Nowadays more and more people are crazy about travelling. Why do people travel?  “To see more of the world,” many people would say. But travelling abroad now means much more than that for the growing number of Chinese tourists. Of course it o    86      us good opportunities to meet people from other countries, learn about their culture and customs.

According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), more than 1 billion people travelled to a    87      country in 2012. In 2012, Chinese people travelled abroad 30 percent more than in 2011. The prosperity (繁荣) of the tourism industry can also bring both our country and foreign countries in economy of great benefits. Chinese people usually join large tourist groups and visit several countries in one trip.

“A Chinese person is not going to the Mediterranean (地中海地区) just to visit one place…These are the travelers of the future,” said the UNWTO.

Chinese people don’t just travel for s    88     , either.

The China International Travel Service Company said that all their tour trips sold out a month before Christmas Day. Stores offered discounts during that time. So shopping in Europe and the United States is popular a    89      Chinese travelers.

In December, China is going through a very cold winter. So many people like go to some  countries in Southeast Asia because the weather there is quite p    90     .

“I want to enjoy the sunshine and beaches there, rather than the cold in Beijing,” said Hong Qian, who took a holiday to Malaysia. He spent ten days there with his family. His wife was very interested in Penang, an island city in Malaysia.

The improvement of living standards means more Chinese can travel abroad. But many of them don’t have a s    91      of public manners. A report by Living Social website in March 2012 even listed Chinese as the world’s second worst tourists, after Americans.

If you want to change that bad name, remember to avoid the following: littering, spitting, snatching (抢夺) bus seats, line-jumping, taking off shoes in public, talkingl    92      and smoking in non-smoking areas. Besides, we should learn some necessary manners of foreign countries.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题)  ( 12分)

If you dropped a piece of fruit on your computer keyboard, would you think about eating it again? What if you dropped it in the toilet? Bacteria (细菌) can live everywhere, even in some unexpected places.

If you eat at your computer, sneeze on your keyboard, or sit down to surf the Internet without first washing your hands, your computer keyboard could be bad for your health. According to the US National Research Centre, the average computer carries 400 times more bacteria than a toilet bowl (抽水马桶).

Could one of the dirtiest things in your home be right in your hand? Yes: the TV remotecontrol. It gets dropped on the floor, put on the sofa and everyone in the house holds it. Scientists found that around half of the tested remote controls carry the coldvirus (病毒).

Don’t forget your toothbrush. Do you put it in the bathroom? Studies show thatflushing (抽水冲洗) the toilet releases (释放) bacteria in the air. Bacteria can remain in the air for at least two hours. They may pollute your toothbrush. You can find ways to solve this problem. Try to keep your toothbrush far from the toilet. Make sure that it is in an upright position after each use. It’s also important to change your toothbrush every three months.

Here are some other places to watch out for:

At home

The kitchen is one of the places with the most bacteria—more than the bathroom. Dishcloths and kitchen sponges (海绵) are great places for bacteria since they are always wet after being used. Try to make them dry.

At school

When you put your schoolbags on the floor or in the bus, many bacteria can live on thebottom (底部) of it. Try to clean your schoolbag often.

In public places

Escalator handrails (电梯扶手), shoppingcart handles (推车手柄), public books and magazines are top bacteria carriers. That’s why the first thing to do when getting home is to wash your hands.

Yes, bacteria are everywhere. But don’t be too afraid to touch those things. Most of bacteria  are harmless. Just remember to wash your hands regularly. It is the most useful way to protect yourself from bacteria and viruses.
