The first hotels were very different from today’s hotels. They were small inns built along the road. Later, as people began to travel by train, hotels were built in the centers of large cities. Usually located near railroad stations , these hotels were many stories tall and has hundreds of rooms.

Although trains were a popular means of travel for some time, automobiles slowly began to take their place. Automobile travel caused problems for city hotels, which did not have parking space for so many cars.

People who traveled by automobile needed a different kind of hotel. They needed places to stay that were near highways and had room to park. Motorists did not like to drive in heavy city traffic to reach a hotel.

The answer to the motorists’ problems came when a new kind of hotel was built. These new buildings were called motels, a word made from the first part of MOTORIST and the last part of HOTELS.

Union Carbide faced a serious international public relations problem in December 1984 when a gas leak at its plant in India killed more than 2500 residents of Bhopal and caused another 50,000 to be treated for gas poisoning. Time magazine reported, “There is no way to put a price tag on the damage done to Union Carbide’s image in 38 countries, where is has factories, and the 130 nations in which it sells products.”

Anderson, flew to India within hours of the accident. Serving as the company’s chief spokesman on the disaster, he made himself available to hundreds of reporters clamoring(喧闹)for information.

To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and

“inexhaustible(不竭的)”. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the other parts.

Fifty years ago, nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry(林业)was a new idea; timber(木材)was still cheap because it could be bought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems. Nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word ”conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.
