For years, he played against ablebodied players by putting rubber on the stumps (残余部分) of his legs. Though he was a foot (30.48 cm) or two shorter than

3、 many of the players he played against, he won a number of matches.

The country has witnessed some of the most important events in the past and every event has an effect of its own on the culture, religion, lifestyle, and economy of the country. This is one of the

10、leading reasons why tourists prefer India to travel and explore. Historical tours in India provide everything that a traveler expects from his/her journey. These historical tours give an opportunity to study and explore Indian history.Historical tours of India generally consisted of four phases: anc

11、ient, medieval (中世纪的), modern India and contemporary (当代的) India. Some of the historical travel packages are：Forts and PalacesThe rich cultural past of India is reflected in the countless (无数的) forts and palaces across the country.

18、rcular stone monument in England. The village of small houses dates back to about 2600 BC. Thats about the same time Stonehenge was built.“Clearly, this is a place that was of enormous importance，”said researcher Mike Parker Pearson.The ancient houses are at a site known as Durrington Walls, about t

19、wo miles from Stonehenge. Researchers believe Stonehenge was a memorial site or cemetery for the villagers. The village also had a wooden version of the stone circle. It may have been used by people attending festivals at Stonehenge.Eight of the houses have been excavated or dug up. Researchers say

20、there may be as many as 25 of them. The wooden houses were square and about 14 feet long each side. There are signs of bed frames along the walls and of a dresser or storage unit. The houses also had fireplaces.Two of the houses were separate from the others and may have been the homes of community

21、leaders. Researchers say those sites didnt have the debris (残骸) and household trash that was found in the other homes. Stone tools，animal bones, arrowheads and other artifacts were found throughout the village site.8The village is of great importance in that _Ait was different from other villages of

25、nd friendly ecotourists who want to take their pictures may put animals at greater risk of being eaten.It is clear that many people visit protected areas every year.“Recent data showed that protected areas around the globe have 8 billion visitors per year; thats like each human on Earth visited a pr

26、otected area once a year, and then some！”said Dainel Blumstein of the University of California, Los Anglels.“This amount of nature tourism and ecotourism can be added to the long list of ways in which humans cause fast environmental change.The basic idea of the report is that humans change the ways

27、animals act and those changes might affect other parts of their lives, according to Science Daily. Those changes in behavior and activity may put animals at risk.“When animals spend time in harmless ways with humans, they may let down their guard，”Blumstein said. As animals get used to feeling comfo

28、rtable with humans, they may become braver in other situations, he says.“If this bravery continues when they meet real predators (捕食者), then they will die more often when they meet them.”Ecotourism is in some ways similar to making animals live in human homes or in cities. In all three cases, regula

29、r interactions between people and animals tame. Evidence has shown that silver foxes that live with people become more laidback and less fearful; this results from evolutionary changes but also from spending time with humans. Simply put, as Blumstein asked in the Scientific American magazine：“Does e

30、cotourism make animals dumb？”And thats not all humans can also scare away natural predators, creating the socalled “human shield effect” and a safe environment for smaller animals that might make them braver, too. When humans are around, for example, vervet monkeys dont see as many leopards (猎豹) try

31、ing to eat them.Blumstein says they hope to do more research into humans interactions with wildlife. Scientists will now have to understand better how different species and species in different situations react to humans and when humans might put them at risk.12The main focus of report in Trends in

32、Ecology & Evolution was the idea that _Aecotourism cause damage to the natural homes of wildlifeBit is easy for ecotourists to build up trust with wide animalsCthe changes brought by ecotourism may be harmfulDprotected areas around the world are overloaded with tourists13The underlined word “dumb” in paragraph 6 probably mean
