News Item One
(1)Recently, a photo showing a visitor on the Great Wall last week aroused a heated discussion on the Internet. They called it the "great queue of China". It was, with the famous structure snaking to the horizon behind him completely hidden by a mass of other tourists. (1) The vast imperial palace, the Forbidden City, at one point welcomed more than 180,000 visitors in a single day.
(1)In the desert at Dunhuang, at least two camels transporting tourists reportedly died from overwork in the Golden Week. And Chinese media said road traffic was up by thirteen percent on last year, causing unprecedented jams. Many people in China save their travelling for the two big annual public holidays—the other is at Chinese New Year. Then, it seems as if the whole country has shut down and everyone is on the road or on the train. (2) Thus there've been renewed appeals for a third public holiday, in May, to be lengthened to spread the strain.
1.How many tourist attractions have been mentioned in the news?
2.What do people want to do for easing the current situation according to the news?
短篇新闻
近日,一名游客上周在长城上拍的照片引起网友们热烈的讨论。人们称其为"中国的长龙"。那是因为这名游客身后那蜿蜒的古建筑上几乎看不到一块砖,密密麻麻地被游客们覆盖着。故宫也一度创下单日接待18万名游客的记录。
再来看看敦煌沙漠,据悉在黄金周期间,至少两匹骆驼死于过度劳累。据中国媒体报道:日均拥堵指数比去年上涨了30%,可谓达到历史高峰。多数中国人选择在黄金周(五一和十一)出游,另外一个出游高峰则是在春节假期。之后,整个城市像是突然搬空了一样,大家不是在火车上就是在赶火车的路上。因此有民众呼吁国家出台第三个法定假期以分散并缓解5月份巨大的客流压力。
问题1.新闻中提到多少个旅游景点?
问题2.为缓解这种现状,人们呼吁国家采取什么样的措施?
