London has more than nine million visitors every year.They come and visit some of the most famous places in England: Big Ben, the Tower of London and the River Thames.
You can see some of the most interesting places in the city by getting on one of London's tour buses or you can take a ride on the London Eye.This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the River Thames.From the top you have wonderful views of the whole city.
The River Thames is London's main waterway.It has shaped the capital's landscape, history and geography.So one of the best ways of making sense of the city is to take a trip along the river.
The clock tower of the Houses of Parliament (议会大厦), Big Ben, has become one of the main symbols of London.The sound of the bell, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes, has become well-known throughout the nation.
No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of the city.After Big Ben, the Tower may be London's most visited tourist spot.It is Europe's oldest palace and prison.
Directly south is Tower Bridge, which is more than 100 years old.
Among all the palaces in London, Buckingham Palace is the most famous.It has been the main London home of the royal family since Queen Victoria moved there in 1837.You can visit some of the rooms in August and September.Most mornings of the year you can watch the soldiers outside hanging the guard.
About one hour by train out of London is the town of Windsor.Here you can visit another of the Queen's homes — Windsor Castle, Europe's biggest castle.
Sight-seeing in London is great, but it can get very tiring.So, the best way to start the day is to fill up on an English breakfast.
For starters, have an egg, bacon, sausages (香肠), tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding and fried bread.Then finish off with toast and jam, and a large pot of tea.You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel, and at many restaurants and cafes.
Or you can sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and cafes in London, and simply watch the busy world go by.

My first visit to Angkor Wat was in 1980. The country had been at war for many years and the temple was deserted and falling to pieces. Plants were growing out of the roofs, and trees were growing in the courtyards.
Today, the temple is the scene of a busy repair programme. A team of 15 Indian experts are organizing a workforce of 400 Cambodians, most of them women, who are cleaning, repairing and rebuilding parts of this temple.
As I walked through the courtyards, I noticed the Cambodian women devote hours to cleaning carefully a tiny area of stone. Boards are laid down to protect the precious painted stones while the repair work is going on. There are very few machines and little heavy equipment. Workers carry building materials in buckets at the end of long poles. Piles of stones lie in a corner of the courtyard, waiting to be replaced.
The work of cleaning the stones is watched over by three Indian chemists. It is a very slow task. First they clean the stones with brushes using buckets of a weak chemical. Then gaps between the stones are filled in. Finally another material is painted onto the stones which will protect them from water forever.
Work starts every day at 7 a. m. and goes on until late afternoon six days a week, with a break at midday.
Evening is the best time to visit the temple, after the tour groups have left. As the sun sinks lower, shadows spread across the courtyard. After sunset, the sky turns pink. The grey stone towers take on a golden colour before turning pink. Nowhere else in the world can there be such a quiet, beautiful place.
1.This passage mainly tells__________
A. the poor look of the temple Angkor Wat in 1980.
B. the history of the temple Angkor Wat
C. the repair work being done to the temple Angkor Wat
D. the difficulty in the repair work
2.According to the author, which of the following plays the least important role in the repair work?
A. The women workers. B. The Indian workers
C. Machines D. Skilled workers
3.The underlined sentence “the temple was deserted” possibly means that________
A. there was no one in the temple and it was in a poor state
B. the temple was built on desert and nobody noticed it
C. the temple was very old with a long history
D. the temple was repaired by the Cambodians, most of whom women
4.To clean the stone, how many steps should be followed?
A. Tow B. Three
C. Four D. Five

In the fall of 1988, I visited many Buddhist temples, but after a while they all began to fade from my memories. However, there was one temple that left a great impression in my heart.
It is called the Temple of the Golden Buddha. After walking around it and taking some photos, I walked over to a glass case, next to which was a typewritten page describing the history of this magnificent piece of art.
Back in 1957 a group of monks from a monastery(修道院) had to relocate a clay Buddha from their temple to a new location. The monastery was to be relocated to make room for the development of a highway. When the crane(吊车)began to lift it, the weight of was so large that it began to crack. What’s more, rain began to fall, The head monk decided to lower the statue back to the ground and cover it with a large oilcloth to protect it from the rain.
Later that evening the head monk went to check on the Buddha. He shined his flash- light under the oilcloth to see if the Buddha was staying dry. As the light reached the crack, he noticed a little beam shining back and thought it strange. As he took a closer look at this beam of light, he wondered if there might be something underneath the clay. He went to fetch a chisel and hammer from the monastery and began to chip away at the clay. As he knocked off pieces of clay, the little beam grew brighter and bigger. Many hours of labor went by before the monk stood face to face with the extraordinary solid-gold Buddha.
Historians believe that several hundred years before the head monk’s discovery, the army was about to invade the country. The monks, realizing that their country would soon be attacked, covered their precious golden Buddha with an outer covering of clay in order to keep their treasure from being robbed by the enemy.
Unfortunately, it appears that the enemy killed all the monks, and the well-kept secret of the golden Buddha remained uncovered until the day in 1957.
As I flew home I began to think to myself, “We are all like the clay Buddha covered with a shell of hardness created out of fear, and yet underneath each of us is a ‘golden Buddha’, agolden Christ, or a ‘golden spirit,’ which is our real self. Somewhere along the way, between the ages of two and nine, we begin to cover up our’ golden spirit,’ our natural self. Much like the monk with the hammer and the chisel, our task now is to discover our true spirit once again.”
1.What made the monks cover the Buddha with a large oilcloth?
A.Hiding it from being stolen.
B.Protecting it from the rain.
C.Protecting it from being damaged.
D.Avoiding being seen.
2.Why was the author greatly impressed by the golden Buddha?
A.Because he likes it very much.
B.Because it differs from others.
C.Because of its history.
D.Because of the protection of the monk.
3.What might be the best title of the passage?
A.Visiting Buddhist Temples
B.The Golden Buddha
C.Protecting Their Country
D.Relocating the Buddha
4.What advice is given to us according to the passage?
A.Covering up ourselves.
B.Finding the truth.
C.Discovering our true spirit.
D.Building up our belief.
