The Museum of Chinese Australian History in the heart of Melbourne's Chinatown is not only a landmark but also a place 【小题1】 Chinese from near and far can know about their heritage and perhaps even their ancestry.

The museum, a kilometer or so north of the Yara River, has a collection of more than 8, 000 exhibits 【小题2】(reflect) Chinese Australian heritage, including an English phrase book dating back to 1857. The phrase book, 【小题3】(translate) into Mandarin and Cantonese, shows how to communicate in a range of situations across 【小题4】 language divide, helping immigrants find their way in Australia, says Mark Wang, CEO of the museum.

Wang, one of those who 【小题5】 (attend) the museum's opening ceremony in 1985, is a descendant of Chinese gold rush 【小题6】 (prospector) who came to Australia to seek their fortune between 1851 and the late 1860s. “The core value of the museum is to build a 【小题7】 (harmony) society for all the people who have Chinese ancestry in their lineage (血脉) or anyone hoping to be a part of the society,” Wang says.

Many of the museum's visitors take part in conferences held 【小题8】 (regular), trying to find out something about their ancestors, he says.

One visitor says: “I'm Vietnamese Australian 【小题9】 have a Chinese lineage from my grandfather's side. I've never been to China, so whenever a traditional festival comes, I join in those traditional practices. It makes me feel closer 【小题10】 my grandfather.”

The Mogao Grottoes contain 735 caves full of Buddhist art. More than I million visitors 【小题1】 (attract)to Dunhuang every year. Among the many beautiful works of art in these caves, the numerous paintings on the walls of the caves have inspired the 【小题2】 (imagine)of people around the world. 【小题3】 (realize)their fascination(魅力), a group of young artists have recently made efforts to turn these large paintings into portable(便携式的)works of art.

Qin Yueyu has recently made a name 【小题4】 herself after she posted her graduation work on Chinese social media. The work 【小题5】 (faithful)recreates a well-known classic Tang Dynasty fresco (壁画)The Samanta Bhadra Story in Dunhuang. “ 【小题6】 (tradition)frescoes are fixed on cave walls, but we used the knowledge from our major 【小题7】 (turn)the fresco into a portable work of art. I plan to continue down this path,” Qin said. People like Qin feel 【小题8】 important to protect ancient culture.

The Mogao Grottoes are the heart of 【小题9】 is known as Dunhuang studies. Data from the Dunhuang Academy shows that the number of tourists to the grottoes 【小题10】 (increase) greatly over the past several years. And the majority of the visitors are young people.

Here is an example about how to find and keep the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile so as to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. 【小题1】, the proposal led to protests, because it would be likely damage Egypt’s cultural heritage like temples and cultural 【小题2】(relic) by water from the dam. After listening to the scientists 【小题3】(study) the problem, and citizens near the dam, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959. Then a committee was established, 【小题4】 limited damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevented the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contributions from different departments 【小题5】 raised funds within the international community. With the 【小题6】(investigate) and several tests, experts made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved. Finally, with a document 【小题7】(sign), the work began in 1960, bringing together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a safe place away from water. A year later, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescued 22 temples and 【小题8】(count) cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $ 80 million to the project. When the project ended in 1980, it was considered 【小题9】 great success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learned that it was possible for countries to work 【小题10】(joint) to build a better tomorrow.
