Question

【題目】International tourism is becoming more and more popular. Large numbers of people from all over the world come to visit famous places, such as the Great Wall of China and the Sistine Chapel（西斯廷教堂）in Vatican City. These visitors contribute (貢獻(xiàn))a lot to the local development, but at the same time they have caused many problems. They’ve thrown rubbish everywhere, brought more traffic and even done serious damage（破壞）to these places.

As for the damage, there are many different causes. For example, the paintings in the Sistine Chapel are being damaged because people breathe onto them when they visit. Damage in other places such as the Great Wall is serious partly because tourists climb on delicate（脆弱的）areas. Even though some of the walls were built of stone, after so many years, they are already in poor condition and need to be rebuilt.

▲On the one hand, we have to cut down tourist numbers, because fewer visitors will result in less damage. On the other hand, we should make strict rules about which areas people can visit and what they can do when they get there. For example, special paths（路徑）can be built and people will not be allowed to walk off the paths. Visitors to indoor places can be asked to wear masks（面罩）to protect the paintings.

It is necessary to control tourism at famous places. If we do not do this, these places will disappear from our planet. And people who live hundreds of years later will have no chance to see these great places.
