Even in the 21st century, society respects the role of the provider more than the role of child raiser Mark found out all about it
Mark and Georgenes learned that it was very important to talk about their problems In the beginning, Mark thought Georgenes had the easy job, and Georgenes thought that Mark had it easy Later
they talked it over and discovered that both jobs were difficult and rewarding Georgenes and Mark
agree that talking things over and making decisions together help their relationship
The Wertmans are now happy with the results of their decision Their children are ready for a world where men and women can choose their roles Wertman's book is entertaining and educational, especially for couples who want to switch roles Mark Wertman says: "We are society We make the changes one by one People have to decide on what's best for them and their families"

With 13,000 floral species and over 15,000 faunal species, three newly discovered big animal species, and a ratio of country/world species of 6.3%, Vietnam has enormous tourism - particularly ecotourism - potential In fact, since 1986, when Renovation Reforms began the shift from a centrally planned to a socialist-oriented market, or multi-sectoral economy, tourism has been a sector of primary concern to the government In May 1995, the prime minister of Vietnam approved a master plan of tourism development for the period 1995 - 2010 In February 1999, the state decree on tourism was part
of the socio-economic development strategy for the period 2001 - 2010 approved at the IX National Congress of the Party: "Tourism development has become a spearhead economic industry indeed It is

and to catch up with tourism development in the region" (Document of the IX National Congress 2001)
Tourism has so far brought great benefits to the economy, but it has also contributed to

Ecotourism involves travel to relatively undisturbed natural areas with the specific object of studying, admiring and enjoying scenery, plants and animals as well as any cultural features found in
these areas It is distinguished from mass or resort tourism by its lower impact on the environment, lower
infrastructure requirements, and its role in educating tourists about natural environments and cultural values

C has always been effective and necessary for economy

Question 42: According to the passage, who help ecotourism to develop in Vietnam?

B Business people and environmental conservationists
C Foreign tourists and local Vietnamese people

B She studied very well just because she lived in good conditions
C Living in difficult conditions forced she to study very well
D Living in difficult conditions, she had no choice but to study well
