Governments must ensure that their major cities receive the financial support they need in order to thrive, because it is primarily in cities that a nation's cultural traditions are preserved and generated.

提纲：
1。部分同意：政府应该支持，否定城市保存发源文化传统
2。反驳城市保存发源文化传统
3。政府应该支持的两个理由：政府的责任，大城市重要地位
4。不能无节制支持，应当调节发展
5。总结

With the rapid economic development, cities play an increasingly significant role in the whole society and catch much more attention from people than before. The advocacy that governments must meet their major cities' need by offer financial support is somewhat reasonable but the reason provided that it is in cities that a nation's cultural traditions are preserved and generated seems ungrounded from my opinion.

Above all, the claim that major cities have not only conserved but also generated much more of a nation's traditions than other places is open to doubt. As a common sense, from one aspect, the urbanization serves to establish so called "international metropolises", which absorb all kinds of alien cultures as part of their own. As a result, the big cities are going to be with more similarities although they are located in different places on the earth. For instance, Shanghai, one of the major cities in China, is such a typical international metropolis, but what you can see there is something almost same to New York. Towers though stand on the land of Shanghai, are designed by famous European or American or Japanese architects; reputed brands appear in the departments as common as in every other big city out of China. We cannot make sense to long for an indeed Chinese style there. The process of urbanization might do more on depriving the traditions from the major cities of a nation. From another aspect, it is more likely that countryside or small towns rather than major cities do help to preserve and generate a country's traditions, due to the less impact on them exerted by the urbanization process. Much less invaded and colonized by the foreign cultures, these relatively small sites may keep more customs original. When Beijing's historical civilian houses, which carry some kind of traditional life style, are demolished, to people’s surprise, Pingyao, a very small town gradually becomes celebrated for its preserving of those under a sound situation. So it is primarily in places other than major cities that a nation's culture could be preserved and generated.

Although the reason claimed is questionable, governments still should support the cities within the extent it can reach for two causes. On the one hand, a government has the responsibility to buttress major cities in finance. Since government is an institution to deal with national affairs and plan for the future development of the whole state, it is its obligation to try its best to meet the needs of every part of the nation, of course enveloping the major cities. On the other hand, major cities are the most important source of national taxes income, so the extent of how they are developed is relative to the whole country's financial situation. As the bone of the country, major cities need appropriations large enough to launch their plans toward the goal to be more prosperous. As an illustration, without the government’s subsidy, it is entirely impossible for Athens to win the chance to hold the Olympic Games in 2004 and due to this, the whole country would enjoy the benefits brought about by the Games. So it is meaningful to meet their needs in finance for further and faster developments.

However, such a point does not stand for immoderate content to the major cities. When country is taken into account as a whole, including major cities, small towns and countryside, it would be unwise to give major cites permanent priority to others without a well-rounded consideration about the reality. For example, should a country like Uganda put its people who are mostly living out of cities and in famine aside and empty its purse to meet its capital’s needs? A big NO would be the only answer. What is more essential of governments’ work is to reach a coordinated development of major cities, small cites, towns and countryside in the scope of the whole country. A state in a situation with palmy big cities only is somewhat like a lame person, who can merely advance by dragging his hurt leg slowly and arduously. So governments should not focus narrowly on the development of major cities and give them financial supports with overlooking the full view.

In sum, governments surely should appropriate to the major cities and meet their needs under a condition that such subsidies neither are beyond the governments’ capability, nor do harm to the coordinated development of the whole country. But instead of the reason that a nation’s cultural traditions are primarily preserved and generated in them, this support is with an eye to prompt the major cities to make progress and then, to propel the whole economic development of the nation.（775words）
