history, admired the United States greatly. Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was a famous artist. De Laboulaye was thinking about 1876, when the country he respected so much would celebrate its 100th birthday.
What gift would be good enough for the people of France to give? Right away, Bartholdi thought of a
giant statue.
Bartholdi kept thinking about a statue for several years. Then, in 1871, he visited the United States
and saw the perfect place for a huge statue. It was Bedloe's Island in New York.
The project - the Statue of Liberty - got started almost immediately, and Bartholdi went home to
France to begin work. However, the statue was not finished in time for the 100th birthday. The United
States Congress approved (批准) the use of Bedloe's Island on February 22, 1877. During the 100th
celebration in 1876, the arm of the statue that would hold the torch was shown in Philadelphia. In 1879
the huge head was put on display in France. For the face of the statue, Bartholdi used his mother as a
The statue was finally completed in 1884. The work had been difficult enough, but then some really
hard work began. The statue had to be taken apart and packed into boxes. It was not until May 1885
that the statue - in pieces - left France for its new home.
The statue arrived in June. However, the Americans fell behind on their part of the project. They
hadn't raised enough money for building the base of the statue. People wondered if the country really
needed or wanted such a gift. Finally, though, the money was raised and the base was completed. The
last piece of the statue was put in place on October 28, 1886.

查看习题详情和答案>>One of the most important inventions is the invention of the telephone. The idea behind the telephone is simple. a system which changes sound into a series of electrical impulses of differing frequencies （频率）, and then reverses this procedure to recreate the sound.
As early as 1831, Mickael Faraday proved that vibrations （震动） of metal could be changed into electrical impulses. This was the basic principle of the telephone, but no one made us of such technology until 1861, when German inventor, Johann Reis, successfully built some equipment that changed sound to electricity and back again. The equipment had built some equipment that changed sound to electricity and back again. The equipment had many flaws, unable to transmit many frequencies and therefore was never fully developed.
Two men in the United States Elisa Gray and Alexander Graham Bell （a Scottish inventor）, both worked hard to create what would be known as the telephone almost at the same time, and amazingly both filed for a patent within hours of one another, Bell beating his rival by merely two hours on February 14 th, 1876.
The first comprehensible telephone conversation was said to have taken place between Bell and his assistant, who was sitting in another room. Bell said, “Come here, Watson, I want you”, which Watson successful heard via the receiver and the invention of the telephone was complete. The Bell Telephone Company （AT&T） was soon established and grew to be the largest telephone company in existence.
The following year, in 1877, the first telephone system was put in place in Hartford, Connecticut, while the first exchange linking two cities was established between Boston and New York in 1883. London hosted the first exchange put into practice outside the US in 1879.
