Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the local people of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the local people become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy(经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance(推进) the well-being (health and happiness) of local people.
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 lot of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities 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 will 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

What will you do to make sure you reach your goals? There are 1 main steps .

First, sit down and 　2 your dreams out. By writing them you will get a better idea of where you really want to go. Imagine yourself at the end of the year or maybe 3　 five years. What do you see? 4 do people see you? What are you doing? Are you 　5　?

Well, a dream is just that. It’s a vision (远见) of how you 　6　 yourself in the future. As long as you know the direction in which you want to go, you can begin 　7　 some goals.

8 come the goals. Goals are ‘wants’. So are dreams, but goals are more specific (具体的). If you want to be rich, tell how much 9 you need to be rich. If you want 　10 grades, tell what you mean by ‘good’. In fact, the more specific the goal is, the 　11　 it will be to get it. Give numbers and times. Don’t use words like ‘lots’ or ‘more’. 　12, I want a ‘B’ in each of my subjects.

Third are the objectives (目标). They tell 　13　 what you will do and when you will do it. When you think about what you will do, don’t use words like ‘　14　’ or ‘maybe’. Be sure your objectives can be measured (估量). Every day or every week you can ask, ‘Did I 　15　 this?’ and you can answer with either a yes or a no. Don’t leave room for ‘maybes’.
