Where should an adventurous tourist go? After you've done sightseeing in London, shopping in New York, tasted the local food in Paris, and danced to your heart's content at the Brazilian Carnival, where else can you go? What exotic (異國(guó)風(fēng)情的) tourist destination awaits you?

Well, Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime! It's considered the last great wilderness on Earth. Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can cope with the low temperatures.

Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still a small scale. About 37,000 tourists are expected there this season, but many won't even leave the boat.

The BBC's Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all, causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave footprints and they all go to the same place, the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins and seals go to breed.

But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it needs advocates. Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation. And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming, which has led to the melting of glaciers.

According to Rix, guidelines are followed when you're about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect (為……消毒) their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.

And once on land, there's no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragments — nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind. Tourists fortunate enough to visit Antarctica must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.

1.According to the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.

A．Antarctica has become the best place for people to travel

B．only scientists can be allowed to go to Antarctica

C．Antarctica is less affected by human activities

D．no animals can survive in Antarctica except penguins

2.Juliet Rix's travel in Antarctica mentioned in the fourth paragraph indicates that ________.

A．governments should take measures to stop tourists from going to Antarctica

B．whether tourists should go to Antarctica or not should be considered carefully

C．the animals' habitat in Antarctica has been seriously affected by tourism

D．only journalists begin to pay attention to the environmental protection in Antarctica

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Rix?

A．Tourists can eat and smoke in Antarctica.

B．Tourists can take something they like from Antarctica.

C．Tourists can throw away something they don't need in Antarctica.

D．Tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery in Antarctica.

4.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

A．Why can't tourists go to Antarctica?

B．How can tourists go to Antarctica?

C．Should tourists go to Antarctica?

D．Are tourists allowed to go to Antarctica?

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. 1.

Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.

First of all, good talkers ask questions. _2. One well­known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters — sometimes to really personal questions. 3. Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.

_4. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it's time for you to change the subject.

Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you're saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I've really enjoyed meeting you.” 5. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life.

A．Real listening at least means some things.

B．You can become a popular person.

C．Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question.

D．And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.

E．If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret.

F．It's polite to listen to others with a smile.

G．These people have something in common.
