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?

近日，一名游客上周在長城上拍的照片引起網(wǎng)友們熱烈的討論。人們稱其為"中國的長龍"。那是因?yàn)檫@名游客身后那蜿蜒的古建筑上幾乎看不到一塊磚，密密麻麻地被游客們覆蓋著。故宮也一度創(chuàng)下單日接待18萬名游客的記錄。

再來看看敦煌沙漠，據(jù)悉在黃金周期間，至少兩匹駱駝死于過度勞累。據(jù)中國媒體報(bào)道：日均擁堵指數(shù)比去年上漲了30%，可謂達(dá)到歷史高峰。多數(shù)中國人選擇在黃金周(五一和十一)出游，另外一個(gè)出游高峰則是在春節(jié)假期。之后，整個(gè)城市像是突然搬空了一樣，大家不是在火車上就是在趕火車的路上。因此有民眾呼吁國家出臺(tái)第三個(gè)法定假期以分散并緩解5月份巨大的客流壓力。

問題1.新聞中提到多少個(gè)旅游景點(diǎn)?

問題2.為緩解這種現(xiàn)狀，人們呼吁國家采取什么樣的措施?
