Chicago
1. Chicago is the nation's second largest city, the most important Great Lakes port and
the world's largest railroad terminal. It lies about 800 miles inland 1 from the Atlantic and
for centuries was known only to Indians as a small trading post2 for fur trappers3. But
after the opening of the Eerie canal in 1825 Chicago soon became a harbour and
started to grow rapidly.
2. The construction of railroad in the 1840s still furthered its unprecedented growth.
Chicago soon turned into the largest grain and meatmarket of the country. This
encouraged the farmer to grow more wheat and raise more cattle. Thus the gigantic
transportation system with Chicago at the center helped the conversion of farming into
an industry which, in turn, gave impetus to the appearance of countless inventions. In
the 35 years between the end of the Civil war and the end of the century, the U.S.
Patent Office granted more than half-a-million patents. And so Chicago became a major
industrial city with a permanent labour force.
3. After 1850 housing posed the most serious urban problem. The extremely high cost
of urban territory spurred the architects to build upward. They tried to find a new form of
their buildings. Soon a "race to the skies" was on in all the great cities of America, and
the words "skyscraper" and "skyline" entered the language. The first building of this kind
was erected in 1883. Thus the skyscraper was Chicago's contribution to American
architecture.
4. However, all efforts to relieve radically the overcrowding in Chicago slums practically
failed for the population continued to grow rapidly and by 1950 reached 3,620,000.
5. Chicago in our days is not only a major industrial city but also an important cultural
center. It has nearly 100 institutions of higher learning as well as a number of interesting
museums, picturesque parks, good recreational and sport facilities. Among the famous
skyscrapers are the 100 story John Hancock Center and the 110-story Sears Tower, which rank as the world's tallest building.

Los Angeles
1. Los Angeles was founded by the Spanish in 1781 and for a long time developed very
slowly. In 1847 when the American forces captured Los Angeles its population was only
1,500. It remained a small community until the 1890s when the discovery of huge
reserves of oil in the area greatly stimulated its growth. The opening of the Panama
Canal in 1914 turned Los Angeles into a major pacific1 sea-port and brought further
expansion.
2. The 1920s saw an unprecendented growth of the motion-picture industry2, mainly
due to an exceptionally favourable climate with a lot of sunny days and very little rainfall.
It is also the climatic conditions and exceedingly fertile soil that made Los Angeles the
"garden spot" of the United States that produces most of its citrus fruit.
