主题：两个罗马城镇，庞贝和赫库兰尼姆，被挖掘之后出现的一些保护问题

1. 野鸟会破坏城镇建筑内的艺术品

One problem is wild birds damaging works of art contained within the towns' structures. Ancient Romans created paintings on walls, and the ash covering Pompeii and Herculaneum preserved the paintings in excellent condition until the 1700s. However, now that the towns have been excavated, birds such as pigeons gather on the towns' walls and leave droppings. The droppings are acidic and cause paint to deteriorate, damaging the irreplaceable wall paintings.

1. First, some archaeologists have proposed a clever way of protecting the ancient works of art from damage caused by pigeon droppings, birds of prey such as hawks hunt other birds. Now hawks can be trained by human trainers. The trained hawks could be brought to Pompeii and Herculaneum on a regular basis. Once there, the hawks would fly around the area, establishing a territory. When pigeons noticed that hawks are present at these sites, they will be too afraid to stay there and will avoid the sites.

2. 人类游客造成的破坏

A second problem is damage caused by human tourists. Most tourists are respectful about preserving the sites when they visit, but less responsible tourists deliberately steal chunks of the ancient walls to take home as souvenirs. Others write graffiti on the towns buildings. Both sites have security guards, but there are not enough of them to monitor all the tourists. Hiring enough guards to protect every wall and building would be impossibly expensive.

2. Second, there is a more affordable way to monitor tourist activities than hiring additional expense of security guards. All around the world there are history enthusiasts, people who just love history and are willing to do educational work at historical sites for little or no money. Such enthusiasts could be hired very inexpensively in great number for Pompeii and Herculaneum. They could serve as guides, act out scenes from the daily lives of ancient Romans or do other educational work. And here's the key these same enthusiasts educating the public could also keep a watchful eye on tourists to help prevent theft and graffiti.

3. 庞贝和赫库兰尼姆的建筑都经历了结构上的破坏

Third, the buildings of Pompeii and Herculaneum have experienced structural failures. Although many of the buildings remained standing under the ash for nearly 2000 years, they began to collapse when the ash was removed. In the early 1900s, engineers tried to prevent building collapses at these ancient sites by installing cement supports. The supports, however, have not worked well, and the structures continue to fall down.

3. Third, earlier attempts to build support for the collapsing buildings were unsuccessful, but today's engineers know why. The cement supports used in the early 1900s actually contributed to the problem instead of preventing it. This happened because the cement used to build the old supports contained harmful chemicals. When the cement got wet, the chemicals were transferred to the ancient walls, which damaged those walls. Fortunately, engineers are now removing the old low quality cement supports and replacing them with new supports that have a much safer chemical composition.

学术讨论

　　An effective response will contain at least 100 words. You have ten minutes to write.

　　Doctor Achebe:This week, we are discussing the social psychology of sports. We have learned that sports often have positive psychological effects on athletes, such as the members of sports teams. But how can we describe their effects on other groups of people, such assports enthusiasts or sports fans? Consider the following question: When people spend a lot of time watching sports or following their favorite team, does it have a negative effect on their lives? Why or why not?

　　Kelly: I agree that focusing too much on sports can have negative impacts. For example some people who like watching sports on television have few other interests In fact, it seems like watching sports is all they're interested in sometimes find such people annoying because they care too much about things that don't matter.

　　Paul: I am not sure what we mean by spending “a lot of time” following sports. But following sports has helped me in life. When I first met one of my best friends, Daphne, I started a conversation with her by mentioning a sports team I liked. Then we moved on to other topics but sports were a great conversation starter.

　　范文：

　　From my perspective, spending time on following sports games does more harm than good. This is because when people follow a team, they are usually not satisfied with watching television and buy tickets to go live. At the same time, they will also buy some accessories, which will spend a lot of extra money. It can be extremely costly, which could bring financial burden to those crazy fans. Consider my sister as an example. She was a fanatic of a basketball team and always overly excited and enthusiastic when watching sports games. Consequently, she made impulse purchases without considering whether these products truly served her needs, going beyond her financial budget. This caused her to suffer from financial stress and had difficulties enjoying other meaningful activities that could better satisfy her physical and mental well-being. After spending a great deal of time and money following sports stars, she felt overwhelmed and unsatisfied. Therefore，following sports teams has a greater negative impact.
