Our children and grandchildren may not have a chance to visit many of the most famous places around the world. War, weather, age, traffic and pollution damage these famous places. Looking after these places often costs more than one country can afford. In the early 1970s, world governments decided that if they joined together, they would be able to preserve our history. If every country paid some money, they said, it would be possible to look after important historic places. Also, if they discovered that a monument needed urgent help, they would have money for repairs. For these reasons, countries around the world united to form the World Heritage Organization in 1972. Today, the organization helps to maintain and restore the most important places from our history. However, one of the biggest problems for historic places is vandalism. People sometimes enter the sites and destroy or damage the buildings. At some sites, such as Stonehenge in England, governments have built high fences to protect the site from vandals. There are many different ideas about how to solve the problem of vandalism. Some experts say that if guards patrolled the sites, vandals would not be able to get in. Some experts say that if they fixed more television cameras, they would not need so many guards. Other experts say that the best solution is education. If people learned to respect history, they would not destroy or damage it. They would also want to spend money looking after old places. For this reason, the World Heritage Organization helps to spread information about the value of historic sites.Every country should pay money to look after important historic places.

An unusual teacherA math teacher walks into his classroom holding an apple and a meat cleaver(砍肉刀). His students look interested. He puts on a cook’s hat and an apron, slowly raises the meat cleaver high into the air, and then cuts the apple into two pieces. His students look shocked. Believe it or not, this is the beginning of a lesson on fractions (分数).There are many scenes like this in stand and deliver. This movie is about real-life teacher Jaime Escalante and his students at Garfield high school in East Los Angeles. Actor Edward James Olmos captures Escalante’s passion and drive. The young actors who play students show how a school known for its drugs and gangs (团伙) becomes famous for its big improvements in math。Escalante sets rules for his students but also cares deeply about them. If he sees that a student is not listening, he playfully hits him with a red pillow. He tells students that they must have ganas, a Spanish word meaning “desire”. He reminds them that they are the hope for the future.Escalante also understands each student’s special problems. In one scene, a student named angel comes to see Escalante after class. Angel says that he wants to study at home, but he can’t let the members of his gang see him carrying books. So Escalante gives angel two sets of books---one to keep at home and one to keep in his locker.Some of the most moving scenes in the movie are based on actual events that took place in 1982. Escalante prepares his students to take a test in calculus(微积分), a difficult form of math. Officials are shocked when all 18 students, who come mostly from poor Hispanic families, pass the test. Accused of cheating, many of the students must retake the test. Again, they get high scores. Escalante complains that his students’ scores were challenged only because the students are Hispanic.Jaime Escalante is a teacher and cook
