Egyptian radiologist Ahmed Hassan liked the design and architecture of China’s     1     (remark)Temple of Heaven so much that he decided to build a replica (复制品) of Beijing’s historic monument with matchsticks.

In his free time, while exercising his hobby of building models of landmarks with matchsticks, Hassan spent more than two months     2     (work) on the Temple of Heaven. He finished the whole replica of it using about 22,000 matchsticks which he thought is one of the key landmarks and tourist     3     (attract) of Beijing, the capital of China.

The over 600-year-old monument covers     4     area of 270 hectares and     5     (consider) one of the largest existing architectural complexes in the world. Just as the original circular building is     6     (complete) wooden with no nails, the Egyptian radiologist used only matchsticks, white glue and a cutter blade to build the replica of the temple.

Hassan,     7     returned to his old hobby in 2013,     8     (produce) more than 20 replicas of monuments from Egypt, Britain, France, Denmark and Russia over the past few years. He said that building a matchstick model of the Temple of Heaven wasn’t an easy job, for it was his first time     9     (carry) out a replica of a landmark from Asia in general and China     10     particular.
