　　A

　　The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco,California is one of the world’s most beautiful bridges.It is also one of the most visited places in the world.Vehicles(车辆)cross the bridge an average of 41 million times each year.More than 1,800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago.

　　The bridge was painted“International Orange”because that color went well with the natural surroundings.The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area.But the Golden Gate Bridge was not named for its orange color.It was named for the body of water that it crosses,the Golden Gate Strait.

　　The Golden Gate Strait is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean.The Golden Gate Bridge links the city of San Francisco with Marin County,California.

　　Planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around San Francisco was growing.People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries(渡船).

　　Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project.Work began in 1934.Mr Strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building.These included the first use of “hard hats”to protect the workers’ heads and special glasses to protect their eyes.

　　A special safety net was suspended(挂)under the bridge.This net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction.However,11 other workers were killed when they fell from the bridge through the net.Still,this was a new safety record for the time.

　　The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937.It extends 1,280 meters across the water.The total length is 2,737 meters.It was the largest suspension bridge(吊桥)in the world until 1964.That is when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City.Today,the Golden Gate Bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world.

　　Officials say the islands of Tokelau in the South Pacific Ocean have become the world’s first territory totally powered by the sun.The move is expected to save money and ease the environmental burden of depending on imported fossil fuels.

　　New Zealand’s foreign affairs minister released a statement about the Tokelau Renewable Energy Project.Murray McCully said Tokelau’s three main islands now have enough solar capacity to meet all of their electricity needs.

　　The three islands of Tokelau are Atafu,Nukunonu and Fakaofo.The group of islands is about halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii and is administered by New Zealand.Together they have about 1,500 citizens.

　　Each island received its own solar power transmission network.New Zealand officials estimated the cost of the project to build the three solar transmission networks at around seven million dollars.The last of them was completed earlier this month.

　　It is estimated that oil imports make up to thirty percent of national income in some parts of the Pacific.The move to solar power could save Tokelau about one million dollars a year.One project director said Tokelau would now be able to spend more on social programs to help its citizens.

　　Other South Pacific islands are attempting similar projects.The island nations of Samoa and Tuvalu are aiming to get all of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020.The Cook Islands plans to start moving to solar panels and wind turbines(涡轮).And most houses in the South Pacific groups of islands will begin to use solar water heaters.

　　East Timor’s government has promised that no households in the capital,Dili,would be using firewood for cooking by 2015.It also says fifty percent of the country’s electricity will come from renewable sources by the end of the decade.

　　New Zealand Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully said the country would hold a Pacific energy summit in March next year.He said the meeting would build on the success of clean and affordable energy solutions for Tokelau,Tonga,and the Cook Islands.
