Waterfalls are beautiful and powerful, and they are often popular tourist attractions. Waterfalls are common in
the upper course near the source of river where gradients are steep.
Waterfalls occur when the river flows over rocks of different resistance to the water erosion. A hard band of
rocks lies on top of the soft rock. River erosion wears away weaker rocks. The hard band of rock is eroded less quickly
than the weaker rock below it, forming a step. Softer rock is undercut as the water flows over the hard rock. A plunge
pool forms. Eventually the overhanging hard rock falls into the plunge pool. The broken rock is carried away by the
water. The process is repeated. The waterfall retreats upstream. A gorge is left behind. The river plunges over the step
often in a spectacular way.
28. How does water often fall into the plunge pool?
A. popularity D. hardly
B. quickly E. spectacularly
C. slowly
Faster and cheaper flights are making it easier than ever before for people to travel. In the most ”developed”
societies, visiting exotic places is a sought-after status symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and
developing countries have recognized this fact and are learning to take advantage of it. There are, however, some
problems associated with this new industry.
Firstly, there is the increasing crime rate. Some locals see tourists as an easy prey because not only they are in
unfamiliar territory and therefore less able to take care of themselves, but also they carry visible items of wealth, such
as cameras and jewelry which can be disposed of quickly for profit.
Another major problem is health. With greater mobility comes greater danger of spreading contagious diseases
around the world. One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed.
Moreover, the emergence of many diseases which resist antibiotics is causing scientists to be increasingly concerned
about this issue.
Also to be considered is the natural environment, which can be seriously threatened by too many visitors.
Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of being destroyed by tourists and there are plans to restrict
visitors to some of the more delicate coral cays.
These are just three of the reasons why any country should be wary of committing itself to an extensive tourism
development program.
30. According to the text, what is the relationship between tourism industry and the spread of disease?
A. A sick person from another country can infect other people in the country he/she visits.
B. A person from a country may be sick in the destination country
C. A sick tourist may not be treated well in the destination country
D. A tourist may not realize that he/she carries a disease while traveling
E. A tourist will not get the medication while he/she travels
Starbucks Korea is testing out the use of paper straws at some 100 stores across Seoul, Busan and Jeju, the
company said on Monday.
The two-month-long trial is part of the global coffeehouse chain’s plan to phase out plastic straws and reduce the
negative impact on the environment. After gathering consumer feedback through the test run, paper straws will be
introduced at all its stores in November, the company said.
Long time ago, things on this Earth were bigger and better than they are today. Fruits, Vegetables, grains,
even people animals were bigger and stronger.
Those were the days when people didn’t have to work very hard. When the grains of rice were ripe, they
just fell down on their own and went rolling into the village. There they would offer themselves to be eaten.
Once, an old woman and her daughter were building a storehouse for rice. A big grain of rice came rolling
in before the building was ready. Being already tired of hard work, the old woman became angry when she saw
the grain of rice rolling down to her incomplete storehouse. She kicked the rice and said” Could you not wait in
the field till we were ready? Why do you keep running after us?”
The grain of rice broke into thousands of pieces and said” We have always been kind to you. We give you
food to eat. We make things easy for you so we come to you and don’t give you trouble of collecting us in field.
From now on, we will not come to you. You will have to come and gather us. You will have to cook and eat a lot
of grains of rice to fill your stomach.”
From that day on wards, rice grains have become smaller in size. They do not come to people as they used
to come earlier. People have to gather grains from the fields and carry them to their stores and homes
35. Which is the most possible reason why the story was created?
