   Raised in Bengaluru, Meera Iyer has spent over a decade of her life discovering and restoring the city’s unexplored heritage buildings. The key moment came when she paid a visit to Devanahalli Fort. “It was shocking that many residents of the city were unaware of the presence of heritage buildings,” Meera says. “That realization became the catalyst for me to join INTACH (Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage).”

   Speaking on the topic of what truly makes up history in the eyes of people, Meera comments, “There are thousands of monuments (历史遗迹) in the country protected by ASI (Archaeological Survey of India). However, there are small temples, buildings, schools, and homes that also hold historical significance. The challenge lies in protecting them. I understand that it’s not practical to protect every fragment (碎片) of the past, but there must be a way to document and raise awareness about these sites, so that more of our history can be maintained.”

   To deal with the challenge, INTACH hosts heritage walks. The walks mainly focus on the local community and are targeted at the citizens of the city. “While we do welcome tourists and travellers, our emphasis is on engaging the local population,” says Meera. The group has organized hundreds of heritage walks in the local language to reach the goal. The organization also works on the protection of historical buildings. In the past years, it has restored several buildings in and around Bengaluru.

   Talking about the future, Meera says, “We face a number of issues, with funding being the major problem. However, my end goal is to find myself without a job. In such a desirable state, heritage is fully protected, and the community as a whole is deeply involved in its protection. While the realization of this goal may be uncertain and not immediate, it remains a significant career.”

24．What does the underlined word “catalyst” in Paragraph I probably mean?

 A．Tool. B．Reason. C．Purpose. D．Disadvantage.

25．What aspect of cultural protection does Meera call for?

 A．Education about national heroes. B．Restoration of typical monuments.

 C．Attention to varied types of heritage. D．Management of historical documents.

26．What does INTACH try to achieve through heritage walks?

 A．To familiarize people with local heritage. B．To explore new uses of the city heritage.
