The passage discusses the relationship between tourists and local communities. Some key points:
- Indigenous people in some communities demand compensation for having their photos taken, as foreigners profit from using the images but the communities do not benefit.
- In some indigenous communities, photography is considered taboo because it is believed to cause physical and spiritual harm.
- Begging practices intended to amuse tourists can offend local populations. Some forms of begging have led to children having limbs removed to make them seem more pathetic beggars.
- A local leader expressed sadness that with the focus on earning money from tourists, community members no longer value protecting their lands as they had worked to acquire rights to the lands.

Introduction Non-native, alien, species often have a devastatin.docxmariuse18nolet
Introduction
Non-native, alien, species often have a devastating impact on native species. This is especially true when the non-natives become invasive and overwhelm the native species through increased competition or predation. In this lab, we investigate the effect of non-native plant cover on native species diversity in coastal sage scrub. Coastal sage scrub (CSS) is a community characterized by a diverse assemblage of plants many of which are endemic to southern California. Some species are shallow rooted and survive the summer by dropping their leaves and going dormant. Other species are deeply rooted and survive the summer drought by accessing ground water deep in the soil, and by conserving water by closing their stomata, pores in the leaves that allow for the diffusion of CO2 in, but also allow H2O to diffuse out. We have lost most of our CSS habitat to development, and in the remaining patches, invasive non-native grasses and annuals often outcompete the native species after disturbance, which results in the conversion of shrublands to non-native grasslands.
Restoration attempts reverse the conversion of CSS by removing non-native species and introducing native species through planting or seeding. In one sense, you can think of restoration as instant succession. However, restoration is tricky, and projects often fail, or require constant maintenance to remove non-natives.
The purpose of this lab is to investigate the relationship between invasive species cover, and native species diversity in restored and un-restored CSS habitat. We will compare the following:
· Invasive vs. native cover in restored and un-restored areas of CSS.
· Invasive cover vs. species diversity in restored and un-restored CSS.
· Native species diversity in restored and unrestored areas CSS.
Species ID
1. bare ground
2. all non-native species including all grasses
3. bush sunflower: yellow conspicuous flowers; inflorescent head
4. buckwheat: characteristic amble inflorescence (three branches); flowers not yellow as in bush sunflower
5. black sage: poodles-like inflorescence; square stem; opposite leaves
6. laurel sumac: leaves like taco shell with big red veins in middle of leaf
7. California sage: 3 parted threadlike leaves; smells good
8. mulefat: conspicuous big shrub; easily recognizable; serrated leaves
9. solanum: white flowers, anthers with a yellow crown
10. Verbinacea: with little purple flows
11. Opuntia: unmistakable cactus
12. coyote bush: large bush with really dark green fine leaves
13. goldenbush: no live flowers, yellow if present; toothed leaves hairy seeds
14. white sage: whitish looking bush
15. Marah: a climber with medieval looking fruits; AKA manroot or wild cucumber
16. monkey flower: opposite leaves, creamy flowers; looks like sage but has no inflorescence, has orange flowers
17. elderberry: a tree with opposite compound leaves, blueberry-like fruits
18. everlasting flower: a herb with flowers in all individu.

This document provides guidance on inferring the meaning of unknown words using context clues, affixes, and roots. It includes examples of using context clues like definition, synonyms, examples, antonyms, and analogies. It also discusses common prefixes, suffixes, and roots and how they can provide clues to a word's meaning. Exercises are included to practice interpreting words using context and identifying word parts. The overall purpose is to help readers understand unfamiliar vocabulary through analysis of word structure and surrounding context.
The document discusses key concepts related to biodiversity and evolution including:
- Organism: An individual or form of life composed of mutually interdependent parts that maintain vital processes.
- Population: A group of similar organisms living in the same place at a given time.
- Community: A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.
- Ecosystem: A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment.
- Evolution: The process by which different kinds of living organisms develop and diversify from earlier forms over generations.
The document discusses population growth and factors that affect it. It defines key terms like population dynamics, carrying capacity, density-dependent limiting factors, and density-independent limiting factors. Population growth is determined by births, deaths, immigration and emigration. It can be exponential, with unlimited resources, or logistic, slowing down as resources become limited and the carrying capacity is reached. Studying population growth helps scientists understand changes in population sizes and their interactions with the environment.

Early diets : Nuts and plants
3. Judging from the headings, what do you think you will read about in
secctions 2 and 3 ?
3. 1. The only uncommon word in the title is peasant. To infer its meaning, notice how it is
a parallel construction with the word king: “Eat like a ______, Feel like a _______.” A
parallel construction is used either for comparison or for contrast. So peasant means
either something similar to king or something very different. With this clue in mind,
read the seentence on lines 44 to 48, and tell what you think is meant by a peasant
diet. How does this relate to the title?
2. Notice the context: “eat simple foods, not elite treats.” The word not tells you that
elite treats are the opposite of simple foods. Elite is also used in line 2 to describe a

of elite.

3. Recalling Information
8. 1. The main idea of the article is given in simple terms in the title and the
italicized sentence that follows it. In your own words, what is the main
idea?
4. Paraphrasing Main Ideas
Answer :
Many Nutritionists have studied food super and healthy dishes from
around the world. In many countries, they have found the healthiest
diet is the simple, inexpensive diet that people give up as they move
into prosperity. This diet is called the “peasant diet”. It’s usually based
on grains, fruits and vegetables, and small amounts of meat, fish, or
eggs
9. Answer :
From europe, Diet Europeans are largely determined by the social class. For most of the people,
the farmers, the majority of their daily diet consists of grains such as wheat, rye, oats or barley
(carbohydrates). Whole grains are boiled in soups or stews, ground into flour and made into bread
or malt and brewed into ale.
From Greek, The simple diet followed by Greek peasants is the key to a long and healthy life and
may protect against known health hazards such as smoking and lack of medical care. Their diet
included wholegrain bread, potatoes and other cereals.
They ate cooked meals and soups, and salads rich in olive oil and accompanied by beans, lentils
and vegetables were consumed in sizeable portions. Fresh fruit was a staple.
2. Another key idea is the relationship between affluence, diet, and health.
The article illustrates this by referring to several different societies. Explain
how affluence changes diet and health, and refer to at least two cultures that
illustrate it.

12. Focus on Testing
Analyzing Compound Words
As we saw in Chapter 1 (page 11), many English words are made up of two shorter words. These are called compound
words, and they are usually adjectives or nouns. Some compound words are written with a hypen between them, such as
low-fat ; others such wineglass, are written as one word. Breaking apart compound words can help understand their
meaning. For example, look at the word well-being in the introductory quote in the reading selection “Eat Like a
Peasant, Feel Like a King”. What do you think it means?
When taking vocabulary tests, try breaking apart the compound words to help understand their meaning.

14. 3. Getting the meaning of Words from Context Read the analysis following each of these sentences
from the reading to learn some new words and methods of figuring out meanings. Then fill in the best
response.
1. It was hard to believe that the community began its ecotourism project in 1992 in order to protect the
natural resources. (lines 2-4)
The word ecotourism has only been in use for about the last 25 years. The first part, eco-, is
taken from ecology , which means “the realtionship between people and their natural surrounding or
environment.”In recent years, concern for a healthy ecology has become an important theme.
Judging from this, what kind of tourism do you think ecotourism is?
A. tourism that does not cost much
B. tourism very rich
C. tourism that does not harm the environment
D. tourism that uses the environment for adventure
Part 2
15. 2. Their repeated “request” annoyed tourists.
Quotation marks are sometimes used to show that a word does not have its usual
meaning. Usually, a request is the action of asking for something politely. Here,
an example of a typical “request” made to tourists is given in the first sentence.
This gives you a clue about the meaning of annoyed.
What does it mean to annoy someone?
A. to make someone happy
B. to make someone sad
C. to make someone confused
D. to make somenone angry
16. 3. Some locals were more skilled and playful in their requests, others up-front and demanding.
(line 8-10)
Adjectives in English can often be used as nouns if a word like the or some is put in front of
them. Them word local is used that way here, and then made plural with an s.
Scan the second paragraph and you will see it used in three other sentences.
What does the word locals mean?
A. people from nearby C. beggars
B. people from far away D. workers
The adjectives up-front is a compound word, so the two words that make it up can give you
some clue to its meaning. Also, it is paired with demanding and both words are put in
contrast with skilled and playful . That means they mean something very different from skilled
and playful.
What does up-front mean?
A. tall C. smart
B. direct D. funny
17. 4. Indigenous people in the Andes demand compensation for having their
photographs taken... (lines 28-29)
The word indigenous is followed by the word peoples. This gives you a clue
about its meaning. These people live in Andes mountain, and gives you another
clue.
What does indigenous mean?
A. rude C. foreign
B. courteous D. native
18. 5. These young vacationers like to distinguish themselves as “travelers” not
“tourists.” (lines 53-54)

quotes of the what people say and also because they are used in a special way.
The first is said to distinguish people from the second.
What does distinguish mean?
A. make similar C. go far away
B. make different D. come closer
19. 6. But in “frontiers” like Kathmandu, Goa, and Bangkok, where backpacking subculture has existed
since it became part of the “hippie” routes in the 1960s. . . (lines 55-57)
Once again, we have a word in quotation marks because it is used with a special meaning that is
not the usual one. The word frontier has two usual meanings: a place near the border of another
country, or news, unexplored area of the world or of knowledge.
What do you think the word frontier means here?
A. very popular places tourists
B. places where no tourists ever go
C. places where only adventurous tourists go
D. places where tourists may go in the future

A. a group of people who are all very different
B. a group of people with similar costums
C. a group of people who are very wealthy
D. a small group of people with an excellent education
20. 7. . . . such travelers have a reputation for stinginess and rude, hard bargaining. (lines 57-58)
The suffix-ness tells us this is a noun, the quality of being stingy . For clues to the meaning of stingy and stinginess,
look at the examples of how the young vacationers and backpackers act in sentences before and after this one.
What does stinginess mean?
A. practice of insulting people for no reason
B. attitude of kindess and huminity
C. costum of not spending or giving money
D. habit of spending and giving money freely
Related to the word stinginess is the word bargaining. This is the gerund (-ing form) of the verb to bargain, which is
used in line 58.
What do you think the verb to bargain means?
A. to look at something carefully before buying it
B. to try to make the price of something lower
C. to give away one thing in exchange for another
D. to sell something very little money
21. 1. F The community began its ecotourism project in 1992. (lines 2-4)
2. F The villagers lost interest in the land. (line 5)
3. O The entire tourist experience revolves around money and purchases. (lines 14-16)

10. F In Kathmandu, Goa, and Bangkok, a backpacking subculture has existed since the 1960s.
(lines 55-57)
4. Distinguishing Between Fact and Opinion
22. acquiring communities found physical
benefit compensation hence
Indigenous peoples in the Andes demand compensation for having their photographs
taken, saying it’s intrusive. A woman in Otavalo, Ecuador, explained to me, “We see
ourselves and our children on postcards and in books. “We do not benefit from having our
photos taken. A foreigner does. We demand part of the profits.” In some indigenous
communities, photography is taboo because it is believed to cause physical and spiritual
harm to the person who is photographed. In India, young children have had limbs torn
from their bodies to make them more pathetic and hence ”better” beggars. Adults who
commit this violence often have several children who work for them. Other form of
begging, sometimes found amusing by tourists, offend many locals. An indigenous
leader from Panama told me, “It breaks my heart to see the young boys swimming after
the coins the tourists throw in the water. We spent years acquiring our rights to this lands.
Now with tourism, the people here do not care about the land anymore. They just want
tourist dollars.”
6. Focusing on Words from the Academic Words List
