Many years ago, my dad was facing a serious heart condition. He was unable to do a steady job. He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.

He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them.

One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.”At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends.

Proving a five-star hotel in the middle of a valuable wilderness(荒野) without damaging the environment might not be easy, but it is far from impossible.The King

Pacific Lodge in British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest shows that if enough care and attention is taken, the task is within the reach of any tourist provider.

Unlike many other hotel building projects, no trees were cut down and no land was wasted in order to build it. The Lodge does not have the same location but sits on a floating boat pulled into the sea bay in May, till September. Those wishing to stay in one of its seventeen rooms must access it by boat or seaplane. Each guest staying at the Lodge is charged 3% tax on the protection of the natural resources, but is given the chance to sight whales and bears. And since these are the main attractions of the area and of the Lodge, the management is well aware that in order to stay in business they must leave the area untouched.

In 2000, the Lodge management signed an agreement with the native(本土的) Gitga'at people. Together they work for the benefit of the area. The Lodge recognizes the native tribe （部落）as the owners of the land, pays the tribe for the use of their land and even supports the native youth and employs the tribe's people. They, in turn, teach the newcomers about the local culture.

The King Pacific Lodge is one of a growing number of tourism companies that manage to minimize their environmental effect to win the approval（批准）of the local government where they set up their business. These companies use environmentally friendly solutions to problems, and are careful to use natural resources and protect endangeredanimals. Realizing how destructive tourism can be, they want to avoid the love-it-to-death effect of tourism and leave a lighter environmental footprint. 8. From the passage, we know that the King Pacific Lodge______________. A. follow other hotels’ building projects

B. is less enjoyable than might be expected C. is situated far away from an important wilderness D. has been created after careful consideration 9. Which of the following statements is TURE?

A.The King Pacific Lodgeis located in an area without any trees. B.The King Pacific Lodgecan be moved from place to place.
