老师：Hello everyone. Welcome to my class. Today we're going to read and think about cultural heritage and understand how a problem was solved. In today's lesson, you will identify the problem mentioned in the text and explain how the problem was solved and discussed the significance of solving the problem. Let's first of all read the title and look at the photos. What do you think the tax is about? What is the title? What do you know about the pictures? How are they connected? Some say the title suggests the text is about how people have solved problems, because they're going from the problems to solutions.
老师：As for the pictures, the pictures show some ancient statues. They might be from Egypt. Egypt, one of the countries with long history and profound culture. I see exactly the large faces look as though they have been moved from where they first were. Perhaps the problem is related to this.

学生：In 1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescued 22 temples and countless cultural relics. 50 countries donated nearly $80 million to the project.
老师：And also, in 1980.
学生：When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success.
老师：Now let's take a closer look at some of the numbers. What do you infer from the numbers?
学生：Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescued 22 temples and countless cultural relics. 50 countries donated nearly $80 million to the project.
老师：Very good point. The project is so hard that it takes 20 years to finish it. The project cost a lot of money. Many countries participated in th
