In 2016 New Zealand hosted 3.5m tourists from overseas; by 2022 more than 4.5m are expected every year - about the same as the country's population. Tourism has become the biggest export. The national parks, which make up about one-third of the country, are a huge draw. About half of the foreign tourists visit one. They are keen to experience the natural beauty promised by the country's "100% Pure New Zealand" advertising campaign (and shown off in the film adaptations of "The Lord of the Rings"

　　　and "The Hobbit", which were shot in New Zealand's breath-taking wilderness).

　　　But for every happy foreign couple posting for a selfie next to a tuatara (楔齿蜥) there is a New

　　　Zealander who remembers the way things used to be - when you could walk the tracks without running into crowds at every clearing. Many locals now wonder why their taxes, as they see it, are paying for someone else's holiday. Mr. Sanson would seem to agree. Entry fees could be used to upgrade facilities such as car parks and trails. A charge could also help reduce numbers at some of the popular locations by making it cheaper to use lesser-known, but no less beautiful, trails far away from home.

　　　Some are not so sure it would work. Hugh Logan, a former chief of conservation for the government who now runs a mountain climbing club, worries it would cost too much to employ staff to take money from hikers at entrances. It would also be difficult to prevent tourists from entering the parks without paying.

　　　Some argue that it would be easier to charge visitors a "conservation tax" when they enter the country. The Green Party, the third-largest in parliament (议会), says that adding around NZ$18 ($12.50) is still acceptable to foreign tourists. But some travel companies don't quite agree with the idea. They note that tourists already contribute around NZ$1.1bn through the country's 15% sales tax. Better, such firms say, to use foreign tourists' contribution to this tax for the protection of the parks.

　　　Among the fiercest critics of a charge are those who point out that free access to wilderness areas is an important principle for New Zealanders. It is documented in a National Parks Act (法案) which inspires almost constitution-like devotion among the country's nature-lovers. Mr. Sanson has a rocky path ahead.

二、七选五

　　　 For some people, walking or running outdoors is a great way to exercise. What may not be so great is seeing rubbish all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it. 16． "Plogging" began in Sweden. The name connects the Swedish word "plocka," which means to pick up, and the word "jogging," which means to run slowly.

　　　A Swedish man named Erik Ahlström, started the movement in 2016. He moved to Stockholm from a small community (社区) in northern Sweden. Each day he would ride his bike to work. He became worried about the amount of rubbish and litter he saw each day on his way to work. So, he took matters into his own hands. He began picking up the rubbish. 17．

　　　Today, plogging is an official activity, which is becoming more and more popular. People of all ages are welcome to plog. Exercise while helping your community. 18． It can also build closer social connections in a community. When the street looks bad and it's dirty, you're going to feel bad about the community. You may even feel less safe because of that. So if we're all doing our part and picking it up, it's very easy to help beautify it, and help build those social connection. 19． You get to feel some social duty when you do this.

　　　Along with cleaning up the environment, there may be another reason to choose plogging instead of just jogging. You may get a better workout. One fitness app, Lifesum, records one hour of plogging as burning 288 calories. 20．

　　　As can be seen, cities around the world now hold plogging events. The goal is to spread the idea that littering is not acceptable. People would think twice before dropping a garbage on the ground.

　　　A．Plogging is equal parts of exercise and community service.

　　　B．And that is how plogging was born!

　　　C．And plogging does good to your health.

　　　D．Usual jogging burns about 235 calories.

E. They are plogging!
