The Great Wall, 【小题1】 (run) for more than 20,000 kilometers, is a historical landmark with worldwide fame, but climbing it is hard. Everyone may have some knowledge of it more or less, while only a handful may have the skill to 【小题2】 (physical) participate in its restoration (修复).

However, a WeChat miniprogram, Great Wall E-tour, is allowing every enthusiast to be a hero in a virtual world, in 【小题3】 one not just visits the Great Wall, but also protects it. The program 【小题4】 (attract) considerable attention in recent weeks and got a large fan base. Around 50,000 high definition pictures of the Xipanjiakou site of the Great Wall are used to offer users a 【小题5】 (remark) experience.

Liu Yuzhu, head of the China Foundation for Cultural Heritage Conservation, says an agreement with Tencent 【小题6】 (reach) to make people more aware of the historical landmark years ago. “We made documentaries and published animated books in the past. These are popular, but the Great Wall is 【小题7】 complex structure and deserves more attention. So we tried something new,” Liu says. “A series of programs like 【小题8】 (we) have been launched in China, with a combination 【小题9】 public education and restoration of relics through digitization.” Though there are bottlenecks (障碍) that need to be removed, the future is bright. “There’s no 【小题10】 (short) of new ideas speaking of protecting relics,” Liu adds.

In southern China, there is a famous road built across Poyang Lake, which lies in the north of Jiangxi Province, China and is known as China’s second largest lake. People in China also call it “【小题1】 most beautiful road under the water.”

This road is sure 【小题2】 (attract) a lot of attention towards the end of May every year. A lot of people come out of 【小题3】 (curious). The water level of the lake is so close to the surface of the road, 【小题4】 (make) the view ahead broad and bright when people drive along. It’s as though they 【小题5】 (be) taking a boat across the lake. The feeling is 【小题6】 (simple) wonderful!

It is for the next few months 【小题7】 this road is not above the surface but under the water. When the water level of Poyang Lake starts to go up, the road surface becomes 【小题8】 (see). However, drivers can still drive across the lake safely by watching the guardrails (防撞护栏) fixed on either side of the road. For motorists who desire a strong feeling of excitement, it’s 【小题9】 driving an amphibious (水陆两栖的) super car. Then in a few days, the entire road 【小题10】 (flood) with the continuously rising water. A few months later, the road will reappear.

East China’s Anhui Province is home to a village that shows China’s past glory with local features. People call it “a village in a Chinese painting”.

【小题1】 (lie) at the foot of the famous Mount Huangshan, the 900-year-old village of Hongcun has kept its 【小题2】 (peace) atmosphere (气氛) and classic buildings in Hui style from ancient times.

The beautiful halls and memorial archways (拱门) 【小题3】 (build) during the Ming and Qing dynasties with white walls and grey roofs. Its unique building style is shown in simple colors but 【小题4】 (have) fine carvings (雕刻) of different kinds. One of the 【小题5】 (good) examples is the Chengzhi Hall built by a rich salt seller in 1855, which is now open 【小题6】 the public. Visitors could appreciate the beautiful woodcarvings and the amazing doors and windows, 【小题7】 lots of gold powder (粉末) was used during the building.

Besides ancient houses, Hongcun also enjoys lovely water scenery. The Moon Pond, a large half-moon-shaped lake in 【小题8】 center of the village , is always in the spotlight. The mirror-like stillness of the water creates a quiet atmosphere.

In Chinese culture, the full moon symbolizes prosperity (繁荣). Then why wasn’t the pond created that way? It is said that although the full moon carries a good 【小题9】 (mean), the half moon appears for longer than the full moon in the lunar cycle. By choosing the shape of the half moon, the locals hoped 【小题10】 (keep) the prosperity of the village.
