第二节读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150左右的英语短文。 
It is exciting to visit different places. As you travel, you will see beautiful sceneries typical of the region. Besides, you can meet and make friends with people of different colors and races. Today people are so fond of traveling that tourism has become one of the developing industries in most countries.
Recent years have seen a tendency in China that tourism is growing faster. According to a recent survey made by some experts, about 47% urban residents travel regularly, and 28% rural residents also make their tour across the country. The survey also shows that more people are interested in tourism, and will join the army in the future.
Facing this tendency, we can't help exploring some underlying factors that are responsible. In the very first place, with the policy of reform and opening up, Chinese people's living standard has greatly been improved, and therefore, most of them can afford to travel around. What's more, it is believed that people now take a more positive attitude to tourism. In addition, tourism facilities are becoming better and better. For example, transportation develops fast, and many scenic spots are available now.
Though there are still some problems with tourism, I personally believe that tourism should be playing a key role in our life. I also hope that our government will make policies to create a better environment for tourists.

Answer 1

Traveling can bring us a lot of benefits, which in turn promotes the development of tourism. Though it has some disadvantages, more and more people now show great interest in traveling.
People travel both for pleasure and for learning.
By traveling we can enjoy the beautiful scenery in different places. We will visit many famous cities and scenic spots with our own eyes and taste different delicious foods. Traveling abroad is an especially satisfying experience for those who do not have much of an opportunity to be away from their homelands.
We will meet people with different interests and see strange and different things when we travel. Travel will not only help us to know about customs of other people, but also will help us gain knowledge of history, geography, biology, and other knowledge of the places we visit. In this way, we can understand how differently other people live and arouse our deep love for our motherland
