Without planning tourism(旅游业) can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd pubic places that are also enjoyed by the people there. If tourists create too much traffic, the people there become angry and unhappy. They began to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy (经济).It is important to think about how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the culture and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should be also helpful for the health and happiness of local people.

Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.

On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, first - class roads, and other support facilities (设施) needed by tourist attractions. For example, a large hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.

Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support. facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers (下水道) to handle waste and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.

Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.

We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true but it's a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference.


When we always stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知),which too often leads to prejudice (偏见) and even fear? If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons.

Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don't just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That's how we live an exciting life.

A. is like themselves

2 People like staying in their comfort zone because they may           

A.    remain comfortable and special

3 What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To tell us just to be ourselves in social life.

B. To introduce ways to learn about the world.

C. To explain how people communicate with others.

D. To encourage us to meet people of different kinds.
