7 . Raised in Bengaluru, Meera has always showed a keen interest in exploring the city’s rich heritage. She used to visit many lesser-known structures around the city. As an enthusiast, she enjoyed uncovering these hidden treasures and had always longed to make a meaningful contribution.

When she grew up, Meera worked as a writer, focusing on topics related to forests and science. She initially pursued writing before discovering her true passion for heritage preservation.

A key moment that redirected her career path was a visit to Devanahalli Fort. During her visit, she realized that there was a lack of information online about its history and heritage. The significance of this place was not only historical but also architectural. But there, she was shocked that it seemed as if no one even knew about it.

To preserve the forgotten heritage, she joined INTACH, a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of unprotected architectural heritage all over India. There are thousands of monument s in the country protected by the government. However, there are also small temples, buildings, schools, and homes that hold historical significance but are ignored. Besides restoration and preservation, they host heritage talks to familiarize people with their city’s heritage. While they do welcome tourists and travelers, their emphasis on engaging the local population is evident. The organization also hosts several heritage walks to spread awareness about the hidden heritage. Also, the team starts from looking for a prospective building, then securing funding and then finding architects and engineers that are ideal for the project.

In the past years, they have restored buildings in and around Bengaluru such as Mayo Hall, Tipu’s Armoury, Gangubai Hangal, Museum, the Old OPD Building at NIMHANS which is now a museum, the Oriental Research Institute in Mysuru among others.

They face many issues, with funding being the major challenge. However, she felt jammy enough to find enthusiastic individuals wanting to contribute as well as government funding here and there.

8 . Ignoring message is frowned upon (皱眉) in this always-on times. And according to most people, dropping out of communication is blamed as “ghosting”, which in the years since the term became widespread, has become a deadly killer of digital communications.

But in these exhausting times, when so many are overburdened with family responsibilities, stress, grief and anxiety, perhaps we should let go of the outdated, demanding requirement to participate in endless back-and-forth conversations. As Daniel Post Senning of the Emily Post Institution said, “You have to be a civil and decent person, but you don’t have to give your time and attention to everyone who asks for it.”

In an era when we understand more and more the importance of rest and time away from screens, triaging (优先选择) can be necessary for our peace of mind and relationships with the people in our lives: When we are on vacation. When it’s after 7 pm. When we are at the dinner table. When we are exercising. If you don’t reply immediately to a message during one of these times, don’t apologize. Just reply when you can. Or don’t.

Is triaging a blanket permission to fall into unexplained silence or become a bottleneck to your colleagues’ work? No. Instead, establish boundaries with your work colleagues frankly so that they don’t panic when they can’t reach you.

It’s also worth asking yourself who is putting the pressure on for immediate response. Perhaps it’s not the message sender, but you.

1. Which statement do most people agree with?

A．Giving full attention to whoever asks for it is a must.

B．Dropping out of a conversation equals killing other people.

C．It’s considered improper to cut off from an ongoing conversation.

D．It’s highly advised to carry on conversations despite heavy burdens.

2. How does the author develop paragraph 3?

C．By comparing facts.	D．By stating reasons.

3. What does the underlined word “bottleneck” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Barrier.

B．Milestone.

C．Opportunity.

D．Masterpiece.

4. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Important Emails: Send Them Quickly	B．Urgent Calls: Answer Them Immediately
C．Unfriendly People: Avoid Them Carefully	D．Unnecessary Messages: Ignore Them Directly
