　　Tourism probably started in Roman times．Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman empire．But when the empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped．

　I　n the early 17th century, the idea of the “Grand Tour” was born．Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel(英吉利海峡)．They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice(威尼斯)in Italy．Their tours lasted for two to four years, and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city．The “Grand Tour” was an important part of young people’s education－but only for the rich．

　　In the 18th century, tourism began to change．For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns, such as Bath to “take the waters”．They believed that the water there was good for their health．So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns．

　　In the 19th century, travel became much more popular and faster．When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between towns, so they started to go for holidays by the sea．And some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger, noisier and dirtier．

　　Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built．People began to travel more to far away countries．

　　The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people．Planes were made larger, so ticket prices dropped and more people used them．

　　Thus tourism grew．In 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays．The company organizes everything－plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food－and tourists pay for it all before they leave home．The package tour and modern tourist industry was born．

　　The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949．But tourism did not take off until 1978．In 2002, the industry was worth 500 billion yuan and became an important part of China’s social development．

I am a teacher. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I 31 asked my students how their weekend had been. A boy said that his weekend had not been so good. The boy then asked me       32 I always seemed to be so cheerful.
His question 33 me of something I’d read somewhere before, “Every morning when you 34 up, you have a 35 about how you want to face life that day.” I smiled and said to myself, “I choose to be cheerful.”
“Let me give you a(n) 36 ,” I said. “In addition to teaching here, I also teach in another college, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. A few weeks ago, I 37   those 17 miles to the school.

I’m still able to teach my class, and able to arrange for a tow truck to meet me.’ The headmaster’s eyes were 47   open and then she smiled.”
I 48 the faces in my class. Although it was the early hour, no one seemed to be 49 . My story had 50 them, or maybe it wasn’t the story at all.

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked 36 at me and said, “I love you.” I didn't know what to say. 37 several seconds all I could do was to stand there and 38 down at him . My first thought was that he must need 39 with his homework or he was trying to 40 me for some news.

Finally I asked, “What was that all about?” “Nothing,” he said. “My teacher said we should 41 our parents that we love them and sees what they say. It’s 42 .

The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had 43 .

“Basically, most of the fathers had the 44 reaction as you did,” the teacher said. “When I first 45 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.

“The 46 is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of 47 . It is something all people 48 . What I'm trying to tell the children is that it's too 49 we don't all express those feeling. A boy 50 tell his dad he loves him.”

The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 51 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.

When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for a (n) 52 moment. And just 53 he pulled away , I said in my deepest , most manly voice , “Hey , I love you , too . ”

I don't know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time one of my children says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole 54 to think of the right 55 .
