[00:-1.00]Listen to the description of the three cultural sites.
[00:-2.00]Complete the map of each site based on what you hear on the tape.
[00:-3.00]List the names and the importance of the sites,
[00:-4.00]and what is being done to protect them.
[00:-5.00]The Winter Palace Why is it important?
[00:-6.00]This site is important because it tells us about how people lived in the past.
[00:-7.00]What is being done to proteet it?
[00:-8.00]Instead,they can walk around the house and look at the park behind the house.
[00:-9.00]There is also a small mueum,
[00:10.00]where visitors can look at pictures of the inside of the house.
[00:11.00]The Sunshine Temple
[00:12.00]Then temple is an important part of our history;
[00:13.00]many important things happened here,
[00:14.00]and many poems have been written about the temple.
[00:15.00]We are trying to save the temple by building a wall between the things in the temple
[00:16.00]to the new mueum that is being built between the mountain and the village.
[00:17.00]3 Name of the site Mt Lu Shan
[00:18.00]Why is it important?
[00:19.00]The mountain is an important of China's history
[00:20.00]and many important people have been here.
[00:21.00]What is being done to protect it ?
[00:22.00]We are trying to limit the number of cars on the mountain and we try to use more buses.
[00:23.00]Besides chopstieks,a doll,a map,some tools,paintings and a greeting card
[00:24.00]try to think up something different to put into the culture capsule.
[00:25.00]I've just thought up an invaluable or priceless antique,
[00:26.00]which was made during the Warring States period (475-221 BC).
[00:27.00]I chose to put it into the culture capsule
[00:28.00]mainly because it best represents Chinese culture.
[00:29.00]The material, out of which this valuable object is made,
[00:30.00]probably includes several kinds of metal,
[00:31.00]which was first found in China.
[00:32.00]They are silver,gold,copper(Cu) or bronze,or brass,and tin (Sn)
[00:33.00]which were first found and made use of in China.
[00:34.00]Its design also best stands for Chinese culture.
[00:35.00]What do you think this antique looks like?
[00:36.00]I think it looks like an animal,
[00:37.00]one that was found in China many years ago.
[00:38.00]What animal is it? Well, it's hard to say.
[00:39.00]It looks like a lion sitting in front of a house as an entrance guard.
[00:40.00]But it also looks like a tiger with several pairs of large eyes on the head,
[00:41.00]on the side and even on the back.
[00:42.00]And if you watch carefully itsshining brightness and its golden curves and silver circles
[00:43.00]you simply can't help imagining you are standing before a golden dragon,
[00:44.00]the imaginary animal of ancient China,
[00:45.00]which stands for the grandness and power of emperors and kings |
