When I was at university,I studied very hard.But a lot of my friends did very little work.Some did just enough to pass exams.Others didn’t do quite enough.Fred Baines was one of them.He spent more time drinking in the Students’ Union than working in the library.
Once at the end of the term,we had to take an important test in chemistry.The test had a hundred questions. In my room the night before the test,F(xiàn)red was watching TV.Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test.But on that night he looked perfectly calm.Then he told me of his plan.“It’s very simple.There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test.I’ll take a coin into the examination room.I haven’t studied a chemistry book for months,so I’ll just toss the coin.That way,I’m sure I’ll get half the questions right.”
The next day,F(xiàn)red came happily into the exam room.As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour he marked down his answers.Then he left,half an hour before the rest of us.
The next day,he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor.“Oh,good,”he said,“Have you got the result of the test?”The professor looked at him and smiled,“Ah,it’s you,Baines.Just a minute.”Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin.He threw it into the air,caught it in his hand and looked at it.

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the local people of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the local people become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy(經(jīng)濟(jì)). It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance(推進(jìn)) the well-being (health and happiness) of local people.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a lot of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
【小題1】What is probably the reason if local people dislike tourists?
A.Tourists come to enjoy the customs and beauty. |
B.Local people lose jobs. |
C.A lot of hotels are built. |
D.Too many tourists cause traffic problems. |
A.Make plans properly |
B.Help the country’s economy. |
C.Build fewer hotels. |
D.Advance the well-being of local people. |
A.businesses will lose money |
B.other parts of the country’s economy will make more money |
C.local people will be happier |
D.more local people will work for tourists. |
A.①②③④⑤ | B.②③④⑤⑥ | C.①②③⑤⑥ | D.①③④⑤⑥ |
A.whether people need to build more hotels |
B.whether people need to plan tourism properly |
C.how to deal with the problems above |
D.how to prevent tourism growing too quickly |

科目:初中英語 來源:2011年廣西省桂林市中考英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解
When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.
Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’ d sit on the edge of the dock(碼頭), feet dangling(搖晃), and got ready for a big meal.
Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.
What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.
For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.
Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.
1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.
A. relaxed B. worried C. hungry D. proud
2.How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?
A. They ate it in a polite way. B. They only ate its best part.
C. They ate every part of it. D. They shared only one piece.
3. In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______.
A. was just a rich businessman B. worked hard all the time
C. lived a rich but healthy life D. knew how to make money
4.The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. the best part of the watermelon B. the writer’s busy life
C. the writer’s decision of making money D. the writer’s hope of enjoying life
5.It can be learned from the passage that ______.
A. one has to work hard to reach his goal B. a friend in need is a friend in deed
C. watermelon is the healthiest fruit D. one should keep work-life balance
