Is this your idea of paradise (天堂) or would you prefer something different?

Nowadays, many of us try to live in a way that will harm the environment as little as possible. We recycle our newspapers and bottles, we take public transport to get to work. And we want to take these attitudes on holiday with us. This is why ecotourism(生态旅游) is becoming more popular all over the world.

Everyone has a different idea about ecotourism, but most people agree that ecotourism must: protect the wildlife and culture of the area; do no harm to the nature; offer an experience that tourists want to pay for.

So, for example, in a true ecotourism project, tourists stay in local(当地的) houses with local people, not in specially built hotels. They travel on foot, by boat, or bicycle so that there is no pollution. And they have a special experience that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

This type of tourism can only involve(涉及)a small number of people, so it can be expensive. And if you want to have an “eco” holiday wherever you go, remember these basic rules:

Be prepared. Learn about the place that you’re going to visit. Find out about its culture and history. Think of your holiday as a chance to learn something.

Have respect for the local culture. Wear clothes that will not annoy people. Always ask permission before you take a photograph. Remember that you are a visitor.

Don’t waste resources. If the area doesn’t have much water, don’t take two showers every day.

Stay in local hotels and eat in local restaurants.

But before you get too excited, think about how you are going to get to your dream “eco” paradise. Flying often causes air pollution. So don’t forget that you don’t have to fly to foreign places for your “eco” holiday. There are probably places of natural beauty in your own country that you’ve never visited.

A.eco-tourism may be welcomed by the local people

B.international restaurants and hotels have a lot to do with ecotourism

C.choosing holiday places that don’t need air travel can be a part of ecotourism

D.people can only travel to places in their own country to have an “eco” holiday

Traffic accidents killed more than 104,000 people in China last year. Chinese cities have more cars than ever. Drivers and pedestrians must work together to make the streets safer. The law has new rules for drivers. Drivers have to slow down when they are close to crosswalks (人行横道). If people are in a crosswalk, cars must stop to let them pass.

___▲___ If bus drivers smoke, drink or make phone calls while driving, they can be fined. Buses that carry too many people are also against the law.

Pedestrians will have to walk more safely under the new law. They must cross streets at crosswalks. Also, they shouldn’t climb over the fence s along streets.

Do you bike to school? It’s not a good idea to carry classmates on the back. You could be fined 50 yuan. And stay in the bike way when you’re riding. The big roads are for cars and buses.

Do you like to ride your uncle’s motorbike? When you put on your helmet（头盔）, ask him to put one on, too. People on motorbikes must wear helmets, the new law says. If they don’t, they’ll have to pay 200 yuan.

Do you ride in cars often? Don’t forget to put on your seat belt, even if you’re going for a short taxi ride. It could save your life.

If you see a hit-and-run （肇事逃逸）, tell the police. They may give you thanks. And don’t be afraid to help to send people to the hospital if they are hurt in an accident. Don’t worry about money. The new law says that doctors must take care of them even if they can’t pay right away.
