“Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled  masses yearning to breathe free…

Send these, the homeless,…to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

The Stature of Liberty, with those immigrant-welcoming words by writer Emma Lazarus engraved(刻)upon it, turns 125 Friday and begins carrying the torch for technology.

Lady Liberty, whose real given name is “Liberty Enlightening the World,”will get webcameras placed around her torch, showing live vistas(遠景) of the New York City skyline and New York Harbor, her torchand the view looking down. “You don’t have to be afraid of her crown, face and historic Fort Wood all from your computer or smartphone,” said David Luchsinger. Jane Ahern, the spokeswoman, says visitors can even see themselves at the statue’s base via webcamera, or tell mom and dad back home to look for them.

Go to nps.gov/stli to join in the birthday celebration Freday when the five webcameras are due to be switched on. Also on schedule:125 immigrants are due to be sworn in, Broadway stars will be present and actress Sigourney Weaver has been tapped to read the Lazarus poem. The public can try to attend the festivities by taking a ferry. You can also take an e-tour of Lady Liberty online.

The statue, a gift to the US from the people of France, has become an international symbol fo democracy and freedom. After 9.11, it was closed for security reasons. The pedestal(基座) reopened in 2004, and the statue began readmitting visitors in 2009.

The birthday ceremony is also a temporary farewell. The statue is due to close Saturday for uop to a year so that new stairways and elevators can be istalled among other improvements. However, Liberty Island will remain open. Ahern says 86% of visitors to the island never step inside the Statue of Liberty.

67. Via webcamera, vistors to the Statue can probably see the following EXCEPT  .

A. Lady Liberty

B. Fort Wood

C. Themselves

D. Their parents at home

68. The third paragraph mainly tells us about  .

A. Lady Liberty’s birthday celebration

B. Broadways stars’ performances

C. an open ceremony for webcameras

D. an activety only for visitors online

69. The underlined word “tapped” can be replaced by  .

A. striken

B. selected

C. touched

D. monitored

70. What will happen immediately after the celebration?

C. Some improvements will be done to the Statue.

D. Most visitors to the island will step into the Statue.
