LONDON ( Reuters)-- Ecotourism (生态旅游) is causing a lot of damage to wildlife and may be endangering the survival(生存) of the very animals people are flocking to see, according to researchers.
Biologists and conservationists (自然环境保护论者) are worried because polar bears, dolphins, penguins and other creatures are getting stressed and losing weight and some are dying.
“Evidence is growing that many animals do not react well to tourists in their backyard,” New Scientist magazine said.
The immediate effects researchers have noticed are changes in behavior, heart rates, or stress hormone levels but they fear it could get much worse and over the long term “could endanger the survival of the very wildlife they want to see”.
Although money produced through ecotourism, which has been growing at about 10--30 percent a year, has major benefits for poor countries and people living in rural areas, the Swiss-based World Conservation Union (IUCN) and some governments fear not all projects are audited (审计) and based on environmentally friendly policies, according to the magazine.
“The transmission(传播) of disease to wildlife, or small changes to wildlife health through disturbance of daily life or increased stress levels, while not obvious to the casual observer, may translate to lower survival and breeding,” said Philip Seddon, of the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand.
Scientists have noticed that bottleneck dolphins along the northeastern coast of New Zealand become nervously excited when tourist boats arrive. Similar changes in behavior have been observed in polar bears and yellow-eyed penguins in areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller babies.
Conservationists are now calling for more research into the effect of ecotourism on animals and say the industry must be developed carefully. They also want studies done before new ecotourism projects are started.
“The animals’ welfare should be very important because without them there will be no ecotourism,” said Rochelle Constantine of the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
1.What's the text mainly about?
A. Many animals are dying because of lack of money.
B. There will be no ecotourism without animals.
C. Ecotourism could endanger the survival of the wildlife people want to see.
D. More research should be done on ecotourism.
2.According to New Scientist magazine, more and more evidence has come to suggest that _____.
A. polar bears are getting stressed
B. other creatures are losing weight
C. many animals do not respond well to travellers in their backyard
D. All of the above
3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
A. Ecotourism may endanger the survival of some animals.
B. Polar bears in areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller babies.
C. Ecotourism has been growing at about 10--30 percent a year.
D. Studies should be done before new ecotourism projects are started.

My life suffered a lot in summer five years ago. My father died in a car accident，leaving my mother，my two younger brothers and I alone. At that time，I was a senior high school student. After my father’s funeral，I had no choice but to drop out of school and work in a factory.
I really wanted to return to school and wanted to go to college，but I couldn’t. I only hoped to bring up my two young brothers. Life was not easy for me，for I can’t afford their tuition even if I worked from day to night without stopping. Without my father’s protection，I thought I was a slave to the fate.
Later on，something changed my life. I still remember that it was a rainy day. I put myself in the rain and walked slowly in the street.
Suddenly the rain stopped！I raised my head and found “the sky” was in fact a dark blue umbrella. Then I noticed a middle?aged man with one leg on crutch(拐杖) standing behind me. He said to me，“Why not run without an umbrella？If you didn’t run，you would get drenched.”
The man told me that he was a promoter. He once dreamed of being a policeman，but an accident ruined his dream. Though his present job was not suitable for his legs，it was a wonderful start to him. He was very happy that he didn’t lose heart and still “ran” on the road of life...
I was encouraged by the man’s words. I went to a big city and became an assurance representative. After two years’ running，I did well and my family condition turned better little by little. Later I returned to school and succeeded in my entrance to university.
Life is like this. When you are in rainy days in your life，if you couldn’t find a way to prevent you from being wet，you would be overwhelmed. But if you decide to get rid of it，you’ll discover that the rainy days last not so long as you imagine.
