FROM PROBLEMS TO SOLUTIONS B2U1 Reading & Thinking 1.7.2013 大家好，欢迎来到今天的读思课。今天，我们将一起踏上一段思辨之旅，探讨一个深刻而永恒的话题：如何在发展与保护之间找到平衡。我们将通过一个真实的故事，学习如何将问题转化为解决方案，并理解国际合作的巨大力量。 ‹#› A Difficult Choice: Dam or Temple? If you had to choose only one — build the dam or save the temple — which would you choose? Why? 1.7.2013 请看屏幕上的这两张图片：一座宏伟的现代化大坝和一座古老的神庙。它们代表了进步与遗产这两种强大的力量。 现在，请大家分组讨论一分钟：如果你必须选择其一，你会选择建大坝还是拯救神庙？为什么？ 讨论结束后，请准备好分享你们的理由。 ‹#› Predicting From Problems to Solutions 1.7.2013 在阅读文章之前，让我们根据标题和这张图片来预测一下内容。你在图片中看到了什么？这张图的两部分有什么关系？这些雕像是哪里的？它们可能来自哪个国家或河流？根据这些线索，你认为文章中的“问题”会是什么？ ‹#› The " Problem-Solution" Structure 01. The Problem Para ____ big challenge, led to protests, would damage and destroy... 02. The Planning Process Para ______ 03. The Action Process Para ____ 04. Result & Significance Para ____ Match Paragraphs 1–6 with the 4 key parts, and underline the signal words/phrases that guide your judgment. raise funds; investigate; tests; proposal; and then; finally... move; rescue; donate; and then; in 1961; over the next 20 years ... end; a success; not only... but also...; spirit... 1&2 3 4 5&6 1.7.2013 为了更好地理解文章，我们来学习一个关键的阅读工具——“问题-解决”结构。它包含四个核心要素：问题、规划、行动和结果。现在，请大家默读课文五分钟，完成练习册上的表格，将1-6段与这四个部分匹配起来，并划出提示词。 ‹#› Para1 The General Problem 01 / what is the general problem It is the challenge of finding and keeping the right balance between the need for progress and the protection of cultural sites. Discuss: If the writer started directly with "Egypt wanted to build a dam in the 1950s", would it be better? 1.7.2013 现在我们来看文章的第一段。它提出了一个普遍性的问题：如何在发展与文化遗址保护之间找到并保持正确的平衡。文中提到“旧事物必须让位于新事物”，这是否意味着文化遗址必须为发展牺牲呢？当然不是，这是一个非常复杂的问题，也是我们这篇文章要探讨的核心。 ‹#› Para1 The General Problem Language Focus There comes a time when the old must give way to the new. If the author used ’sometimes’ instead of ‘there comes a time when”, how would the feeling be different? 1.7.2013 现在我们来看文章的第一段。它提出了一个普遍性的问题：如何在发展与文化遗址保护之间找到并保持正确的平衡。文中提到“旧事物必须让位于新事物”，这是否意味着文化遗址必须为发展牺牲呢？当然不是，这是一个非常复杂的问题，也是我们这篇文章要探讨的核心。 ‹#› Para2 The Specific Crisis in Egypt The proposed Aswan Dam would destroy precious temples and cultural relics. What was the government's response? They turned to the UN for help a transitional sentence If you were a UN leader, what would be your first move? 1.7.2013 Now we move to the specific crisis. In Egypt, the government's plan to build the Aswan Dam directly threatened priceless cultural relics. This created a huge conflict. Notice the crucial action the government took: they "turned to the United Nations for help." This sentence acts as a bridge, leading us to the next part of the story: the international response. ‹#› Para3 The Planning Stage Scan Para 3 and find all the action verbs a approach to problem-solving 01 Established a committee 02 Asked for contributions 03 Raised funds 04 Investigated the issue & Conducted tests 05 Made a proposal 06 Signed a document 1.7.2013 This paragraph details the planning stage. Look at the series of action verbs used: establish, investigate, conduct, make a proposal. This careful, step-by-step process demonstrates a scientific approach. It wasn't a hasty decision; it was a well-organized effort led by the international community, represented here by the United Nations. ‹#› Para4 The Action Stage How did they move the temples? "Taken down piece by piece" Slow Careful Respectful Compare:"The temples were taken down and moved" stone by stone; day by day; step by step... 1.7.2013 This is where the action happens. The phrase "piece by piece" beautifully captures the careful, painstaking nature of the work. But the real power of this paragraph comes from the numbers: 20 years, 50 countries, $80 million. These figures aren't just statistics; they tell a story of incredible perseverance, global unity, and the recognition that some heritage belongs to all of humanity. ‹#› 1.7.2013 This is where the action happens. The phrase "piece by piece" beautifully captures the careful, painstaking nature of the work. But the real power of this paragraph comes from the numbers: 20 years, 50 countries, $80 million. These figures aren't just statistics; they tell a story of incredible perseverance, global unity, and the recognition that some heritage belongs to all of humanity. ‹#› Para4 The Action Stage The Power of Numbers thousands of engineers and workers 50Nations 22Temples $80millions 20Years 1.7.2013 This is where the action happens. The phrase "piece by piece" beautifully captures the careful, painstaking nature of the work. But the real power of this paragraph comes from the numbers: 20 years, 50 countries, $80 million. These figures aren't just statistics; they tell a story of incredible perseverance, global unity, and the recognition that some heritage belongs to all of humanity. ‹#› Para4 The Action Stage Why would 50 countries spend so much money saving someone else's temples? Cultural heritage belongs to the whole world, not just one nation. 1.7.2013 This is where the action happens. The phrase "piece by piece" beautifully captures the careful, painstaking nature of the work. But the real power of this paragraph comes from the numbers: 20 years, 50 countries, $80 million. These figures aren't just statistics; they tell a story of incredible perseverance, global unity, and the recognition that some heritage belongs to all of humanity. ‹#› Paragraphs 5 The Result A Great SUCCESS Who is the "winner" ? A powerful sentence pattern Not only... But also A win-win game 1.7.2013 The final paragraphs describe the result and the lasting legacy. The project was a "great success," a true win-win. More importantly, it created what we can call the "Aswan Spirit"—a spirit of balance between progress and preservation, and a spirit of international cooperation. This spirit didn't end in 1980; it lives on through organizations like UNESCO, which continues this vital work today. ‹#› The Aswan Spirit The Spirit of ____________ found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past ‘run over’ VS ‘give way to’ The Spirit of _________________ learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to bulid a better tomorrow Balance Cooperation 1.7.2013 The Aswan project gave birth to what I call the "Aswan Spirit," which has two core ideas. First, the Spirit of Balance: the belief that we don't have to choose between progress and heritage; we can find a way to have both. Second, the Spirit of Cooperation: the understanding that some challenges are too big for one nation alone, and that by working together, we can achieve the impossible. ‹#› If the article ended here, we'd have a nice story about Egypt. But the author adds Para 6. Why? 1.7.2013 请看屏幕上的这两张图片：一座宏伟的现代化大坝和一座古老的神庙。它们代表了进步与遗产这两种强大的力量。 现在，请大家分组讨论一分钟：如果你必须选择其一，你会选择建大坝还是拯救神庙？为什么？ 讨论结束后，请准备好分享你们的理由。 ‹#› Para6 Living Legacy: THE "ASWAN SPIRIT" "Why should I care about a dam built 60 years ago?" GUARDIAN OF GLOBAL HERITAGE United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization ‘The spirit of Aswan Dam project is still alive today’ 1.7.2013 The final paragraphs describe the result and the lasting legacy. The project was a "great success," a true win-win. More importantly, it created what we can call the "Aswan Spirit"—a spirit of balance between progress and preservation, and a spirit of international cooperation. This spirit didn't end in 1980; it lives on through organizations like UNESCO, which continues this vital work today. ‹#› Critical Thinking: What is " Balance"? After reading the whole text, what do you think "balance" really mean? Do you think there is a PERFECT balance? Why or why not? Abu Simbel was built to greet the sunrise on Ramses II(拉美西斯二世)'s birthday. Each year, on the pharaoh's birthday and coronation day(登基日), the morning light would travel precisely through the 60-meter corridor and light up the statues inside. After the relocation, the sunlight now comes one day later. No Perfect Answer Continuous Effort Best Possible Choice 1.7.2013 现在，让我们进行批判性思考。文中提到的“平衡”到底意味着什么？它是一种50对50的妥协吗？存在完美的平衡吗？ 大家可以从这三个角度展开讨论： 第一，是否存在“完美平衡”？或许在任何选择背后，都存在着我们看不见的隐性损失。 第二，在特定情境下的“最佳平衡”。这代表着在当下的环境中，我们做出了尽可能好的选择。 第三，将“平衡”视为一个方向。它不是一个静止的终点，而是我们在生活中需要持续努力、不断趋近的动态过程。 ‹#› Writing Transfer: A Gaokao-style Suggestion Letter 假定你是李华。你所在的城市有一个历史街区（historic district），政府计划将其改造成商业中心（commercial center），过程中会拆除一些老房子。请你给当地政府写一封建议信。 Task Write the "Specific Suggestions" paragraph (3-5 sentences). Think Before Writing In group of four, list principles from the Aswan story that could guide this situation. e.g. Investigate First 1.7.2013 学习了阿斯旺项目的经验，现在我们来进行写作迁移。请大家想象自己是李华，给市政府写一封建议信，就如何改造历史街区提出具体建议。 你可以运用我们从课文中学到的四大核心原则来构思你的建议： 第一，Investigate first，先做调查，评估老建筑的价值。 第二，Find a creative balance，寻求创意平衡，让商业开发与文化遗产保护共存。 第三，Cooperate，广泛合作，听取专家和市民的意见。 第四，Preserve carefully，谨慎保护，如需搬迁也要科学细致地进行。 请大家在接下来的15分钟内，只写出“具体建议”这一个核心段落，控制在3到5句话。 ‹#› Writing Transfer: Principles from Aswan Use these principles to shape your suggestions for sustainable development: 01. Investigate First Don't rush into action. Take time to assess what is truly valuable to the community and history. Key Partners: Historians, architects, and local residents. 02. Document and Preserve If relocation is unavoidable, ensure it is done with the utmost care and respect for the past. Method: Take detailed photos and create official records. Start your own writing: 5 minutes 1.7.2013 To help you structure your letter, here are four key principles from the Aswan story that you can apply. First, investigate before acting. Second, find a creative balance that allows for both development and preservation. Third, seek cooperation from all stakeholders. And fourth, if changes are necessary, ensure they are done carefully and with proper documentation. ‹#› One Possible Sample First, the city should invite historians and architects to assess which old houses truly carry historical value. Then, instead of tearing everything down, we can preserve those with the richest stories and integrate them into the design of the new commercial center. Not only will this approach protect our cultural roots, but it will also give the shopping area a unique character... Uses First... Then... Not only... but also...to establish a clear, logical argument structure. Applies the core principle: "Investigate first, then find a creative balance" between old and new. 1.7.2013 Let's analyze two sample paragraphs. The first one uses clear linking words and applies the principles of investigation and creative balance. The second one uses a powerful tone similar to the original text and directly references the Aswan project, showing a deep understanding of the lesson's core ideas. These are excellent examples of how to transfer your learning into writing. ‹#› Thank You THANKS FOR LISTENING 1.7.2013 今天的课程到此结束，感谢大家的参与。希望通过今天的学习，大家不仅提高了英语阅读能力，更能对发展与保护的议题有更深的理解。谢谢！ ‹#› $
