Exercise 11. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to

 MY 25,000 WONDERS OF THE WORLD
 The coaches at the Uluru Sunset Viewing Area were parked three deep. Guides were putting up tables 
 and setting out wines and snacks. Ten minutes to go. Are we ready? Five minutes, folks. Got your 
 cameras? OK, here it comes ... 
 Whether an American backpacker or a wealthy traveller, Danish, British, French, we all saw that sunset 
 over Uluru, or Ayer Rock, in what seems to be the prescribed tourist manner: mouth full of corn 
 chips, glass full of Château Somewhere, and a loved one posing in a photo's foreground, as the all-time 
 No 1 Australian icon behind us glowed briefly red. 
 Back on the coach, our guide declared our sunset to be 'pretty good', although not the best she'd 
 witnessed in her six years. Behind me, Adam, a student from Manchester, reinserted his iPod earphones: 
 'Well, that's enough of that rock.' Indeed. Shattered from getting up at five in order to see Uluru at dawn, 
 I felt empty and bored. What was the point? What made this rock the definitive sunset rock event? Why 
 had we come here? Well, I suppose my sons would remember it always. Except they'd missed the 
 magical moment while they checked out a rival tour group's snack table, which had better crisps. 
 So now I've visited four of the “25 Wonders of the World", as decreed by Rough Guides. And I think 
 this will be the last. While in my heart I can see myself wondering enchanted through China's Forbidden 
 City, in my head I know I would be standing grumpily at the back of a group listening to some Imperial 
 Palace Tour Guide. At the Grand Canyon I would be getting angr with tourists watching it through 
 cameras – eyes are not good enough, since they lack a recording facility.
 As we become richer and consumer goods are more widely affordable, and satisfy us only briefly before 
 becoming obsolete, we turn to travel to provide us with 'experiences’. These will endure, set us apart 
 from stay-at-home people and maybe, fill our lives with happiness and meaning, Books with helpful 
 titles like 1,000 Places to See Before You Die are bestsellers. I'd bet many backpacks on the Machu 
 Picchu Inca Trail are filled with copies, with little tieks penciled in the margins after each must-see sight 
 has been visited. Travel is now the biggest industry on the planet, bigger than armaments or 
 pharmaceuticals. And yet viewing the main sight of any destination is rarely the highlight of a trip. 
 Mostly it sits there on your itinerary like a duty visit to a dull relative. The guilt of not visiting the 
 Sistine Chapel, because we preferred to stay in a bar drinking limoncello, almost spoilt a weekend in 
 Rome. 
 In Queensland, the Great Barrier Reef reproached us. How could we travel 15,000 miles without 
 seeing it? How would we explain back home that we were too lazy, and preferred to stay playing a ball 
 game in our hotel pool? In the end, we went to the reef and it was fine. But it won't rank highly in the
