问题     People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or 【S1】______ shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
    Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot 【S2】______ for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean 【S3】______ and beaches for their vacation.

And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain’s long sandy coastline 【S5】______ more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain. But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can 【S6】______ . The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it’s getting worse.

    None of this, however, is 【S8】______ anyone’s fun, The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. 【S9】______ , they don’t go there for clean water and solitude. They 【S10】______ traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
