　　Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is one of the largest cities of the world．It is also one of the world’s most modern cities．Twice this century, the city was destroyed and rebuilt．In 1923, a major earthquake struck the city．Thousands of people were killed and millions were left homeless as buildings collapsed and fires broke out throughout Tokyo．It took seven years to rebuild the city．During World War Ⅱ, Tokyo was destroyed once again．As a result of these disasters there is nothing old Tokyo remaining in the downtown area．

　　After the war, the people of Tokyo began to rebuild their city．Buildings went up at a fantastic rate, and between 1945 and 1960, the city’s population is more than doubled．Because of the Olympic games held in Tokyo in 1964, many new stadiums, parks, and hotels were built to accommodate visitors from all over the world．As a result of this rapid development, however, many problems have arisen．Housing shortage, pollution, and waste disposal have presented serious challenges to the city, but the government has begun programs to answer them．
