  What's the best tide of the passage?

In September 2013, the China National  Tourism  Administration（国家旅游局）issued a new set of tourist guideline in order to improve tourists' behavior when they travel abroad.  Although the 64-page  handbook  contains  suggestions for Chinese tourists when traveling at home, the main purpose is to improve the poor reputation（声誉）of Chinese tourists abroad.
In 2013, more than 83 million Chinese people traveled overseas, up 18 percent from the year 2012, according to  the  China  Tourism  Academy. But  even as they travel farther, the Chinese tourists continue to take bad habits with them.  From damaging ancient Egyptian temples to letting children defecate（排便）in the  middle  of airports,   Chinese tourists have earned a bad fame. Chinese Vice-Premier Wang Yang even  stressed  the  need for Chinese tourists to behave better while traveling overseas so as to protect China's image abroad.
Now with the latest "guidebook", Chinese travelers should have no excuse for rude behavior. According to the guidelines, when using the restroom,  Chinese tourists are asked not to forget to flush the toilet after using it.
The guidelines also remind tourists of not fighting with others  when they want to take pictures at tourist attractions. When flying, the guidelines advise  travelers  not to take life vests（救生衣）away from airplanes.
Chinese tourists are also encouraged to be respectful of local customs wherever they travel.  In the United Kingdom, for example, it is not polite to ask people。Where are you going?" or “Have you eaten?", the handbook says.
Nevertheless, with a very short history of traveling overseas, it is not surprising that many Chinese tourists behave badly on their foreign trips. We should give them time to change.

Listening to songs is a great way to learn English.  Here are a few reasons.
  And when you are enjoying yourself, you learn without even realizing it. The best thing is  that  there  are  so  many good songs in English and there are so many kinds of music, including pop, country, R&B, rock, soul and so on. Let David Bowie, Madonna, The Beatles，Alicia Keys…be your teachers!
  Just take your MP3 player with your favorite tracks and press “play” And you can listen to them whenever and wherever you want, so you can learn English while you're walking, driving, doing sports or relaxing on the sofa.
 while you're  listening  to  songs,  you  are raising  your  awareness of language structures. And you're seeing how the structures are formed and used.
And after singing along to the songs several times, all  those  phrases and expressions will become firm in fixed in your long-term memory.  Then  later  you'll find that you use them naturally when you're speaking or writing.
For example, the song American  Pie is  about the 1959 plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bapper, which was an important event in US history. So, load up your MP3 player, put on your headphones and press“play”!
