When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you looked up each word in the dictionary, once at a time, what is your translation (翻译)? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages do not just have different sounds; they are different in many ways. Its important to master(掌握)the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand his sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, but the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the different between the two parts of sentences.
“She only likes apples.”“Only she likes apples.”
“I have seen the film already.”“I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实质) of the language and use it as the English speaker does.

As we all know, the ocean moves. But waves breaking on the beach make the ocean fun. When you stand on the shore and look at the waves, it seems like the water is moving towards you. But the water is not really moving forward. The moving you see is wave energy. And wave energy comes from the wind.
Let’s think about how this works. As wave energy passes through the water, the energy makes particles (粒子) of water move up and down. Just give you an example of a wave passing under a basketball. We put a basketball on the sea. When the wind blows, a wave comes from behind the basketball. The basketball moves up to the top with the wave. Then the wave continues and leaves the basketball behind. The basketball looks lower, but it doesn’t move forward. That’s because the wave energy just moves the water which is under the basketball.
   So why can you see a wave knock you down on the shore?When a wave moves toward the shore, the bottom of the wave slows down because it meets the ocean floor. But the top, which is called crest(浪峰), keeps moving. The different action causes the wave to fall over or break onto the shore. If a wave is very large, it carries a lot of energy when it hits the land. As time goes by, waves can break up and carry away the rocks and other things on the shore. Shorelines are changing all the time because of wave action.
【小题1】______ is really moving forward when you look at the wave.

A.WaterB.The basketballC.Water and wave energyD.Wave energy
【小题2】Match the sentences with the pictures and the right answer.
(1) The basketball moves up to the top with the wave.

A.a—(2) b—(1) c—(3)B.a—(3) b—(1) c—(2)
C.a—(1) b—(3) c—(2)D.a—(3) b—(2) c—(1)
【小题3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Wave energy comes from the water.
B.Large waves carry plenty of energy.
C.Wave action makes shorelines change all the time.
D.The bottom of the wave is easy to slow down.
【小题4】The underlined word “it” ( Paragraph 3) refers to “________”.
A.particles of waterB.the shoreC.the windD.the bottom of the wave
【小题5】The main idea of this passage is ______.
A.what makes particles of water moveB.how a basketball moves on the ocean
C.how wave energy causes wave actionD.why a wave can knock you down

What’s your dream vacation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to visit the world. So we visit travel companies, compare prices, and pay our money.
We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? It’s true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local(本地的) people more than it helps them.
It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔) in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.
Tourism might also cost the local people their jobs and dignity(尊严). Local workers often find only low-paying jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the money do not help the local economy(经济). Instead, money return to the tour operators in richer countries, When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to poor places of the city. Others now make a little money selling things or acting for photos.
Problems like these were noticed more than 20 years ago. But now tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure.     
The result is “ethical(合乎职业道德的)tourism”. Ethical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements and rules can help protect the people’s lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex(复杂的).
But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn the money they should get.
They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel, restaurants and guide services. They can share some money to help the local economy. And they can help the local people plan and manage tourism.
What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local people. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while we’re abroad, we can:
Buy local foods and products.
Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.
Ask before taking photographs of people.
They are not just part of the scenery!
Let’s enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.
【小题1】Which of the following is not mentioned?

A.Local people protected the pagodas in Bagan well.
B.Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people.
C.Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work.
D.Tourists had better not bargain with local people for a cheap price.
【小题2】 The underlined phrase "take heart" means"      ".
A.pay attentionB.take careC.cheer upD.give up
【小题3】 According to the passage, the writer thinks          .
A.tourism is not a promising industry
B.dream vacations should be spent abroad
C.the problems caused by tourism are easy to settle
D.tourists should respect local customs and cultures
【小题4】What is probably the best title for the passage?
A.Tourism Causes Bad Effects.B.Tourism Calls for Good Behavior.
C.Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun.D.Vacations Cost More Than You Think.
