The Tower
25、, interestingly enough, started leaning in the middle of its construction when its first three stories were completed. Bonnano Pisano, the engineer in charge, tried to correct the lean by making the new stories slightly taller on the short side, only to find that the added marble caused the Tower to
26、 sink still further. Work was suspended several times as engineers sought fresh solutions, until the Tower was finished in the 14th century, still leaning. The construction, begun in 1174, nearly took 200 years. In modern times the structure has been several times strengthened by cement, but to this
27、 day it is still in danger of collapse. Various schemes have been under consideration for saving, it. To rebuild an upright tower would be easy enough for modern engineering, but it would not be the same edifice as people love and remember it. The Leaning Tower must be left leaning, saved, not recon

31、periment and did harm to the Tower. 62 The Internet is a way of life for US college students. A recent survey by Harris Interactive and 360 youth found that 93 per cent of American college students visit the Internet, and this market is expected to grow from 15.2 million in 2003 to 16.4 million in 2
32、007. That is slow but it could be the result of the already high number of Internet college users.

Furthermore, 67 per cent own cell phones and 36 per cent use their mobile devices to
33、visit the Internet.

35、3 per cent saying low prices are important when shopping.
