2、rming of the atmosphere, there is also a danger that its astonishing architecture and precious works of art may one day end up at the bottom of the Mediterranean.One of the most famous parts of Venice, visited by millions of tourists, is St Marks Square. 150 years ago it used to flood once or twice

3、a year. Now it floods every week. The effect on peoples lives, and on the wonderful Renaissance buildings, is terrible. One Venetian said: “I dont know anyone who sleeps on the ground floor of their house any more. Its always too wet and sometimes the water comes in.”The citys battle with water date

4、s back over 1,500 years. Its wealth has always depended on its position in the middle of the sea, which meant that it was easy for ships to stop there and trade. By the time of the Renaissance in the 15th century, it was one of the worlds richest cities, trading with both the East and the West. But

But in the 20th century the knowledge was basically forgotten. People did not realize the effect that taking water out of the ground

7、would have on the city. During the 1950s factories took water out of the earth, making it drier; then the weight of the buildings squeezed the earth and the entire city started to sink. By the time the government found out what was happening, Venice had sunk 20 centimeters.That problem has now gone

8、awaybut the news about Venice is still very disturbing. Across the world, the height of the sea is going up all the time; and the whole of the northeast of Italy is moving downwards, and taking Venice with it. Unless the government comes up with an answer soon, this Renaissance jewel could be lost f
