Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha” the land of fire. Death Valleys present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place. Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors.

According to a study, about two-thirds of survey participants use the Internet for news often entertainment-related or for online games. About half download music and movies.They also tend to prefer instant messaging to e-mail, and they are depending on the Internet more frequently than before to communicate with others who have the same professions, hobbies and political interests. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China. Three-quarters of users surveyed have never bought anything over the Internet, and only 10 percent make purchases even once a month. Among those who do buy online, most pay for entertainment while others buy phone cards, or computer hardware or software.“Many people dont trust the quality of goods bought online,” Guo said Wednesday. “If they buy it in a store and dont like it, they can easily bring it back.”The survey was done in five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Changsha. Results do not necessarily project countrywide because Internet use in rural areas is lower than in cities. Guo describes the typical netizen in the five cities surveyed as young, male, richer and more highly educated. Males make up two-thirds of the Internet community, and more than 80 percent of users are under 24. Among people ages 25 to 29, 60 percent to 80 percent go online.China has more than 100 million people online, second in the world to the United States.1.

CBig Ben, the landmark London clock renowned for its accuracy and chimes (和谐的钟声), stopped ticking for 90 minutes, an engineer said Saturday.Officials do not know why the 147-year-old clock on the banks of the River Thames stopped at 10:07 p.m. Friday. It continued keeping time, but stopped again at 10:20 p.m. and remained still for about 90 minutes before starting up again, a spokeswoman for the House of Commons saidThere has been speculation (推测) a recent period of hot weather may have been to blame. Temperatures in London reached 90 Saturday, and forecasters called it Englands hottest day in May since 1953. Big Ben, which is operated by the Palace of Westminster, survived attacks by German Luftwaffe bombers during World War II, continuing to mark the time to within 1 1/2 seconds of Greenwich Mean Time. However, the clock has experienced occasional problems. In 1962, snow caused the clock to ring in the New Year 10 minutes late. In 1976, the clock stopped when a piece of its machinery broke. Big Ben also stopped on April 30, 1997, and once more three weeks later. Big Ben is actually the clocks 13-ton bell, which was named after Sir Benjamin Hall, the British commissioner of works at the time the clock was built.

Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman empire. But when the empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped.In the early 17th century, the idea of the “Grand Tour” was born. Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel. They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice in Italy. Their tours lasted for two or four years and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city. The “Grand Tour was an important part of young peoples education but only for the rich.In the 18th century, tourism began to change. For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns. such as Bath to take the waters”. They believed that the water there was good for their health. So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns.In the 1 9th century, travel became much more popular and faster. When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between towns，so they started to go for holidays by sea. And some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger, noisier and dirtier.Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built. People began travel more to faraway countries. The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people. Planes were made larger, so ticket prices dropped and more people used them. History of Tourism1.
