答案     Skyscrapers
    Skyscrapers were invented in the United States. / As early as the 1880s, two new technical developments made these taller buildings possible. / One development was the mechanical elevator. / It meant that people would not have to climb many steps to reach the upper floors of tall buildings. / The development of steel building technology also helped make taller buildings possible. /
    Many experts consider the Home Insurance Building in Chicago to be the first skyscraper. / This tower was about 55 meters tall. / Today this would not be considered much of a skyscraper. / But at the time, this height was striking. / The structure was built using a steel frame. / This frame was load-bearing, / meaning that the steel skeleton would support the building’s weight, not its walls. / Before this technology, a taller building required creating thicker stone walls to support its weight. / Thick walls are extremely heavy, / and allow less room for windows and light. /
