71、tional tourism, the main characteristic（特色）of “Green Tourism” is learning more about nature and people. Traditionally, people travel the world to amuse themselves and pass time pleasantly. But “Green Tourists” are different. They travel because they are attracted by the characteristics of protected

Because we are exposed to differing points of view through different kinds of media every day, we are able to evaluate all s
