Mass tourism involves huge numbers of people going to the same resort often at the same time of year. It is a popular form of tourism and is often (26) through ready-made holiday packages. The traditional sun, sea and sand holiday to the Spanish Costas is an example of mass tourism, Specialised tourism is the provision of customised tourism (27) that cater to the specific interests of groups and individuals. An individualised tour itinerary with a chauffeur and your own tour guide is an example of specialised tourism. There are three (28)_ reasons why people travel – for leisure, for business or to visit friends and relatives. Destinations are often geared towards one type of tourism; for example a beach resort will appeal mainly to leisure tourists, (29) a purpose-built conference resort will appeal mainly to business tourists. Business tourists tend to visit urban areas whereas leisure visitors tend to find countryside locations offer the best facilities for recreational activities.

A study by St. Louis University has found that a lovable dog named Sparky and a robotic dog, AIBO, were about equally effective at reducing the loneliness of nursing home residents. The study confirmed previous findings that dogs have a good effect on nursing home residents. Dr. Andrew Smith led the Stanford University team that built a home-assistance robot. “If humans can feel an emotional tie with robots, some day they could be not just our assistants, but also our companions,” he said. To test whether residents responded better to Sparky, a trained dog, or the Sonymade robotic dog, researchers divided 38 nursing home residents into three groups at three long-term care centers in St. Louis. One group had weekly 30-minute oneon-one visits with Sparky; another group had similar visits with AIBO; a control group had no contact with either dog. The groups’ respective levels of loneliness were tested by having them answer a number of questions at the beginning and near the end of the visits. After two months, both groups that had contact with the dogs were less lonely and more attached. Most of the elderly regarded Sparky, a 9-year-old dog, as an audience for their life stories, said investigator Marian Banks. “He listened attentively, wagged his tail, and allowed them to pet him,” said Banks, who adopted and trained Sparky after finding him in a street behind her home seven years ago. Those who were together with AIBO took a little longer to warm up to the robotic creature. Over time, however, they grew comfortable with him, and petted and talked to him. He would respond by wagging his tail, vocalizing, and blinking his lights. “AIBO is charming once you start to interact with him,” said the study’s author, Dr. William Banks, “He’s an attractive sort of guy. He gives a feeling of being personal, not just a robot.” (www.startribune.com > in-the-future-a-robotic-rover) Question 31: Before the new study, it was known that A. robots were effective at reducing people’s loneliness B. robots could build close connection with humans C. dogs could help get rid of old people’s loneliness D. dogs and robots were equally effective at reducing loneliness Question 32: The underlined word “attached” in the passage most probably means W WWW . www ——-..

Current estimates indicate that roughly 83 million people are being added to the world’s population every year. Even assuming that fertility levels will continue to decline, the global population is expected to reach 8.6 billion in 2030, 9.8 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion in 2100, according to the medium-variant projection. The UN Population Division collaborates closely with the agencies, funds, programmes and bodies of the United Nations system in the implementation of the work programme on population and in the follow-up to the International Conference on Population and Development. United Nations missions, national Government offices, United Nations offices, researchers, media representatives and the public regularly consult the Population Division regarding population estimates and projections, and information and analyses on population and development issues. At its thirty-eighth session, the Statistical Commission requested the United Nations Statistics Division and other international agencies to increase their technical assistance to national statistical offices in order to strengthen national capacity for the implementation of the 2010 World Programme on Population and Housing Censuses. In addition, the Commission requested countries to begin implementation of the revised Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses. United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) works with many partners, both within and outside the United Nations system, including Governments, non-governmental organizations, civil society, faith-based organizations, religious leaders and others, to achieve its mission. To better respond to local needs, UNFPA increasingly devotes resources to country-led efforts, placing emphasis on country-focused and countryled implementation to achieve improved results, at the same time addressing mutual accountability and strengthening harmonization and alignment. UNFPA works to support family planning by: ensuring a steady, reliable supply of quality contraceptives; strengthening national health systems, advocating for policies supportive of family planning; and gathering data to support this work. UNFPA also provides global leadership in increasing access to family planning, by convening partners – including governments – to develop evidence and policies, and by offering programmatic, technical and financial assistance to developing countries.
