The walls protected people inside. As time passed, most walls were broken or pulled down. Only a few well-known ones remain today. Xi’an City Wall is one of the best examples. It was built more than 600 years ago. At first, local government planned to pull parts of it down to build new roads. However, lots of people disagreed. They believed the wall was a precious part of local history. Finally, the government changed the plan. Workers repaired the wall instead. Now, thousands of tourists walk or ride bikes along the wall every year. They enjoy the ancient buildings and look back on old times. Historians also come here to study city life in the Ming Dynasty. Still, challenges exist. Rain and wind slowly hurt the old walls. Experts keep checking and repairing them so that the walls can stand for hundreds more years. ( ) 1.

Because tourists break it often. B. Because weather damages it little by little. C. Because they want to build new walls. D. Because local people ask them to do so.

Some young people hardly know stories from their hometown. To change this situation, a group of local volunteers started a project called “Voices of the Past”. The volunteers visit elderly villagers. They record the old stories told by the elders. These stories are about local history, old festivals and special skills. They also take photos of old houses and traditional tools. All the videos and photos are kept in an online digital museum. Anyone can visit it for free. The volunteers hope teenagers will look back on their local culture and feel proud of their hometown. So far, they have collected over 200 stories. However, they still face difficulties. Some elders are too old to remember full stories. The volunteers spend lots of time chatting patiently to get complete information. 1. The project name is ________________________. 2. Volunteers record old stories from ________________________. 3.
