity of the name. It dropped three places to 23rd. Rebecca is also on the wane(变弱), ranking 48th. So is Courtney, which ranked 88th.
Theo, obviously inspired by England’s teenage football hero Theo Walcott, is among the biggest climbers in the boy’s list, rising from 70th to 58th.
An employee of Bounty said, “Baby names have witnessed the biggest changes over the last decade as parents are increasingly influenced by celebrities. The Bounty baby name poll also shows parents are continuing to be creative and inspirational about the names they choose for their children. Some parents want a name that’s totally unique, and names such as Zebedee, Selim and Zenon are now emerging and growing in popularity. Others are simply breaking with convention and becoming bolder in their choice of names.”
“While politicians’ names may be growing in popularity in America, British politicians don’t influence our choice of names in the UK. Traditional royal names continue to be supreme(最高的) in the boys’ top 100,” The employee said.

In many cities in the United States, for instance, it is not legal to “jaywalk.” This law may seem strange to visitors. Sometimes they cross a street, and a police officer gives them a ticket. Then they need to pay a fine of $10 to $25. They soon learn to cross a street only in a crosswalk or at a corner. It’s against the law to cross in the middle of the street.
Most people know that states in the United States have different laws about the legal drinking age; this age varies, but in most states no one under twenty-one can buy alcohol, even beer or wine. Also, in most U.S. cities, it is illegal to drink alcohol in public. Of course, liquor is legal in restaurants and bars, but it’s against the law to drink a can of beer, for instance, on a public street. Some people put the can in a paper bag and drink; nobody can see the beer, but it still isn’t legal. In addition, it is illegal to have an open liquor bottle inside a car.
小题1: We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ______.
A.it is legal to steal money in some countries |
B.Peru and Korea have completely different laws |
C.there may be different local laws in a country |
D.an Asian city and a European city can’t have the same law |
A.to talk with others while crossing a street |
B.to have a drink while crossing a street |
C.to cross in the middle of the street |
D.to cross a street at a corner |
A.Selling a can of beer to teenagers. |
B.Having a bottle of wine in a Chinese restaurant. |
C.Having an open bottle of beer inside a car. |
D.Drinking a can of beer in a street without being seen. |
Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration(登记)card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
With so many loopholes (漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.
小题1: The underlined words in this passage means to “______”.
A.be ready to help others | B.make good use of one’s friends |
C.be a little ahead of others | D.gain something at other’s expense |
A.While taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off without first paying your fare. |
B.In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if you’re living in the hotel. |
C.The bosses in Finland pay the employees according to registration of their working hours. |
D.The workers are always honest with their working hours. |
A.the Finnish society is of very high moral (道德) level |
B.there are many loopholes in everyday life in Finland |
C.in Finland, most taxi drivers will not charge you anything |
D.everyone in Finland is like a gentleman, for they have faith in themselves |
A.Life in Finland | B.A Society with “Foolish” People |
C.What a Life | D.Honest accounts of the Finns |
