The Heritage（遗产）at Risk programme aims to understand the overall state of England’s heritage by assessing each of its different elements．In particular we need to identify those that are facing the greatest pressures and threats．We will use this information to work out how to reduce those pressures and in turn to calculate the resources needed to make our unique heritage of historic places safe．
You can search for sites on the register by entering a site name, location, street or educational block in the box below．
Conservation areasA nationwide survey of conservation areas indicates that approximately 1 in 7 is at risk from neglect （疏忽）, decay （腐烂）or unpitying change．
Show your support for our campaign to save conservation areas from unavoidable decline and receive a free campaign pack by registering．There are some 9,300 conservation areas across England, meaning that we all live in or near to one or visit one regularly for work, shopping or rest．They are the element of England’s heritage that is all around us and which touches all of our lives．But until now no one had a clear idea what condition they were in．
BuildingsThe task of assessing condition and risk started with buildings．Following a survey of all grades of listed buildings in London, English Heritage published in 1991 the first annual register of those at risk there．
The success of this London work led to the national buildings at risk strategy in 1998, and publication of a register of buildings at risk conversing all grade I and II listed buildings and structural scheduled monuments in the country, at risk and vulnerable（易受伤害的）．
Parks & Gardens
There are 1,600 entries on the current English Heritage Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest．Sites at risk have typically been diversely（不利地）affected by development and neglect; often they have been changed by development and are faced with major change．Sometimes development beyond the boundary of a registered landscape can be just as harmful as construction within its boundaries; this is especially true that development would influence designed views that extend beyond the chosen site itself．
1．The purpose of using the information to work out how to reduce pressures is to ．
A．assess each of English heritage’s different elements
B．identify those that are facing the greatest pressures and threats
C．calculate the resources needed to make heritage of historic sites safe
D．help you to search for sites at risk on the register
2．It can be inferred from “Conservation areas” that conservation areas across England ．
A．are almost all at risk from neglect, decay or unpitying change
B．can be entered with a campaign pack free of charge
C．are in very close connection with our lives
D．are in whatever condition people are sure about
3．The text mainly talks about ．
A．English heritage at risk B．historic places of interest
C．English heritage register D．location of English heritage
4．According to the last paragraph, the bad effect development has on the sites at risk is that ．
A．it has changed the sites at risk with no intention
B．it can sometimes cause harm beyond the registered boundaries
C．it would affect the designed views instead of the chosen sites
D．it has neglected the local people of special historic interest

Someone said that encouragement is simply reminding a person of the “shoulders” he’s standing on, the heritage he’s been given. That’s what happened 36 a young man, the son of a(n) 37 baseball player, was chosen by one of the minor league teams. Hard as he tried, his first season was 38 , and by midseason he expected to be removed 39 day. The coaches were 40 by his failure because he possessed all the characteristics of a superb athlete, but he seemed to have become 41 from his potential.
His 42 seemed darkest one day when he had already struck out his first time at bat. Then he stepped up to the batter’s box again and quickly ran up two strikes. The catcher called a 43 and ran for a conference to discuss strategies. While they were busy, the 44 , standing behind him, spoke casually to the boy.
Then play 45 , the next pitch was thrown and the young man knocked it out of the park. That was the turning 46 . From then on, he played the game with a new confidence and power that quickly 47 the attention of the parent team, and he was called 48 to the majors.
On the day he was leaving for the city, one of his coaches asked him what had caused such a turnaround. The young man replied it was the 49 remark the judge had 50 that day when his baseball career had seemed 51 .
“He told me I reminded him of all the times he had stood 52 my dad in the batter’s box,” the boy explained. “He said I was holding the bat just the way Dad had held it. 53 he told me, ‘I can see his genes in you; you have your father’s 54 .’ After that, whenever I swung the bat, I just 55 I was using Dad’s arms instead of my own.”

Bedfordshire had its fair share of royal visits from the early stages of the 10th Century onwards and the importance that the county placed on this is evident in the monuments, country houses, churches and any number of other structures that are still present there to this day. Bedford Castle is one of those structures and, although it is nowhere near its former glory today, it is an essential attraction to visit if you really want to grasp what its heritage means to the county!
Bedford Castle was built initially as a fortress to help protect Bedfordshire on the south of the River Ouse after the people in the local towns and villages had already been subdued. It was erected in 919 on the orders of King Edward the Elder, although it was destroyed by a Danish invasion years later. This was when it was rebuilt as the castle, of which the ruins exist today!
There is a long history behind the castle that involves several kings as a result of the Duke of Bedford being an ardent royalist. Bedford Castle repeatedly offered the kings of England refuge against various storms in the form of onslaughts from abroad and various domestic threats against them, and this is where much of its fame lies, even though the castle itself is no longer there. There are various tours of the ruins that you can take when you visit though and all of the guides are extremely knowledgeable. They will happily tell you tales of the mound and the castle that preceded it.
The mound is open to the public all year round and is a proud part of the area’s heritage. It is recommended by the majority of people that visit Bedfordshire because it tells you much about why the county is currently how it is. You can view the river from the mound and the surrounding settlements as well as the remains of the castle, and every moment spent there is worth it so enjoy the history and the very nature of the county itself!
