Cultural relics

Cultural relics in China

众所周知，文化遗产属于全世界。现在，越来越多的人对如何保护文化遗产感兴趣。文化遗产也已成为当今中国的热门话题。

As we all know，cultural relics belong to the people all over the world.Nowadays，more and more people are interested in the topic about how to protect cultural relics. Cultural relics also have begun to be a hot topic in China today as the balance between developing the nation and retaining

traditional culture must be found.This can be seen in the public's hope to rebuild places of interest.This can be seen in Beijing as traditional courtyards

are removed

to make way for large，modern buildings. As people gain more money and are able to move around freely in China，they want to protect the relics of their cultural past.People now wish to protect traditional architecture like old city walls instead of knocking them down.Some even wish to rebuild those that have been torn down. The Chinese people are renewing their interests in the folk arts and are devoted to new culture exhibitions in order to educate people on their grand heritage(遗产)．This is not just a domestic idea.Chinese culture is also spreading abroad as people express an interest in China.Chinese studies abroad have increased a great deal as China

becomes more of a growing economic and international player.The interest in Chinese relics abroad is also high because foreigners are coming to appreciate Chinese culture. 词海拾贝

Ⅳ.阅读理解

A

If Confucius(孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles.He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day，few people in the United States will give him a passing thought.It's nothing personal.Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius.In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades，the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities.More recently，the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries.These schools teach both Chinese language and culture.The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art，history and philosophy.Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy.Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese.So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States.Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker，he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West，even if his birthday is.
