(3) You can e a bell tower that leans (倾斜 ) in the town of Pisa, Italy. What does it lean against ? Nothing. It's called the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and it's been leaning more ever since it was built about 700 years ago. Some say that long ago the great Italian scientist Galileo dropped weights from the tower to learn how fast things fall. Even then , the tower was a leaning tower.
And today , little by little, one side of the tower keeps on sinking into the soft ground. The Leaning Tower tips (倾斜 ) about an inch every nine years. The farther it leans out of line, the faster it tips.
