The city has many high-rise buildings. * In fact, the Sears Tower in Chicago is one of the tallest buildings in the world. Big cities like Chicago often have problems with the environment.

Thanks to him, Chicago’s environment has become cleaner and healthier. When Daley was a child in Chicago, he enjoyed playing outside in the parks. But during the 1960 s, and 1970 s, people cut down many of the trees in Chicago and built more and more buildings. When he became mayor in 1989, he decided to make the city green again. Since then, the city has planted 400, 000 trees. Mayor Daley even made a garden on the roof* of the city hall. It was the first city hall in the United States with a garden on its roof. Many other buildings in Chicago now have gardens on their roofs, too. In 2002, the city opened a center for people to learn about new ways to help the environment. At first, some people thought that Mayor Daley’s ideas would be too expensive and not very useful. But now, most people who live in the city think that his ideas are good for Chicago. People all over America are starting to learn from Chicago, and they hope to make their cities better places, too. l l l 実用英語検定試験２００５年３級第２回問題より 12/8/2020 10
