英語(yǔ)專四:旅游

Tourism, a "smokeless industry", is developing rapidly in China. With the "open and reform" policy being carried out, thousands upon thousands of foreign visitors are crowding into our country. They are eager to see this old mysterious land with a splendid culture of more than 5 thousand years. Tourism is bringing China a lot of benefits. First, it enables the Chinese people to learn more about the outside world and promotes friendship and mutual understanding. Second, it is financially beneficial to China, which needs more foreign currency for its modernization program. Tourism, however, is giving rise to a number of problems. For instance, it is becoming a burden on our inefficient transport system. Besides, the standard of living of the average Chinese person is still not high enough to be able to afford the many different sorts of expenses met on long distance travel. But it is believed that with the development of our national economy, all these problems will certainly be solved step by step. A much better and brighter future awaits us.
