Most people all over the world travel by the road. In a city in Italy, however, waterways make up the primary commuting routes. The city of Venice is best known for its canals. Unfortunately, this beautiful city of flat－bottomed boats (Gondolas), and churches is sinking and sinking fast.Known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”， Venice is situated on 120 islands formed by canals between the mouths of the Po and Piave Rivers. And even the bits of firm ground have rather boggy (泥泞的) foundations and all this slowly getting eroded (腐蚀的).The existing ground water table and the global climate changes that have raised sea levels by several inches, are proving its disaster for the city. As sea－ice melts and water levels rise, floods in Venice are getting from bad to worse. And buildings are already feeling the impact of this phenomenon, with their foundations literally being shaken. Take one of the most famous landmarks of Venice for example, the 900－year－old St. Basilica, now leans slightly to the left.Experts warn that the city may sink an additional eight inches in the next 50 years. Many scared residents have already started to move to drier regions in Italy's mainland. To deal with the flood threat, a group of Venetians, called the New Venice Consortium, has come up with “Project Moses”—a dam project named after the biblical figure, Moses. The idea is to place underwater gates at different points where the Adriatic Sea enters the lagoon (环礁湖). When the water is low, the gates will remain open and as the water rises, the gates will close, preventing the seawater fromflooding Venice. However, some people disagree with this idea. Environmentalists point out that the gates would have to remain closed most of the time and seawater will not be able to move in and out of Venice. As a result, the lagoon water will become stagnant (停滞的), harming the fish and plants that live there. Until a viable solution is found out, Venice, it seems, would continue to be threatened by floods. Truly, a case of being caught between the devil and the deep sea![精彩范文]Venice is facing the danger of sinking under water on account of the rise of seawater. (要点1)The foundations of the buildings are not solid and some famous building begin to slope. (要点2)Many residents have already started to move to drier regions because the city may sink an extra eight inches. (要点3) Some venetians have thought of ways, among which is “Project Moses”.

Manhattan is the heart of New York City. It is really an island, which is only 13 miles long and 2 miles wide. Seen from the air, it looks like a long finger, and from the sea, it is just like a picture we often see.On Manhattan are some of the most wonderful sights in the New York. What is the easiest way to see them? First, get a map of New York City, which is often supplied free at gas stations and tourist offices. You can take a bus tour, but a better wayto see the sights is to walk, and you'll walk with your head thrown back so that you can look at the tall buildings rising like steep cliffs on both sides of the streets.It's not easy to get lost here. The streets of New York from squares are called blocks. Nearly all the streets are in straight lines, running from east to west. Those running from north to south are called avenues. Most of the avenues and streets have only numbers, of which the famous Fifth Avenue is the dividing line between the east and west in Manhattan.And here you'll see the Empire State Building. On the 102nd floor, over 1,400 feet above the ground, it is possible for you to see the area in which one in ten of all the people in America live. And from there, you can look down at the other huge skyscrapers, the United Nations' buildings, the Statue of Liberty in the harbour, Broadway—the longest street in the world but not the straightest, and the greatest ships in the world's biggest port.写前导读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了曼哈顿的相关信息，包括参观方式、布局和著名景点。
