21、Green tourism, a form of ecotourism, is low-impact tourism with an eye toward protecting the environment and culture of an area. As the number of tourists traveling the world has been increasing, green tourism is getting more and more popular.
In some areas, green tourism is not only preferable but a necessity. It might seem wiser to some people to protect natural habitats and fragile (脆弱的)environments by banning visitors completely to these areas. 【1】 Green, sustainable tourism is considered to have offered the best of both worlds, protecting the ecology of an area while keeping local schools and businesses booming.
Green tourism doesn’t necessarily mean a vacation spent with little or no comfort.【2】 Ecotourism exists in almost every style and taste. From gray water recycling systems to tents on tree house, there are numerous vacationing options. Simple efforts can go toward “greening up” a standard vacation, such as keeping to pointed pathways,【3】 and visiting cultural areas instead of typical tourist attractions.
A very green holiday can be spent studying the plants, animals and cultural heritage of the area, as well as learning ways to protect and preserve it. Tourists can experience all that an arca has to offer,【4】.
【5】They can help to build a school or perform other services that benefit the area and preserve the natural habitat. These vacations can be a lot of work, but many people find them to be very rewarding and interesting learning experiences.
A.It can be well worth doing
B.It can be a wonderful adventure
C.Green tourism could easily become the standard
D.eating where locally grown cuisine is served
E.making little or no impact on the environment
F.Many areas, however, depend on the income from tourism to support the local economy
G.There are also trips available in which vacationers improve the local area actively
22、In principle, it sounds simple: eat less and move more. This dietary advice for handling obesity has been around for decades. Yet, despite all the calorie counting, dieting and exercising, worldwide obesity rates just keep soaring up. In a recent paper, researchers question the basic assumption of whether taking in more calories than you burn really is the primary cause of obesity. They argue that the evidence actually points the other way: we are driven to overeat because we are getting fatter.
This may seem incredible, but consider the rapid adolescent growth. As their growth rate speeds up, teenagers may eat much more than they used to. Does this “overeating” cause the rapid growth?
Or does the rapid growth make teens hungrier so they eat more? Clearly the latter, as adults won’t grow taller, no matter how much they eat. A few hours after eating a high-carb meal, the number of calories in the blood stream drops dramatically, so we get hungrier sooner. From this perspective, the difficulty resisting hunger that so many dieters have isn’t a sign of poor discipline, but rather a biological problem involving how our bodies distribute the calories we consume. A low-calorie, low-fat diet further restricts an already limited supply of energy, worsening hunger without addressing the underlying tendency to store too many calories in body fat. Consequently, weight loss becomes a battle between mind and metabolism (新陈代谢) that most people will probably lose.
Although much more research will be needed to test this controversial idea, it is time to question the basic assumptions about cause and effect, calories and weight gain that have dominated our thinking for decades.
【1】What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A.It is extremely tough to deal with overweight.
B.Eating less and moving more will make you lose weight.
C.We are forced to eat more food because we are getting fatter.
D.Taking in more calories than you burn is the main cause of obesity.
【2】Why is it difficult for dieters to resist hunger according to the text?
A.Because the dieters are fond of eating a high-carb meal.
B.Because some of the dieters are weak in self-discipline.
C.Because the number of calories in the blood drops dramatically.
D.Because the case is more related to the distribution of calories taken in.
【3】What can we learn about a low-calorie, low-fat diet according to Paragraph 3?
A.It causes people to feel hungrier.
B.It solves the tendency for too much fat.
C.It provides the energy people need.
D.It makes people lose their metabolism.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the cause and effect between calories and weight gain?
A.Supportive.
B.Doubtful.
C.Objective.
D.Indifferent.

24、Helping and supporting others may be key to living a longer and healthier life, according to a new research from the University of Bagel in Switzerland. The findings published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, show that grandparents who care for their grandchildren enjoy longer lifespans. So do old people who care for others within their social networks.
Using data from the Berlin Aging Study, the researchers analyzed the longevity(寿命) and caregiving habits of more than 500 old people between the ages of 70 and 103. The study compared grandparents who acted as occasional caregivers with those who did not. It also compared these grandparents with old adults who did not have grandchildren but cared for people within their social networks.
Those grandparents who did not play the role of attending to grandchildren were more likely to have died within just five years of the testing period. While those old adults who provided, support to their family lived for an extra seven years on average and those provided support to their social networks lived for an extra four years on average.
Although the new study only focused on old adults, it's safe to assume that the health benefits of helping and taking care of others also reach those of all ages. However, it's important to note that too much caregiving often has just the opposite effect. There's a clear link between too much caregiving and a number of negative physical and mental health consequences.
【1】How many groups of old people are involved in the study?
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Four.
D.Five.
【2】What does the research show?
A.Old people are more likely to support others.
B.Grandparents live longer than childless old adults.
C.Supporting others prevents diseases of old patients.
D.Helping others properly has a good effect on health.
【3】What does the last paragraph imply?
A.Reducing earegiving can avoid bad health.
B.It's a good quality of all ages to be helpful.
C.Caregiving is not always beneficial to health.
D.Mental disorder is often caused by much caregiving.
