Unit 1●Text A（1）Why do people like travelling so much?Because traveling can not only broaden one’s mind, but also provide ample chances to satisfy the need of one’s self-actualization or self-realization which is at the top of the hierarchy of human needs.（2）What helps to stimulate the tourist industry both at home and abroad?The desire to know about other places or countries, to search for all kinds of experiences, to meet new people and make new friendships, etc. helps to stimulate the tourist industry.（3）Can traveling relieve the people from the strain and stress in our fast-developing modern society? Why?Exactly. Because in the fast-developing modern society, strain and stress have become part of an individual's life, so traveling can help people get away from their dull and stressful daily routine for some time; and on the other hand, in order to regain their energy, people are willing to undertake certain activities or rest and relax themselves in the environments totally different from their usual ones.（4）In order to meet the needs of travelers' demands, what kind of special services should the travel agencies consider offering?Since people are social beings who like to communicate with each other, and they usually put more emphasis on the process of their trip than on their destination. To cater to this need, travel agencies should develop special products for certain ethnic areas and provide specialized tours for people to return and visit "the old country" where some tourists may pick up a genealogical line or find their roots.（5）How can we improve the present situation of transportation and reduce the cost of travel? On one hand, the government should not only quicken the infrastructure construction, but also develop economy, improve the income and life of its residents and at the same time, make certain policies to reduce the cost of travel.●Text B（1）旅游给人们提供了了解其他风俗文化的机会，同时也丰富了他们的知识。
