NEW DELHI, India （AP）―India is fast becoming a top destination for tourists thanks to a forceful campaign to push the country’s Himalayan spas（矿泉名胜） and beaches, officials say.

Tourism officials have been crisscrossing the globe as part of the government’s “Incredible India” campaign launched in 2003. And the results are beginning to show. Tourists traveling to India have jumped by nearly 26 percent from last year and the number is expected to cross 3 million this year, said Amitabh Kant, chairman of the India Tourism Development Corp.

“Foreign exchange earnings, too, have shown a nearly 40 percent rise this year,” Kant told The Associated Press.

India’s earnings from tourism were $4.3 billion between January and November 2004, compared to $3.1 billion for the same period of 2003.

“Tourist figures are looking up, especially after the way the travel magazines are praising India,” Renuka Choudhury, India’s tourism minister, told reporters just before leaving for Spain and Italy to push the “Incredible India” campaign.

Conde Nast Traveler ranked India sixth among the world’s top 10 destinations in its annual readers’ traveler awards. India won top points for its cultural diversity, hospitality and good value for money.

Lonely Planet Online, the Website of the guidebook series, described India as among the top five international holiday destinations along with Thailand, Italy, Australia and New Zealand.

The “Incredible India” campaign focuses on the country’s scores of small, largely unexplored tourist spots, as well as India’s traditional healing arts. However, Choudhury noted at least 22 airports are being upgraded, with better signs, modern toilets, lounges and duty free shops. A tourist police force has been set up at airports, railway and bus terminals.

Malnutrition (营养失调)remains a serious problem for India. But a new study shows that India’s leading causes of death now also include diseases related to obesity （肥胖）such as heart disease.

India’s National Family Health Survey shows that more than twenty percent of Indians living in cities are overweight or obese. And in the northwestern state of Punjab, that is true for almost forty percent of women.

Aradhna Tripathi is a business professional in New Delhi. She said, “ Eating is the most important thing in any Indian household and how you show your love and gratitude(感激) for a person is through the kind of food you serve him. And the kind of lifestyle we are leading is one of the reasons why we have the number of obese people increasing every day.

But Aradhna Tripathi says she has decided to lose weight. Her mother and grandmother are also diabetic(患糖尿病的). In fact, the International Diabetes Federation says India is now the diabetes capital of the world. Researchers say Indians store more body fat per kilogram than Europeans. That means obese Indians are even more at the risk of diabetes than other people.

Doctor Anoop Misra at Fortis Hospital in New Delhi says the risk of diabetes is crossing social and economic lines. Five years ago, he says, obesity and diabetes were limited to India’s richest people, but now things have changed.

But Doctor Misra is hopeful that the spread (蔓延，传播)of obesity can be slowed. And he says it must start in schools by giving all Indian children the same instruction on physical activity and diet.

The World Health Organization says China is also moving up in obesity rates. The estimate (估计) has reached about five percent countryside and as high as twenty percent in some cities.

What is this passage mainly about?

A. Obesity has become a big killer in India.

B. Heart disease is troubling people in India.

C. People in India live a very unhealthy life.

D.Malnutrition remains a serious problem in India.

According to Aradhna Tripathi , one of the causes of the obesity problems is_________.

A. .the development of economy

B. the change of Indians’ lifestyle

C. Indians’ attitude （态度）towards eating

D. Indians’ attitude towards obesity.

What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5?

A. Most wealthy people in India are overweight.

B. Five years ago, few people in India were overweight

C. Few poor people are diabetic for economic reasons.

D. Now even the poor in India suffer from obesity.

Most mornings, the line begins to form at dawn: scores of silent women with babies on their backs, buckets balanced on their heads, and in each hand a bright-blue plastic jug. On good days, they will wait less than an hour before a water tanker goes across the dirt path that serves as a road in Kesum Purbahari, a slum on the southern edge of New Delhi. On bad days, when there is no electricity for the pumps, the tankers don’t come at all. “That water kills people,” a young mother named Shoba said one recent Saturday morning, pointing to a row of pails filled with thick, caramel (焦糖)-colored liquid. “Whoever drinks it will die.” The water was from a pipe shared by thousands of people in the poor neibourhood. Women often use it to wash clothes and bathe their children, but nobody is desperate enough to drink it.

　　There is no standard for how much water a person needs each day, but experts usually put the minimum at fifty litres. The government of India promises (but rarely provides) forty. Most people drink two or three litres—less than it takes to wash a toilet. The rest is typically used for cooking and bathing. Americans consume between four hundred and six hundred litres of water each day, more than any other people on earth. Most Europeans use less than half that. The women of Kesum Purbahari each hoped to drag away a hundred litres that day—two or three buckets’ worth. Shoba has a husband and five children, and that much water doesn’t go far in a family of seven, particularly when the temperature reaches a hundred and ten degrees before noon. She often makes up the difference with bottled water, which costs more than water delivered any other way. Sometimes she just buys milk; it’s cheaper. Like the poorest people everywhere, the people of New Delhi’s slums spend a far greater percentage of their incomes on water than anyone lucky enough to live in a house connected to a system of pipes.

1.The underlined word “slum” most likely means ______.

A. a village

B. a small town

C. the part of a town that lacks water badly

D. an area of a town with badly-built, over-crowded buildings

2.Sometimes the water tanker doesn’t come because ______.

A. there is no electricity B. the weather is bad

C. there is no water D. people don’t want the dirty water

3.A person needs at least ________ litres of water a day.

A. forty B. four hundred C. a hundred D. fifty

4.The passage mainly tells us ______.

A. how India government manages to solve the problem of water gets their water

B. how women in Kesum Purbahari

C. how much water a day a person deeds

D. that India lacks water badly

On the evening of June 21, 1992, a tall man with brown hair and blue eyes entered the beautiful hall of the Bell Tower Hotel in Xi’an with his bicycle.

Narasimha Das is on his way to feed 169,379 hungry children. Das is in charge of a kitchen in Vrindaban. The town is about a three-hour drive from India’s capital, New Delhi. Das gets to work at 3:00 a.m. Thirty workers are already working to make tens of thousands of rounds of bread. It will be brought to 1,516 schools in and around Vrindaban.

A Growing Problem

Going to school is difficult for more than 13 million children in India. They must go to work instead, or go hungry. That’s why India began the Mid-Day Meal Scheme, the largest school-lunch program in the world. A free lunch encourages children to come to school and gives them the energy they need for learning. The program began in the 1960s.

The kitchen in Vrindaban is run by the Akshaya Patra Foundation. It is one of the lunch program’s biggest partners. “Just $11.50 can feed one child for an entire year,” said Madhu Sridhar, president of the Akshaya Patra Foundation.

Lunch Is Served!

The Akshaya Patra food truck arrives at Gopalgarh Primary School. Since the program started, the number of underweight children has gone down. The children get foods they need — as long as they finish what’s on their plates.

1.The kitchen in Vrindaban supplies food to _____.

A．the poor B．the old

C．college students D．school children

2.Why is it difficult for children to go to school in India?
