Tourism broadens the thinking of the traveler and leads to culture contact between the hosts and guests from far-off places. This can benefit the locals, since tourists bring culture with them.

Tourism may help to preserve local customs, as when traditional shows, parades, celebration and festivals are put on for tourists. The musicals, plays and serious drama of London theatres and other kinds of nightlife are largely supported by tourists. Such events might disappear without the stimulus of tourism to maintain them.

On the other hand, tourism often contributes to the disappearance of local traditions and folk songs. Churches, temples and other similar places are treated as tourist attractions. This can be at the expense of their original function: how many tourists want to worship in the middle of a flow of atheist invaders (无神论侵犯者) ? Who would want to pray while curious onlookers walk back and forth with guide books, rather than prayer books in their hands?

Tourism may bring other indirect cultural consequences. Anxiety which already exists between ancient and more modern ways may be deepened by tourists' ignorance of local customs and beliefs. Tourists, if not actually richer, often seem more well-off than natives. The former may therefore feel superior, leaving the latter embarrassed about their lifestyles. The result may be an inferior feeling which hardly helps the sense of identity which is so important to regional culture. The poverty of locality can look

even worse when contrasted with the comfortable hotel environment where the average life expectancy is 75 years, may well cause anger in Sierra Leone , where the local population can expect to live to no more than 41 years. The relative prosperity (繁荣) of tourism may encourage crime. In Gambia, unemployed young people offer to act as guides in return for money. When the tourism season is over they can no longer get wages that way so that they turn to stealing from the locals. All this affects the local social life and culture badly.

Culture erosion (侵蚀) can also take place at more unnoticeable levels. Greek villagers traditionally prided themselves on their hospitality (好客). They would put up travelers for free, feeding them and listening to their stories. To take money would have been a disgrace. That has changed now. Tourists exist to be exploited. Perhaps this is hardly surprising if the earnings from one room rented to a tourist can exceed a teacher's monthly salary.

第五部分 书面表达（满分25分）

Technology has linked us in ways we never could have imagined. We have the power to use social networking sites to communicate with friends across the country or the world at our fingertips. But as we have become ever more addicted to our smartphones and tablet computers, some people have felt the need to go offline by taking a digital detox (戒毒) break.

However, a recent study showed that despite their best efforts, the majority of respondents have failed to turn off their smartphone or tablet computers while they have been away.

“Our over-reliance on technology has come at a price, with travelers feeling unable to escape social media,” Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guide brand, noted.
