If the world were a village of 1 000 people it would include:

·124 Africans

·95 Eastern and Western Europeans

·84 Latin Americans

·55 former Soviets(including Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, and other national groups)

The people of the village would speak:

·86 English

·83 Hindu/Urdu

·64 Spanish

·58 Russian

·37 Arabic

The above list covers the mother tongues of only half the village.

One-third of the people in the village are children, and only 60 are over the age of 65.Just under half of the married women in the village have access to modern equipment.

This year 28 babies will be born. Ten people will die, three of them for lack of food, one from cancer. Two of the deaths will be of babies born within the year. With the 28 births and ten deaths, the population of the village next year will be 1 018.

In this village of 1 000 persons, 200 people receive 75 percent of the income; another 200 receive only 2 percent of the income.

About one-third have access to clean, safe drinking water.

Of the 670 adults in the village, half can not read nor write.

$181 000 goes to weapons and warfare

$159 000 to education

　　Many people like the feeling of the gentle wind in spring．Many like to see the falling leaves dancing in the wind in autumn．But sometimes, when the wind becomes a storm, it can be very destructive(毁灭性的)．

　　A series of such storms struck the US last month and caused very serious damage and human pain．

　　Every year, major storms cause many problems around the world．There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature．But new techniques are helping scientists to predict(预测)how, when, and where big storms will happen．The more exact scientists' warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms．

　　Predictions are improving．“We've gotten better over the years, especially the last few years,”says Phil Klotzback, a scientist at an American university．How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction．“For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right,”Klotzback says．

　　First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air．As it rises, the vapor(水蒸气)cools and turns back into liquid．This process gives off heat．This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase．It drives the formation(形成)of a hurricane．

　　If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a“tropical storm”(热带风暴), and it gets a name．At 75 miles per hour, it becomes a hurricane．

　　Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast of Africa．Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world．

　　On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year．About 10 of them get names．There are usually about six hurricanes．Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or higher．

　　The hurricane season lasts from June to November．Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in August, September, and October．

     Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. 　  1  . If tourists create too much traffic, the
inhabitants become angry and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They
forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a
destination country and how tourism affects them. 　  2  . 　　
     Tourism should also improve the health and happiness of the local inhabitants. 　　
     Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to
work in the tourism industry. 　  3  . 　　
     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. 　  4  . If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the
hotel 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 to handle waste, and water.　   5   . If they are not used because there are
not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
A. This means other parts of the country's economy can suffer 　　
B. Tourism can bring a lot of benefits 　　
C. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants
   (the people living there) of a country 　　
D. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars
    per room to build 　　
E. All of these support facilities cost money 　　
F. Therefore, tourism plays an important part in local economy 　　
G. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists
