Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions form 30 -34
Tourism will always have an impact on the places visited. Sometimes the impact is good,
but often it is negative. For example, if lots of people visit one place, then this can damage
the environment. The question is - how can we minimize the problems without preventing
people from travelling and visiting places?
The main aim of ecotourism is to reduce the negative impact that tourism has on the
environment and local people. The idea is to encourage tourists to think about what they do
when they visit a place.
It's great to talk about protecting the environment, but how do you actually do this?
There are a number of key points. Tourists shouldn't drop litter, they should stay on the paths,
they shouldn't interfere with wildlife and they should respect local customs and traditions.
Some people see ecotourism as a contradiction. They say that any tourism needs
infrastructure - roads, airports and hotels.The more tourists that visit a place, the more of
these are needed and, by building more of these, you can't avoid damaging the environment.
But, of course, things aren't so black and white. Living in a place of natural beauty
doesn't mean that you shouldn't benefit from things like better roads. As long as the
improvements benefit the local people and not just the tourists, and the local communities are
consulted on plans and changes, then is there really a problem?
In 2002 the United Nations celebrated the "International Year of Ecotourism". Over the
past twenty years, more and more people have started taking eco-holidays. In countries such
as Ecuador, Nepal, Costa Rica and Kenya, ecotourism represents a significant proportion of
the tourist industry.
Question 30 : What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A brief introduction about ecotourism
B. Some Dos for ecotourists
C. Some Don'ts for ecotourists
D. Benefits and drawbacks of ecotoursim
Question 31: In paragraph 1, the word "it" refers to ____.
A. tourism B. environment C. impact D. damage
Question 32: According to the passage, what does the ecotourism aim at?
A. stopping ecotourism altogether B. reducing the tourism problems
C. preventing tourists from travelling D. finding a new form of tourism
Question 33: In paragraph 4, the word "avoid" is closest in meaning to ____.
A. present B. pretend C. prevent D. protest
Question 34: Which of the following is TRUE about the author's opinion?

PERCEPTIONS OF ANIMALS ACROSS CULTURES
When living and working in another country, there are numerous things to consider apart
from the more obvious ones of climate, language, religion, currency, etc. Some important
considerations are less obvious. For example, do you have a pet or do you enjoy a hobby such
as horse riding? Your animal or hobby may be perceived in a completely different light in
another culture so it’s important to consider the significance given to specific animals in
different parts of the world and general perceptions towards them.
One example which is often mentioned in popular press is the case of dogs. In some
cultures,
like the US or UK, dogs are loved and considered a great pet to have at home and with the
family. In other cultures, such as those where Islam is the majority religion, dogs may be
perceived as dirty or dangerous. Muslims treatment of dogs is still a matter of debate amongst
Islamic scholars, while these animals are widely considered by many Western cultures to be
“mans best friend”, the Koran describes them as “unhygienic”. Muslims will therefore avoid
touching a dog unless he can wash his hands immediately afterwards, and they will almost
never keep a dog in their home.
In Iran, for instance, a cleric once denounced “the moral depravity” of dog owners and
even demanded their arrest. If you are an international assignee living and working in Saudi
Arabia or another Arabic country, you should remember this when inviting Arab counterparts
to your house in case you have a dog as a pet. This is just one example of how Islam and
other cultural beliefs can impact on aspects of everyday life that someone else may not even
question. A Middle Eastern man might be very surprised when going to Japan, for instance,
and seeing dogs being dressed and pampered like humans and carried around in baby prams!
Dogs are not the only animals which are perceived quite differently from one culture to
another. In India, for example, cows are sacred and are treated with the utmost respect.
Conversely in Argentina, beef is a symbol of national pride because of its tradition and the
high quality of its cuts. An Indian working in Argentina who has not done his research or
participated in a cross cultural training programme such as Doing Business in Argentina may
be surprised at his first welcome dinner with his Argentinean counterparts where a main dish
of beef would be served.
It is therefore crucial to be aware of the specific values assigned to objects or animals in
different cultures to avoid faux-pas or cultural misunderstandings, particularly when living
and working in another culture. Learning how people value animals and other symbols
around the world is one of the numerous cultural examples discussed in Communication’s
intercultural training courses. Understanding how your international colleagues may perceive
certain animals can help you ensure you aren’t insensitive and it may even provide you with a
good topic for conversation.

D. Understanding different perceptions of animals will help you avoid faux-pas in
