As Chicago was rebuilt, architects had a prime opportunity to experiment with new ideas, such as using steel frames as building supports. These progressive concepts led to the development of the modern skyscraper, a towering American invention that has since sprung up in many other countries. 諷刺的是，將美國推到現代建築發展最前線的因素之一，竟是一八七一年的芝加哥大火，這場大火使得此市幾乎全毀。重建芝加哥時，建築師利用這個極佳的機會來試驗新點子，像是使用鋼架作為建築物的支撐等等。這些先進的概念導致了現代摩天大樓的誕生，這是一項高聳入雲的美式發明，自此也開始在其他國家如雨後春筍般地興起。 ☉Word Bank propel (v) 推動；驅使 MORE THAN CHAMPIONS   Winning isn't everything for these Olympic hopefuls 對這些可能致勝的奧運選手來說，贏得獎牌不是一切 線上收聽 http://StudioClassroom.com/ The Day's Phrase   Samuel was really living it up.
