Lady Liberty

The statue of Liberty is a symbol of freedom to people all over the world.
Since 1886 it has welcomed immigrants who sail into New York harbor to
begin a new life in the United States. Like many of them, Lady Liberty, as

the statue is affectionately known, had to overcome some difficulties before


reaching these shores.

The statue was a gift from the people of France to the people of the

United Sates. It was given in honor of the friendship between the two
countries and the one-hundredth anniversary of the American Revolution. But
before the statue could be put in place, the people of the United States had

to provide a pedestal for it at a cost of one hundred thousand dollars.


That turned out to be no easy task. A fund-raising drive was launched and
ran into immediate difficulties. Newspapers across the United States ridiculed

the effort. They argued that because the French were sending over the
statue, they should be the ones to pay the extra costs involved for the
base.

Despite this opposition, the effort to raise the money continued. A forty-foot
hight section of the right arm, with the hand clasping the torch of liberty,
was sent to the United States. It was displayed at the 1876 Philadelphia

exhibition marking the one-hundredth birthday of the United States. Visitors


paid fifty cents to climb onto the balcony surrounding the torch. Many
other fund-raising events were also held. But even after several years,

contributions fell far short of the total needed. The future of the entire
project seemed in doubt. Not until a newspaper appeal promised to print
donors' names was the necessary money raised.

- 5 -
With the success of the project assured, the rest of the statue was finally
shipped from France. It arrived in pieces packed in over two hundred
wooden creates. The work of assembling it proceeded without further delay.
A public holiday was declared on October 28, 1886, when the Statue of
Liberty was at last unveiled. It was one of the largest gatherings ever in
New York City. The island where the statue stands is called Liberty Island. It
is reached by a short ferry ride from lower Manhattan. At just over 305
feet, the statue was the tallest structure in New York City. Though it is
now dwarfed by the lofty skyscrapers of Manhattan, at the time it was the
most conspicuous landmark in the city.

In the 1880s, people seeking a better life were flooding into the United
States. They arrived at the rate of one million a year. Many of them came
from Russia and Eastern Europe; they had been cruelly persecuted by their
governments and were fleeing to safety. Others were escaping the poverty
of their native lands in search of a more prosperous life in America.

The museum at the base of the statue contains a bronze tablet placed there
in 1903. On it is a poem written twenty years earlier by Emma Kazarus,
whose own family had fled Russia. The poem has captured the imagination
of the American people and has become forever associated with the Statue
of Liberty.

It ends with these eloquent lines:


Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore;
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refused of your teeming shore;

7. Which is the best order of (A)~(C), following given text?
Lady Liberty, as the statue is affectionately known, had to overcome some difficulties before reaching these shores.

(A) It was displayed at the 1876 Philadelphia exhibition marking the one-hundredth birthday of the United States.
Visitors paid fifty cents to climb onto the balcony surrounding the torch. Many other fund-raising events were also held.
But even after several years, contributions fell far short of the total needed. The future of the entire project seemed in
doubt. Not until a newspaper appeal promised to print donors’ names was the necessary money raised.
(B) A fund-raising drive was launched and ran into immediate difficulties. Newspapers across the United States ridiculed
the effort. They argued that because the French were sending over the statue, they should be the ones to pay the
extra costs involved for the base. Despite this opposition, the effort to raise the money continued. A forty-foot-high
section of the right arm, with the hand clasping the torch of liberty, was sent to the United States.
(C) The statue was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. It was given in honor of the
friendship between the two countries and the one-hundredth anniversary of the American Revolution. But before the
statue could be put in place, the people of the United States had to provide a pedestal for it at a cost of one hundred
thousand dollars. That turned out to be no easy task.
