Economic development is necessary if we want to improve society. _____________ ________________________ (新舊更替的時代已經到來), and it is not possible to __________________________(將過去的一切保存) as we move towards the future. In this case,___________________________________ (尋找恰當的平衡點，并加以保持) between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.
社會進步需要經濟發展。新舊更替的時代已經到來，在走向未來的過程中，我們不可能將過去的一切都保存下來。在發展與文化遺址保護之間找到恰當的平衡點，并加以保持，這可能是一項巨大的挑戰。
Big challenges, however, can sometimes (帶來，導致) great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to (防洪、發電并供水) to more farmers in the area. But the （提案） led to （抗議）. Water from the dam would _____________(很可能) damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that ____________________ (是...的重要組成部分)Egypt’s cultural heritage.. After listening to the scientists who had studied the problem, and citizens who lived near the dam, the government ______________(向...求助) the United Nations for help in 1959.
然而，巨大的挑戰有時會帶來偉大的解決方案。20世紀50年代，埃及政府打算在尼羅河上新建一座大壩，可以防洪、發電并為該地區更多的農民供水。但是，該提議引發了抗議。因為大壩泄流很可能會損壞許多寺廟，摧毀一批文物，而這些文物是埃及文化遺產的重要組成部分。在聽取了研究該問題的科學家以及大壩附近居民的意見后，政府于1959年向聯合國求助。
A________(委員會）was _______ (建立) to _____ (限制) damage to the Egyptian buildings and ____________________(防止...的損失) cultural relics. The group asked for___________ __________ (各部門予以支持) and _______ ______(籌集資金) within the international community, Experts (調查研究)， (進行） several tests, and then for how the buildings could be saved.(提出建議). Finally, a ___________(文件)was signed, and the work began in 1960.
委員會成立了，旨在減少對那些建筑物的破壞，并防止文物損失。該委員會請求各個部門予以支持，并在國際范圍內籌集資金。專家們經過調查研究，多次試驗，提出了一個保住那些建筑的方案。最終，（埃及政府）簽署了一份文件，于1960年開始動工。
The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other cultural sites were （拆除）piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water. In 1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescued 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries _________ nearly $80 million ______ (向...捐款) the project.
該項目集聚了來自世界各地的政府機構和環保人士。人們將寺廟和其他文化遺址逐塊拆解，運至一個不受河水侵襲的安全地帶，再按原樣復原。1961年，德國工程師搬遷了第一座寺廟。在隨后的二十年里，數千名工程師和工人拯救了22座寺廟和不計其數的文物。50個國家向該項目捐贈了近8千萬美元。
When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the country found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.
1980年該項目完工時，被視為一個巨大的成功。這些國家不僅找到了一條不以犧牲古跡為代價的未來發展之路，而且明白了多個國家合作創造美好未來的可能性。
The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still _______ today. Perhaps the best example is shown by UNESCO, which runs a programme that prevents world cultural heritage sites around the world from （消失）. If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the global community can sometimes provide a solution.
阿斯旺大壩工程的精神今日尚存。能體現這種精神的最好的例子或許就是聯合國教科文組織；該組織有一項計劃，旨在防止全球各地世界文化遺產的消失。如果一個問題對某一個國家來說難度太大，那么國際社會有時可為其提供一個解決方案。

On the in front of us, we can just a herd of graceful animals. This is why we’re here—to Tibetan antelopes.空氣很稀薄，我們不得不在離開營地的短途徒步旅行中休息多次。在我們的左方，白雪皚皚的群山消失在似乎觸手可及的云層中。放眼平原，我們隱約看到一群體形優美的動物。這就是我們來到此地的原因——觀察藏羚羊。

藏羚羊生活在西藏、新疆和青海的平原上。看著它們在綠色的草地上緩慢移動。我被其美麗所震撼，也想到了它們所處的險境。因其珍貴的羊毛，它們正遭受非法獵殺。

我的導游扎西是一位來自羌塘的村民。他在羌塘國家自然保護區工作。該保護區是西藏西北部動植物的庇護所。對于扎西來說，這片土地是神圣的，保護野生動植物是一種生活方式。“我們不是在試圖拯救動物。”他說道，“其實我們是在努力拯救自己。”
The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were antelopes to . Their habitats were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.
上個世紀八九十年代對于藏羚羊來說是一個悲慘的時代。藏羚羊數量減少了50％以上。獵人們為了謀利而射殺藏羚羊。隨著新公路和鐵路的修建，它們的棲息地也不斷縮小。
In order to save this from , the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from . Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.

The measures were . The antelope population has and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was the endangered species list. The government, however, does not to stop the protection programmes, since the to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.
這些措施是有效的。藏羚羊的數量已經恢復，2015年6月，藏羚羊從瀕危物種名單中刪除。然而，政府并沒有打算停止這些保護項目，因為對藏羚羊的威脅尚未消失。
In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to exist nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.
夜晚時分，我喝著茶，仰望星空。心里想起藏羚羊和扎西對我說的那番話。在野生動物保護方面盡管我們正在做大量工作，但是如果我們真的想拯救地球，就必須改變我們自己的生活方式。只有學會與大自然和諧相處，我們才不會成為野生動植物和地球的威脅。

With music, I become someone else.”想象一下，獨自在家時，你可以與數百人一起引吭高歌。虛擬合唱團能夠讓你的想象成為現實。虛擬合唱團的成員們把各自的歌唱視頻錄制下來，上傳到互聯網上，然后這些視頻被合并成一個你可以在線觀看的視頻——虛擬大合唱。任何人，無論身處何地，都可以參加虛擬合唱團——你只需要是一臺攝像機，并且能夠上網。你連錄音棚都不需要。虛擬合唱團將普通人聯系起來。許多人沒有親密的朋友，也沒有志趣相投的私交，還有許多人沒有機會參加當地的合唱團。虛擬合唱團讓他們能夠與其他人一起歡歌，成為全球社區的一部分。事實證明，虛擬合唱團對許多人的生活產生了積極的影響。正如一位虛擬合唱團成員所說：“音樂幫助我……忘記自己的煩惱。音樂，讓我脫胎換骨。”
The virtual choir was the idea of award-winning composer and ____________(conduct) Eric Whitacre. Born in the USA on 2 January 1970, Whitacre began studying music at the University of Nevada in 1988.

This _______ ______(導致）the ___________(create) of the virtual choir.虛擬合唱團是屢獲殊榮的作曲家兼指揮埃里克·惠塔克的創意。惠塔克于1970年1月2日出生在美國，1988年開始進入內華達大學學習音樂。當大學合唱團期間，他愛上了莫扎特的古典音樂。他被這段音樂打動了，他說：“那種(興奮的)感覺就如同第一次看見色彩一樣。”他于1995年大學畢業，隨后于1997年獲得紐約茱莉亞音樂學院音樂創作碩士學位。在接下來的十多年里，惠塔克的原創作品深受合唱團和歌手中的歡迎，這促使了虛擬合唱團的創建。
In 2009, Whitacre received a video of a girl who was singing one of his works. __________(inspire), he asked his fans to make videos, _________ he then joined together into one performance. His first virtual choir, “Lux Aurumque”, had 185 singers from 12 different countries. It has received millions of views on the Internet. Since then, the virtual choir______________(become) ____ worldwide phenomenon.

Altogether, 2,292 young people from 80 countries _____________(加入） to sing Whitacre’s song “What If”.2009年，惠塔克收到了一個女孩演唱他創作的一部作品的視頻。受此啟發，惠塔克邀請歌迷們錄制視頻，然后他把這些視頻拼接成一場演出。他創辦的首個虛擬合唱團“金色之光”擁有來自12個不同國家的185位歌手。該合唱團在互聯網上的點擊量已超過百萬次。自此，虛擬合唱團風靡全球。惠塔克的第二個壯舉是打造聯合國兒童基金會“虛擬青年合唱團”，該團于2014年7月23日在英國首次登臺亮相，總共有來自80個國家的2292名青年參與演唱惠塔克的歌曲《假如》。
The virtual choir is a wonderful way for people around the world _________(sing) with one voice and thus make the world ____ better place.虛擬合唱團提供一種絕妙的方式，讓世界各地的人們能夠同聲歌唱，世界因此變得更加美好。

世界各地都慶祝各種節日。節日的由來五花八門，比如時節、宗教、著名人物及重要事件。每個節日都有其不同的習俗和獨特的魅力。然而，無論它們多么迥異，在世界各地，分享快樂、感恩、友愛或和平的精神存在于所有節日之中。

在所有的傳統節日中，豐收節幾乎可見于每一種文化之中。這一重大的農業節日在所有農作物收成后來臨。人們舉行慶祝活動，對這一年收獲的食物表達感恩。在古埃及，人們于春季慶祝豐收節——即埃及的豐收季。慶祝活動主要是游行和豐盛的筵席，載歌載舞，并伴有體育活動。如今，在一些歐洲國家，人們用鮮花和水果來裝飾教堂和市政廳，聚在一起共享大餐，以示慶祝。在中國的中秋節，家家戶戶歡聚一堂，觀賞明月，品嘗美味的月餅。

風俗在節日中扮演重要角色，但有時也隨時間而變化。隨著現代社會的發展和新思想的傳播，有些傳統會漸漸消失，而另一些傳統則得以建立。中國春節燃放鞭炮以驅鬼神、賀新年這一典型風俗就是一個例子。如今，為了避免空氣污染，許多大城市已經摒棄了這一風俗。另一個例子是萬圣節，雖然起源于宗教，萬圣節漸漸成了孩子們縱情玩樂的一個節日。

節日正變得越來越商業化，商家會利用這些慶祝活動(進行促銷)。購物網站和社交媒體應用程序極大地方便了人們為至親至愛花更多錢購買禮物。盡管有人認為節日不應該被商業化，但是也有人認為消費增長有利于(提高)經濟和公眾幸福感。

林巧稚五歲時母親病故，這對她影響極大。十八歲時，她沒有像大多數的女孩那樣走上婚姻這一傳統道路，而是選擇了學醫。“女孩子讀那么多書干嘛？找個好丈夫才是她們的歸宿!”她的兄弟一想到高昂的學費就這么抱怨。她回答：“我寧愿一輩子不嫁人，也要學醫！”
Eight years later, Lin Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) with the Wehai , the highest prize given to graduates. She immediately became the first woman ever as a resident . in the OB-GYN department of the PUMC Hospital.

八年后，林巧稚畢業于北京協和醫學院，并獲得了該校畢業生的最高榮譽獎——“文海”獎學金。她隨即成為北京協和醫學院婦產科有史以來第一位被聘為住院醫師的女性。不到六個月，她就成了住院主任醫師，而升任這一職位通常需要四年時間。工作了幾年之后，她被派往歐洲學習，之后于1939年又赴美學習。美國同行對她印象極佳，邀請她留下。但是，林醫生謝絕了邀請。她希望服務祖國的婦女和兒童。
In 1941, Dr Lin became the first Chinese woman ever to be appointed director of the OB-GYN department of the PUMC Hospital, but just a few months later, the department was closed because of the war. Thinking of all the people still in need of help, Dr Lin opened a private .. She charged very low fees to treat patients and often reduced costs for poor patients. At times she was even seen riding a donkey to faraway villages to provide medical care.
1941年，林醫生成為北京協和醫院婦產科的首位中國籍女主任，但是僅僅數月之后，婦產科就因為戰爭而關閉。想到還有那么多人需要幫助，林醫生開辦了一間私人診所。她向病人收取的治療費用極低，而且經常為窮苦病人減免費用。有時，人們甚至會看到她騎著毛驢去偏遠的鄉村給人看病。

中華人民共和國成立后，林巧稚醫生發揮了更大的作用。1954年，她當選第一屆全國人大代表；在隨后的幾十年間，她擔任許多重要職位。然而，她的心卻在別處。她更感興趣的是治病救人、發表婦幼護理醫學研究成果、培養下一代的醫生。“婦產科救治的是母嬰兩條生命,”她對科室的新入職的醫務人員說道，“作為醫生，我們必須對患者負責，視她們如姐妹。”
Though Lin Qiaozhi never married, she the “mother of ten thousand babies”, having delivered over 50,000 babies in her lifetime. Dr Lin did not . until the day she died, 22 April 1983.

雖然林巧稚終身未婚，但是她被稱為“萬嬰之母”，她一生中親手接生的嬰兒有五萬多名。林醫生堅守在崗位上，直到1983年4月22日她去世的那一天。由于自己沒有孩子，她把積蓄捐給了一家幼兒園和一項新醫生基金。臨終時，她仍在為別人著想。“我要走了，”她說，“不要再搶救了，不要再浪費藥品了。”

我在紅木森林露營并參觀了葡萄酒之鄉納帕谷后，今天是我回到舊金山的第一天。我不得不承認，再次回到這個城市的感覺確實很好。多好的一個城市啊——一座在1906年地震后能夠自我重建的城市。有許多美麗的老建筑——許多都坐落在大山頂上，從那里可以看到城市、大海和金門橋的美景。

我住的酒店位于市中心附近的教會區，這是城市最古老的地區之一。居住在這里的許多人來自墨西哥或中美洲。這個地區過去是城鎮的貧民區，但現在成了藝術、音樂和飲食中心。事實上，一場名為“教會學校”的藝術運動就是從這里開始的。它受到涂鴉藝術和漫畫藝術的影響。數個小時里我漫步大街，欣賞街頭藝術。這里很現代，很熱鬧。之后，我從一輛餐車上買一些美味的墨西哥中式面條吃了。這里是真正的文化融合！

下午，我去了當地一家展示加利福尼亞歷史變遷的博物館。我了解到美國在1848年從墨西哥那里奪得加利福尼亞。同年，在舊金山附近發現了黃金，引發了淘金熱。30多萬人從世界各地前來尋找他們的成功致富之路，舊金山很快就成了一座大城市。許多中國人在這個時期來到這里。為了謀生，一些人在唐人街開了商店和餐館。還有許多人在農場找到工作，加入淘金熱，或者去修建連接加利福尼亞和美國東部地區的鐵路。博物館確實很好地展示了美國是如何由來自不同國家和文化的移民建立起來的。當這些移民離開他們的國家時，他們心中帶著一點家的感覺，在這里建立了一個新家。

今天那就足夠了。明天晚上，我要去里士滿區的一家爵士樂酒吧。等不及了！
