68. In addition, in order to attract tourists, a lot of new facilities have been built, which has certain unfavorable effects on the environment.
另外，为了吸引旅游者，大量人工设施被修建，这对环境是不利的。
69. For lack of a distinct culture, some places will be attractive to tourists any more. Consequently, the fast rise in the number of foreign tourists may eventually lead to the shrinking of the local tourism.

70. There is a growing tendency for parents to expect their children to be involved in some extra educational programs over the recent years.

86. Many government officers always go into raptures at the mere mention of artistic and cultural projects. They are forever talking about the nice parks, the smart sculptures in the central areas of the city and the art galleries with rarities. Nothing, they maintain, is more essential than such projects in the development of a city.
只要一提起艺术和文化项目，一些政府领导就会兴奋不已，他们滔滔不绝地说着美丽的公园，城市中心漂亮的雕塑，还有满是稀世珍宝的艺术展览馆。他们认为在一个城市的发展中，没有什么比这些艺术项目更重要了。
