Tourism has become one of the most significant forces for change in the world today. Regarded by many as the world’s largest industry, tourism brings regular migrations of people, exploitation of resources, processes of development and inevitable effects on places, economies, societies and environments. It is a phenomenon that increasingly demands attention.
Tourism Geography explores the factors that have encouraged the development of both domestic and international forms of tourism. The differing economic, environmental and socio-cultural impacts that tourism may receive are examined, together with a consideration of ways in which planning for tourism can assist in the regulation of development and produce many forms of tourism. Drawing on case studies from across the world, the book shows how geographic opinions can inform and illuminate the study of tourism, and offers a review of established geographies of tourism to show how new patterns in the production and consumption of tourist places are fashioning the new tourism geographies of the twenty-first century.

Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation（感觉）of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions—those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.
Psychologists have known that one person’s perception（感知）of another’s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.
Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.
To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses（假设）, handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form. The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.
“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says Bargh.
1.According to Paragraph 1, a person’s emotion may be affected by ______.
A．the visitors to his office B．the psychology lessons he has
C．his physical feeling of coldness D．the things he has bought online
2.The author mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that ______.
A．adults should develop social skills B．babies need warm physical contact
C．caregivers should be healthy adults D．monkeys have social relationships
3.In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to ______.
A．hold coffee and cold drink alternatively B．write down their hypotheses
C．fill out a personal information form D．evaluate someone’s personality
4.We can infer from the passage that ______.
A．abstract thinking does not come from physical experiences
B．feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwide
C．physical temperature affects how we see others
D．capable persons are often cold to others
5.What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Physical Sensations and Emotions.
B．Experiments of Personality Evaluation.
C．Developing Better Drinking Habits.
D．Drinking for Better Social Relationships.

A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl -friend.
No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.
1.The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is ____.
A．repeated without any change B．treated as a joke
C．made some changes by the parent D．set in the present
2.According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is ____.
A．in a realistic setting B．heard for the first time
C．repeated too often D．told in a different way
3.The advantage claimed (提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it ____.
A．makes them less fearful
B．develops their power of memory
C．makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of
D．encourages them not to have strange beliefs
4.The author's mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that ______.
A．fairy stories are still being made up
B．there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales
C．people try to modernize old fairy stories
D．there is more concern for children's fears nowadays
5.One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.
A．they are full of imagination
B．they just make up the stories which are far from the truth
C．they are not interesting
D．they make teachers of history difficult to teach

When looking back at the scary situation that happened to him on Saturday, Patrick Canney said he couldn’t still believe that it was true. It was a situation that could have ended with a tragedy for Patrick, his father and his sister. But it didn’t really happen thanks to Patrick.
That morning, Patrick’s father was driving down busy Interstate 95 in Peabody, Massachusetts. The car started going really slowly, which seized Patrick’s attention. And then he realized that something was wrong. At that point, Patrick found his father was having a seizure （中风）.
“It was really scary,” he said. “It was unlike anything that had ever really happened to me.” But Patrick didn’t act scared. He took control of the situation and got behind the wheel of the SUV. He turned the key off and pulled the car over to the breakdown lane （车道）. He then stopped the SUV, grabbed a cell phone out of his dad’s pocket and called 911 for help.
Patrick’s 9-year-old sister was in the SUV, too. He told his little sister not to worry about it. Then he opened the door and stood right next to the guard rail. Thanks to Patrick’s description of their location during the 911 call, Massachusetts State Police were able to locate the Canneys within minutes -- and get them all to safety.
“A 12-year-old boy’s clear thinking and decisive action actually saved this family from a tragedy,” said state police spokesman David. “That’s Patrick. He is cool and collected. I couldn’t imagine what would be the result if he were panicked （惊慌失措）.”
Patrick’s father was expected to recover fully from the seizure. And thanks to Patrick, all of the Canneys are still alive. “The word hero may be overused in our society,” said David. “But Patrick is surely that -- and then some.”
1.As soon as he found his father had a seizure, Patrick ________.
A．told his sister not to worry B．called the police for help at once
C．tried his best to save his father D．managed to take control of the car
2.The underlined word “collected” in Paragraph 5 means “_________”.
A．confused B．positive C．calm D．serious
3.What did David think of Patrick?
A．Patrick should learn from real heroes in society.
B．Patrick was a cool boy who matched the word hero.
C．Patrick should be rewarded for his behavior.
D．Patrick should protect his family carefully in the future.
4.Which of the-following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A．A kid made every effort to survive in a car crash.
B．A kid turned into a lifesaver after his father was ill.
C．A kid learned how to become a hero by using his wisdom.
D．A kid saved his sister when they drove on a highway.
