After a bming summer seasn, the turism market has seen an upsurge( 激 增 ) in bth the supply and demand sides, especially because the cinciding(重合) f Mid-Autumn Festival and the Natinal Day resulted in an "eight-day Glden Week" hliday.
Befre the hliday, the Ministry f Culture and Turism tk multiple measures t enhance the quality f cultural and turism prducts, such as imprving prducts n the theme f family reunin. Fr the benefit f businesses and the public, it has extended financial supprt fr "cultural and turism cnsumptin actin plan" in a hundred cities and districts which prvides cnsumer subsidies(补贴), ticket discunts.
The turism industry saw an explsive upsurge during the eight-day hliday. The railways,
befre the hliday, said they expected t recrd abut 190 millin passenger trips. The airlines, n the ther hand, expected mre than 21 millin passenger trips during the hliday.
And Ctrip reprted mre than a fur times increase in dmestic htel searches cmpared with the same perid in 2022 and 120 percent mre than the 2019 hliday seasn. Als, lng-distance travel and family trips remained ppular chices while cultural perfrmances and museums drew mre yung turists.
The relaxatin f traveling abrad has created favrable cnditins fr the recvery f the freign turism sectr. In August, the Ministry f Culture and Turism annunced the grup turism t 78 cuntries, including Japan, the Republic f Krea, and the United States, raising the ttal number f such cuntries t 138.
Yet the surge in the turism market is bth a blessing and a challenge fr turist spts. Overcrwding in scenic spts, difficulty in btaining tickets fr certain attractins and museums, ptential risks, and unsatisfying turism services are still cmmn. T address these challenges, we prpse the fllwing.

Many animals mve frm ne place t anther at certain times f the year. This annual mvement is called migratin. Fr an adult African elephant, migrating is n easy task.
While they face scarce water supplies and 120-degree temperatures n their track, peple are their number-ne prblem. Warfare destrys fd n which migrating elephants depend and creates dangerus areas where elephants cannt travel safely. Wrse still, many African peple have traded nmadic(游牧的) lifestyles fr farming. Unfrtunately fr elephants, farmers set up fences t prtect crps and dmestic animals, many f which blck regular migratin paths.
Rads als disturb elephant migratin. Thse utside natinal park bundaries are prir paching(偷猎) spts. Elephants knw unguarded rads are dangerus. During ne study f 28 elephants in Central Africa, nly ne female crssed an unprtected rad. When she finally crssed, she mved 14 times faster than she did when crssing a prtected rad inside a park.
T help, medical prcedures are taken t keep male elephants frm breeding, which reduces the number f births and the envirnmental pressure n regins where elephants cannt migrate. Even thugh African elephants are the largest land animal, the rle that its migratin plays in the entire ecsystem is nt fully understd. GPS tracking cllars can help these elephant “travel agents” map which rutes elephants use mst. Dr. Michael Chase, the funder f Elephants Withut Brders, tracks elephants in 22 cuntries with technlgy. “If we are able t identify hw elephants mve…we can link up habitats frm ne cuntry t the ther,” he says. In many pr areas f Africa, since n ther paying wrk is available, pachers illegally kill elephants and sell irny( 象 牙 ) t feed their families. When pachers becme park staff, they will have mney t feed their families and meanwhile elephants will be prtected.
The elephant is the ambassadr fr cnservatin. Prtecting elephant migratin rutes will allw these gentle giants t thrive.
Why is it tugh fr the elephants n the mve?
The weather is changeable.
Water supplies are sufficient.
Wars disturb regular migratin .
Migratin is affected by nmadic lifestyles.
What des the underlined “thse” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Elephants.B. Unguarded rads.C. Pachers.D. Migratins.
What des paragraph 4 mainly talk abut?
The elephants are in serius truble.
The migratins f wild animals are mysterius.
Measures can be taken t safeguard the future f the elephants.
There may cme a time when the number f elephants rises again.
What can we learn frm Michael Chase’s wrds?
The habitats f elephants will be cmpletely destryed.
It is impssible t track the migratins f elephants.
Migratin rutes are identified t keep elephants frm mving.
It has far-reaching impact t unlck the secret f elephants’ migratins.

The Histry f the Autmbile
The autmbile, mre cmmnly knwn as the car, certainly cunts as ne f the greatest inventins in human histry. 36
As t wh invented the autmbile, the answer is nt quite s clear-cut. While sme give credit t Karl Benz, wh patented the first gas-pwered vehicle in 1886, thers give the praise t Gttlieb Daimelr. Incidentally, the tw inventrs' cmpanies merge( 合 并 ) in 1926 t frm the famus Mercedes-Benz.
37It was Henry Frd wh designed a system f mass prductin that allwed him t prduce cars far mre cheaply, which in turn meant he culd sell them at lwer prices. By 1927, 15 millin f Frd's famus all-black Mdel Ts had been prduced. Mass car wnership had becme a reality.
38 Inventrs were wrking n electric vehicles arund the same time that gas-pwered nes were being develped. The first electric car was designed in 1884 by Thmas Parker, the same man wh electrified the Lndn Undergrund. By 1900, electric vehicles were giving gas cars a run fr their mney. They were quiet, did nt give ff emissins, and were easier t drive, especially fr wmen. 39 They were difficult t charge when mst peple's hmes didn't have electricity. They were als rather expensive. In the end, Henry Frd's cheap Mdel T put an end t interest in electric cars which didn't becme ppular until the gas shrtages and envirnmental cncerns f the late 20th century.
Nw, early in the 21st century, we find urselves n the brink f yet anther age in autmbile histry. Electric cars are set t make the gas-guzzler( 油 老 虎 ) ut f date. 40 Benz, Daimler and Parker wuld surely be amazed by hw far their dreams have cme.
But why were early electric cars nt ppular?
Hwever, they weren't withut shrtcmings.
They were als ppular in Eurpean cuntries.
It allws peple t travel great distances quickly, safely and cheaply.
And self-driving cars may sn make human drivers a thing f the past.
At first, Eurpean mdels were far t expensive fr mst peple t buy.
Many peple think f electric vehicles as a new inventin, but actually that's nt the case.

I acquired a lt by watching animals. They have tales t tell and lessns t teach fr any wh have the penness t watch, 41and learn.
We have three rsters（公鸡）, each with a different persnality and a different vice.
Stew is 42the leading rster. He has the "perfect" vice and star lks, suitable fr
43 in a mvie. Typical f his kind, he is well aware f his talent and appearance. Stew ften sings at 4:00 AM t 44 the dawn befre this part f the glbe has even thught f circling t it. He lks after the hens, knwing that he has imprtant wrk t d. Anther f ur rsters is Smker. He may nt have "the sund" r "the lk", but he takes his place in the rder f things withut giving evidence f 45 r ingratitude. He is the ne wh 46 lks fr danger and makes a(n) unpleasant sund like cughing when he thinks there’s a(n) 4 7 nearby. The third rster is Rcky. One mrning I heard a sund that made me 48 ut f the huse. I thught ne f the birds was in hrrible pain. Frtunately, there were n 4 9 . I realized that Rcky was learning t sing. Rcky didn't seem 50 that his call was nt perfect. Nne f the ther chickens r rsters 51 him r tld him t be quiet. Nne f them said, "Stew sunds s much better than yu d."
Even if Smker frever sunds like he has prblems with his lung and Rcky always sunds like he is in screaming agny(痛苦), it just wuldn’t be 52 withut the calls f all three f the rsters. I enjy hearing them all, even if Stew ften wakes me up and the ther tw sund ill.
Perhaps n human chir wuld accept a member with such a vice as Smker r Rcky, but everyne has 53 gifts, and nbdy is better than anybdy else because f ur talents. Sme peple have beautiful bdies. Sme peple have the talent t sing sngs r 54 stries r create magnificent artwrk. Sme have the talent t help thers feel secure. Others are just finding ut what talents they have t ffer.
S, we can 55 a lt frm nature if we have eyes t see, ears t hear, and brains enugh t pay attentin.

It was the afternn befre Christmas Eve as I lked tiredly at my yungest daughter Kitty’s wish list fr her presents. Majr dental surgery（牙科手术）tw days earlier had left my face painfully swllen (肿胀的), and mst surely influenced my hliday spirit.
T make matters wrse, Kitty had prvided me with the wrld's least helpful list: "Smething red. Smething ld. Smething yu can put things in. Smething strange ..."
After cmpleting the imprtant shpping f lts f fd necessary fr a big family gathering the next day, I was just quite tired and impatient. But n matter hw hard it was t please my yungest daughter, I culdn't let her dwn. Then her lder sister Helen came up with the slutin. The lcal antique stre was sure t have smething that fitted Kitty's wish list. Owned by an extremely nice cuple, the place was packed with valuable things and als nt-s-valuable nes.
Surely, it was the last place where I wanted t g. Three years befre, I had rushed ut f the place in tears after selling them my grandmther's silver frks and spns and mst imprtantly my valued ballet-dancer dll. That year had been difficult, and thugh I tld myself that they were nly things, it hurt t trade my remaining valued things, especially my ballet-dancer dll, fr cmmn things such as electricity and fd. The shame f crying in public ver it nly made matters wrse. Since that year, I had never visited that stre.
After this lng perid f time and with a greatly swllen face, I thught it was unlikely that the wners f the stre wuld recgnize me. And, sure enugh, the place ffered gifts fr every pssible taste.
S in the afternn befre Christmas Eve, wearing a hat, I left hme tgether with Helen t the antique stre t pick up the gifts that Kitty wanted. Befre lng, we arrived at the stre. While walking and chsing the gift there, I wndered, “What if the wners recgnize me?”
