The

26、 Rialto Bridge is one of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal. It is the oldest bridge across the canal, and was the dividing line between the districts of San Marco and San Polo. But on this day, there was a twist: it was filled with Venetians, not tourists.B) People are cheering and holding t

27、heir carts in the air, says Giovanni Giorgio, who helped organize the march with a grass-roots organization called Generazione 90. The carts he refers to are small shopping cartsthe symbol of a true Venetian. It started as a joke, he says with a laugh. The idea was to put blades on the wheels! You k

28、now? Like Ben Hur. Precisely like that, you just go around and run people down.C) Venice is one of the hottest tourist destinations in the world. But thats a problem. Up to 90,000 tourists crowd its streets and canals every dayfar outnumbering the 55,000 permanent residents. The tourist increase is

29、one key reason the citys population is down from 175,000 in the 1950s. The outnumbered Venetians have been steadily fleeing. And those who stick around are tired of living in a place where they cant even get to the market without swimming through a sea of picture-snapping tourists. Imagine, navigati

30、ng through 50,000 people while on the way to school or to work.D) Laura Chigi, a grandmother at the march, says the local and national governments have failed to do anything about the crowds for decades, because theyre only interested in tourismthe primary industry in Venice, worth more than $3 bill

31、ion in 2015. Venice is a cash cow, she says, and everyone wants a piece.E) Just beyond St. Marks Square, a cruise ship passes, one of hundreds every year that appear over their medieval (中世纪的) surroundings. Their massive wake creates waves at the bottom of the sea, weakening the foundations of the c

32、enturies-old buildings themselves. Every time I see a cruise ship, I feel sad, Chigi says. You see the mud it drags; the destruction it leaves in its wake? That hurts the ancient wooden poles holding up the city underwater. One day well see Venice break down.F) For a time, UNESCO, the cultural wing

33、of the United Nations, seemed to agree. Two years ago, it put Italy on notice, saying the government was not protecting Venice. UNESCO considers the entire city a World Heritage Site, a great honor that means Venice, at the cultural level, belongs to all of the worlds people. In 2014, UNESCO gave It

34、aly two years to manage Venices flourishing tourism or the city would be placed on another listWorld Heritage In Danger, joining such sites as Aleppo and Palmyra, destroyed by the war in Syria.G) Venices deadline passed with barely a murmur (嘟哝) this summer, just as UNESCO was meeting in Istanbul. O

35、nly one representative, Jad Tabet from Lebanon, tried to raise the issue. For several years, the situation of heritage in Venice has been worsening, and it has now reached a dramatic situation, Tabet told UNESCO. We have to act quicklythere is not a moment to waste.H) But UNESCO didnt even hold a vo

36、te. Its been postponed until 2017, says Anna Somers, the founder and CEO of The Art Newspaper and the former head of Venice in Peril, a group devoted to restoring Venetian art. She says the main reason the U.N. cultural organization didnt vote to declare Venice a World Heritage Site In Danger is bec

37、ause UNESCO has become intensely politicized. There would have been some back-room negotiations.I) Italy boasts more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country in the world, granting it considerable power and influence within the organization. The former head of the UNESCO World Heritage Cen

38、tre, which oversees heritage sites, is Francesco Bandarin, a Venetian who now serves as UNESCOs assistant director-general for culture.J) Earlier this year, Italy signed an accord with UNESCO to establish a task force of police art detectives and archaeologists (考古学家) to protect cultural heritage fr

39、om natural disasters and terror groups, such as ISIS. The accord underlined Italys global reputation as a good steward of art and culture.K) But adding Venice to the UNESCO endangered listwhich is dominated by sites in developing and conflict-ridden countrieswould be an international embarrassment,

40、and could even hurt Italys profitable tourism industry. The Italian Culture Ministry says it is unaware of any government efforts to pressure UNESCO. As for the organization itself, it declined a request for an interview.L) The citys current mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, has ridiculed UNESCO and told it to

41、 mind its own business, while continuing to support the cruise ship industry, which employs 5,000 Venice residents.M) As for Venetians, theyre beyond frustrated and hoping for a solution soon. Its a nightmare for me. Some situations are really difficult with tourists around, says Giorgio as he navig

42、ates around a swelling crowd at the Rialto Bridge. There are just so many of them. They never know where they are going, and do not walk in an orderly manner. Navigating the streets can be exhausting.N) Then it hits him: This crowd isnt made up of tourists. Theyre Venetians. Giorgio says hes never e

43、xperienced the Rialto Bridge this way in all his 22 years. For once, we are the ones who are blocking the traffic, he says delightedly. It feels unreal. It feels like were some form of endangered species. Its just nice. The feeling is just pure. But, he worries, if tourism isnt managed and his fellow locals continue to move to the mainland, his generation might be the last who can call themselves native Venetians.36. The passing cruise ships will undermine the foundations of the ancient buildi
