问题     Chinese visitors are received with mixed feelings by overseas destinations. On the one hand, Chinese visitors are the largest portion of luxury consumers in the world. On the other hand, they are usually noisy, tacky and uncivil. The following article illustrates Chinese visitors’ misbehavior. Read it carefully and write your response in NO LESS THAN 300 words, in which you should:
    1. summarize briefly the article;
    2. give your comment, especially on what measures could be taken to regulate Chinese tourists’ behavior.
    Watch Your Behavior Overseas, Chinese Tourists Told
    The number of Chinese tourists—the world’s biggest tourism spenders—visiting Indonesia last year exceeded Australians, who over the years have been ranked third after Singaporeans and Malaysians. Chinese tourists have been reminded by overseas embassies to behave well and respect local laws, regulations and customs as the National Day holiday approaches. In a security notice on its website, the Chinese embassy in Canada reminds Chinese tourists visiting the country to dress well, avoid loud arguments and to refrain from drawing graffiti. "When flights are delayed, these tourists should do their best to understand and cooperate," the embassy said.
    The Chinese embassy in Thailand released a similar notice on its website, saying that anyone traveling overseas with a condescending attitude would "ruin their own image". Every Chinese tourist should represent the country’s image, the notice said, adding, "It is true patriotism to respect other people and behave civilly."
    Chinese tourists have a longer vacation this year, with Sunday’s Mid-Autumn Festival falling close to the National Day holiday.
    Travel agencies including Ctrip.com, China Youth Travel Service and Lvmama.com all reported outbound bookings during the holiday increasing by at least by 150 per cent year-on-year.
But amid the boom, some Chinese tourists have triggered controversy with reports of bad behavior, including four visitors who vented their anger in Bangkok on last month after an announcement that their return flight to Chongqing would be delayed by about nine hours because of bad weather and technical issues.
    China Central Television reported that many scenic areas in Thailand have put up signs in Chinese reminding Chinese tourists to be well behaved.
    In April, the China National Tourism Administration started to keep records of bad behavior. So far, 11 incidents have been reported on its website, including six related to tourists in Thailand.
Ctrip, China’s leading travel service provider based in Shanghai, said it had introduced a mobile app and videos to help guide its clients, especially individual travelers.
    Yan Xin, a publicity officer at the company, said, "Much bad behavior is caused by misunderstandings, language barriers and lack of overseas travel experience. Some incidents could be avoided if homework was done in advance."
    Dai Bin, director of the China Tourism Academy, said more legal measures should be introduced to regulate tourists’ behavior. "Some behavior cannot just be categorized as uncivilized behavior, such as drawing graffiti on ancient relics. Such behavior should be punished according to laws or regulations," Dai said.

答案             Three Steps Towards Civilized Tourists
    As the number of Chinese tourists traveling abroad keeps soaring year by year, their uncivilized behavior has provoked discontent and anger in the host country, especially in Thailand, as the above article reports. As a result, overseas embassies remind Chinese tourists of behaving civilly as well as abiding by local laws. The article also quotes several measurements and suggestions to tackle the problem, like blacklisting tourists behaving badly abroad, offering tourists guides through apps and videos, and enforcing laws and regulation to punish misbehavior. To save our national image from falling, it is high time that we worked out some methods to regulate the behavior of Chinese tourists abroad. My suggestions are as follows:
    Firstly, we should teach Chinese tourists the cultural norms of overseas destinations and the suitable manners to adopt. Cultural discrepancy contributes to the wide divergence of courtesy behavior and standards in every place. For example, most Chinese like to flock together on any bustling and festive occasion to create a jubilant and delightful scene, believing the noisier, the merrier. This, nonetheless, could come as an impolite manner to foreigners. Therefore, before going abroad, tourists should be educated with the other countries’ decency and urbanity, so that they can behave well in their overseas destinations.
    Secondly, consistent with Dai Bin’s comment in the article, rules and regulations should be set up to stipulate behavior of Chinese tourists in a foreign land. Any tourist who breaks the rules and arouses complaint from local people should be given punishment which prevents him from applying for his next trip abroad successfully. In this way, Chinese tourists will be aware of the fact that they might suffer the consequence of their wrong-doings.
    In conclusion, it takes the endeavor of both tourism management and tourists themselves to save our national image from falling. Among the measures, educating tourists before they go abroad should be regarded as the most important one and be implemented with no efforts spared.
