D
I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word “Pisa”, I was thinking of pizza. 36. C It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.
Many years later, I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa but not pizza. 37. E
The tower got its name because it really does lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leaning over the city.
38. B The tower probably will not fall down, because it is over 800 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me, it is a very human kind of leaning. “Nothing is perfect,” it seems to say.
And who cares? 39. D Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower of Pisa as an example. There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. 40. A People come from all over the world to see it.
