vast majority of the population is Muslim. Turkey joined the EU Customs Union in 1995 and started full membership negotiations with the European Union in 2005. Turkey's growing economy and diplomatic initiatives have led to its recognition as a regional power. Tourism in Turkey has experienced rapid growth in the last twenty years, and constitutes an important part of the economy.

In 2013, 37.8 million foreign visitors arrived in Turkey, which ranked as the 6th most popular tourism destination in the world; they contributed $27.9 billion to Turkey's revenues.

2、The Statue of Liberty is a neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York

Harbor in New York City, in the United States. The copper statue, designed by a French sculptor, and dedicated on October 28, 1886, was a gift to the United

States from the people of France. The statue is of a robed female figure

representing Libertas, the Roman goddess, who bears a torch and a tablet evoking the law upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of

Independence, July 4, 1776. A broken chain lies at her feet. The statue is an icon of freedom and of the United States: a welcoming signal to immigrants arriving from abroad. The torch-bearing arm was displayed at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, and in Madison Square Park in Manhattan from 1876 to

1882. The statue was constructed in France, shipped overseas in crates, and

assembled on the completed pedestal on what was then called Bedloe's Island.

3、Ebola virus disease, or simply EVD, is a disease of humans and

other primates caused by Ebola viruses. Signs and symptoms typically start

between two days and three weeks after contracting the virus with a fever, sore throat, muscular pain, and headaches. Then, vomiting, diarrhea and rash usually follow, along with decreased function of the liver and kidneys. At this time some

people begin to bleed both internally and externally. The disease has a high risk of death, killing between 25 and 90 percent of those infected, with an average of about 50 percent. Spread of the disease through the air between primates,

including humans, has not been documented in either laboratory or natural

conditions.Fruit bats are believed to be the normal carrier in nature, able to spread the virus without being affected by it. Other diseases such as malaria, cholera, typhoid fever, meningitis and other viral hemorrhagic fevers may resemble EVD.

4、Las Vegas is an internationally renowned major resort city known primarily for

gambling, shopping, fine dining and nightlife and is the leading financial and

cultural center for Southern Nevada, USA. Established in 1905, Las Vegas was incorporated as a city in 1911. The city bills itself as The Entertainment Capital of the World, and is famous for its mega casino–hotels and associated entertainment.

5、First aid is the assistance given to any person suffering a sudden

illness or injury, with care provided to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, and promote recovery. If the patient was breathing, a first aider would normally place them in the recovery position, with the patient leant over on their side, which also has the effect of clearing the tongue from the pharynx. It also avoids a common cause of death in unconscious patients, which is choking on regurgitated stomach contents. Once the airway has been opened, the first aider would assess to see if the patient is breathing. If there is no breathing, or the

patient is not breathing normally, such as agonal breathing, the first aider would undertake what is probably the most recognized first aid

procedure—cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR, which involves breathing for the patient, and manually massaging the heart to promote blood flow around the body.

6、Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, commonly known as CPR, is an emergency

procedure performed in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest. CPR involves chest compressions at least

5 cm deep and at a rate of at least 100 per minute in an effort to create artificial

circulation by manually pumping blood through the heart and thus the body. The rescuer may also provide breaths by either exhaling into the subject's mouth or nose or using a device that pushes air into the subject's lungs. This process of

externally providing ventilation is termed artificial respiration. CPR alone is

unlikely to restart the heart. Its main purpose is to restore partial flow of

oxygenated blood to the brain and heart. The objective is to delay tissue death and to extend the brief window of opportunity for a successful resuscitation without permanent brain damage.

7、Quantum of the Seas spent its inaugural 2014–2015 season sailing from Cape

Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey, United States, before repositioning to China in May 2015. Beginning late June 2015, the ship will sail three- to eight-night

The unique economy of Vatican City is supported financially by the sale of postage stamps and tourist mementos, fees for admission to museums, and the sale of publications. The name Vatican City was first used in the Lateran

Treaty, signed on 11 February 1929, which established the modern city-state. The name is taken from Vatican Hill, the geographic location of the state.

original height of the Pyramid was 146.5 m, but today it is only 137 m high, the

9 m that is missing is due to the theft of the fine quality white Tura limestone

covering, or casing stones, for construction in Cairo. It is still the tallest pyramid.
