答案

The reading and the listening both talk about whether national park should charge fees. However, what the reading suggests is quite different from main point in the listening. First, the author of the reading considers that it is unreasonable for charging fees because the taxes people hand over contain expenses for running the park. On the contrary, the professor maintains the opinion that charging fees is relatively fair. That is, some people only come to national park once a year while spending same amount of tax as others who visit the park several times a year do. Although everyone can go to the national park, not all people really do so. This directly contradicts what the reading indicates. Second, the reading passage asserts that charging fees is a bad decision in that spending more money will diminish people’s interest to visit the park. In contrast, the lecturer holds a different view that ticket-policy is viable. To state it more clearly, the standard of charging can depend on the level of park. Moreover, visitors think that the higher the price of the ticket is the superior the park itself looks, which means more people will choose to visit the national park. This is another part where the reading contravenes the listening. Third, in the reading, it is said that sales service from charging policy will distract employees from other important jobs such as security. Nevertheless, the speaker refutes such idea by pointing out that when checking tickets, employees can talk to tourists and then they will know their ideas and needs and renovate certain facilities. After knowing the number of visitors, employees can control the incidence of accident and emergence, so the service will be raised. (285 words)
