(2021·重庆八中第一次全真模拟)Have you ever heard of Parura It's a faraway mountainous county in Africa. For centuries, Parura's culture remains unchanged. There was no real industry. There were no schools, no electricity, and hardly any cars. Most of the people had small farms. By the standard of other countries, the people there were quite poor but they had enough to live and they lived in peace.
Then the tourists came. There were only small groups at first, but then words of this beautiful land spread. The tourists couldn't stand living in primitive(原始的) conditions so the first hotels were built in Parura. The hotels were followed by bars and shops. Then the government built roads so that cars could pass. The government needed to educate people for these new industries so schools were built and the decision was taken to educate children in English, the language of industry and tourism instead of the local language.
Some of the Parurian people become quite rich, but the families who still work on the farms are left behind. Sometimes the tourists travel out of Parura to see these primitive people in their strange costumes. They take photos of them or film them with video cameras just like they are making a wildlife documentary. Some of these farmers in Parura feel sorry about their rural(农村的) culture and move to find work in the tourism industry. But there isn't enough work for everyone, so you find homeless people on the streets, begging tourists to have photos with them and getting some poor money in return.
