Reading Comprehension (2,5 points) Taming the tourists The era of mass tourism in the mountain regions of industrialized countries began soon after World War II. This new phenomenon was a result of many factors, including increases in urban populations, income, vacation time, and mobility. Today, in the era of cheap, global air travel, almost no mountains in any corner of the world are out of reach. Moreover, `adventure tourists' and `ecotourists' are willing to pay well, and their money is very welcome to poor governments and communities. Although stories about the problems caused by tourism have become increasingly frequent in recent years, it is not necessarily a destructive force. The situation could be far better if tour operators and legislators considered how best to integrate tourism into the existing culture, with a minimal impact on the environment, and without host countries becoming too dependent on it. Merely restricting tourism cannot be the solution, because people's desire to see new places will not just disappear. But the real key to the problem lies in giving indigenous communities greater control over the rate at which tourism grows, and the paths it takes. Encouragingly, more and more communities are demonstrating that, with firm decision-making, this is possible. 1. Are the following statements true (T) or false (F)? (1 point: 0.5 each) a) There are still a lot of inaccessible areas in the mountains. (F) b) Some people are controlling the growth of tourism in their communities. (T) 2.

3. Tourism is not necessarily a problem if ... a) it is integrated into the local culture. b) it is not accepted by the community but integrated into its culture. c) it can be avoided, causing minimal impact on the environment. (C) D. Write a paragraph about your next trip. (2.5 points)

Im going planning my next trip: probably I go to Neverland! But isnt the Michael Jacksons house: is the Peter Pans land! There we can dream about be child all the time and there are the Capito Gancho and many adventures! That trip could be scare, scenic, interesting and unusual! Perhaps Peter doesnt like me because I am an adult, but Ill try be nice with him and Tinker Bell. Ill take care of them and the boys, and to teach them things that I Know. I dont decide how I go: maybe train or ship. Actually I prefer the train, for buy a round-trip ticket is more practical and cheaper. I can stay there just 5 days, but will be the better days in my life an experience for the posterity! So, thats it!
