Answer 1

分析 全文大意：
你有昵稱嗎？我們大多數(shù)人因?yàn)槲覀兊耐饷�、服飾、或者是個性而有自己的昵稱．但是在城市里，他們的昵稱的意思遠(yuǎn)不止這些．許多大城市擁有昵稱，像是紐約--大蘋果，倫敦--霧都，以及羅馬--不朽城．為什么城市擁有這些昵稱呢？
在20世紀(jì)20年代，在紐約有許多比賽．人們把這些比賽的獎品稱為蘋果．作家John J．Eitz Gerald是第一個稱紐約為大蘋果的人．因?yàn)榧~約是許多人們夢想的地方，是最大的獎品．
對于羅馬來說，就如昵稱中暗示的那樣，答案是簡單的．羅馬人相信世界無論發(fā)生什么．羅馬都會永遠(yuǎn)繼續(xù)下去．羅馬在2000多年里是重要的權(quán)利中心．
對于倫敦，在維多利亞時代就有空氣問題，在之后的1952年，嚴(yán)重的空氣污染讓一萬人生病．但是現(xiàn)在倫敦的空氣已經(jīng)變好了．聽起來很有趣吧，你的城市有昵稱嗎？
