One of my favorite things to do is hiking in mountains．Because

nobody likes the idea of getting lost，I always prepare before every

trip．But what’s the best navigation tool，a Global Positioning Sys-

tem(GPS)or a good old map and compass?

  Five of my friends and I hiked through the mountains on a trail

(路线)I marked．One team of three carried a GPS，and the other[来源:Z+xx+k.Com]

team used a map and compass．

    It took the GPS team 3 hours and 1 1 minutes to get through the

whole hike，however，it took the map and compass team only 2

hours and 49 minutes．The biggest problem the GPS team met was

that they lost the satellite signal(卫星信号)in some places．With

no map or compass，they had to walk around until they were in a

place where the signal was good．The map and compass team was

able to spot different landmarks，compare them to their maps and then use the compass to point them in the right direction．

    When I head out on my future hikes，I'm bringing a map，a compass and a GPS to show me the way．

Tourism(旅游业)wasn’t as important as it is today. In the past, only people with a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world. That is to say, people now have more money for travelling. Special airplane fares for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive(吸引人的)than ever before.
Different people have different reasons for travelling. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and enjoy new food.
Tourism has many changes in a country and in people’s lives. People build new hotels and restaurants and train local men and women as guides to show visitors interesting places.
