We live on a shrinking planet! There's no need for measurements. World populations continue to grow and put ever-increasing demands on natural re?sources. Every day cities are expanding their borders and infringing on sur?rounding farmlands and forests. Every day plants and animals are becoming extinct(灭绝的) as a result of the expansion of our modern society. The con?servation efforts of governments may be able to preserve many forests and public lands for future generations to enjoy but they can't stop the lines wait?ing to get into these places from getting unbearably long. Camping requires uncrowded open spaces in order to be appreciated. As a result,the opportuni?ties for memorable camping experiences are getting fewer.
What are the better reasons to go camping to enjoy the outdoors and the scenic wonders of nature while we still can? With popular outdoor destinations requiring reservations as much as a year in advance,the feeling of the outdoors is getting lost in the crowds. More and more it's becoming necessary to camp in the off season or to travel great distances in order to find any peace or stay alone.
There are many valid reasons for escaping the daily activities of ordinary life and camping helps that escape for many of us. We all need a return to na?ture now and then. We all can benefit with a break from our daily activities. The thought of sitting around a campfire under a clear sky,staring up at the stars,and listening to the sounds of the night can strengthen our bodies,calm our minds,and restore our spirits. Camping is renewing！
Search for your youth and go camping！ And,wherever you find peace,stop for a moment and reflect on how blessed you are to be able to sense this mar?velous planet we call Campground Earth. Remember to share your love for the outdoors with family and friends and to help pass on some respect for nature to future generations.

As goods and services improved，people were persuaded to spend their money on changing from old to new,and found the change worth the expense. When an airline equipped itself with jets，for example，its costs (and therefore air fare) would go up，but the new planes meant such an improvement that the higher cost was justified. A new car (or wireless，washing machine， electric kettle) made life so much more comfortable than the old one that the high cost of re?placement was ftilly repaid. Manufacturers still cry their goods as persuasively as ever,but are the improvements really worth paying for? In many fields, things have now reached such a high standard of performance that further progress is very limited and very,very expensive. Airlines, for example, go to enormous expense in buying the latest prestige jets,in which vast research costs have been spent on relatively small improvements. If we abandon these vast costs, we might lose the chance of cutting minutes away from flying times;but wouldn't it be better to see airfares drop dramatically，as capital costs become relatively insignificant? Again，in the context of a 70 mph. Limit, with lines of cars traveling so close as to control each other's speeds, im?provements in performance are actually irrelevant;improvements in handling are unnecessary，as most production cars grip(抓牢) the road perfectly, and comfort has now reached a very high level. Small improvements here are unlikely to be worth the thousands that anybody replacing an ordinary family car every two years may have spent on them. Let us instead have cars―or wire?less，electric kettles，washing machines, television sets―which are made to last，and not to be replaced. Significant progress is obviously a good thing,but the insignificant progression from model-change to model-change is not.
( ) 1. The author is obviously challenging the social norm(社会规范) that .
A.it is important to improve goods and services
B.development of technology makes our life more comfortable
C.it is reasonable that prices are going up all the time
D.slightly improved new products are worth buying
( ) 2. According to the author, passengers would be happier if they .
A.could fly in the latest model of good planes
B.could get tickets at much lower prices
C.see the airlines make vital changes in their services
D.could spend less time flying in the air
( ) 3. In the case of cars,the author advises that we .
A.cancel the speed limit
B.further improve their performance
C.change models every two years
D.improve their durability(耐久性)
