摘要：25．The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will . A. waste a lot of money B. weaken their economy C. help establish their customs D. help improve their life B When Andrea Peterson landed her first teaching job, she faced the daunting task of creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standards-based learning was the focus and music just provided a break for students and teachers． For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges, she’s been named national teacher of the year． Principal Waynes Kettler said he’s worked with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator, but Peterson is “just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before． Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music． When students were reading S．E．Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a 30-minute play with scenes from the book．Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused on race, equality and social justice, the themes of the book．Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book． The honor means a lot to residents of Granite Foils．It’s inspiring to know that people from small towns even win national honors． As national teacher of the year, Peterson will spend the more years outside the classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education． Not surprisingly, she is a big believer in the value of arts education. She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as art or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that attracts them to come back to school day after day．

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, air terminals, firstclass roads, and other support facilities（配套设施）needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism 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 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. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
