普通高中课程标准实验教科书 英语必修2 Unit1 Cultural relics-R

 His friends and family call him "Big Feng" because he is very tall and played basketball as¹ a young man. But he is also big in a different way- he fights² hard to protect³ China's past. His real⁴ name is Feng Jicai and he has written many novels⁵ about life⁶ in China. Several⁷ years ago, however⁸, he put down his pen for a while⁹ and began to protect the cultural¹⁰ relics¹¹ in Tianjin, where he lives. Once someone¹² asked him why he no longer wrote¹³. He replied¹⁴ that at the moment he felt protecting¹⁵ cultural relics was¹⁶ more important¹⁷.

      Feng loves his hometown¹⁸. He believes¹⁹ that old things must be given²⁰ a place next to new things, or people will soon forget their great past. He does not make speeches²¹ to get others²² to help him in his projects²⁴. Instead²⁵ he goes out and does what he can himself²⁶. If others follow him, so much the better. One of his biggest projects was to protect the oldest street in Tianjin. Along²⁷ that street some shops had²⁸ done business²⁹ for seven hundred years. Although³⁰ the city government³¹ rebuilt³² this street, they did³⁴ save³⁵ its oldest building. Another project²³ was more successful³⁶: he persuaded³⁷ the city government to buy some land³⁸ in the centre³⁹ of the city so it could⁴⁰ not be sold⁴¹ for businesses⁴². This area⁴³ is very important for the history of Tianjin. It was here that the city was first built³³ during⁴⁴ the Song Dynasty⁴⁵. Later⁴⁶ many treasures⁴⁷ were found⁴⁸ here.

     To Feng, digging⁴⁹ down into the earth⁵⁰ is like reading⁵¹ page after page of a book. Each dynasty found in the earth is like an interesting story. Not long ago he and other writers⁵² and artists⁵³ took⁵⁴ photos of the old parts⁵⁵ of Tianjin. The photos were put into a book which was very popular⁵⁶. The money from the book helps his projects. Once, an old man asked Feng to sign the book for him, saying⁵⁷ he would⁵⁸ give it to his grandson⁵⁹ who was not yet⁶⁰ born⁶¹. Feng was glad to do it - he knows that the past is not only for us to enjoy but also for the children of the future⁶².
