题目内容
As everybody knows, tourism plays an important part in the development of a country’s economy, the life of the nation and international cooperation. Individually, it can enlarge our personal perspective and knowledge, and make us feel good.
However, tourism can also lead to pollution and the destruction of places of interest which are difficult to avoid.
Fortunately, “Green Tourism” is now being promoted and developed all over the world. As time goes by, people will begin to realize the importance of these places of interest. “Green Tourism” teaches people to love nature more and to consciously protect it by enjoying its beautiful scenery and learning more about it. “Green Tourism” is the best kind of tourism as its purpose is to appreciate and research natural environments including wild plants and animals, and of course the cultures of many places.
Compared with traditional(传统的)tourism, the main characteristic(特色)of “Green Tourism” is learning more about nature and people. Traditionally, people travel the world to amuse themselves and pass time pleasantly. But “Green Tourists” are different. They travel because they are attracted by the characteristics of protected areas. They want to make good use of natural resources but not use them up. For example, they research the wildlife, the culture and the customs of a place so that they can learn more about the history and value of the area.
In short, “Green Tourism” has a purpose and a plan, but not to pollute or destroy our places of interest.

Many of us have heard of the saying: everything is possible if you can just believe. But few of us really know the power of faith and perseverance(坚定). South African swimmer Natalie du Tiot embodies(体现)those virtues.
Du Tiot, 24, became the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympics (残奥会)in Beijing. Although she finished 16th in the tough 10km marathon in the able-bodied Games, she has collected three golds in the Paralympics so far.
One of the most successful disabled athletes of all time, Natalie du Tiot was already a promising swimmer when she lost her leg in a motorcycle accident in 2001, at just 17.
“There are a lot of dark moments,” she said, “There are some days when I cry. But I try to remember that better days are ahead. You just go on.”
Within a few months, she was back in the swimming pool.
She still completes and still succeeds. The only difference is she has switched to longer events—from 200m and 400m individual medley to 800m and 1,500m freestyle—to make up for her loss of speed with only one leg. But she made no adjustment to her mental look(精神面貌).
“Going out in the water, it feels as if there’s nothing wrong with me. It doesn’t matter if you look different. You’re still the same as everybody else because you have the same dream.”
She is the owner of many world records, and she also won gold when competing against able-bodied swimmers in the 1,500m freestyle at the All African Games in 2007.
But there is no magic recipe(秘诀) for success. It all comes down to hard work and determination. “She is stubborn, which is good and bad,” said her coach Karoly Von Toros. “Good for the swimming, but bad for the coach.”
There is a poem that hangs on her wall that reads:
The tragedy (悲剧)of life does not lie in not reaching your goals;
The tragedy of life lies in not having goals to reach for.
