19、ountry to a totally strange city. He lived on the streets, and then in an orphanage(孤儿院), where he was adopted by an Australian family and taken to Tasmania.Brierley is a famous writer now, and in his new book, A Long Way Home, he wrote he couldnt help but wonder about his hometown back in India. He

20、 remembered landmarks, but since he didnt know his towns name, finding a small neighborhood in a vast country seemed impossible.Then he found a digital mapping program.

Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religi

27、on, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africas government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers

28、 and to report to government officials when they move.Countries set up customs posts at their borders.

Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication.

37、nation for adventure-seeking tourists. Now, a new study declares that the visitors may be leaving behind harmful bacteria which could devastate all of the areas native bird population.Humans can infect animals with illnesses such as the flu. Researchers, however, believed that the Antarctic animals

38、were immune to the danger due to the continents extreme weather. However, microbiologist Marta Cerda-Cuellar was not convinced. She and some colleagues decided to examine waste samples from Antarctic birds for evidence of human bacteria. To ensure the waste was not polluted, the scientists had to co

40、antibiotics, indicating they were brought in by the visitors, rather than migratory birds.These strains, which are a common cause for infections in humans and livestock, do not usually cause death outbreaks in wild animals, says Gonzalez-Solis. However, the emerging of invasive pathogens(病原体)that ar

41、rive to highly sensitive populations could have severe consequences and cause the local collapse and extinction of some populations.”The researcher also fears the presence of these bugs could foreshadow(预示)the arrival of other, more deadly, pathogens as the number of tourists people increases.Expert

42、s believe the only way to prevent the mass destruction of the birds is to impose stricter regulations or, at least, put the ones already in place into effect. For example, while the Antarctica Treaty requires visitors to carry their waste back home to safeguard the pristine(原始纯净的)environment, the re

43、gulation is rarely enforced. Fortunately, nowadays some officials are taking steps to save the vulnerable birds before its too late.32.
