20. Listening on Page 121 • Why is it important to protect cultural relics? • Reasons mentioned on the tape include: cultural relics help us understand how people lived in the past; protecting our cultural

21. relics is a way to help protect our history; cultural relics can help us understand who we are and where we come from.

22. 2. Why is it difficult to find out how people lived in the ancient times? It is difficult to find out how people lived thousands of years ago, because most of the things we use in everyday life do not survive or last. Things made of cloth, paper, wood, etc. will not be around after a thousand years.

23. 3. What do we know about life in ancient Egypt? We know that the ancient Egyptians lived in houses made of bricks, that ancient Egyptian women wore make-up, and that most people slept on wooden beds.

24. 4. Why do we know so much about the way the ancient Egyptians lived? We know a lot about how the ancient Egyptians lived because they put everyday objects in the tombs of important people. The tombs were locked and hid-den and the things inside were well kept over thousands of years.

25. 5. What do you think we can do to protect our cultural relics? Various answers are possible. Things made of materials that deteriorate over time will not be available to future generations, so things like books and clothes may not survive. It will probably be difficult for future generations to

26. understand the way we think and what our life was really like. You can ask the students to try to imagine what it was like to be a teenager five hundred years ago. What we can do ( and sometimes ) to help future generations understand us is to bury “culture capsules” that future generations can

27. use to learn more about us. You can use the information in the unit or from newspapers/ TV to remind the students of what’s being done today. The reading below is an example of one solution.

28. Listening text Why is it so important to protect cultural relics? Well, one reason is that cultural relics can hope us understand how people lived in the past. However, it isn’t always easy to know what life was like. Most of the things we use

29. today — sneakers, backpacks, chairs — won’t be here a thousand years from now. That means people in the future will only be able to find some everyday objects. We have the same problem. Of course. When we try to learn about the past. We can only see the things that

30. survived time and the weather. The things we do find from the past can tell us something about everyday life in ancient times. In some cases, more relics are saved than usual. In Egypt, for example, important people were buried in large

31. tombs in which they put lots of everyday objects. Because the tombs were locked and hidden, the things inside were well kept over thousands of years. Thanks to this, we know that the ancient Egyptians lived in houses made of bricks, that ancient Egyptian women wore make-up,

32. and that most people slept on wooden beds. The objects can give us an idea of how people lived and how they probably thought. Protecting our cultural relics is an important task and we should take it seriously. We are protecting our history

33. and knowledge so that people in the future will know and enjoy it. We are also helping ourselves and our children to better understand who we are and where we come from. This is why we in China are trying so hard to protect our cultural relics.
