Many people from different countries come to Italy to visit the tower. The tower is a wonderful example of Romanesque architecture (罗马式建筑). Its 187 feet high. There is a staircase of 294 steps in the tower. But the tower is leaning. It looks as if it might fall at any time. Somevisitors are very nervous; they think its dangerous to stand in front of the tower for a long time, so they stop at the tower just long enough to take a photo. Then they hurry away. Now the tower is closed to the public. The tower is leaning to the south. It has been leaning for over 800 years. It slants (倾斜) more than 14 feet at the present time. Every year it leans a bit more. The tower is very heavy. It weighs 14,000 tons. But the soil is a mixture of clay (黏土) and water. A heavy tower built on soil like this must have a very strong foundation (地基).

Now tele-shopping is starting in Europe(欧洲). In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.Tele-shopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made 100 million. In France there are two tele-shopping channels, and the French spend about 20 million a year to buy things through those channels.In Germany, until last year tele-shopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed (允许) more tele-shopping. Other channels can open for tele-business, including(包括) the largest American tele-shopping company and a 24hour tele-shopping company. German businesses are hoping this new tele-shopping will help them sell more things.Some people like tele-shopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call tele-shopping “junk (垃圾)on the air”. Many Europeans usually worry about the quality (质量) of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.八年级英语竞赛试题 第7页 （共12页）The need for high quality means that European tele-shopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.41.
