Reading Para.1
Lanzhou, 9 August 2017. A group of researchers and scientists from China and other countries are working together to help increase knowledge and appreciation of China’s ancient cultural heritage. They are recording and collecting digital images of cultural relics from the Mogao Caves, which were a key stop along the Silk Road throughout China’s ancient history. Nearly 500,000 high-quality digital photographs have been produced since the international project started in 1994.

Reading the body (Para.2)
The Mogao Caves have long been a meeting point for different cultures and are part of the history of many countries. Today, the caves are just as international as they were at the time when people travelled the Silk Road. Tourists from all over the world visit Dunhuang to see the caves, and the Getty Museum in Los Angeles has even reproduced a copy of the caves and paintings for people to admire in America.

multicultural and international
By sharing so many digital photos over the Internet, the group hopes to promote even wider interest around the world in China’s ancient history, culture, and traditions. They also hope to further educate people about the importance of safeguarding historic and cultural relics for future generations to understand and appreciate. As one researcher who is working on the project explains, “Appreciating one’s own cultural heritage is very important for understanding oneself. Appreciating the cultural heritage of other countries is very important for international communication and understanding.”

新闻报道+保护文化遗产
为了提高学生传承非物质文化遗产的意识(inherit intangible cultural heritage),11月20日,我校在图书馆举办了一个剪纸展览。
有很多学生都参加了。
在这个展览里,我们不仅可以看到各种各样的剪纸作品,而且我们有机会和著名的艺术家进行面对面交流(not only. . .but also. . . 倒装句)。而且,我们还体验了剪纸的过程,这给我们留下了深刻印象(which引导非限制性定语从句)。

A Chinese Paper-cutting Exhibition
In order to raise students’ awareness of inheriting intangible cultural heritage, a Chinese paper-cutting exhibition was held in our school library on November 20th. Many students participated in it.
At the exhibiion, not only did we enjoy various kinds of Chinese paper-cuttings, but also we had a chance to communicate with some famous artists face to face. What’s more, we experienced the process of creating Chinese paper-cuttings, which made a deep impression on us.
Thanks to this meaningful activity, we were aware of our responsibilities to inherit intangible cultural heritage.

Polish the writing
Preserving cultural heritage through photos
Chen Lei is a senior teacher who takes photos of old buildings in Wuhan in order to preserve the city's culture heritage.
Every day, Chen Lei takes his camera and walks patiently through the older parts of the city. Over the years he has taken thousands of pictures of old buildings to create a record for his fellow citizens in the present and future. Besides, he interviewed over 50 old people to write stories about the old buildings. When he is free, he visits schools to tell students about the ways of preserving the cultural heritage. He said: “The old buildings are alive legacy to date back to the ancient ages and pass on the future.”
Neither people nor buildings last forever, but Chen Lei's photos can help us remember them. The stories that accompany them also help build a picture of life for future generations to hear and add their own stories, too.
