A short history of international tourism
Foreign lands have probably always interested people, but very few of them traveled for fun
until recently, because it was difficult to go by land or sea to another country. The people who
took the challenging journeys were mainly explorers trying to find out about new places, for
example, where a river started or ended, or what was on the other side of an ocean. Others were
people who wanted to buy or sell things in a foreign country.
In Europe, tourism for ordinary people started to become popular once people could travel by
train in the 19th century. Slowly, countries in other parts of the world got railways, and more
and more people traveled in their own country or even, by steamship, to other countries, for fun.
Then the plane was invented at the start of the 20th century and, 50 years later, cheap air travel
and car hire made tourism a worldwide leisure activity.
People who went abroad at this time had to learn some of the language of any country which
they visited. Small phrase books for pockets or bags were sold for many languages, and tourists
carried them so they could check out quickly how to say, for example, 'Where is the train
station?' or 'How much does it cost for a double room for one week?'
Tourists still need to learn some words in a foreign language if they want to visit most countries.

5
But nowadays, there are very few places where they need to learn the language of that country
or use phone apps and maps there. Why? Because anyone working in the tourist industry
anywhere in the world probably speaks English.

in paragraph 2?
A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
5. What does "them" mean in paragraph 3?
