french government did not like the first design that otis showed them, and they would not let him put the elevator in. by early 1889, the first visitors had to climb hundreds of stairs to get on the first and second platforms of the tower.the eiffel tower cost over a million us dollars a lot of money at that time. people who invested in the building were worried that they would not get their money back. however, in the first year they got much more than their money back. thousands of tickets were sold to people who wanted to go up and look at the view from the top.the opening of the eiffel tower took place on 10 june 1889. eiffel himself lived in the tower where he had his own apartment. many kings and queens visited the tower during the opening and, of course, they visited

kilometers to the southwest of beijing. in the 1920s, archaeologists discovered some prehistoric human bones there which changed peoples view of chinas history. they came from an unknown species of man and were the first evidence of human life in china thousands of years ago. the remains were three teeth!in 1929, a complete skull was also discovered. eventually, archaeologists found almost 200 items, including six skulls and more than 150 teeth. these discoveries proved the existence of a human species who lived in the area between 700,000 and 200,000 years ago. four sites where beijing man and his relatives lived were discovered on the northern face of longgushan. they lived in the caves in the area.however, the life span of beijing man was short. about 70% of the people probably died before the age of 14. fewer than 5% lived to the age of 50. ashes were found alongside the fossils which showed they had used fire for cooking food and also for light, warmth, and protection against wild animals. this is the earliest evidence of the use of fire anywhere in the world. they also made tools of bones and stones. unfortunately, when japan invaded china in 1937, excavations (发掘) at the beijing man site stopped and most of the fossils disappeared, including a beijing man skull. after the peoples republic of china was established in 1949, the work started again.zhoukoudian was listed as a world heritage site in december 1987. it has not only given us important information about prehistoric asian societies, but also provided amazing evidence about the process of evolution. today, parts of the caves have been badly affected by rain. some areas are almost completely covered in weeds, causing serious damage. pollution from the nearby factories has also contributed to the problem. this is a very serious matter and the chinese academy of sciences is trying to raise public awareness of it. 语篇解读：文章向我们介绍了周口店“北京人”遗址，它的位置，发现过程以及考古意义。9archaeologists _.athought that zhoukoudian was a

spoke a word for the few minutes it continued to rain and when the sun reappeared, i closed my umbrella, smiled, and waved goodbye.the following day i saw him again. this time, instead of demanding money from me, he smiled and waved and continued walking down the street. we had both gained something that day: respect for each other.so you see, everyone needs respect, whatever his age, or
