33、ffel Tower was not very well liked at first, even though the design had been chosen out of seven hundred designs. A contest had been held to find a design for a tower to be built in Paris by 1889.That year would be one hundred years after the war known as the French Revolution. The French Revolution
34、 marked the time when the French people broke away from the rule of kings.

He had already desig
35、ned dams, churches, railroad stations, bridges, harbors and, of course, the framework of the Statue of Liberty. But it was the Eiffel Tower that made him really famous. At first, the French hated the tower. When it was begun in 1887, people called it ugly and useless. They also said that it couldnt
36、be built safely, and that it would fall down. As the tower gets close to her nineties, she is still in great shape. And the French people have changed their minds. Now they are very proud of their Eiffel Tower. They even think she is beautiful!48. The writer believes that the Eiffel Tower is _ than

41、igence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is sure to make a favorable impression on his teachers.
