The Eiffel Tower is an iron tower built on the Champ de Mars beside the River Seine in Paris.
The tower has become a global icon of France and is one of the most recognizable structures in the
world.
The Parisian landmark is the tallest structure in Paris and one of the most recognized
structures in the world and is named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel. 6,719,200 people
visited the tower in 2006 and more than 200,000,000 since its construction. This makes the tower
the most visited paid monument in the world. Including the 24 m (79 ft) antenna, the structure is
325 m (1,063 ft) high (since 2000), which is equivalent to about 81 levels in a conventional building.
When the tower was completed in 1889 it replaced the Washington Monument as the
world's tallest structure — a title it retained until 1930 when New York City's Chrysler Building
(319 m-1,047 ft tall) was completed. The tower is now the fifth-tallest structure in France and the
tallest structure in Paris, with the second-tallest being the Tour Montparnasse (210 m-689 ft),
although that will soon be surpassed by Tour AXA (225.11 m -738.36 ft).
The structure of the Eiffel Tower weighs 7,300 tons. Depending on the ambient temperature
the top of the tower may shift away from the sun by up to 18 cm (7 in) due to thermal expansion of
the metal on the side facing the sun. The tower also sways 6-7 cm (2-3 in) in the wind.

The Government Should Provide Rehabilitation Program for Drug Users.

Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main things they should
get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the government should provide rehabilitation for
them.

Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the drugs.
Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out from traps, which they might
accidentally step on.

If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the problem as drug users will
still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed to them. Providing rehabilitation programs
for drug users and forcing them to participate in the programs is better than only arresting them and
doing nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and wholesalers should be imprisoned.

26. Most drug users get drugs from …


a. jails
b. peddlers
c. traffickers
d. wholesalers
e. rehabilitation centre

28. "...drug users will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed to them."

b. Treated
