When we finished talking, I went to my 20 and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about 21 and overcoming obstacles（克服障碍）than I ever would. He looked at it for a while, then took it off and handed it 22 to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”

Last summer I got the news that Matthew had 23 and a letter Matthew had written to me a few days before:

Dear Rick,

“School buses should be safe mobile campuses(校园)for students,” the premier said at a national meeting on womenand children, “Society(社会)should rememberin mind that children should be the first to enjoy all kinds of social caringand the last ones to suffer from any disaster.”

The nine-seat minibuswas carrying 64 people at the time of the accident, according to thereports.

The second accident, in which a school bus in the northern province of Liaoning rolled overon Friday, left 35 people injured, according to China Daily.

“In recent days, a series of big accidents involving school buses has led to great anger among the people. These accidents have also made me uncomfortable,” said Mr Wang, an old teacher from Jiangsu. And he also thought that school bus safety must become a serious problem for schools and the government.

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(经济). 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(推进) 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.

36. 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.

37.What can we do to solve the problems caused by tourism?
