     Why does the Leading Tower of Piza  (比萨斜塔) in Italy lean (倾斜) ?

It leans because of a mistake. It has leaned almost since the day the tower was built.

     In 1174,the people of Piza,Italy wanted to build a bell tower. They wanted the tower to be the most beautiful bell tower in all of Italy. The city also needed a bell tower because the church did not have one.

     As soon as the first floor of the building was finished,the tower started to lean. Builders tried to make the building straight again as they added more floors,but the Leaning Tower only got worse as the tower grew.

     It took almost 180 years to finish the tower. It is 54. 5  metres tall,and it leans almost 4 metres to one side. The tower is also sinking into the ground on which it was built. Every year,the tower leans another1. 5centimetres.

     Like all old buildings,it is also falling apart. If someone cannot figure out (想出) a way to save the tower,the Leaning Tower of Piza will fall down after 175 more years.

                      A  

   Before you go to another country,it is a great help if you know the language and some of the customs (风俗) of the country.

   When people meet each other for the first time in Britain,they say “how do you do?” and shake hands (握手) .Usually they do not shake hands when they just meet or say goodbye. But they shake hands when they haven’t met for a long time or when they will be away form each other for a long time.

   Last year a group of German students went to England for a holiday. Their teacher told them that the English people hardly ever shake hands. So when they met their English friends at the wStation,they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned that the Germans shake hands as often as possible,so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It made both of them laugh.
