I knew already that the Mall of America had been imagined by its designers, not merely as a marketplace, but as a national tourist attraction. Eleven thousand articles, the small book informed me, had been written about the mall. Four hundred trees had been planted in its gardens, $625 million had been spent to build it, and 350 stores were already in business. Three thousand bus tours were expected each year along with a half-million Canadian visitors and 200,000 Japanese tourists. Sales were expected to be at $650 million for 1993 and at $1 billion for 1996. Pop singers and film stars such as Janet Jackson and Arnold Schwarzenegger had visited the mall. It was five times larger than Red Square and it included 2. 3 miles of hallways and used almost twice as much steel as the Eiffel Tower. It was also home to the nation's largest indoor park, called Knott's Camp Snoopy.

Mass Protest Decries Bush Abortion Policies
群众抗议谴责布什的堕胎政策
by Deborah Zabarenko
WASHINGTON (Reuters)—Protesters crowded the National Mall on Sunday to show support for abortion rights and opposition to Bush administration policies on women's health issues in one of the biggest demonstrations in US history.
There was no official crowd count, but organizers claimed more than 1 million people participateD．
Pink-and purple-shirted protesters raised signs reading "Fight the Radical Right", "Keep Abortion Legal" and "US Out Of My Uterus" and covered the Mall from the foot of Capitol Hill to the base of the Washington Monument.
Speakers ranged from actresses Whoopi Goldberg, Ashley Judd and Kathleen Turner to philanthropist Ted Turner, feminist icon Gloria Steinem and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
Goldberg raised a wire coat hanger—a symbol of illegal abortions in the days before the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe vs. Wade ruling recognizing abortion rights—and told the crowd, "We are one vote away from going back to this!"
She was referring to the nine-member high court, which has frequently decided abortion- related cases on a five-four vote.
The abortion issue was the centerpiece of the march's broad protest against the policies of President Bush, including his stance on funding international family planning. No US funds may be used for any family planning agency that mentions abortion to patients.
"Vote That Smirk Out of Office," was a characteristically political placard targeting Bush, but Dorothy Smith, 76, of Eldridge, Missouri, carried an emblem she made herself—a wire coat hanger draped with a sign reading "Never Again. "
"I can remember when abortion was just as common as it is now, but it killed a lot of women," Smith saiD．
Major sponsors included stalwarts of the abortion rights movement______NARAL Pro-Choice America, Feminist Majority, National Organization for Women, Planned Parenthood Federation of America—as well as the American Civil Liberties Union, the Black Women's Health Imperative and the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health.
Some 1,400 groups attended the event, including an international contingent with marchers from 57 countries. There were medical students who carried signs saying they planned to be the next generation of abortion providers, and there was a Texas group marching behind a banner that read, "Old Broads for Choice. "
As the march wound from the Mall toward the White House and then turned onto Pennsylvania Avenue and toward Capitol Hill, abortion rights groups encountered antiabortion protesters.
These protesters carried posters showing photographs of fetuses at eight weeks gestation and signs reading "Abortion kills Babies. "
March organizers claimed double the turnout of the last big abortion rights march in 1992, which drew 500,000, according to the US Park Police, who no longer gives official crowd counts. The biggest demonstration was an anti-Vietnam War rally in 1969, which drew 600,000. The largest gathering on the National Mall was the 1976 US bicentennial celebration.
Though the march was billed as nonpartisan and included a contingent called Republicans for Choice, much of the day's rhetoric was plainly aimed at Bush, a Republican who opposes abortion in most cases.
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry vowed on Friday to champion abortion rights if electeD．He received the endorsement of Planned Parenthood's Action Fund, the organization's political fund-raising ann.
Neither Bush nor Kerry attended the march, but US Sen. Hillary Rodham Cfinton, a New York Democrat and former first lady, drew roars of approval when sh
A．Government officials estimated that more than one million people participated in the demonstration.
B．The police counted the number of people who participated in the demonstration as more than one million.
C．The organizers called on more than one million people to participate in the demonstration.
D．According to the organizers of the demonstration, there were more than one million people who took part in the demonstration.
Although the Solar Decathlon's purpose is to advertise the benefits of electricity-generating solar panels and other residential solar gadgets, the bad weather has made it hard to ignore the limitations. As fate so amply demonstrated, not every day is a sunny day, and indeed DOE's "Solar Village on the National Mall" has received very little of what it needs to nm.
Since solar is not an always available energy source, even a community consisting entirely of solar homes and businesses would still need to be connected to a constantly-running power plant (most likely natural gas or coal fired) to provide reliable electricity. For this reason, the fossil fuel savings and environmental benefits of solar are considerably smaller than many proponents suggest.
Washington, D.C. gets its share of sunny days as well, but even so, solar equipment provides only a modest amount of energy in relation to its cost. In fact, a $5,000 rooftop photovoltaic system typically generates no more than $100 of electricity per year, providing a rate of return comparable to a passbook savings account.
Nor do the costs end when the system is installed. Like anything exposed to the elements, solar equipment is subject to wear and storm damage, and may need ongoing maintenance and repairs. In addition, the materials that turn sunlight into electricity degrade over time. Thus, solar panels will eventually need to be replaced, most likely before the investment has fully paid itself off in the form. of reduced utility bills.
Solar energy has always had its share of true believers willing to pay extra to feel good about their homes and themselves. But for homeowners who view it as an investment, it is not a good one. The economic realities are rarely acknowledged by the government officials and solar equipment manufactures involved in the Solar Decathlon and similarly one-sided promotions. By failing to be objective, the pro-solar crowd does consumers a real disservice.
The Solar Decathlon is most probably the name of a ______.
A．technology
B．contest
C．strategy
D．machine
