Thats definitely what attracts me to cities,“ said Don George, global travel editor for Lonely Planet Publications.Few large cities have remarkable natural scenic attractions to build upon, so they tend to rely on heri

5、tage and cultural sites to set themselves apart, according to Douglas Frechtling, a professor of tourism studies at George Washington University.Visiting cities gained popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries, as the landed aristocracy in Britain increasingly sent their sons and occasionally their

6、daughters to round out their education on a Grand Tour of the celebrated sights and cities of continental Europe, Frechtling said. Americas nouveau riche adopted this tradition in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and later, less well-heeled travelers joined the tourist ranks.“In terms of what

An average of more than two cars a minute are broken into, vandalized (破坏) or stolen in the UK. Car crime accounts for almost a third of all

13、 reported offences with no signs that the trend is slowing down.Although there are highly professional criminals involved in car theft, almost 90 percent of car crime is committed by the opportunist. Amateur thieves are aided by our carelessness. When the Automobile Association (AA) engineers survey

14、ed one town centre car park last year, 10 percent of cars checked were unlocked, a figure backed up by a Home Office national survey that found 12 percent of drivers sometimes left their cars unlocked.The vehicles are sitting in petrol stations while drivers pay for their fuel. The AA has discovered

15、 that cars are left unattended for an average of three minutes and sometimes much longer as drivers buy drinks, cigarettes and other consumer items and then pay at the counter. With payment by credit card more and more common, it is not unusual for a driver to be out of his car as long as six minute

16、s providing the car thief with a golden opportunity.In an exclusive AA survey, carried out at a busy garage on a main road out of London, 300 motorists were questioned over three days of the holiday period. 24 percent admitted that they “always“ or “sometimes“ leave the keys in the car. This means t

17、hat nationwide, a million cars daily become easy targets for the opportunist thief.The AA recommends locking up whenever you leave the car and for however short a period. A partially open sunroof or window is a further come on to thieves.Leaving valuables in view is an invitation to the criminal. A

Theres a lake, some soccer fields and horses. But the

22、 campers make the difference. Theyre all American parents who have adopted kids from China. Theyre at Hidden Valley to find bridges from their childrens old worlds to the new. Diana Becker of Montville, Maine, watches her 3-year-old daughter Mika dance to a Chinese version of “Twinkle, Twinkle Littl

23、e Star.“ “Her soul is Chinese,“ she says, “but really shes growing up American.“Hidden Valley and a handful of other “culture camps“ serving families with children from overseas reflect the huge rise in the number of foreign adoptions, from 7,093 in 1990 to 15,774 last year. After cutting through wh

24、at can be miles of red tape, parents often come home to find a new dilemma. “At first you think, I need a child,“ says Sandy Lachter, who with her husband, Steve, adopted Amelia, 5, from China in 1995. “Then you think, What does the child need?“The culture camps give families a place to find answers

25、 to those kinds of questions. Most grew out of local support groups. While parents address weighty issues like how to raise kids in a mixed-race family, their children just have fun together such as riding horses and singing Chinese songs. “My philosophy of camping is that they could be doing anythi

26、ng, as long as they see other Chinese kids with white parents,“ says the director, Peter Kassen.The camp is a continuation of language and dance classes many of the kids attend during the year. “When we rented out a theater for Mulan, it was packed,“ says Stephen Chen of Boston. Classes in Chinese l

27、anguage, art and calligraphy (书法) are taught by experts, like Renne Lu of the Greater Boston Chinese Cultural Center. “Our mission is to preserve the heritage,“ Lu says.Kids who are veteran campers say the experience helps them understand their complex heritage. Sixteen-year-old Alex was born in Ind

28、ia and adopted by Kathy and David Brinton of Boulder, Colo. , when he was 7. “I went through a stage where I hated India, hated everything about it,“ he says. “You just couldnt mention India to me.“ But after six sessions at the East India Colorado Heritage Camp, he hopes to travel to India after he

29、 graduates from high school next year.Camp can be a learning experience for the whole family. Whitney Ning, 23, a counselor for four years, says the Korea Heritage Camp helped her become closer to her parents. “They were hesitant at first,“ she says, “but when they saw how much it meant to me, they

Normally, such an event would cause little st

35、ir. Wal-Mart is already Mexicos biggest retailer too. And its shops seem to be very well welcomed by its millions of bargain-hungry customers. But this particular opening was, in fact, the culmination of months of protests, legal actions and hunger strikes by those determined to stop it.The reason i

36、s the location. Just 2.5km (1.6 miles) away is the ancient city of Teotihuacan, probably Mexicos most famous archaeological site. Amongst other attractions, it boasts the third-largest (by volume) pyramid in the world. For many Mexicans, the ancient site, abandoned by its mysterious inhabitants cent

37、uries before the Spanish conquerors arrived, remains the ultimate symbol of Mexican identity and nationhood. Thousands troop up to the top of the Pyramid of the Sun to celebrate the summer solstice (夏至).To them, the idea of having a Wal-Mart next door is unbearable. In the words of Homero Aridjis, a

38、 writer and one of the leading opponents, “it is like driving the stake of globalization into the heart of old Mexico.“ The controversy is only the latest in a string of protesters attempts to save Mexican culture from what they see as a creeping menace. They won a famous victory by blocking a McDon

39、alds restaurant from opening in the main square of the pretty southern colonial town of Oaxaca.But this time they were on much thinner ground. For a start, Wal-Mart went through all the appropriate regulatory rules, even getting permission from the Paris-based International Council on Monuments and

40、Sites, which judged that the store would cause no harm to the nearby ruins. A small stone platform was indeed found during construction of the new car park, but was preserved.Just as importantly, the claim that the new store spoils the famous view from the top of the Pyramid of the Sun is clearly in

41、correct, as anyone who cares to get to the top can testify. The problem is not so much in seeing the Wal-Mart as in taking pains to distinguish it from the 30-odd other ugly buildings that litter the surrounding countryside.To the diehards (顽固分子), the issue counts more than the .view. But neither ma

42、ttered much to the hundreds of locals who queued up for the opening, delighted to be freed of the small and expensive local shops. Despite a legal case pending (悬而未决的) against Wal-Mart and local officials, brought by an irritated local left-wing politician, this is one battle that the American retai

43、ler has probably won.（分数：44.50）(1).What is the central idea of this article?（分数：8.90）A.Wal-Mart would cause fierce competition with local stores.B.As the worlds biggest retailer, Wal-Mart attracts the Mexican customers with superb service.C.Stores are forbidden to open around the Pyramid of the Sun.
