根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
1.______ People traveled in search of food and shelter or in order to flee from their enemies．Sometimes they were looking for gold or silver in order to become rich．On other occasions they were searching for rich farmland．
This is not to say that no one ever traveled just for fun．Even in ancient times，some pleasure travel occurred．During a typical season，700，000 tourists would crowd into the ancient city of Rome，where animals performed and magicians entertained them．2.______
3.______ International tourist arrivals alone reached as many as 546 million in 1994 and are forecast to rise to 937 million in 2010，according to the World Trade Organization．
4.______ Probably the most common reason for traveling is related to our physical wellbeing．Actually，traveling to sports events is one of the fastest growing types of travel．In our fast developing society where stress has become part of people's life，people can rest and relax by having a change of environment and activities．

Only two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a newborn child．Last spring one of the two，Australia，gave up the bad distinction by setting up paid family leave starting in 2011．I wasn’t surprised when this didn’t make the news here in the United States—we’re now the only wealthy country without such a policy．
The United States does have one explicit family policy，the Family and Medical Leave Act，passed in 1993．It entitles workers to as much as 12 weeks’ unpaid leave for care of a newborn or dealing with a family medical problem．Despite the modesty of the benefit，the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups fought it bitterly，describing it as “government-run personnel management” and a “dangerous precedent（先例）．” In fact，every step of the way，as (usually) Democratic leaders have tried to introduce work-family balance measures into the law，business groups have been strongly opposed．
As Yale law professor Anne Alstott argues，justifying parental support depends on defining（定义）the family as a social good that，in some sense，society must pay for．Parents are burdened in many ways in their lives: there is “no exit” when it comes to children．Society expects—and needs—parents to provide their children with continuity of care．And society expects—and needs—parents to persist in their roles for 18 years，or longer if needed．
1.What do we learn about paid family leave according to Paragraph 1？
A．It came as a surprise when Australia adopted the policy．
B．Setting up this policy made Australia less influential．
C．It has now become a hot topic in the United States．
D．No such policy is applied in the United States．
2.What makes it hard to take work-family balance measures in the States？
A．The incompetence of the Democrats．
B．The opposition from business circles．
C．The lack of a precedent in American history．
D．The existing Family and Medical Leave Act．
3.What is Professor Anne Alstott’s argument for parental support？
A．Children need continuous care．
B．Good parenting benefits society．
C．The cost of raising children has been growing．
D．The U．S．should keep up with other developed countries．
4.Why is the author against classifying parenting as a personal choice？
A．Parenting is regarded as a moral duty．
B．Parenting relies largely on social support．
C．Parenting produces huge moral benefits．
D．Parenting is basically a social responsibility．
The Loss of Innocence
Innocence is such a precious gift．It’s explained as freedom from guilt or wrong doing．Just imagine never having to worry about anything and having a guilt free mind．Some people wish to save this kind of innocence from being lost from childhood to adulthood．
What would the world be like if innocence were never lost？One way it would benefit humanity is the lack of hatred （仇恨）among the world．During youth，there may be an occasional argument，even a little physical fight，but nothing like firing a handgun at a fellow human being．And children are blind towards the racial differences of others．A kid will hang out with any other kid．It is the lack of innocence and the ignorance we learn from adults that influence children otherwise．Another benefit is the constant desire for fun and adventure．With very little if any time at all for fun，the adventurous mind is lost in time with the responsibilities placed upon adults．If innocence were kept alive，these ambitions would never depart from our lives．
However，other people actually hate the idea of innocence lasting forever．They feel that the lack of organization and mental power of those with innocence would cause extremely destructive consequences to society in general．A large number of individuals would never have the urge to learn，work，and act upon the necessary needs for humanity to survive．Without a proper education which is usually provided by those who no longer live in a world of innocence，people would not have the desire to succeed，get a good job in life，or provide income for their families，which would hurt the lives of children．
The lack of a good education and career would also harm the economy．As long as innocence is kept alive，no one would be terribly angered at the lack of effort people put out in the workplace，resulting in a strong decline in production and quality of needed goods．
Maybe it is wrong in wanting to save innocence．It sure is a nice thought，though．Perhaps innocence was meant to be lost．It was god’s will to make things the way they are，and there is a good purpose for everything．All that remains to be said about innocence is to enjoy it while it lasts．
