Babies love chocolate and sometimes they also eat the paper around it. My cat enjoys a meal of good， thick paper， old letters， for example. She doesnt like newspapers very much.

Of course， the best paper comes from wood. Wood comes from trees， and trees are plants. Vegetables and fruit are plants too， and we eat a lot of them. So can we also eat wood and paper？

Scientists say，“All food comes in some way from plants.”Well， is that true？ Animals eat grass and grow fat. Then we eat their meat. Little fish eat sea-plants； then bigger fish swim along and eat them. Chickens eat bits of grass and give us eggs. What food does not come from plants in some way？

What is the next thing？ Perhaps it is food from paper. Scientists say，“We can turn paper into food. It will be good， cheap food too， cheaper than meat or fish or eggs.”

Without proper planning， tourism can cause problems. For example， too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic， the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being（wealth and happiness）of local inhabitants.

Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly， people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer.

On the other hand， if there is not enough tourism， people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels， airports， air terminals， firs-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example， a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50，000 dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time， the owners of the hotel will lose money.

Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well， including roads to get to the hotel， electricity， sewers to handle waste， and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists， jobs and money are lost.

43. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage？

A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.

B. Building roads and hotels is essential.

C. Support facilities are highly necessary.
