English passages:

1.The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China in part to protect the Chinese Empire or its prototypical states against intrusions by various nomadic groups or military incursions by various warlike peoples or forces. Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BC;[3] these, later joined together and made bigger, stronger, and unified are now collectively referred to as the Great Wall.[4] Especially famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Little of that wall remains. Since then, the Great Wall has on and off been rebuilt, maintained, and enhanced; the majority of the existing wall was reconstructed during the Ming Dynasty.

Other purposes of the Great Wall have included border controls, allowing the imposition of duties on goods transported along the Silk Road, regulation or encouragement of trade and the control of immigration and emigration. Furthermore, the defensive characteristics of the Great Wall were enhanced by the construction of watch towers, troop barracks, garrison stations, signaling capabilities through the means of smoke or fire, and the fact that the path of the Great Wall also served as a transportation corridor.

The Great Wall stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east, to Lop Lake in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia. A comprehensive archaeological survey, using advanced technologies, has concluded that the Ming walls measure 8,850 km (5,500 mi).[5] This is made up of 6,259 km (3,889 mi)

sections of actual wall, 359 km (223 mi) of trenches and 2,232 km (1,387 mi) of natural defensive barriers such as hills and rivers.[5] Another archaeological survey found that the entire wall with all of its branches measure out to be 21,196 km (13,171 mi).[6]

2. Yellowstone, however, is much more than hot ground and gushing steam. Located astride the Continental Divide, most of the park occupies a high plateau surrounded by mountains and drained by several rivers. Park boundaries enclose craggy peaks, alpine lakes, deep canyons, and vast forests. In 1872, Yellowstone became the world's first national park, the result of great foresight on the part of many people about our eventual need for the solace and beauty of wild places.

In early years, what made Yellowstone stand out was the extravaganza of geysers and hot springs. The wild landscape and the bison, elk, and bears were nice but, after all, America was still a pioneer country filled with scenic beauty and animals.

Chinese passages:

1.八达岭长城位于北京市延庆县军都山关沟古道北口。是明长城中保存最好、也最具代表性的地段。联合国“世界文化遗产”之一。

八达岭长城典型地表现了万里长城雄伟险峻的风貌。作为北京的屏障，这里山峦重叠，形势险要。气势极其磅礴的城墙南北盘旋延伸于群峦峻岭之中。依山势向

两侧展开的长城雄峙危崖，陡壁悬崖上古人所书的"天险"二字，确切的概括了八达岭位置的军事重要性。

八达岭长城驰名中外，誉满全球。是万里长城向游人开放最早的地段。“不到长城非好汉”。迄今，先后有尼克松、里根、撒切尔、戈尔巴乔夫、伊丽莎白等372位外国首脑和众多的世界风云人物登上八达岭观光游览。

八达岭长城为居庸关的重要前哨，古称“居庸之险不在关而在八达岭”。明长城的八达岭段是长城建筑最精华段，集巍峨险峻、秀丽苍翠于一体，“玉关天堑”为明代居庸关八景之一。

八达岭长城其关城为东窄西宽的梯形，建于明弘治十八年，嘉靖、万历年间曾修葺。关城有东西二门，东门额题“居庸外镇”，刻于嘉靖十八年；西门额题“北门锁钥”，刻于万历十年。

八达岭是历史上许多重大事件的见证。第一帝王秦始皇东临碣石后，从八达岭取道大同，再驾返咸阳。肖太后巡幸、元太祖入关、元代皇帝每年两次往返北京和上都之间、明代帝王北伐、李自成攻陷北京、清代天子亲征……八达岭都是必经之地。近代史上，慈禧西逃泪洒八达岭、詹天佑在八达岭主持修筑中国自力修建的第一条铁路——京张铁路、孙中山先生登临八达岭长城等，留下了许多历史典故和珍贵的历史回忆，是历史名地。

八达岭景区除了长城外，还有长城碑林、五郎像、石佛寺石像、戚继光景园、袁崇焕景园、长城碑林景园等景点。

3．黄山，原名黟山，因峰岩青黑，遥望苍黛而名。后因传说轩辕黄帝曾在此炼丹成仙，唐玄宗信奉道教，故于天宝六年（公元747年）六月十七日改为“黄山”。据地质资料分析，黄山在四亿年前元古代震旦是古扬子海，两亿年前中生代三迭纪“印支地壳运动”变为陆地。此后，又历经多次造山运动的磨砺和第四次冰川的洗礼，才逐渐形成今天这样雄奇险幻的景色，被世人誉为“天下第一奇山”。黄山风景区分为：玉屏景区、白云景区、北海景区、松谷景区、云谷景区、温泉景区、梦幻景区。黄山集名山之大成；泰山之雄伟、华山之峻峭、峨嵋之清凉、匡庐之飞瀑、雁荡之巧石、衡山之烟云、黄山无不兼而有之。

资源主要特点：一是景观奇特。景区内有名可数的景点800多处。千米以上的山峰有77座，命名的有36大峰，36小峰。其中莲花峰、天都峰、

光明顶三大主峰，海拔均在1800米以上，且各有特点：莲花峰瑰丽，光明顶高旷，天都峰险峻。黄山以变取胜，一年四季景各异，初春：繁花似锦，五彩缤纷，漫山杜鹃，争奇斗艳，十里桃花，姹紫嫣红；盛夏：涌泉池清，峭壁飞瀑，层峦叠翠，绿荫遍地，奇花异草，芳香诱人；金秋：丹枫如火，山花流芳，层林尽染，凝紫飞红，绚丽璀璨；严冬：银装素裹，玉树琼楼，雾松冰挂，晶莹雅洁。黄山可以说无峰不石，无石不松，无松不奇。其二湖，三瀑，十六泉，二十四溪相映争辉。并以奇松、怪石、云海、温泉、冬雪,俗称黄山“五绝”。奇松，“高可寻丈短尺许，寄生以石不以土”。名松一百多棵，其中列入世界遗产名录的有32棵。怪石，有名可数的有一百二十多处，它们巧夺天工，妙趣横生。尤其是与奇松相映成趣，分外瑰奇。“黄山甲天下，松与石最奇”。云海，是黄山的魔术大师，使山静中有动、动中有静，“只信茫茫云是海，不信茫茫海是云”。温泉，属碳酸盐型，水质可浴可饮，水温长年保持在42℃左右。“五岳若与黄山并，犹欠灵砂一温泉”。冬雪，是游人公认的一绝。
