问题      Threats from nomadic people in the north were 【C1】______  throughout Chinese history.  They were continually attacking the Chinese northern 【C2】______  . With each new emperor, came endless debate about how to   【C3】______  the barbarians. There were four options: 【C4】______  offensive campaigns to drive them away or to destroy them; create defensive garrisons; develop diplomatic and 【C5】______  ties with them, or build a wall to keep them out.
     All the options were 【C6】______  at various times.  Experience showed that 【C7】______  campaigns were too costly and very risky, 【C8】______  defensive garrisons could not respond quickly enough 【C9】______  lightning attacks along a long border. The third option would seem to be a very 【C10】______  one and it was in fact tried successfully 【C11】______  a couple of occasions. Wall building became the most favored option in many dynasties.
