2. Professor Smith is famous___________ his achievements in the field of biology.
Despite the high technology and investment in flood defences by the Environment Agency, there is no way to stop all flooding—sooner or later nature will produce something that will beat even the strongest defences.
Warning people of this clanger is very important if we are to prevent the great loss of life seen sixty-three years ago. Indeed if the Flood Warning system that currently exists had been around on that cold, stormy night in January 1953， many lives would have been spared.
The Environment Agency took over the role of flood warning in 1995 from the police who had to go door to door or sound alarms to get the news out. The service is being constantly improved and a combination of better technology and increased investment following the Easter Floods of 1998 has led to the creation of Floodline and an automatic messaging system that can warn thousands of people in very little time.
Floodline 0845 988 1188 offers information and advice 24 hours a day and if warnings are in place, callers can get information either from local updates or by using a quick dialling code for their area.
The Flood Warning team inKenthas also sent letters to the people living close to the rivers or the sea and invited them to join the AVM (automated voice messa?ging) system. Anyone choosing to take up this free service will receive a recorded message directly to their home, business or pager telling them of the level of warning, giving them as much time as possible to carry out their flood plan and save items that cannot be re?placed if lost or damaged, such as photographs or children's favourite toys.

A. Vive la Tower！
Until New York's Chrysler Building was completed in 1930, the Eiffel Tower was the tal?lest structure in the world. Located by the river Seine, on an avenue named after its designer, this 985-foot (300-metre) tower is the most fa?mous edifice in the city of Paris. Gustave Eiffel's idea was certainly chosen from among 700 proposals to represent the city in the International Exhibition of Paris in 1889. It commemoratecK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 comple?tion. 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, Pari?sians despised it. Its architectural style and metallic composition were not con?sidered pleasing. Today, the Eiffel Tower is adorned(装饰)with special lights that sparkle for ten minutes each hour, from sunset until 1 am. 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.In 1887， three hundred steel workers spent two years constructing the 7,000-ton tower.
