Tourism can be both good and bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals,     1     it may also bring some problems.

One growing problem is tourists who want to prove     2     (they) coming. Tourists have used paint, rocks, or even keys     3     (write) on the Luxor Temple in Egypt, memorial stones at the bottom of Qomolangma and many, many other places. Thousands of tourist sites are being destroyed by tourists who “love them to     4     (die)”.

Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing (打扰) the local people     5     (continual). The local people     6     (take) pictures without asking for their permission. For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand has great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses, taking pictures of students, and disturbing their studies. I have three words for tourists like this: please be considerate. Have fun in a way     7     does not disturb others.

    8     number of problems from tourists is endless: walking in large groups without considering     9     (other) who need to walk by, crossing roads without thinking of local traffic laws, and many more. The only way to solve the problem of the terrible tourists is to make sure that you are not one! Be the best,     10     (kind), most polite tourist possible.

Cusco is a popular destination for tourists, because     1     its unique place in the history of South America. Cusco was the capital city of the Inca Empire     2    was the most powerful in South America until the 1500s. There are two especially interesting things     3    (admire) about the Inca civilization. The first is the roads and paths they built to connect their important cities. Second, the Incas built wonderful cities full of     4     (amaze) architecture — but there were no markets in these cities.

Situated in the Haidian District, northwest of Beijing, the Summer Palace is 15 kilometers away from the downtown area. Being the     1     (large) and most well-preserved royal garden in China, it     2     (great) influences Chinese horticulture (园艺) and landscape with     3     (it) famous natural views and the works of humankind.

Originally     4     (name)  Qingyi Yuan or the Garden of Clear Ripples, the Summer Palace was first constructed in 1750. It later     5     (become) the main residence of royal members at the end of the Qing Dynasty. However, like most of the gardens in Beijing, the Summer Palace     6     (destroy) by fire and was razed to the ground by the Anglo-French Allied Forces. Rebuilt in 1886, it was supposed to serve     7     a summer resort for the Empress Dowager Cixi. The year 1900 saw the Summer Palace     8    (suffer)another hit by the Eight-Power Allied Forces. Then the government spent two years repairing it. In 1924, it was open to     9     public. The Summer Palace was added to the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 1998, and became one of the first national AAAAA tourist     10     (spot) in China.

A skywell, or “tian jing” (天井) in Mandarin, is a typical feature of a     1     (tradition) home in southern and eastern China. Different from a northern Chinese courtyard, a skywell is     2     (small) and less exposed to the outdoor environment.

Skywells are     3     (common) seen in homes dating to Ming and Qing dynasties, which were built     4     (house) generations of relatives. Skywells helped cool buildings in an era (时代) well     5     air-conditioning existed. When wind blows above a skywell house, it can enter the indoor space through the opening.     6     outdoor air is often cooler than indoor air, the incoming breeze travels down the walls to the lower stories and creates airflows by replacing warmer indoor air,     7     rises and leaves through the opening.

    8     (design) to serve as a gathering space for families or communities as well, skywell buildings     9     (exist) in China for hundreds of years. Although in recent times they have often been forgotten by people     10     (prefer) modern facilities, due to a revival of traditional Chinese architecture, skywell buildings have been making a comeback.
