?.????? London's River Thames has twenty-seven
bridges.Tower Bridge, the first bridge over the
Thames as you travel towards  26  from the sea,
is the  27  of them all. The thing that is
surprising about  28  is that it opens in the
middle.It does this  29  the big ships through to
the Pool of London.If you are  30  to see the
bridge with its two  31  arms high in the air you
will never forget it. Tower Bridge is less than
one hundred years old.It was built in the  32
.1850, everyone  33  that a bridge  34  the
Thames near the Tower London which almost a
thousand years old was most necessary.But  35
 argued about the new bridge for about another
thirty years.They took  36  long because they had
two problems.The new bridge must look like the
Tower of London----everyone said so.It  37  look
like a modern bridge.But because of the tall
ships it was  38  to have a modern design. At
last two  39  designers had the idea of an
opening bridge.And they made it look like the
Tower.So everyone was  40 .It was a wonderful
success.There was  41  much traffic on the  42
 that the bridge opened at least twelve times a
day hundred years  43 , the River Thames was
London's busiest road. Today big ships  44  come
so far up the Thames.Tower Bridge opens perhaps
only twice a week,  45  the same wonderful
machinery is still 46.It still has the two  47
 opening arms----each 1000 tons----leaving
seventy metres for the ships  48 .And they can
still open and close the  49  in one-and-a-half
minutes. Things are changing now at Tower Bridge,
but whatever  50 , Tower Bridge will always mean
London.
