Here is how it went：
〃Hello！ I'm interested in the eco…tour you've advertised。〃
〃Oh； yeah； eco…tour。〃
〃I'm wondering if we should do anything special as eco…tourists。〃
〃I'm sorry？…Oh； nothing。 Just enjoy the scenery。〃
Every conversation ended up with 〃enjoying the scenery。〃 No one
mentioned 〃protecting wildlife〃； or 〃respecting local customs〃。 None
of them made any mention of responsibility and obligation on the
part of tourists。
Like other students； I have had many dreams of what I would like
to do after graduation。 One of these dreams is to run a travel
agency。 In this travel agency； I would do three things。
First； I'd like to have a staff of people who love nature as they
love their mothers and can pass on to the cus－tomers the same kind
of love。
Second； I'd like to let customers appreciate the beauty of nature
in those natural reservations； safari parks and wild forests and
show them how they can contribute in return for the air； water； and
nourishment that nature provides。
Last but not least。 I'd encourage my customers to work as
volunteers as I once did。 They would live close to nature by
cleaning up the natural resorts and planting trees as mementos of
their visit。
I remember when I was standing on top of the Great Wall。 I could
see in some distance many bare mountains with no trees there。
Eco…tourism should be an experience of learning and offering； it
should not be just seeing the famous sites and posing for photos。 On
the flag of my agency； I would print this mott
Take nothing away except memory； leave nothing behind except
trees。
Join my tour； my dear friends。 1 will make China green and make
the world a better place to live in。
Thank you。

旅行社：我心中的梦
王东福 （译）
今天上午我想和大家一起来探讨一下什么才是真正的生态旅游。在我看来，真正的生态旅游体现的是一种对大自然和文化遗产的热爱之情。
我喜欢旅游，其中最让我难忘的是那次登长城。在长城上，我欣喜地看到不同种族和年龄的人聚集在一起，他们彼此微笑着给对方让路，并相互提醒走路小心。
尽管我喜欢旅游，但是在这个过程中，我竟伤心地看到旅游对大自然和文物古迹所带来的损害。虽然许多旅行社都标榜自己是生态旅游，但是他们却为建桥、造宾馆、开索道以吸引游客而乱砍乱伐；而有些游客呢，在旅游时随意摘花，捕鸟，把一些可能对动物有害的食物丢在路上。这根本不是生态旅游。真正的生态旅游需要我们承担责任。在我们欣赏大自然的美景的同时，我们应当努力去保护它。还是来听听我的亲身经历吧。
有一次，我们几个青年志愿者一起外出旅行。旅行社把我们带上了山的最顶峰，在那儿，我们看到了整个城市的全貌。当然，我们不是普通的旅游者，在爬山的同时，还拾捡其他登山人留下的垃圾。结果，我们用了好几个大袋子才把所有的垃圾背下了山。
这次旅行虽然很累，但我相信，有了这次经历，我们中的任何一个人在以后的旅游中不会乱扔东西了。而且我们清理山坡引起了很多游客的注意，也许有些人会说我们傻，但我相信，更多的人会从中意识到保护环境的重要性。
作为一名生态旅游者，我的经历还是让许多人感到不可理解。我曾经给好几家旅行社打电话咨询生态旅游的事。情况大致都是这样的：
“你好！我对你们广告中所说的生态旅游很感兴趣。”
“哦，对，生态旅游。”
“我想知道，作为生态旅游者，我们应当做点什么特别的事情。”
“对不起……其实，你什么也不用做，你只管欣赏美景好了。”
我和旅行社的每次谈话都是以“欣赏美景”结束的。没有一个人提到要“保护野生生物”或“尊重当地风俗”之类的话，也没有谁讲过游客需要承担什么责任和义务。
和其他同学一样，我也有许多梦想等我毕业以后去实现。其中一个就是要办一家旅行社。在这个旅行社里，我想做以下三件事。
首先，我要招一批像爱他们母亲那样热爱大自然并能把这种爱传递给游客的职员。
其次，我要让游客在自然保护区、狩猎场和原始森林中欣赏美景的同时，学会如何回报大自然赐给他们的空气、水和食物。
最后一点，但并不是最次要的一点是，我要鼓励我的游客像我一样当一名志愿者，通过清理景点或种植纪念树之类的活动来贴近大自然。
我记得，在我登上万里长城时，看到远处有许多光秃秃的山。我想，生态旅游应该是一次学习和奉献的机会，而不应该仅仅是看看风景照照相而已。在我们旅行社的社旗上，我会写上这样的话：除了美好的回忆，不要带走任何东西；除了树木，不要留下任何东西。
亲爱的朋友，加入我的旅游行列吧。我们将为中国添绿，并让世界更适合人们居住和生活。
The Strength of trust
Xiao Yanzi
Boys and girls，
Good afternoon。
The content that I will give a lecture today is still about the
subject that's unchanged since ancient times to now days， which is
friendship。 There have been thousands of explanations as for the
word 〃friend〃。 But I resolutely think that there is the best
definition to explain it， which is Trust。 The story that I read
recently makes my idea firm。
It happened in Italy four centuries B。C。A young man named Pi Sia
was sentenced to death， because of having offended the tyrant。 Pi
Sia was a filial son， and he asked to see his old mother before
death。 The king promised him ， but set down the condition that he
must find another person to be in prison instead of him。 The
condition was so critical that it was almost impossible to be
realized。 But Pi Sia did find such a man， who was his friend named
Dameng。 Then Pi Sia went home to bid farewell with Mother as he
wished。
Days passed quickly， and the term of imprisonment was near at
hand， but Pi Sia had not turned back yet。 Most people ascertained
that Pi Sia had deceived his friend。
It was a rainy day。 When Demeng was sent to the execution ground，
all persons watching around laughed at him， but Demeng himself was
not worried at all。 The rope was hanging on his neck， and just at
the critical moment， one person ran quickly through the rain
shouting loudly， 〃Please wait， I'm ing！〃 It was Pi Sia who
turned back in time。
This was the most moving curtain in the world。 Demeng took no care
of himself in order to help his friend realize the duty， whose kind
of spirit was moved one to tears。 While Pi Sia did not hesitate to
take life as the price for performing the promise， whose kind of
courage was also rare to meet。 My dear friends， do you know why
Demeng was so calm before death？ The reason was that he believed his
friend Pi Sia would not do such despicable thing as deceiving
friends。 This depended on the strength of trust。
This is a true story that is enough to shock everyone。 Especially
to contemporary people who are surrounded by the benefit of
themselves， it is more worth of pondering。 Friendship is the
precious deposits of the human world and the coordinate of life， and
it may keep the flowers of heart fresh and sweet forever。 A true
friend is large treasure of your whole life。 When you are
downhearted， they may encourage you to do all to catch up with the
others， and when you are proud of yourself， they may remind you of
keeping a clear head with sincere advice。
However， In the modern society that regards the real interest as
the most supreme power ， friendship bees fragile and stingy 。It
is mon that good friends known several years fall out to bee
enemies， and
