16、志愿者，”她说。“那是我第一次看到贫穷。我当时很年轻，很容易受到启发，于是我想，为什么旅游业不能为社区发展做同样的事情呢?”回到英国后，22岁的艾米和她的男友尼尔决定走一条“鲜为人知的路”。他们开车穿越莫桑比克，非洲最贫穷的国家之一，但那天并不是真正的假日。莫桑比克有两大特点吸引着他们:一是作为旅游目的地的巨大吸引力，二是当地人民急需帮助。一到那里，这对夫妇就离开了人迹罕至的小路，前往基里姆巴斯国家公园，在那里，他们在一个村庄附近发现了一小片白色沙滩。村里的生活很艰苦:几乎没有干净的水，也没有足够的食物。卫生保健很差，村里的人预期寿命只有38岁。艾米和尼尔没有旅游或医疗方面的资历，但他们有常识

17、、热情和决心。他们向村民们介绍了他们计划建立一个小型海滩度假村，为人们提供就业机会，让他们过上更好的生活。村民们的反应非常积极。他们唯一的问题是:“你什么时候能开始工作?”这对夫妇开始在海滩小屋工作，用当地的材料建造海滩小屋，雇佣当地的人。小屋建成后，他们成立了一个名为NEMA的慈善基金会，所得款项的5%归NEMA所有。这笔钱被用于建立清洁水源，资助医疗保健项目，建造两所小学和支持保护项目它帮助改善了数千人的生活。“我们想向世界展示旅游业的力量，它可以成为一种变革的工具，”艾米说。到这个村庄不容易。这不是一个典型的机场接送的包价度假。那里也没有公共交通。最近的城市也有260公里远。到了那里，你

18、必须乘船或沿着维修得很差的道路开车3个小时。但是乡村小屋是值得的。如今，这家旅馆有九间海滩小屋，还能看到美丽的海景。这里没有价格过高的礼品店和其他旅游陷阱。这是一个休息、远离人群、享受阳光的完美地方。游客可以在导游的陪同下探索附近的岛屿，潜水或观察非洲野生动物。但对许多人来说，最重要的是结识村里的人，参加节日活动，了解NEMA的工作。“和我们住在一起的人通常是为了潜水或去海滩，”艾米说，“但真正让他们感到震惊的是这里的社区。”艾米和尼尔并非个例:世界各地都在建立类似的以社区为基础的旅游项目。这个新概念正在改变旅游和娱乐，一次一个旅馆。NEMA的数量2所新的小学中学奖学金150项800份小学膳食

74、l began.1920sIn the early 1920s,life in Midwest America was very different.People didnt use to travel much because there were no highways near the small townsa trip to LA would usually take weeks.But in 1926,things started to change thanks to a new road called Route 66.This new road opened up the Am

75、erican West to hundreds of thousands of people.Agricultural communities started to grow and develop into towns.Farmers were also able to sell their produce in big cities.1930sIn the mid-1930s,hard times returned.America was suffering from the Great Depression and across the country,millions of peopl

76、e were out of work.In the Midwest,serious drought conditions and dust storms destroyed farmland and thousands of families were forced to leave their homes.They headed for California,along Route 66,where they had heard there were agricultural jobs.

78、d many owned cars.Families wouldnt stay at home during holidays.Instead,they would drive along Route 66 to the beaches of California,visiting the attractions along the way.It was a golden time for the road and hundreds of restaurants,motels and service stations lined the route.The road had a brand n

79、ew imageone of freedom and fun.1956-present dayAs more people travelled from East to West,a newer,bigger road was needed and work began on a national highway.Sadly,the towns and attractions along Route 66 began to die out.Then in the 1990s,people started projects to protect the old road,new signs we

80、re put up and tourists began to travel down it once again.Today,the road still offers an amazing journey through the American West.Whether you want the freedom of the open road,a trip into the past,or simply an oily burger from an all-American restaurant,you can still “get your kicks on Route 66”.【参

81、考翻译】66号公路的历史它长4000多公里，横跨美国三分之二的国土。它被称为“美国的主要街道”。电影、书籍和歌曲中都描述过它，甚至华盛顿的史密森尼博物馆(Smithsonian Museum)也展出过它的一件作品。欢迎来到66号公路。66号公路从芝加哥出发。在城外，它穿过西部的玉米地和养牛场，穿过沙漠和山谷，绕过湖泊和山脉，到达太平洋上的洛杉矶。美国中西部与西海岸相连，过去与现在相连。让我们回到20世纪20年代，看看这一切是如何开始的。1920年代在20世纪20年代早期，美国中西部的生活完全不同。人们过去不常旅行，因为小镇附近没有高速公路到洛杉矶旅行通常要花上几周时间。但在1926年，由于一条

82、名为66号公路的新路，情况开始发生变化。这条新路使成千上万的人进入了美国西部。农业社区开始发展成为城镇。农民也可以在大城市出售他们的农产品。1930年代20世纪30年代中期，艰难的日子又回来了。当时美国正遭受大萧条，全国各地有数百万人失业。在中西部，严重的干旱和沙尘暴摧毁了农田，成千上万的家庭被迫离开家园。他们沿着66号公路前往加利福尼亚，他们听说那里有农业工作。不幸的是，这条路把他们带到了城镇之外的贫穷城镇。66号公路与这场伟大的人民运动的痛苦和困难联系在一起。1940年代- 1950年代第二次世界大萧条结束后，出现了一个充满希望的新时代，成千上万的人从东方移居到西方，寻找更好的生活。人们有

83、了更多的空闲时间，许多人拥有汽车。节假日家人都不呆在家里。相反，他们会沿着66号公路开车去加利福尼亚的海滩，参观沿途的景点。这是这条路的黄金时期，数百家餐馆、汽车旅馆和服务站沿路排列。这条路有了一个全新的形象自由和乐趣。1956 -现在随着越来越多的人从东向西旅行，需要一条更新、更大的道路，一条国家公路开始动工。可悲的是，66号公路沿线的城镇和景点开始消失。然后在20世纪90年代，人们开始了保护这条旧路的项目，新的标志被竖立起来，游客们又开始沿着这条路走了。今天，这条路仍然是一条穿越美国西部的神奇之旅。不管你是想要自由自在的公路旅行，还是想要一次回到过去的旅行，或者只是想要一个来自美式餐厅的油
