Napoleon agreed to plan for a tunnel(隧道)under the English

Channel in 1802.The British began digging(挖) one in

1880.Neither tunnel was completed. Europe has had to wait until

the end of the 20th century for the Channel Tunnel. After nearly

two centuries of dreaming，the island of Great Britain is

connected to Continental Europe for the first time since the Ice

Age，when the two land masses moved apart.

On May 6,1994，Britain's Queen Elizabeth and France's President Mitterrand carried out the official opening. The Queen was accompanied(陪同)on her train journey through the historic tunnel by one of her Rolls-Royce cars which was placed on the train. The following day saw celebrations taking place in Folkestone and Calais. Regular public services did not start until the latter part of 1994.

Until New York's Chrysler Building was completed in 1930，the Eiffel

Tower was the tallest structure in the world. Located by the river Seine，on an

avenue named after its designer，this 985-foot(300-meter)tower is the most famous edifice(宏伟建筑)in the city of Paris. Gustave Eiffel's idea was certainly chosen from among 700 proposals(提议)to represent the city in the International Exhibition of Paris in 1889.It commemorated(纪念)the 100th anniversary（周年纪念）of the French Revolution.

In 1887，three hundred steel workers spent two years constructing（修建）the 7,000-ton tower. Yet，it was almost torn down two decades（十年）after its completion. 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，Parisians despised（鄙视）it. Its architectural style and metallic composition were not considered pleasing. Today，the Eiffel Tower is adorned(装饰)with special lights that sparkle for ten minutes each hour，from sunset until one a．m..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.

5．If you want to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle，when might you stop by?

A．1：15 a．m.. B．3：30 p．m..

C．9：10 a．m.. D．0：00 a．m..
