On the first morning of her visit, as she walked from the hotel to the market, she passed a beggar(乞丐). He was holding up a notice, which said, “Blind from birth. Please give generously(慷慨地).”
Julia felt sorry for the blind beggar and she bent down and put a dollar coin into his bowl. “Thank you.” he said.
The same thing happened again the following day.
On the third day, however, Julia did not have a dollar coin. She had only fifty cents, so she dropped this into the beggar’s bowl.
“What have I done wrong?” the beggar said, “Why are you so stingy today? ”
Julia was very surprised at what the beggar said. “How do you know I haven't given you a dollar?” she said, “If you’re blind you can’t know what coin I put into your bowl.”
“Ah, ” explained the beggar, “The truth is that I'm not blind. I'm just looking after this place for the regular beggar while he’s on holiday.”

28、Ecotourism(生态旅游): A Different Way to Travel
Are you attracted to obscure(偏远的)places? Do you prefer to vacation away from other tourists? Are you careful to take only memories and to leave only footprints? If you answered yes to more than one of these questions, you just might be an ecotourist.
Ecotourists are people who want to experience the unspoiled natural world and leave it that way when they return home. This trend started in the 1990s and ecotourism is now growing three times faster than the tourism industry at large. The Ecuador’s remote Amazon Basin(盆地) is contributing to that expansion, and it gives a snapshot of what ecotourism looks like.
At the Ecolodge, a small group of cabins(小屋) sits Kapawi Ecolodge in the middle of the Achuar people’s reserve(保护区) and is only reached by air. From here, visitors can explore parts of the Amazon rainforest seen by few outsiders. As they do local Achuar guides explain how the forest is like their supermarket, where they find food, clothing, medicine and tools. As a result, tourists learn to appreciate the local culture as well as the natural environment.
The owners of Kapawi pay monthly rent to the Achuar people, but they also train the community to run and manage the lodge. They have agreed on a plan to turn the operation over to the Achuar completely by 2011.The owners are working to make ecotourism benefit and empower the local people.
You probably won’t start your own ecolodge, but you can be an ecotourist if you follow these guidelines: Protect the environment; Support local businesses; Respect the local customs and traditions.
The world is full of fascinating places to visit. As an ecotourist, you can enjoy them yourself and make sure that they remain beautiful for future generations as well.
【1】According to the text, the ecotourists should be________.
A. those who like to experience the easily-remembered natural environment

B. reach there by air
C. live in the Achuar reserve
D. see many travelers from outside

31、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A few years ago, I enjoyed my summer vacation at New York’s Harriman State Park with a good friend. The place 【1】 we were going to was the beautiful Lake Sebago. It was certainly a nice place with tent platforms, a number of kayaks and swimming areas. It was quite 【2】(convenience) for us to fish there.
As soon as we reached the best nearby fishing spot, my friend began unloading the baggage, and passed me a fishing pole with a piece of red cloth attached 【3】 it. I positioned the pole in what I considered 【4】 (be) the perfect place and tried to cast (扔) the line in the water. After just a few failed tries, I finally had it down. Soon a 10-inch bluegill(蓝腮太阳鱼)caught it. Feeling excited but nervous, I pulled it up. The water was rather shallow (浅), so the fish wasn’t able to sink down or really run with the line. Even though it jumped out of the water several times during my struggle with this very first fish, I was still able to hold on 【5】 (patient).
At this time, my friend began running around the dock like a child madly in search of something. I never realized what that reaction was about until he shouted at me, looking very 【6】 (excite), “Hey, man, congratulations to you. This is the biggest fish that 【7】(catch) by us since half a year ago.”
I caught a total of six fish that day. There are many 【8】 (benefit) from fishing beside a lake or a river. It is both an 【9】(recreate) and an entertainment. I will never be fed 【10】 with such an outdoor activity.
