protection
Read Para 1
①Economic development is necessary if we want to improve society. There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.
What's the challenge mentioned in Para 1
While-reading
Why did the Egyptian government want to build the Aswan Dam
Why did the proposal lead to protests
Read para. 2 and answer the question.
To control floods, produce electricity and supply water to more farmers in the area.
Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egyt’s cultural heritage.
②Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt's cultural heritage. After listening to the scientists who had studied the problem, and citizens who lived near the dam, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.
