Vive la Tower!
Until New York’s Chrysler Building was completed in 1930 the Eiffel Tower was the tallest structure in the world.Located by the river Seine on an avenue named after its designer this 985-foot (300-meter) tower is the most famous edifice(大建筑物) in the city of Paris.Gustave Eiffel’s idea was certainly chosen from among 700 proposals(提议) to represent the city in the International Exhibition of Paris in 1889.It commemorated(纪念) the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.
In 1887 three hundred steel workers spent two years constructing the 7 000-ton tower.Yet it was almost torn down two decades after its completion.Luckily its antenna(天线) used for telegraphy at the time saved it.Last July it looked to observers as though the tower might be destroyed after all as ominous(不吉利的) black clouds of smoke encircled the structure.Luck was again smiling upon the tower:the fire turned out to be a small one that was quickly put out by attendants on duty.
To date more than 200 million people have visited the Eiffel Tower.However it has not always been a beloved tourist attraction.At first Parisians despised it.Its architectural style and metallic composition were not considered pleasing.Today the Eiffel Tower is adorned(装饰) with special lights that sparkle for ten minutes each hour from sunset until one a.m.If you happen to be passing by look up at this breathtaking monument for an astonishing sight.The Eiffel Tower composed of iron and steel is greater than the sum of its parts
