Where should an adventurous tourist go? After you've done sightseeing in London, shopping in New York, tasted the local food in Paris, and danced to your heart's content at the Brazilian Carnival, where else can you go? What exotic (异国风情的) tourist destination awaits you?

Well, Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime! It's considered the last great wilderness

on Earth. Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can cope with the low temperatures.

Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still a small scale. About 37,000 tourists are expected there this season, but many won't even leave the boat.

The BBC's Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all, causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave footprints and they all go to the same place, the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins and seals go to breed.

But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it needs advocates. Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation. And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming, which has led to the melting of glaciers.

According to Rix, guidelines are followed when you're about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect (为……消毒) their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.

And once on land, there's no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragments — nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind. Tourists fortunate enough to visit Antarctica must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.

A．governments should take measures to stop tourists from going to Antarctica B．whether tourists should go to Antarctica or not should be considered carefully C．the animals' habitat in Antarctica has been seriously affected by tourism

考虑一下。

8．Which of the following is the best title of this passage? A．Why can't tourists go to Antarctica? B．How can tourists go to Antarctica? C．Should tourists go to Antarctica? D．Are tourists allowed to go to Antarctica?

Texting while driving can be serious. Adding to the peril:_texting and driving while asleep at the wheel. A woman in New Zealand managed to drive and even send her friends text messages for hours while asleep, according to a story in the New Zealand Herald. Surprisingly, she did not get into an accident.

According to News 3 New Zealand, the woman, who suffers from a sleep condition and was taking sleeping pills at the time, drove around New Zealand all night. The sleep-driver left her house in Hamilton, headed to Auckland and then to her former home in Mount Maunganui on the coast late on Tuesday night, driving for a total of five hours and about 190 miles. As she sleep-drove, she texted her friends, who believed she sent them while half asleep, says New Zealand's News 3.

Police say that although the woman was texting during her drive, she was unaware the entire time and has no memory of the nighttime ride. The police began tracking the woman's movement through her cellphone after receiving a call from a concerned friend, but weren't able to find her as

she kept driving.“While all this was going on, we were scanning any reports of unusual or concerning driving as we tried to find the Toyota and prevent a possible tragedy (悲剧)，” police officer Dave Litton was quoted in the Daily Mail.

Police said that the woman's cousin finally found her in her former house on the coast, asleep. “While her being found safe and well is a relief for everyone involved, the possibility for tragedy was huge and we're urging people suffering medical conditions to be open and honest with their doctors and seek advice，” Litton told the New Zealand Herald.
