Our first flag had a white elephant{#blank#}3{#/blank#}it. This is a symbol of luck. Elephants are smart animals. It is easy for them to play soccer{#blank#}4{#/blank#}music.

    There is a sign at a Korean university asking tourists {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (not step) into the grass to take photos. The sign {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (write) in Chinese, not Korean or English.   

    These signs, and signs in other countries warning Chinese tourists about their behavior, have shamed many Chinese who worry about the image of the country.

    Over 70 million Chinese tourists {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (make) overseas trips last year and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (spend) $102 billion, more than the $84 billion spent by American and German tourists. For many Chinese tourists, it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) their first trip abroad and they didn't know about foreign ways. And some of these tourists took their bad habits from China with them.

    Wang Yang, a Chinese deputy prime minister (国务院副总理), said, "They (the tourists) speak loudly in public, carve words or numbers on tourist attractions, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (cross) the road when the traffic lights {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) still red and spit anywhere. It damages(毁坏) the image of the Chinese people and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (have) a very bad influence."

    Before you travel to a foreign country, it's important {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (learn)  some things about the country and its culture. You are guests in the country and it's important to respect(尊重) your hosts. As more and more Chinese visit foreign countries, their behavior will certainly change and those shameful signs {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (disappear), we hope.
