62、8 + 70 words19版译林选必三Unit 4 Protecting our heritage sitesWe often hear about the importance of cultural heritage. But what is cultural heritage and why is it important? First of all, lets have a look at the meaning of the words. “Heritage” is a property, something that is inherited, passed down from

63、previous generations. In the case of “cultural heritage,” the heritage doesnt consist of money or property, but of culture, values and traditions. Cultural heritage implies a shared bond, our belonging to a community. It represents our history and our identity; our bond to the past, to our present,

64、and the future.Cultural heritage often brings to mind artifacts (paintings, drawings, prints, mosaics, sculptures), historical monuments and buildings, as well as archaeological sites. But the concept of cultural heritage is even wider than that, and has gradually grown to include all evidence of hu

65、man creativity and expression: photographs, documents, books and manuscripts, and instruments, etc. either as individual objects or as collections. Today, towns, underwater heritage, and the natural environment are also considered part of cultural heritage since communities identify themselves with

66、the natural landscape.Moreover, cultural heritage is not only limited to material objects that we can see and touch. It also consists of immaterial elements: traditions, oral history, performing arts, social practices, traditional craftsmanship, representations, rituals, knowledge and skills transmi

67、tted from generation to generation within a community.But cultural heritage is not just a set of cultural objects or traditions from the past. It is also the result of a selection process: a process of memory and forgetfulness that characterizes every human society constantly engaged in choosing for

68、 both cultural and political reasons what is worthy of being preserved for future generations and what is not.All peoples make their contribution to the culture of the world. Thats why its important to respect and safeguard all cultural heritage, through national laws and international treaties. Ill

69、icit trafficking of artifacts and cultural objects, pillaging of archaeological sites, and destruction of historical buildings and monuments cause irreparable damage to the cultural heritage of a country. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), founded in 1946, has

70、 adopted international conventions on the protection of cultural heritage, to foster intercultural understanding while stressing the importance of international cooperation.原材料出处：https:/www.khanacademy.org/humanities/special-topics-art-history/arches-at-risk-cultural-heritage-education-series/arches

87、 music, our food, our traditions. Its about places, people and histories that are important to you. Its everywhere. You can touch it, see it, hear it, and speak about it. Its as old as humankind, and it is also being created all the time. And it means different things to different people. How people

88、 value heritage can also change with time. A great example is Edinburghs New Town, which is now an internationally known World Heritage Site, but was considered ugly when it was first built.It helps us to understand who we are and who we are not. What we consider important in our past can help us to feel connected. A community, brought together by a place, a language, or a shared past, might feel closer to each other through their histories. Heritage reflects different viewpoints across cultures and generations. Its key to local distinctiveness and identity.
