| From the earliest times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together to collect and save the world's art treasures. Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort (炮台). In 1190, it was the king's castle with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat to prevent his enemies from walking in. Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle was no longer needed as a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens. During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged. When Francis I became king of France in 1515, he brought in artists from many countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" is the best known painting in the museum today. In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum, just as it is now. It is a place where art treasures have been saved for everyone to enjoy. |

| Although most people know there are Seven Wonders in the Ancient World, only few people can name them. This is because most of them are no longer there except the pyramids. However, there is a growing list of wonders of the world today. About nine years ago, UNESCO's World Cultural and Nature Heritage ( things that have come down to us from the past) List had 411 places and 136 countries were responsible to protect them, and the list keeps on growing. Usually it is the task of a group of 21 experts to decide which places go on the list. The experts are chosen to work for six years. Their work is to examine and discuss the suggestions from different countries. They also manage the World Heritage Fund and have the right to decide what help to give to countries for protection work. Over the past centuries, a lot of cultural or historic places have been destroyed by man or nature. Protecting our natural and cultural heritage is a long and difficult task. Earthquakes, floods, pollution, wars, or even tourism are some of the dangers that harm this heritage. When a historic place is in great danger, it is put on the World Heritage in Danger List and necessary things will be done to protect it.

| Good morning, everybody. My topic for today is "How Americans Value Time". Americans from childhood think a great deal about time and they learn to value time very much. As children, they are taught.that time is everything. Time is money. A working American has to work hard for 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week. This is the working time. In his spare time, he also works hard for more money. Even Saturday and Sunday are filled with activities. In the street you can hardly see a man who walks slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are running. Time is knowledge. No matter whether they go to work or go back home, they will take advantage of every minute to read on the buses, trains and ships. Time is friendship. When an American is invited to dinner, he won't be late or get there too early. Otherwise, his arrival will make the others unhappy. Seeing from above, we should learn from Americans to value every minute very much. |
