历史和文化
　　(26历史遗址是否要让位于现代建设?)
　　//凯旋门(法国)：triumphal arch;故宫：SummerPalace;英国伦敦议会大厦顶的大钟：Big Ben Great wall Pyramid
　　提纲小结：
　　尊重历史：
　　1、历史遗迹即使不再有使用价值，但他们还具有其历史意义，是国家历史的见证。破坏历史遗迹代表忘记国家历史。

In fact, in some studies, some researchers believedthat without Lincoln,the process of abolishing slavery in American will delay for more than twentyyears. So it makes great sense to put our focus on Lincoln rather than otherpeople -- say, a deforest worker in Seattlefor example. Great history individuals -- currently known as famous few --indeed made the history quite different. In such cases in whic
