使用地锚应注意什么问题？
参考答案：
（1）使用地锚前要根据土质情况，按设计尺寸开挖土方，开挖的基槽要规整。
（2）地锚埋设高地点要平整，不潮湿，不积水。因为积水渗入坑内会泡软回填土壤，降低土壤的摩擦力。
（3）拉绳与地锚连接处要用薄铁板垫好，防止由于应力过分集中而损伤地锚。
（4）使用地锚时，只许在规定的方向受力，其他方向不许受力，更不能超载使用。
（5）重要的地锚经过试拉后，才能正式使用。
（6）地锚附近（特别是前面）不许取土。地锚拉绳与地面水平夹角在30°左右。
（7）利用固定建筑物作地锚时必须经过核算，证明安全可靠，才能使用。
Passage Two
| Although the American civilization took over and replaced the frontier over a century ago, the heritage of the frontier is still evident in the United States today. Many people are still fascinated by the frontier because it has been particularly important in shaping American values. For many years, the frontier experience was romanticized in popular movies and television shows that featured cowboy heroes fighting Indian villains. Little attention was given to the tragic story of what really happened to Native Americans. Today, most Americans are more aware of the darker side of the settling of the continent, when thousands of Native American Indians were killed, their lands were taken, and much of their culture was destroyed. The American frontier consists of the relatively unsettled regions of the United States, usually found in the western part of the country. Here, both land and life were more rugged and primitive than in the more settled eastern part. As one frontier area was settled, people began moving farther west into the next unsettled area, sweeping aside the Native Americans as they went. By settling one frontier area after another, Americans moved across an entire continent, 2 700 miles wide. They came to believe that it was their destiny to control all the land, and eventually they did. The Native Americans were given small portions of land called reservations to control, but the United States government broke many promises and created much misery for the Indian nations. Recently, Americans have come to a more balanced view of the settling of the West. However, many Americans still see many aspects of the frontier, its people and their beliefs, as good, inspiring examples of traditional American values in their original and purest form. How did the frontier movement, which lasted more than two centuries, help to shape these basic American values To be sure, the frontier provided many inspiring examples of hard work as forests were turned into towns, and towns into large cities. The competitive race for success was rarely more colorful or adventurous than on the western frontier. Individualism, self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage of America. Throughout their history, Americans have tended to view the frontier settler as the model of the free individual. In the United States, where freedom from outside social controls has traditionally been valued, the frontier has been idealized, and it still serves as a basis for a nostalgic view of the early United States, a simpler time that was lost when the country became urbanized and more complex. |
