Tribes (部落) in Danger

The Jarawa, a tribe of 200-300 people, live on the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean. They look very different from their Indian neighbours. Most probably, their closest relatives are Africans. No one outside the tribe really speaks their language, so not much       1     (know) about them.

But we do know       2     the Jarawa live. They are nomadic (游牧) people,       3     (move) from place to place to find food. They hunt small animals and fish, they find berries, honey, and they are self-sufficient — they do everything by       4    .

The threats to the Jarawa started in 1970. A road was built through the forest     5     they live, and the Indian authorities decided to build towns and “settlers” were brought from other places     6     (live) in them. They also wanted the Jarawa to live in the towns. This policy is called “forced settlement”, and it has been a disaster for tribal peoples in places all over the world. It’s clear why:     7     forced settlement, tribes are no longer self-sufficient, and they can easily get new diseases. A tribe’s sense of identity can easily be destroyed.

But in the case of the Jarawa, it seems that the fight against these dangers has been successful, thanks to Survival, an organization     8     (devote) to protecting endangered tribes, and the campaigns that they’ve organized. For a number of years, Survival asked the Indian government to respect the Jarawa’s rights to live on their land. As a result of the campaign, there was a court case. Eventually not only     9     the authorities close the road through the Jarawa’s land, but also remove the settlers. Now Survival     10     (fight) for the Jarawa’s right to own their land and to make their own choices about the way they live.

4 . Tips to Keep Your Personal Items Safe While Travelling

You might be surprised to hear that even in the limited space of an airplane, thefts still do occur. In a case reported, two men on board a flight were arrested after being suspected of stealing cash from fellow passengers’ mid-flight.     1     While airlines don’t advertise the fact, they’re not as rare as you may think. There are some tips to ensure you don’t become the victim of such crimes.

    2     This is especially important if you have a black, featureless bag. For example, you can sew a symbol on it or write your initials on the bag.

Keep your valuables such as cash, your ID and passport, and jewellery in a small bag that you can place under the seat in front of you. Rest your feet on your bag to make sure no one gets close to the bag.     3     It takes just a few seconds for experienced thieves to steal your bag, so never give them the opportunity by leaving it unattended.

    4     For example, you can divide your cash into three portions and keep some in your small bag, some in a pair of jeans that’s rolled up in your checked baggage, and some in your toiletries bag (化妆包). In this way, even if you lose one stash of money, you will not be left with absolutely no cash.

A．To ensure you get enough storage room, try to board the flight early.

B．Bring it with you whenever you leave your seat.

C．Thieves won’t spend too long on locked bags as it may draw attention to themselves.

D．Cases like this are known as in-flight, or mid-flight thefts.

E．Keep your cash or credit cards in different hiding places.

F．Make sure your bag is easily recognizable so thieves can’t just switch it out with a similar looking bag.

5 . Many of the world’s most famous landmarks now offer virtual tours, meaning people can visit museums, world heritage sites and other attractions from the comfort of the sofa. Such virtual travel experiences, as some experts have considered as an eco-friendly solution to the problem of overtourism, are seeing an increase in popularity. For overcrowded destinations, virtual reality experiences can help divert (使改道) some tourists, easing the burden on the location’s infrastructure (基础设施).

However, there’s a big gap between using virtual reality to “try before you buy” and treating virtual reality like the destination itself.

To start with, the technology isn’t ready yet. 360-degree virtual reality videos are usually experienced through a headset or an app. The headsets are expensive and heavy, and aren’t comfortable to wear for more than 30 minutes. The apps have none of these problems, but simply aren’t as impressive.

Limited physical feelings are another problem. The videos focus on sounds and sights but can’t do much with smell, touch, or taste, and VR experiences tend to only be a few minutes long—hardly equal to a two-week vacation in Spain. Some researchers are creating a full-body suit with enhanced sensory experiences, but it still doesn’t satisfy the deeper needs that make people travel.

What’s more, tourists on virtual tours see a world only to the extent that someone was able to film and construct it. In a virtual experience, visitors can’t choose to wander down a side street and discover a charming café—unless those options have already been programmed. It can definitely disappoint those who tend to be less directed in their explorations and more focused on new experiences and discoveries.

Virtual reality may never replace traditional travel, but it still offers possibilities. If the technology becomes advanced enough, those who are more environmentally conscious among us—especially those aiming to reduce our carbon footprint—might prefer this form of escape. Also, VR travel does bring parts of the world to people who are physically unable to visit certain landmarks.

1. The followings are the benefits brought by virtual travel experiences EXCEPT that _______.

A．people can tour some dreamed sites without dealing with lines and crowds

B．the impact of tourism on the environment can be minimized

C．people are able to explore the world without leaving home

D．the travelers’ financial burden can be relieved to some extent

2. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．The full-body suit meets the deeper needs of the tourists.

B．An expensive headset is a must for experiencing virtual tours.

C．People can only see what is constructed and programmed on virtual tours.

D．Virtual tours satisfy those who are fond of adventuring at will.

3. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of virtual tours?

A．Indifferent.

B．Pessimistic.

C．Critical.

D．Optimistic.
