　　A

　　The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco,California is one of the world’s most beautiful bridges.It is also one of the most visited places in the world.Vehicles(车辆)cross the bridge an average of 41 million times each year.More than 1,800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago.

　　The bridge was painted“International Orange”because that color went well with the natural surroundings.The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area.But the Golden Gate Bridge was not named for its orange color.It was named for the body of water that it crosses,the Golden Gate Strait.

　　The Golden Gate Strait is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean.The Golden Gate Bridge links the city of San Francisco with Marin County,California.

　　Planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around San Francisco was growing.People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries(渡船).

　　Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project.Work began in 1934.Mr Strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building.These included the first use of “hard hats”to protect the workers’ heads and special glasses to protect their eyes.
