1 . How to Be a Good Tourist

We travel not only for work but also for fun and learning. Restaurants, galleries, temples and architecture… These places are like homes for people who live and work there. How would you want visitors to behave in your own home? I think we would like them to make it a little better because of their visit.     1    .

Do your homework. Read about the places you want to visit.     2    , but is that the best place to go? Is it popular only because the one-day tourist can see it easily or because it is really a worthwhile place to visit? You’d better check it out.

    3    . Walk around, even if in the streets closest to your hotel. Eat in local restaurants. Talk to the locals. Learn a few in the local language and use them. You will surely get a smile from the hotel staff and street sellers.

Help preserve the sites.     4    , so care needs to be taken to allow others to enjoy them as well. Some of these monuments are so old and fragile that they are sensitive to the touch of hands or bags and shows. Always have a cloth bag with you. This way, you don’t encourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites.

And here’s the big one — good manners are nearly universal.     5    . If that doesn’t sound like you, then give the world a break and stay home.

A．Experience the place

B．Most of the sites you visit may be visited by millions of people a year

C．Guides will help you when you get to the site

D．Try to buy something from the local stores

E．A good tourist is polite, positive and eco-sensitive

F．We’ve cleaned up after ourselves and taken only good memories

G．There are many ways of doing this without sacrificing (牺牲) our own holiday

5 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

It was a short flight    1     Shanghai to Xi’an. Xi’an is one of the four great ancient capitals of China with a history of over 3,100 years.     2     (date) from the Ming Dynasty, its ancient walls are the best preserved in the world. There are bicycles for people to hire. It is     3     (amaze)to ride along the walls to survey this fascinating city.

The Tang Dynasty Music and Dance show is not to be missed, but my favorite is     4     art gallery,where we can enjoy some beautiful artwork and learn how to write Chinese characters.

Most visitors make their way to Xi’an to see the life-size terracotta warriors(兵马俑)and we were not     5     (difference) at all. The collection,     6     shows the armies of the first Em-peror of China,remained hidden until 1974 when they     7     (discover)by a farmer digging a well.     8     (walk)among the statues is forbidden unless you are a VIP-but there are plenty of souvenir     9    (shop)in which tourists can buy the replicas(复制品)of them.

All too soon it was time     10     (leave). I really enjoyed my stay in Xi’an. It is indeed a place of interest worth a second visit.

Good morning, everyone. It is my honor to stand here and share with something about traveling. Which I’d like to convey is that to travel is also to learn. Take my journey to Xi’an for example. Previously, I do learn something about the city from books and TV programs. Therefore, I didn’t know what wonderful it was until I was there in person. When traveling, we can feel the surrounding with our own eyes, noses and so on, thus broaden our horizons. The picture took on the Great Wall is good reminder of my happy days during my stay in Xi’an. So everyone, seize every chance or you will start an amazing journey to learn.
