The Sweetest Sight

I was in the most beautiful city in the world, yet I only wanted home.

It was an amazing week for my husband and me –the trip of a lifetime. Months ago, when my husband told me that he would have a meeting in London. I expressed my to go to Europe together with him. Then we asked his mother to our two children and started off.

During the week’s time, visited London and Paris –as much as we could, Big Ben, the Louvre and so on. All these were beautiful places we expected to see before. We really enjoyed ourselves.

On our last night in Paris, we enjoyed the night view(夜景) of the Eiffel Tower, my husband called home. His mother the phone. In a second, my husband’s face fell and he looked so worried. I could feel something happened.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

He didn’t answer and continued to listen. A few minutes later, he said to me that Tony, our seven-year-old son, had fallen off his bike and his leg. He must be sent to hospital at once.

At that moment, Paris suddenly lost its charm(魅力).

“I don’t want to be here! I shouldn’t be here! I should be home my kids!”

We hurried back to our hotel and then to the airport …

Finally, we got home. We rushed into our children’s bedroom. Seeing our two children, I suddenly realized the truth: there is no sight(風景)in the world than your children’s faces that greet you at home.

There was a time when New York City buildings were almost all the same height.

Today you can see buildings of different heights that seem to touch the sky. They are called skyscrapers(摩天大樓). They shape the famous New York City skyline.

It started about 90 years ago. It began like a race. This wasn't a race down the street or around a track(跑道). It was a race for the sky. Who was racing? Buildings were.

Their builders were actually racing to build the world's tallest skyscraper.

The race started slowly.

First came the Woolworth Building, in 1913. It rose 792 feet(英尺) on the southern side of the city. Then the race heated up.In1930, two skyscrapers were nearing completion. The Bank of Manhattan Building was finished first. It rose up to 927 feet into the sky. Builders were then putting a round roof（屋頂）on the top of the Chrysler Building. It rose up t0 925 feet. The Bank of Manhattan, two feet taller, seemed to be the winner.

A few weeks later, New Yorkers saw a strange sight（景象）. The day that the Chrysler Building was to be completed, workers raised a shiny metal, spire（尖頂） through the top of the building, adding 121 feet to the building's height! At l,048 feet, the Chrysler Building was now the world's tallest.

But the race was not over. A year later, in 1931, the Empire State Building became the new winner.At l,250 feet, it was the world's tallest building.

In 1973, even that record was broken. Builders finished the World Trade Center. At 1,368 feet high, it rose above all other buildings in New York City.

Time goes on. As technology improves, taller buildings are being built. The race is still on.

A.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容簡要回答問題。

1.Which skyscrapers had been the world's tallest buildings? Please list them.

2.During which period of the time did the race heat up?

B．將短文中劃線的句子譯成漢語。

3.

4.

C．請給短文擬一個適當?shù)挠⑽臉祟}。
