The Panama Canal, begun in the 1880s, wasn't finished until 1914. It joins the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans(大西洋和太平洋). Engineers describe the canal as a victory of humans over geography.

For 40 years after it was completed, the Empire State Building in New York City, was the tallest building in the world. This 102-story building was completed in just 410 days.

The netherlands North Sea Protection Works is another victory over geography. The netherlands, which is below sea level, was often flooded by the North Sea and some other rivers. Then, between 1927 and 1932, a dam was built to shut out the sea. Twenty years later, dams and canals were built to control(控制) the rivers.

The Golden Gate Bridge was also very hard work for workers: San Francisico Bay has very strong winds and rough waves. It has enough steel() to go around the world three times.

At 1, 815 feet, the CN Tower, in toronto, Canada, is one of the world's tallest free-standing buildings. The tower is used for TV and radio broadcasting(广播).

The Itaipu Dam goes across the Panama River at the Brazil-Paraguay border. It is the world's largest hydroelectric plant.

The Channel Tunnel joins France and England. The "Channel" is a great convenience: Cars, buses, and trucks are all carried through the tunnel by train.
