Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?
Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two examples from the list of "101 things not to do":
Swim with Dolphins (海豚)?
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world's most profitable tourist activities. However, every
dolphin will welcome having their busy ,tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming pushing around them
in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get
caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨).
Here's a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they're just opening mouths.

     Go to See the Mona Lisa?
There must be something about the mysterious (神秘的) smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady
in the Louvre every year can't all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of
you, holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact,it is hard for you to see the
painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many
tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn't just be smiling, she'd laughing.
