閱讀理解

I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa （比薩斜塔）. But when I read the word Pisa， I was thinking of pizza. I thought that this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world， I thought.

Many years later， I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then it was Pisa， not pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really leans to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they dont like it will lean over the city.

I dont think its a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down. Its six hundred years old. Why should anything happen to it now？ And， if you ask me， I like what it looks like. To me， its a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect （完美的）， it seems to say.

And who cares？ Why do people want things to be perfect？ Imperfect things may be more interesting. Lets take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous？ There are many other older， more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower， is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.
