Tourism
Tourism，a“smokeless industry”，is developing rapidly in China．With the“open and
reform”policy being carried out，thousands upon thousands of foreign visitors are
crowding into our country．They are eager to see this old mysterious land with a
splendid culture of more than 5，000 years．Tourism is bringing China a lot of benefits．
First，it enables the Chinese people to learn more about the outside world and
promotes friendship and mutual understanding．Second，it is financially beneficial to
China，which needs more foreign currency for its modernization program．Tourism，
however，is giving rise to a number of problems．For instance，it is becoming a burden on our
inefficient transport system．Besides，the standard of living of the average Chinese
person is still not high enough to be able to afford the many different sorts of expenses met
on long distance travel．But it is believed that with the development of our national economy，
all these problems w ill certainly be solved step by step．A much better and brighter future awaits us．

3、这部电影刚刚在英国和北美亮相，就已经获得了包括最佳艺术片、最佳女主角和最佳电影音乐原创在内三项金球奖提名的殊荣。上映3周后，在北美取得的票房成绩为21,563,000美元，看上去并不多是吧？但这仅仅是600余家影院上映的结果。当《歌剧魅影》在全美3000多家影院全面上映之后的票房会达到一个什么样的程度呢？ 可想而知。
This movie just declared a position in England and North America, already has obtained including the best artistic film, the best leading lady and best sound track three golden ball awards nominations great honor. After screens 3 weeks, obtains the box office result in North America is 2.1,563, billion US dollars, has a liking for are not certainly many? But this merely is a result which 600 theaters screens. When "Opera Demon Shade" comprehensively screens after in the entire American more than 3,000 theaters a what type can the box office achieve the degree? It can be imagined.
第一，没有及时表白。
小克对魅影，迷恋也好，沉醉也好，并没有来得及转化为爱情。劳尔认出小克之前那么长的时日，魅影占了绝对的优势，为什么偏偏要等情敌出现才引领小克走入他的世界，却又因为小克的好奇揭开了面具而急转直下，让小克由美梦中吓醒……情节本身的紧凑是音乐剧的需要，然而这种安排给人的感觉就是魅影根本在浪费时间，剧末的“I love you”是早该讲的，劳尔抢先了，甚至是魅影在劳尔出现后的急躁成全了劳尔。
第二，自己明明有温柔和风度，却不会用
对女人来说，男子的温柔和风度是那么致命，然而魅影却在小克感情尚徘徊不定时在剧院里大失风度，做了些让女人心惊胆战的事。甚至包括被揭去面具时的狂怒，都是毫无益处的。要知道小克那时其实是很为他着迷的，而他的失态却促使小克要更理智地选择伴侣。
第三，误会了小克的需要
魅影最大的骄傲是塑造了小克，他最大的精神寄托也是继续支持小克以期待爱的回报。所以他把小克当作自己的孩子、宠物、天使、爱人，以致一种精神上的占有。他不知道外面的世界，只有小克能让他信心百倍（所以小克走时他说it is over now）。劳尔出现以后他更加快了对小克事业的推动，在化妆舞会上表现得不可一世，认为小克离不了他，剧院离不了他。可是他不知道小克最需要的并非他打击残害别人而推出她的形象，也不是因为他“教导”她而离不开他，对于小克来说，他也是一个精神寄托，一个自由畅想的精神寄托。面具不面具没有关系，她要的是一个可以温善地指引她灵魂的人。当魅影歇斯底里的时候，劳尔的“我会给你自由”反倒占了上风，她倒向他并不是一种改变，而是基于自己不变的心理需要——被保护，被指引，而不是迷失，不是黑暗。
总的来说，魅影没有办法，他由于缺乏社会生活经验而不懂怎么追MM，而他遇到的又是一个没什么明显缺点的强敌。只是，从大家的讨论中，我认为魅影给小克留下的那份记忆是独特的，谁也代替不了。不管是不是爱，对于小克，这个男人她无法忘怀。所以啊，他本来是很有机会战胜劳尔的。

Gaston Leroux Birth: May 6, 1868 Death: Apr. 15, 1927
French mystery novelist, playwright, journalist, and a prolific feuilletonist. Leroux is best known for his Le Fantôme de l'opéra (1910, The Phantom of the Opera), in which a criminally insane recluse haunts a Paris opera house, and abducts a young and beautiful singer to his cellar retreat. The novel has been a source for several films and stage adaptations, including Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical version, first produced in 1987.
Gaston Leroux was born in Paris, the son of a wealthy storeowner. He attended school in Normandy and studied law in Paris, receiving his degree in 1889. After inheriting nearly a million francs he spent most of his time drinking and gambling. Finding his money gone Leroux started to work as a theater critic and reporter for L'Écho de Paris. By 1890 Leroux had become a full-time journalist. Between the years 1894 and 1906 he travelled in different countries in Europe, Africa, and Asia as a correspondent. Leroux wrote for the daily newspaper Le Matin and L'echo de Paris and reported amongst other things about the Russian Revolution of 1905. From 1909 Leroux devoted himself entirely to writing, focusing on plays and popular novels of mystery and detection. In 1919 Leroux established his own film company called Cinéromans. Leroux died in Nice on April 15/16, 1927, as a result of an acute urinary infection.
Although The Phantom of the Opera is a version of the classic tale 'Beauty and the Beast, the fatal obsession is now music. "Erik was born in a small town not far from Rouen. He was the son of a master mason. He ran away at an early age from his father's house, where his ugliness was a subject of horror and terror to his parents." After years of wandering, Erik hides himself in the cellars and corridors of the Paris Opera House. He has helped in the reconstruction of the cellars, and incorporated many trapdoors in the building. He falls in love with a young singer, Christiane Daaé, and arranges a series of deaths to advance her career. Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny, is also in love with Christine, but she is forbidden by Erik to respond to his advances. When the Opera managers refuse to make her a star, the unmasking of Erik's evil side leads to his destruction. "'Know,' he shouted, while his throat throbbed and panted like furnace, 'know that I am built up of death from head to foot and that this is a corpse that loves you and adores you and will never, never leave you!..." The plot is presented as a story pieced together from interviews, revealing the "true" history of the Opera Ghost. In the classic film version from 1925 Lon Chaney was the victim of torture with a crazed mind. Chaney is a composer himself and in his obsession with Mary Philbin, a lovely singer, he drives away the opera's star so that Philbin can have the lead in Faust. Philbin is twice abducted by the Phantom to his secret world. The great moment of the film is when the Phantom is unmasked while playing the organ. The film was banned in Britain for four years as a result of a misfired publicity stunt. In 1930 a talkie was issued, with some new footage and dialogue which had been recorded by the surviving actors. In 1943 in his remake Arthur Lubin paid a great deal of attention to music - Nelson Eddy, Susanna Foster and Jane Farrar had singing roles. The Phantom of the Paradise (1974) was Brian de Palma's horror comedy-drama about a disfigured musician haunting a contemporary pop palace. The film was poorly received by many critics but attained a large cult following. - Susan Kay's novel Phantom (1990) was based on Leroux's work and won the Romantic Novel of the Year Award; Terry Prachett also played with Leroux's ideas in his Maskerade (1995).
Leroux started to write novels in the early 1900s. Between the years 1903 and 1927 he produced two dozen newspaper serials, many shorter works and seven plays. In the UK and the USA Leroux's reputation was long based on his mysteries. His breakthrough work was Le Mystère de la chambre jaune (1907, The Mystery of the Yellow Room), which introduced the teenager crime reporter Joseph Josephson aka Rouletabille with a bullet-shaped head (hence his name). Its plot included one of the first 'locked room' murder motifs. Mademoiselle Stangerson is found in The Yellow Room, lying on the floor in the agonies of death. She has cried "Murder! - murder! - help!" The room is locked on the inside with a key and bolt, and the blinds on the only window are also fastened on the inside. Rouletabille's friend, Sinclair, chronicles the story, and serves as Rouletabille's own Dr. Watson. The official detective in the case, the least suspected person, is in fact a notorious criminal - later a much used bluff. Le Parfum de la Dame en Noir (1909), the sequel to Le Mystère... also gained popularity, but Le Fantôme de l'opéra, produced from the author's fascination with the Paris Opera House, which really is set above a network of catacombs, was at first only a moderate success.
Later the character of Rouletabille inspired several films. Henri Fescourt's 10-episode serial, Rouletabille chez les bohémes, was made in 1921, starring Gabriel de Gavrone. Istvan Szekely made Rouletabille aviateur (1932) with Roland Toutain, and Christian Chamborant starred Jean Piat in loose adaptations of Leroux's work, Rouletabille joue et gagne (1946) and Rouletabille contre la dame de pique (1947). In the 1960s the hero appeared in France in a television series. One episode was directed by Yves Boisset. Claude Brasseur played the detective under the direction of Jean Kerchbron.
Leroux's other series character was Cheri-Bibi, who appeared in such detective novels as Cheri-Bibi (trans. 1914), Cheri-Bibi: Mystery Man (trans. 1916), Missing Men: The Return of Cheri-Bibi (trans. 1923), and The Dark Road; Further Adventures of Cheri-Bibi (trans. 1924). The first film of Chéri Bibi was made in 1913, directed by Gérard Bourgeois and starring René Navarre. Charles Krauss directed Les premieres aventures de Chéri Bibi (1914), starring Emile Keppens. Nouvelle Aurore / Nouvelles aventures des Chéri Bibi (1919) was directed by Edouard-Emile Violet, starring José Davert. Léon Mathot continued the adventures with Pierre Fresnay in Chéri Bibi (1937), and the Italian Marcello (Marcel) Pagliero made Chéri Bibi / Il forzato della Guiana (1955), starring Jean Richard.
Leroux's narrative was fast moving, and he often used complicated plots. In his youth he wrote stories inspired by Alexandre Dumas and Victor Hugo. Later mature work show the influence of Jules Verne and Edgar Allan Poe, especially 'The Masque of the Red Death' (1842) in The Phantom... and the tale 'Thou Art the Man,' in which the detective turns out to be the murderer - the idea appeared again in The Mystery of the Yellow Room. In the novella The Burgled Heart (tr. 1925) Leroux employed supernatural elements - the astral body of a French woman is abducted by an English artist. The Kiss that Killed (tr. 1934) and The Machine to Kill (tr. 1935) featured a vampire and a robot as murderers.
