2．Ecotourism
Ecotourism is a responsible way to travel to natural areas which protects the environment and improves the income of the local people．For example，a walk through the rainforest is not ecotourism unless that particular walk helps the environment and the people who live there．A rafting trip （漂流旅行）is only ecotourism if it makes travelers understand the idea of protecting the area．
Adventure Travel
Adventure travel is an unusual experience which includes some level of risk and uncertainty，and may include some unusual means of transport．This kind of tourism is often divided into"soft"and"hard"adventure holidays．Soft adventures have a lower level of risk，have greater comfort and are less physically tiring．Hard adventures have very basic accommodation（住宿） and greater physical challenges，such as mountain climbing，backpacking or river expeditions（探险）．
Sustainable（可持续的）Tourism
This includes any form of tourism that does not influence the environment or stop other travelers from enjoying the same experience．
Responsible Tourism
Responsible tourism operates to reduce any influence by the tourists on the environment．A camping trip which aims to pick up all its rubbish leaving none behind would be considered responsible tourism．
Naturebased Tourism
Naturebased tourism is any holiday that concentrates on one part of nature such as a birdwatching holiday．
Green Tourism
Green tourism is any accommodation for a holiday which operates in an environmentally friendly way．
Multisport Adventures
These holidays concentrate on physical outdoor activities．Rafting，riding，mountain biking，climbing，surfing，diving，etc，may all be offered on this kind of holiday．

1．It is often argued that one of the most common differences between the British and American sense of humour is that Americans don't understand irony （反语）．Simon Pegg explores this topic in depth in his article What are you laughing at？He concludes that this statement isn't true and I quite agree with him．
One of the differences seems to be how often both nations use irony．The British use irony on a daily basis，whereas Americans don't．I think Americans understand British irony； what they don't understand is the need to use it so frequently．When Americans use irony they want to tate that they are"only kidding"．They feel the need to make a joke more obvious than the British do；maybe this results from a fear of offending people．
I think the differences between the British and American sense of humour arise from a cultural difference between the two．American jokes are more open，a bit like Americans themselves．British jokes，on the other hand，are more reserved （含蓄的）．There is usually a hidden meaning．
Certain American comedies have gained huge success in Britain and vice versa （反之亦然）．Therefore，although there are differences between both comic styles，there is still an appreciation and understanding of the other sense of humour．Both the British and American versions （版本） of the comedy The Office are hugely successful on both sides of the Atlantic．Both shows have their own cultural differences，yet they describe a lifestyle which both Americans and the British can relate to in a similar way．

19．The huge fortunes made by the world's richest 100billionaires are increasing inequality and making it difficult for the world to tackle （ handle） poverty，according to Oxfam．
The charity said the accumulation of wealth and income often led to a reduction in secure jobs and decent wages for the poorest people．This made it more difficult for people who survive on aid or low wages to improve their situation and escape poverty．
Oxfam said the world's poorest could be taken out of poverty several times over if the richest 100billionaires would give away the money they made in 2012．
Without naming anyone，the charity argued that the 240bn made in 2012by the richest 100billionaires would be enough to end extreme poverty four times over．
It is unusual for charities to attack the wealthy，because they are usually seen as a source of money．Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are among a group of 40US billionaires who have said they will give much of their wealth to aid projects，but there is little detail about the level of their annual donations．Russian，Middle Eastern or Chinese billionaires have not promised to do the same．
In the report，The Cost of Inequality：How Wealth and Income Extremes Hurt Us All，published just before the World Economic Forum in Davos，the charity asks world leaders to commit to reducing inequality to at least 1990levels．
The report found that the richest 1% had increased their incomes by 60% in the past 20years．And the financial crisis has sped up，not slowed，the process．
Barbara Stocking，Oxfam's Chief Executive，said studies show that countries suffer low levels of investment and growth as workers are forced to survive on a smaller share of total incomes．
She said："We can no longer pretend that the creation of wealth for a few will benefit the many-too often the reverse is true．"
The report said the issue affected all parts of the world．"In the UK，inequality is rapidly returning to levels not seen since the nineteenth century．In China，the top 10% now earn nearly 60% of the income．Chinese inequality levels are now similar to those in South Africa，which is now the most unequal country on Earth．"
In the US，the share of national income going to the top 1% has doubled since 1980from 10to 20%，the report says．
Members of the richest 1% are estimated to cause as much as 10，000times more pollution than the average US citizen．
Oxfam said world leaders should learn from countries such as Brazil，which has grown rapidly while reducing inequality．
Stocking said："We need to reverse decades of increasing inequality．As a first step，world leaders should formally agree to reduce inequality to the levels seen in 1990．"
She said closing tax havens，which holds as much as 31trillion，or as much as a third of all global wealth，could collect 189bn in additional taxes．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS）
78．According to Oxfam only60bn dollars would be needed to tackle world poverty．
79．Why do Oxfam especially criticize billionaires in China，Russia and the Middle East？
They have not promised their wealth to aid projects．
80．In what way is it claimed that billionaires cause environmental damage？
They pollute far more than the average person．
81．What one action could relieve much of the poverty in the world？
Closing tax havens．

18．How many articles are there about making money online？Thousands？Millions？Enough？Probably．But too many of them are just sales pitches（托辞）to convince you to sign up for some seminar（研讨班），webinar（在线会议），training session or some other way to become an online millionaire．（16）E．But there are legitimate（合法的；正当的）ways to make money online．And you've got to work from home or turn an idea into a business．
Many are real jobs that require you to put in hours if you want to get paid．（17）B：
Take it seriously．You can do the work in your underwear，but that doesn't mean it's not a"real job"．You must treat it seriously，or they aren't going to treat you as a serious candidate．You aren't the only one who wants to work in their underwear．（18）G．
Be professional．（19）D．Write in complete sentences with proper grammar．Of course，there will be exceptions，but if so，you must keep it professional．You're building their view of you．
Give some，but not all．Whether you're providing writing
samples，a photography portfolio（文件夹） or links to your work，give them enough examples，but not so many that they don't even know where to start．Make sure everything you send to a company，whether a résumé，an email or a portfolio，is good to go．Double check your grammar and wording．（20）C．Don't spell their name wrong and be sure to type it how they type it．

A．I'm going to tell you about some legitimate ways to make money online
