問題詳情:
The World Monuments Fund (WMF) is a group that helps to save important structures and land areas around the world. Recently, the WMF listed 93 endangered places in 47 countries. Here are a few of the places on the list.
The Rice Paddies (
稻田
) in the Philippines
These paddies were started in the 1600s and have been used for more than 400 years. They were dug from a steep, rocky mountainside by people who lived in the area before modern machines were invented. The WMF wants to preserve the paddies because they are examples of advanced buildings by smart farmers who had the simplest tools.

The Desert Castles of Uzbekistan
The Desert Castles rise from the sandy plains of Uzbekistan, a nation in central Asia. Some of the mud structures are 2,600 years old. Over the years, hundreds of forts (
要塞
) were built to help protect farmers from invaders. Now the structures are breaking down due to centuries’ exposure (
暴露
) to the wind.
Italy’s Ghost Town
In the 1950s, parts of the town of Craco were damaged by earthquakes. Then, in 1963, a huge landslide (
滑坡
) forced 1,800 residents to leave the town for a nearby valley. It was the first time in 1,200 years that no one had lived there. The earthquakes stopped in the 1970s, but its residents never returned. The empty but beautiful town has become a favorite of Hollywood moviemakers, with whom it is becoming more and more popular.
A Marketin Bahrain
This 200-year-old covered building is an important part of life for people in Bahrain, a city in the Middle East. Several smaller markets are placed under one roof.
