READING
1 : Read the passage and choose the correct option (A, B, C, or D) to answer each of the given questions.
In 1959, the government of Egypt was working on a plan to build a dam on the River Nile. It was called the Aswan
Dam, and it was intended to generate electricity and allow the river water to be used for agriculture. There was one
big problem with the plan, though. The dam would flood a nearby valley that contained ancient Egyptian treasures,
including two enormous stone temples.

It can be difficult for governments to choose culture and history over economics. However, if countries always
made decisions like this, the majority of the world's ancient sites would end up being destroyed. Luckily, UNESCO
stepped in. They formed a committee that tried to convince Egypt to protect its ancient treasures. With support
from many countries, they were finally successful. The huge temples were carefully removed from their original
site and moved to a safe location so that the dam could be built.
After their success in saving the temples in Egypt, UNESCO went on to save more sites around the world. They
protected lagoons in Venice, ruins in Pakistan, and temples in Indonesia. With industrialisation changing the world
rapidly, there were many sites that needed to be saved. Eventually, UNESCO formed the World Heritage
Organisation to protect important natural and historic sites wherever it was necessary.
By now, the World Heritage Organisation has protected hundreds of sites ranging from beautiful natural islands to
buildings in large cities and ancient ruins. If you're able to visit any of the many protected sites, you'll agree it was
worth it.
