14.Many people think a telephone is a necessity.But I think it is of great harm and a time waste.Very often you find it impossible to escape from it.If you have a telephone in your own house,you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring:when you are asleep or in the middle of a meal or a conversation,or when you are just going out,or when you are in your bath.Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it?You are not.You think there may be some important news or message for you.I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later.Have you ever gone to answer a telephone in a hurry from the bath,or from the table,or from the bed,only to be told that you are a wrong number?But you will say,you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory,and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls.Besides,you will say,isn't it important to have a telephone in case of sudden emergency---illness,accident,or fire?Of course,you are right,but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.
I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what I like is good.I admit that in different circumstances---if I were a wealthy and powerful businessperson,for instance,or badly ill and had to lie in bed.I might find a telephone a necessity.But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car a necessity.Let me put it another way:there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent:one is mechanical invention,the other literature.My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them.For I have had just been handed a piece of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone.I think I had better answer it.After all,one never knows,it may be something important.

Evidence of leisure travel can be traced as far back as ancient Babylon.This year,according to the World Travel & Tourism Council,the 1billionth tourist will cross an international boundary before the end of this month.That means that one in seven people on the planet traveled this year,something that would not have been possible a few decades ago.Around 20years ago only the rich could travel.
While the US and France remain the two largest destinations for world travel,experts say much of the explosive growth in tourism has been to countries like Guatemala,the Dominican Republic,and the Ivory Coast,which weren't even on the world tourism map a decade ago.The top five destinations in the world,according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization,are Paris,London,New York,the Mediterranean,Turkey.
Several factors have led to the boom in world travel.The prosperity (富裕) of people in Asia is one factor.People in Asian developing countries have lifted their incomes above middle-class levels in the past few years.And a lot of them have used their new wealth to travel.In addition,travel costs have been reduced thanks to the rapid development of transportation,and competition between airlines to give customers the best prices.
