Modern Sun Worshippers
People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their picture taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italys 30, 000 hotels are booked solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spains long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
None of this, however, is spoiling anyones fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they dont go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They dont even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, its still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
A. they want to see historic remains or religious spots.
C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites.
2. In paragraph 2, cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are mentioned
B. to tell us how wealthy their residents are.

A. Italy.
C. France.
4. The latter half of the last sentence in paragraph 3, i.e., or one tourist for every person living in Spain means
B. every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that country.
D. every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year.
A. Polluted water.
C. Traffic jams.
