Most holidaymakers are not aware of the health risks they face abroad, even in the most popular destination, because official advice is not reaching them, according to a report from the Foreign Policy Center.
The research by the European think-tank found that only 9 percent of travelers could name a health threat on their trip, from sunburn to malaria, and only 2 percent of holidaymakers consult the Foreign Office before their departure.
The failure to take necessary precautions abroad could lead to a serious situation which can be disastrous for both individual health and the global economy. The growing intensity and complexity of travel patterns means controlling health problems is becoming even more difficult. Recent outbreaks of SARS and bird flu in the Far East have shown that even relatively small outbreaks can have a great impact on countries’ economies and the travel industry.
In 2002, Britons made 60 million trips abroad, and around 30-50 percent fell ill, though most cases were minor complaints such as sunburn. The "Health Travel" report recommends major changes in the way travelers are advised about health abroad. Worldwide studies have shown that health officers often give inadequate travel health advice that is not up-to-date, many people assume they will be told about health risks and don’t realize they should seek advice themselves, and most brochures don’t contain any health information.
The report suggested that instead of relying on the Foreign Office to give advice, travel agents, insurers, the media and guide books should all pass on health information. It said there should be more projects along the lines of the "Know Before You Go" campaign which asks travel companies to pass on Foreign Office’s advice to customers.
But it said advisers should not be overly scrutinized (细查) in case they stopped publishing warnings, and travelers should be aware there is always an element of uncertainty in any health warning. Equally, the report said that too many warnings might mean tourists would stop paying attention to them.
The author’s purpose in writing the passage is______.
选项
A、to stress the health threat that tourists face abroad
B、to inform people of diseases in scenic spots abroad
C、to advise travelers about what to do before they travel abroad
D、to discuss the relationship between one’s health and world’s economy
答案
A
解析
本题为推理题,需要根据全文内容说明作者撰写该文的目的。选项A意思是:强调游客在国外旅游时面临的健康威胁;选项B意思是:告诉人们国外旅游景点的疾病信息;选项C意思是:对游客出国旅游前应该做些什么提出建议。选项D意思是:探讨个人健康与世界经济之间的关系。从全文来看,作者并没有说明任何国外旅游景点的疾病信息。文章虽然给出了一些保证旅游健康的建议,但并不是其写文的意图,更谈不上探讨个人健康与世界经济之间的关系。文章中每一段都涉及到游客与健康威胁的问题,以及人们疏于这方面的防范和相关机构部门信息提供不及时等信息,因此选项A为正确答案。
