The Three Gorges Dam

“Walls of stone to hold back clouds and rain”

Mao Zedong wrote a poem in which he           (梦想) “walls of stone to         (阻止) clouds and rain till a       (光滑的,平坦的) lake       (上升) in the narrow gorges”. Now his dream has           (实现). The        (水力) of the Yangtze River, which is the world’s third longest river, has been           (利用) by the Three Gorges Dam.

The Three Gorges Dam, which is the biggest                 (建筑工程)in China since the building of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal, has been built                  (控制泛滥)and

      hydro-electric power        (为……提供)the central region of China. The dam is nearly 200 metres      (高)and 1.5 kilometres      (宽). It is the largest              (水力发电站)

and dam in the world and has cost more than any other construction project in history.

Sun Yat-sen, who was the leader of the 1911 Revolution, first       (建议,提出)the idea of a dam across the Yangtze River in 1919. Three quarters of China’s energy is         (产生)by burning coal. In 1993, China used 1.2 billion tons of coal for heating and                  (发电). Unfortunately, burning coal      (导致,引起) serious air pollution and increases             (全球变暖). The dam will generate electricity           (相当于)about 40 million tons of coal without causing so much air pollution.

The reservoir has        (淹没)2 cities, 11 counties, 140 towns and more than 4,000 villages. More than a million people who lived in the region have moved from their homes. Now they’re                         (过着幸福的新生活)in different areas.

The Three Gorges area is one of the most beautiful areas of China and the project has flooded some of China’s most famous                 (历史遗迹),       (包括)the Qu Yuan Temple, the Han Watchtower and the Moya Cliff carvings. About 800 historical relics have been      (淹没). Some of them are being          (迁移)and some are being put into museums.

  I have a rule for travel:Never carry a map.I prefer to ask for directions.

  Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don’t have names.In Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names.For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner.Turn left at the big hotel and go pass a fruit market.The post office is across from the bus stop.”

  In the countryside of the American Midwest, usually there are not many landmarks.There are no mountains, so the land is very flat(平坦的).In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles.Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance.In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles.Turn east, and then go another mile.”

  People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map:They measure distance by means of time, not miles.“How far away is the post office?” you ask.“Oh, ” they answer, “It’s about five minutes from here.” you say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.

  People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand the Greek language.Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.

  Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question.What happens in this situation?A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.”But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers, “I don’t know.”People in Yucatan think that “I don’t know” is impolite.They usually give an answer, often a wrong one.A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

  One thing will help you everywhere-in Japan, in the United States, in Greece, in Mexico, or in any other place.You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his body language.He or she will usually turn and then point in the correct direction.Go in that direction, and you may find the post office!
