Alone But Not Lonely
    In today’s fast-paced society, we've become uncomfortable with silence. We try to find different types of activities that can help us escape feelings of laziness or boredom,  36     Solitude（独处）does not have to be uncomfortable or lonely.  In fact, solitude and loneliness are very different things.
    The death of a loved one or the inability to find people who understand you can leave you feeling lonely. Even if you are surrounded by other people, it's natural to experience an emptiness while longing for love or acceptance.   37     
Geoffrey F. Fisher once said, “In cities, no one is quiet but many are lonely.  38     
    We often fill loneliness with all types of unsatisfying activities. Young people would rather spend a Friday night out with strangers, than spend the night alone. They're looking for a way to kill time while they await true friendship. Then there are young adults in gangs where they don't really like their companions.   39   Why does being alone scare us?
    Do not be afraid of silence.   40    It teaches you how to truly listen. It teaches you to pay attention to what's going on inside of you. Only when we are alone can we have the space and peace we need to think without being outwardly influenced. It therefore becomes easier to make important decisions as well as to reflect on how we are feeling.
 
A. Loneliness is therefore a feeling that can be experienced whether or not one is physically alone.
B. They would rather feel accepted on a shallow level than risk feeling alone.
C. The problem of loneliness can be easily solved in a modern world.
D. But, when doing so, the main thing we.-are trying to avoid is loneliness.
E. In the country, people are quiet but few are lonely.
F. It can provide you with amazing benefits.
G. It guides you through hardships.

    Eco-tourism involves people traveling to beautiful but environmental sensitive places. Such trips are   41     carried out with an experienced guide. Over recent years, this type of travel has been steadily gaining    42     as more people search for new travel experiences.
Eco-tourism has many benefits. First, all the   43    spent by the tourists is used to  44    
the important environmental spots they visit.  Second, it helps   45    to better understand the environment, thereby    46   their knowledge of the world. Furthermore, this style of travel is also more   47    of the local culture.
    Compared to   48   tourists, eco-tourists use energy more efficiently, save water and produce less rubbish by finding ways to   49   it. These behaviours have a   50   and lasting effect on the local environment.
    Two things are needed to make eco-tourism a/an   51    . First, it should be done in small groups. And second, because it requires considerable effort, both eco-tourists and locals must be   52      in their commitment to improving the environment.
    Green travel provides local people with jobs in parks,    53     and shops. One great achievement of eco-tourism has been the   54  of illegal hunting. Former hunters can now work as guides to help keep the animals    55   in their natural surroundings. Green travel also   56
local people's quality of life, especially children's.
Peru is one country using eco-tourism to promote respect for the   57     . It's now able to take better care of its rainforests because of a/an   58   on more sustainable(可持续的)travel.
  59     this, local people's living-standards have improved. Many others are now following Peru's 60      and using eco-tourism to preserve their environment for the future generations.
