Holidays in
Space
The World Tourism Organization
says that space will soon be a popular place to go on holiday –
possibly by 2020. One Japanese company is getting ready. They are
planning a space holiday centre. It will look like a bicycle wheel
and have a hotel for 100 people and a theme park. It will travel
round the Earth at a height of 300 km. The company hopes the centre
will be ready in 2017. The company chairman says that flying to the
centre will probably be quicker than flying from Hong Kong to
Singapore. When they are on board of the centre, the tourists will
take short trips to the Moon or go for walks in space.
An American hotel group is also
thinking of building a hotel, called the Lunar Hotel. This will be
on the soon. Most of the hotel will be under the ground so it won’t
become too hot or too cold. The rooms will look just like they do
on Earth. The guests will eat normal food for lunch. The cooks will
just push a button to mix dried food with water to become an
instant meal!

Task 1. Read the text and
complete the task.
Some people say that we should invest
money in ecology projects, while others believe that nature is
doing well by itself. The Earth is the only planet that people can
live on, but nowadays they seem to be doing everything to make
their home unfit for living. Industrialization has brought us into
conflict with the natural environment. Our planet is in danger:
air, water and land pollution have disastrous consequences, which
threaten human life on Earth. I strongly feel that the more money
is invested in ecology projects, the better our lives are going to
be. People have technologies to make our planet cleaner: we can
control pollution, recycle waste materials, protect rare animals
and plants and install antipollution equipment. We need more
disaster-prevention programs in order to control environmental
pollution, fight the destruction of wildlife and preserve
woodlands. There should be more organizations like Greenpeace that
will help protect the animal world and stop environmental
degradation. Such organizations influence public opinion and help
form a correct attitude to nature. There should be more newspaper
articles, TV-programs and science-popular films about ecological
problems. They help people become environment-educated. However,
many people still believe that nature is doing well by itself. They
use natural resources and pollute the environment, but they don't
think how awful the consequences may be. I'm sure that nature can't
do without our help. If we want to breathe fresh air, to drink
clean water and to eat healthy food, we must stop polluting the
environment. conclude, ecological problems concern everybody and
there are ways to solve them. People must always remember that the
earth is our home and it depends us what it will be
like.
Put the words in the sentences. Some
words are extra.
waste, pollution, protect, factory,
recycled, emissions, damage, unleaded petrol, public, depends,
