Everyone has an ambition(志向) to travel. But those who cannot do so themselves might find it interesting to work in a travel agency (旅行社)，arranging journeys for other people. Brian Lawtey does this，working in a small travel agency in the industrial city. Most of his work is concerned with holiday，both at home and abroad. Every autumn，the agency sends out hundreds of booklets (小册子) full of attractive，colored photographs，describing the holidays that their customers will be able to have the next year. Soon，people begin to come into the office to book their holidays：perhaps a week’s skiing in Austria in January，perhaps a cruise (巡游) to the Caribbean in February，perhaps a seaside holiday in Spain in May，or a tour of Africa. Brian often has to advise people on what holidays will be suitable for them，and they always have a lot of questions. Last year，for example，a lady of eighty-two wanted to book for a mountaineering (爬山) holiday in the Alps (阿尔卑斯山)，and Brian had great difficulty in persuading her that it would not be suitable. In the end，she decided to go for a Mediterranean cruise instead.

Arranging journeys for people who have to travel abroad on business is often very complicated，but Brian enjoys this work. For example，last spring Mr. Perry，a director of a chemical firm，went on a business trip，and Brian arranged it all for him. First，Mr. Perry traveled to London by train，and stayed overnight in a hotel near the airport，because his plane left early the next morning. He flew to Frankfurt in Germany，where he spent the morning discussing business. Then he went on by train to Zurich (苏黎世)，where he stayed the night. After a meeting the next morning，he caught a plane for Tokyo，and spent three days there before going to America. He had business in Seattle (西雅图)，Chicago and New York，and stayed some time in each of those places. From New York，he flew back to London，and then got home by train. The next day he telephoned the agency to thank Brian for arranging everything so well for him.

Mental Health to Decline With Climate Change

Global warming can be absolute depressing. Turns out, it is.

Nature Tourism Doesn't always Help

Ecotourists who want to help protect the environment with their travel

dollars may be best off backpacking.

Greenhouse Gases May Endanger Human Health

The EPA is warning that greenhouse gases emission（排放）is a threat to

public health and welfare.

Newest weapon Against Climate Change: Rocks

A strong contender in the fight against global warming may be right

under our feet.

Climate Changing Faster Than Expected

As climate change exceeds the worst predictions, scientists emphasize

the urgency of reducing emissions.

Airline Passengers May Face Radiation Risk

Add lightning-produced radiation to the list of potential concerns for

holiday travelers.

下面是这些文章的主要内容。请把相关的内容与它们的标题匹配起来。

1．　 By now with so many persuasive evidences, global warming is developing or exceeding

　 experts' worst expectations, and could bring drastic change to our planet, including a 19-foot

　 sea level rise and the extinction of many species, according to a new report released today.

　 So scientists sound the alarm.

2．　 Besides adventure and relaxation, there is some comfort in thinking that your tourist dollars

help protect the natural beauty you go to visit. But it doesn't always work that way. A new

study in Uganda（乌干达）found that people who spent more money to se gorillas in Bwindi

Impenetrable National Park didn't necessarily help the local community more.

3．　 Rocks with a powerful thirst for carbon dioxide could suck enough of the greenhouse gas

from the atmosphere to help counteract global warming, according to a recent study. Formed

under heat and pressure deep in the Earth, the rocks have unusual chemical properties when

moving up to the surface, which include absorbing carbon dioxide.

4．　 A rise in natural disasters caused by the global warming will lead to more cases of stress

disorder and depression. According to various evidences, climate change will bring new

cases of stress, anxiety and depression. People who already have serious psychological problems will　

probably suffer most in the natural disasters and extreme weather events.

5．　 The Environmental Protection Agency has concluded greenhouse gases are endangering

people's health and must be regulated, indicating that the Obama administration is prepared

to contain global warming if necessary and that the United States is aggressively taking

actions to fight against global warming and protect its people's health..

Ecology：Rescuing the Environment

　　

　　The comforts and conveniences of modern life have brought with them problems that did not exist in the days of simpler living． Machinery which operates on electricity made by burning coal or petroleum is used to process raw materials taken from the earth． Gases from the burning fuels are sent into the air． Wastes from making raw material into finished products are sent both into the air and into the water．

　　As a result of these and of other pollutants some lakes and rivers have become so contaminated that the fish in them die． Besides the dangers to health from breathing polluted air, the waste gases have effects on the upper atmosphere, which may endanger life on earth．

　　These threats, as well as the depletion (耗尽) of natural resources (such as fuels, forests, and soil) by carelessly wasteful use, have worried scientists and other thoughtful people．

　　Such persons are also disturbed about the effects of chemical fertilizers and of poisons which farmers use in order to destroy insects and weeds． Above all, they are alarmed at the interference (冲突) with the natural balance of the environment, and its possible consequences (结果)．

　　As a result, there have been attempts to alert the public to these dangers and to control pollution, as well as to reduce the wasting of natural resources． One way of bringing these problems to the attention of the public is the yearly celebration of Earth Day, which began in 1970． There are also articles and books by environmentalists and organizations interested in ecology, the study of the interdependence of organisms and the environment．

　　The United States government’s Environment Protection Agency is studying various ways of avoiding danger to the population． For example, its scientists are making investigations to find out whether water pipes made of certain materials can have chemical effects on the water they transport, which might induce (引起) cancer or other diseases． By these and other antipollution studies and regulations, it is hoped that the environment can be prevented from deteriorating (恶化) further．
