What is it about Americans and food? We love to eat, but we feel ____51____ about it afterward. We say we want only the best, but we strangely enjoy junk food. We’re obsessed with health and weight loss but face an unprecedented epidemic of obesity. Perhaps the ____52____ to his ambivalence(矛盾情结) lies in our history.

Then there was Prohibition, intended to prohibit drinking but actually encouraging more ____53____ ways of doing it.

Americans”eat, but our nation’s food has come to be ____54____ by imports --- pizza, say, or hot dogs. And some of the country’s most treasured cooking comes from people who arrived here in shackles.
Perhaps it should come as no surprise then that food has been a medium for the nation’s defining struggles, whether at the Boston Tea Party or the sit-ins at southern lunch counters. It is integral to our concepts of health and even morality whether one refrains from alcohol for religious reasons or evades meat for political reasons.

Today, New York's Empire State Building is one of the most famous structures in the world. It stands hundreds of feet taller than the skyscrapers that surround is, and is visible from far away in New Jersey and Long Island. But it isn’t the tallest building in the world. In fact, since the recent completion of One World Trade Center, it isn’t even the tallest building in New York City.
But when the Empire State Building was constructed, it was more than just another skyscraper. It was the tallest, most remarkable building on the earth--- and it stayed that way for close to forty years. To understand what people thought about the Empire State Building when it was first constructed, we can look at original newspaper reports from The New York Times. These are called primary sources, because they were written by people who witnessed history first-hand.
The Empire State Building was built at the site of the famous Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, a lavish structure that, by 1929, was no longer up to the demands of the modern world. At this time, there was fierce competition
to see who could build the tallest building on the earth .The nearby Chrysler Building was set to claim the title, but Alfred E. Smith, former New York governor, and his company wanted to steal it from them , by building something so big that it would be years before anyone could top it .
There was just one little problem :the Great Depression. The stock market crashed at the end of 1929, destroying
banks, emptying saving accounts and leaving millions out of work.. But the men behind the Empire State Building would not be stopped .They finished tearing down the old Waldorf-Astoria by the beginning of 1930, and on March 17-St.Patrick's Day---the work on the skyscraper began.
Because height was of the utmost importance, the building was designed from the top down. At the very top would
be a “dirigible morning mast.”The morning mast was planned to reach nearly 1300 feet above Fifth Avenue. Below that
