[单项选择]With its cluster of high-rises known as the "Frankfurter Manhattan", its big banks and its bustling airport, this is a town with pretensions. Petra Roth, the mayor, sees it as a "global city providing hub functions for the Continent", a place that should be "as cosmopolitan as New York".
Frankfurt is not just the city of foreign companies, but it is also home to 80,000 Muslims, most of them Turks of modest means. Foreigners, including a large contingent from the former Yugoslavia, make up 30% of the population, one of the highest ratios for any city in Europe troubled by immigration. But there is no blood on the streets. Quietly flows the Main River beneath that mock-New World skyline.
As Germany goes these days, so goes Europe. And if Frankfurt, the headquarters for Europe’s new central bank and so the capital of Europe’s nascent shared currency, the euro, is comfortable being a part-Muslim city with 27 mosques, perhaps the so-called New Europe of one money and blurred borde

Pisa is an Italian city known for its Leaning Tower.
The Tower, 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 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 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 reconstructed
A. At the beginning of its construction.
B. In the middle of its construction.
C. When the construction was finally finished.
D. Nobody knows about it.
