4.What's your dream vacation?Watching wildlife in Kenya?Boating down the Amazon?Sunbathing in Malaysia?New chances are opening up all the time to visit the world.So we visit travel companies,compare prices,and pay our money.We know what our vacation costs us.But do we know what it might cost someone else?It's true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income.Unfortunately,though,tourism often harms the local(本地的) people more than it helps them.
It might cost their homes and lands.In Myanmar,5,200people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔) in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.
Tourism might also cost the local people their jobs and dignity(尊严).Local workers often find only low-paying jobs in the tourist industry.And most of the money do not help the local economy(经济).Instead,money return to the tour operators in richer countries,When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands,some moved to poor places of the city.Others now make a little money selling things or acting for photos.
Problems like these were noticed more than 20years ago.But now tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them.Tourists,too,are putting on the pressure.
The result is"ethical(合乎职业道德的)tourism".Ethical tourism has people at its heart.New international agreements and rules can help protect the people's lands,homes,economies and cultures.The beginnings are small,though,and the problems are complex(复杂的).
But take heart..The good news is that everyone,including us,can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit.Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn the money they should get.
They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel,restaurants and guide services.They can share some money to help the local economy.And they can help the local people plan and manage tourism.
What can tourists do?First,we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local people.We can then make our choices and tell them why.And while we're abroad,we can:
Buy local foods and products.
Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.
Ask before taking photographs of people.
They are not just part of the scenery!
Let's enjoy our vacation and make sure others do,too.

The first time I saw Suzy Khan,I knew I had to help her.She was really small for her age of 12.The boys in my class often laughed at her.She would open a(31)B,pretending to read,with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa.She had just been adopted (收养 ) by a family,and they thought that the best way for her to(32)A American ways of life is to be with American kids.I looked(33)C at this small girl and promised myself that I must help her.
But how could I help her fit in with us?There had to be a way.
One day,when I went into the classroom,I saw that Suzy had opened her geography book to a picture of a train,and in her notebook,she had made a perfect(34)A.
I was surprised and thought that she could do (35)A in the coming talent show.So,I took her to see the art teacher,Miss Parker,and showed her what Suzy had drawn."Why,it's(36)D,"said Miss Parker,and then showed us a poster she had painted for the talent show."I need more of these,but I just don't have enough time.Could you help me,Suzy?
On the day of the talent show,Suzy's (37)C were everywhere----all over the hall and all over the school,each one different.
"And (38)B,"said Mr.Brown,the schoolmaster,at the end of the show,"We have a special award.I'm sure you've all noticed the wonderful posters."Everyone nodded."One of our own students painted them."
I could hear everyone whispering."Who in our school could (39)A that well?"
Mr.Brown waited a while before saying,"Since this student worked so hard on the posters,she deserves a prize,too.Our mystery (神秘) artist is our new student----Suzy Khan!"
Mr.Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist's set."Thank you,"she cried.
I realized,at that time when I was looking at her (40)D face,she'd probably never owned anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to clap their hands.Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile.I knew then Suzy was going to be all right."
