21、 Community-based tourism (CBT) is a type of sustainable (可持续的) tourism where residents invite travellers to visit or stay in their communities with the purpose of providing an experience of the local cultures and traditions. These communities are often rural and economically struggling, and CBT gives them the opportunity to take full ownership of their area's individualized tourist industry as business owners, managers, service providers, and employees. Most importantly, it ensures that the economic benefits go directly towards local families.
Surveys show that travellers are becoming more interested in sustainable travel trends and supporting small businesses and unique communities. An American Express poll of travellers in Australia, Canada, India, Japan, Mexico, and the U. K. found that68% plan to be more aware of sustainable travel companies, while 72% want to help improve tourism revenue (收入) in the local economies of the destinations they visit.
CBT differs slightly from ecotourism and voluntourism. Rather than focusing specifically on nature or charity, CBT is meant to benefit the community and its environments as a whole. From the traveller's perspective. CBT offers the chance to immerse (沉浸) oneself in local cultures and participate in a completely unique tourism experience.
Responsible Travel, a UK-based activism company that has fostered sustainable travel opportunities since 2001, says that CBT can enable tourists to discover cultures and wildlife, they might not have experienced in traditional travel situations. “For many, there is nothing like making a connection with people whose lives are so very different to our own,” the organization writes. “Traditional communities often have far more to teach us about our society and our life than we can teach them about our world.”
CBT is often developed by the destination's local government but can also get assistance from non-profit organizations, other community numbers, private funding, or even partnerships with travel companies. Most of the time, community-based tourism projects are successful due to cooperation between the community and some kind of1ourisn experts.

【3】What's the last paragraph mainly about?
A.How CBT works.
B.How people like CBT.

23、阅读理解
Anyone can try to lead a group, but not every individual is cut out for leadership. The better leaders possess a few qualities that can mean the difference between the success and failure of the group. These are the qualities the leader of higher rank will look for when choosing a leader for a group, or when evaluating the performance of a leader. They're also the qualities team members want in a group leader, and appreciate when they find them.
Take Responsibility
Group leaders might share tasks around a group as necessary, but eventually a group leader needs to be able to accept that responsibility lies on her shoulders. That means that if things go wrong in a group project, she's the one who must accept the consequences and work out what mistakes were made. The group leader won't always have the power to control everything group members do, but she should be ready to admit any mistakes the group has made as a result of her leadership.
Concern for Members
The group leader has a commitment to the task or project at hand, but perhaps more importantly, he has a real concern for each and every person who is part of his group. This means getting to know the strengths, weaknesses and goals of team members, as well as making time to build the group through collective activities. The group leader should make sure that everyone is included, even if an individual is new to a group.
Good Listener
The group leader needs to be able to listen to the suggestions, complaints (抱怨) and ideas of group members. Not only will this allow complaints to be addressed and potentially suitable ideas to be put into practice, but a leader who listens will also encourage group members to share their concerns and thoughts, creating an atmosphere of free speech and productivity.
【1】The passage is mainly about____________.
A. choosing a good leader for a group.
B. assessing the performance of a leader.
C. qualities of a good group leader.
D. team members’ appreciation of a leader.
【2】A good leader should always be able to_______.
A. tell when things go wrong in a group project.
B. control everything group members do.

【4】Which of the following is not the benefit of being a good listener?
