Unit 3;1.Do you know why the Leaning Tower of Pisa began to lean shortly after it was built? 2.Why did the authorities decide to keep the leaning position?;subsoil. After the period of structural strengthening at the beginning of the 21st century, the Leaning Tower of Pisa now leans at an angle of 3.97 degrees. In 1178, the change in direction was found for the first time when the construction had progressed further to the third floor. The towers weight was very heavy for the three-meter foundation that was built on a weak area of land. ;  For compensating (弥补) the leaning position, the builders started to construct the upper floors with one side higher than the other one. This caused the tower to lean in the other direction. This unusual structure led to the tower being actually curved. In spite of these efforts, the tower kept on leaning. The government of Italy started to plan a prevention of the complete collapse of the tower in 1964. However, a request was put forward by the authorities to keep the leaning position because of the tourism industry of the region.; After nearly two decades of careful planning by engineers, historians and mathematicians, the stabilization (加固) efforts for the Leaning Tower of Pisa started in 1990.The tower was closed for the general public and the people living nearby moved away. For reducing the total weight of the tower, its seven bells which represented the seven musical notes were removed. The tower was reopened to the general public on December 15, 2001. ; In May 2008, after removing another 70 metric tons of earth, the engineers announced that the tower had been finally stabilized and it would remain stable for at least 200 years.;Are you familiar with these famous historic sites? Match the following pictures with their names.;A.the Summer Palace  B.the Temple of Heaven C.the Royal Mausoleum of Ming D.the Confucius Temple E.stonehenge F.the Forbidden City G
