9、onated the largest statue in the world, Liberty Enlightening the World, to the United States of America. The statue would celebrate its century of independence. To ship it, the statue was broken down into 350 pieces. And now, spread across Bedloes Island in New York Harbour, it sat in 214 wooden pac
10、king boxes. The problem was that New York had no money to re-assemble it. Six other cities, less affected by the recent economic decline, had the money and bid to build it. But a Hungarian immigrant, Joseph Pulitzer, the owner of Americas biggest newspaper called the World, wouldnt let “Liberty” go.
11、 When he heard that the Statue of Liberty was about to die from lack of funds, he saw his chance. Pulitzer set the fund-raising goal of the World at $100, 000. In its pages he laughed at the rich, thus increasing the papers appeal among working-class people, and firmly planted the idea that the stat
12、ue was a monument not just for New York City but, indeed, for all of America.

Let us respond in like manner. ” The circulation of the World increased by almost 50, 0
14、00 copies. African American newspapers joined in the effort, encouraging their readers to contribute to a monument that would, in part, celebrate the end of slavery. So the money poured in, as single-dollar donations from grandmothers and pennies from the piggy banks of schoolchildren. On August 11,
15、 1885, the front page of the World announced, “ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS!” The goal had been reached, even slightly beyond, thanks to more than 120, 000 contributions. 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。自由女神像是法国送给美国人民的礼物, 由于资金问题, 女神像的装配出了问题。美国报业大亨 Pulitzer 为此做了很多努力, 最后他终于为自由女神像筹集了足够的资金。1.
