内容正文:
As we all know, it is often a big challenge 1.to keep (keep) a balance between economic progress and the protection of heritage sites.In the 1950s,the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam to solve some 2.issues (issue),such as controlling floods and producing electricity.But the 3.proposal (propose) led to protests.Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that 4.were (be) an important part of Egypt's cultural heritage.After listening to the opinions of scientists and nearby citizens, the government turned 5.to the United Nations for help.
A committee, which 6.was established (establish) to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent them from 7.disappearing (disappear),asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the 8.global (globe) community.To avoid 9.the loss of those cultural relics, they investigated the issue carefully and conducted several tests.Finally, they decided to take them apart and rebuild them in a safe place.The attempt finally succeeded.This example not only shows the importance of working together 10.but tells it is worthwhile to preserve cultural relics.
