   Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is one of the largest cities in the world. It is also one of the world’s most modern cities. Twice this century, the city was destroyed(破坏) and rebuilt(重建). In 1823 a big earthquake hit the city. Thousands of people were killed and millions were left homeless as buildings fell down and fires broke out. It took seven years to rebuild the city. During World War II, Tokyo was destroyed once again. As a result(结果) of these disasters (灾难), there is nothing of old Tokyo remaining(保留) in the downtown area(市中心).

   After the war, the people of Tokyo began to rebuild their city. Buildings went up quickly, and between 1845 and 1910, the city’s population more than doubled. Because of the Olympic Games held in Tokyo in 1960, many new stadiums(体育馆), parks and hotels were built to accommodate(接纳) visitors from all over the world. As a result of this quick development, however, many problems have appeared. Housing shortage(短缺), pollution, and rubbish have become serious challenges to the city, but the government has begun several programs to answer them.
