22、Cruise ships（邮轮）are becoming more and more popular, with around 20 million passengers every year now enjoying holidays through the way. Many people regard this as a perfect way to enjoy time off work. But what is the influence on the environment?

Cruise ships are often large, with the biggest ones carrying up to 6, 000 passengers. Moving such large cruise ships needs as much as 300, 000 liter（升）of fuel（燃料）a day. Cruise ships create as much pollution as 5 million cars going over the same miles. Because they are out at sea, they also burn dirtier fuel that isn’t allowed on land. Unluckily, no government has controlled the air pollution out at sea. Cruise ships also produce（制造）plenty of rubbish, and cruise ships aren’t good at recycling（再循环）. Waste water from showers and toilets is usually poured directly into the sea, as much every day as from a small town. Waste food isn’t put into the sea, but still cause problems when being brought back to land.

Cruise ships also cause difficulties in the cities where they stop. Popular places can get 5 or 6 ships every day, with thousands of tourists at a time. Good for restaurants? No. Restaurant owners complain（抱怨）the visitors look around for several hours and then always return to their ship to eat. What’s more, the tourists often complain the streets are too busy.

Some towns have prohibited（禁止）cruise ships. People who care about the environment worry that our planet will be more polluted as the cruise industry（工业）continues to grow.

23、In the world today, all of the people need to have fun when they are free. We can’t work all the time if we are going to keep healthy and enjoy life.
