Ⅱ.Reading comprehension Directions: Read the following passages and make your proper choices. Has it ever struck you that what the tourist considers most picturesque about a country the local resident often thinks shameful and unprogressive? The average visitor to the Middle East finds camels fascinating; either they attract him strongly or they repel him strongly, he finds them romantic and full of local color. If, however, he talks enthusiastically about camels to a local acquaintance, hoping to gain favor in his sight thereby, he will almost always be disappointed. He will be with blank incomprehension of his viewpoint or even hostility to it. It seems to be a fact that familiarity breeds contempt, and that those who seek excitement and romance cannot see it at home, under their noses, but only in distant lands. The Middle Easterner travelling abroad enjoys seeing cowboys and Indians in America, old castles and cathedrals in France, and Gypsies in Spain. It is not because they are unprogressive that he enjoys these sights; his pleasure is not mixed with feelings of superiority, just as the European or American visitor to the Middle East is fascinated by camels and veiled women and ancient buildings, not because they make him feel how rich or clever he is by contrast, but because they are strange and remote and mysterious, arousing him feelings of curiosity which are deeply rooted in man's nature.

People in different parts of the world have very different ideas about what is good to eat. If you were an Eskimo near the North Pole, you would enjoy the raw meat from seals. If you were a nomad in the desert, you would prefer the roasted meat of sheep and goats. American cook the meat of many different animals, but perhaps their favorite meat is steak. Even when people in different parts of the world eat the same food, they often prepare it very differently. If you were in Germany, you would find soup that is thick and heavy. If you were in China, you would find soup that is thin and clear. Many people like butter that is fresh and firm, but Indians like butter when it is melted into an oil. If you asked some Americans how they liked their steak cooked, you would get a variety of answers. Some like their steak well-done, whereas others like it rare. Many prefer their steak medium. Although people in many countries consider raw meat a delicacy, an American rarely eats any meat that is uncooked. The Irish like plain boiled potatoes, whereas most Americans prefer their potatoes prepared in other ways--fried, baked, or boiled and then mashed and served with gravy. People living in different regions of the same country often prepare foods differently. The United States has its regional specialties. And there are national foods, too. For example, there are two desserts you would probably find anywhere in the United States. One is ice cream and the other is apple pie. Moreover, all American children like hot dogs and hamburgers. But some people eat their ham burgers "plain" --with nothing on them. Others like theirs "with everything" --with onions, lettuce, fresh tomatoes, and sauces. On holidays most of us eat special foods. Year after year, even if many other things change, the food is always the same. One important holiday in the US is Thanksgiving Day. People in the US usu ally sit down to have a Thanksgiving dinner with turkey and pumpkin pie. For All Saints Day on November 1, mothers in Guatemala make a special salad of meats and vegetables. One of the favorite Christmas foods in Norway is made with dried fish. Sometimes housewives begin weeks in advance to prepare the special foods that are traditionally served on certain holidays. People in different parts of the world also have different ideas about what is good to drink. Among the most popular hot drinks are coffee and tea. Coffee is very popular in northern Europe and in the Middle East. Some people put cream and sugar in their coffee. But many Americans drink their coffee "black". Tea is the national drink in China, Japan, and other oriental countries. In the Orient people drink tea without sugar. But in England, where it is also a national drink, many people use both sugar and hot or cold milk in their tea. As travel becomes faster and easier, we are learning more about what other people like to eat and drink. Almost everyone likes to try new foods and drinks and to learn about how they are pre pared.

1. China is truly one of the few countries in the world with such a vast territory, huge population, long-standing history, brilliant ancient civilization, stunning natural beauty, and multiethnic culture. This uniquely combined natural and cultural resource base has become a major asset for China in its effort to develop tourism. Located in the southeastern part of Eurasian Continent on the western shores of the Pacific Ocean, China is the third largest country in the world with a total land area of 9.6 million square kilometers. Its geographic environment and physical landscape are enormously diverse due to the north-south differences in latitudes and the east-west variations in landform and moisture. China is a mountainous country. Hills, mountains, and plateaus cover two-thirds of the total area. The general topography descends from the high plateaus in the west to the lower-lying plains in the east.
2. Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest of Europe. Studies by the Council of Europe, of which 21 countries are members, have shown that 45 percent of reptile species and 24 percent of butterflies are in danger of dying out. European countries for wildlife was outlined by Dr. Peter Baum, an expert in the environment and nature resources division of the council, when he spoke at a conference arranged by the administrators of a British national park. The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the council's diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality, and Dr. Baum had come to present it to the park once again. He was afraid that public opinion was turning against national parks, and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today. But Dr. Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in peace in their own right.
