43.Bridges are built over roads,rivers,or railways.They appeared a long time ago.Back then,they were built with stones,ropes,logs,and vines.Some were very simple,like a footbridge made out of a big tree.But today,bridges are bigger,stronger,and more modern.This is because we have better technology today. Bridges are a mix of maths,physics,design,and architecture.They are designed by skilled engineers and they take years to build. Bridges must be so strong that they can support not only their own weight,but also the weight of the people and vehicles(交通工具).People build it in a way that protects them from earthquakes,strong winds,and freezing. The three main types of bridges are arch,beam and suspension.Let's take a closer look at each one. Arch(拱)bridges were invented a long time ago by the Romans.They were built out of stone or brick,and stood on support structures in the shape of arches.Beam bridges are horizontal(水平的)beams supported by columns.These bridges are very old as well.Suspension bridges have a tower(索塔)on either side.The towers are connected by cables.They are more modern,with the first ones being used in the early 19th century. People all know that the oldest bridge in the world is the Zhaozhou Bridge in China.It's an arch bridge made out of stone that was built in 605 A.D.But if you're looking for the world's longest bridge,it would be the Danyang-kunshan Grand Bridge.It is also in China.It has a length of over 164.85 kilometres!
