How does a travel agency organize a travel? We have seen that there are various activities which a travel agency has to perform in order that an intending traveler undertakes his proposed journey and enjoys a holiday of his choice. There are various steps involved from the time a traveler visits a travel agent to buy a ticket until he returns back home after visiting a place of his choice. Generally speaking, organized travel by a travel agency can be of two types: 1. single client; 2. group client.

A further problem of mass tourism is that created by congestion. The subject of congestion can be considered in three ways. There is first the question of the physical capacity of an attraction to absorb tourists;car parks, streets, beaches, ski slopes cathedrals and similar features all have a finite limit to the numbers of tourists that can be accommodated at any given time. However, a second consideration is psychological capacity of a site—the degree of congestion which tourists will tolerate before the site begins to lose its appeal. Quantifying this is no easy matter since perception of capacity will differ, not just according to the nature of the site itself but according to the market which it attracts.

The game-show from NBC was ______.

Which of the following statement is true according to the vision statement of Space Adventures plans of Space Island?

(2)

Russia’s Mir space station was supposed to be the first destination for space tourists. But in March 2001, the Russian Aerospace Agency brought Mir down into the Pacific Ocean. As it turned out, bringing down Mir only temporarily delayed the first tourist trip into space.

The Mir crash did cancel plans for a new reality-based game show from NBC, which was going to be called Destination Mir. The Survivor-like TV show was scheduled to air in fall 2001.Participants on the show were to go through training at Russia’s cosmonaut training center, Star City. Each week, one of the participants would be eliminated from the show, with the winner receiving a trip to the Mir space station. The Mir crash has ruled out NBC’s space plans for now. NASA is against beginning space tourism until the International Space Station is completed in 2006.

Russia is not alone in its interest in space tourism. There are several projects underway to commercialize space travel. Here are a few of the groups that might take tourists to space: 

Space Island Group is going to build a ring-shaped, rotating “commercial space infrastructure” that will resemble the Discovery spacecraft in the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.”Space Island says it will build its space city out of empty NASA space-shuttle fuel tanks, and place it about 400 miles above Earth. The space city will rotate once per minute to create a gravitational pull one-third as strong as Earth’s.

What is the relationship between leisure and recreation, according to the author?

From the passage we know that ______.

How to spend leisure time wisely is NOT a particularly difficult problem for people ______.

(1)

The problem of leisure is new. Until very recent times people worked each day to the limit of their strength. Of course there were always a privileged few who had leisure; but most men had to work 12,14, or even 16 hours a day, six days a week. As late as 1840 the average factory worker labored 72 hours a week. “Sunup to sundown” was the farmer’s day, or as another phrase puts it,“from can to can’t.”

Today, working less than a 40-hour week, people enjoy more leisure time. Hence, the wise use of leisure time has become an important problem for everyone, young or old. It is a particularly difficult problem for the sick, the aged, and those who have retired from earning a living. Those people have so much leisure that it is hard for them to find interesting and worthwhile ways to use it .

However short the work week becomes, work is still the most important part of life. We do not work to get leisure and the pleasures leisure brings us; rather, we use leisure wisely so that work itself can become awarding and enjoyable. The feeling of success at doing one’s daily work—whether it is a job, maintaining a home, or going to school—depends largely on coming to it each day with fresh energy and active interest.

Leisure and recreation go together, though they are not necessarily the same thing.“Recreation” has an obvious meaning. It is the kind of leisure activity that brings "re-creation" of strength and spirit. When one speaks of making good use of leisure, he means choosing recreational activities which contribute to health, growth, and spirit.

The phrase “from can to can’t” in Line 5, Paragraph 1 means ______.
