There is more to tourism in Britain than you might think.

When you think of tourist sites in Britain, what do you think of? Big Ben and the Tower of London? Lock Ness? Shakespeare’s birthplace at Strafford-upon-Avon? There are many famous tourist attractions in the UK and they attract millions of visitors each year. But along with the famous names there are thousands of other interesting places that are only open to the public for a few days each year. Heritage Open Days takes place each September and lets the public visit places that would normally be out of bounds. Among the thousands of historic sites there are castles and factories, town halls and churches. Here we look at some of the places that most tourists might not know about.

These Roman baths are almost two thousand years old and a fascinating insight into the history of the city but they aren’t often open to visitors because they are under a clothes shop and a shop that sells baked potatoes!

Tennis Club --- Birmingham

Edgbaston Tennis Club opened in 1860 and is the oldest tennis club in the world. Visitors can see the club’s collection of tennis clothes and equipment and learn about the game’s rich history.

Ardman Animation --- Bristol

The studios that produced the famous Wallace and Gromit animated films open its doors to the public to let people find out more about how the films are made.

Paddock Wood --- Kent

A family house where some of the rooms are unchanged since the 1920s. The home’s owner, Sarah Hamilton, is happy to open her doors to the public, saying “I’m passionate about history and I love taking to people.”

Celebrities(名人) are more in love with themselves than the average person，according to a new study．

In case anyone needed proof, a new study supports the widely held perception：Famous people are more narcissistic(自我陶醉的)，which means they are more in love with themselves than the average person is．That is the conclusion drawn by Drew Pinsky and S．Mark Young of the University of Southern California，whose study of 200 celebrities will appear in the Journal Of Research in Personality．

It is not the entertainment industry that turns stars into narcissists，the study found．Rather, it suggests，the self-adoring(自恋的)people seek jobs in show business．The study, whose subjects were a11 celebrities from Pinsky’s‘Loveline’radio show, found that reality TV stars were the most narcissistic of all celebrities．Female stars were also more likely than the male stars to exhibit narcissistic characteristics．

It’s “common sense” that celebrities are narcissists，said Jeremy Ritzlin，a longtime Hollywood psychologist who has not seen the study．“Everyone knows famous people are really in love with themselves，”he said．“So it would be natural for narcissists to be attracted toward the stage and spotlight，where other people will also think highly of them．”

Pinsky, an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at USC’S Keck School of Medicine，said narcissists desire attention，are overconfident，behave strangely and lack sympathy．“However, they are easily-liked，especially on first meeting，are outgoing and perform well in public，” added Pinsky, who has hosted the radio show“Loveline”for 20 years．

Celebrity guests appearing on the program were randomly chosen to participate in the study．They anonymously(匿名地)took the Narcissistic Personality Inventory test．which rates self-love levels based on seven components：superiority, exhibitionism，entitlement，vanity，authority, exploitativeness，and self-sufficiency．

1.Who are most likely to be self-adoring in the study?

A．The women stars．    B．The men stars

C．The average people．  D．It is not mentioned in the passage．

2.According to the forth paragraph．the fact “celebrities are narcissists”             .

A．is common in the entertainment industry

B．is a misunderstanding of Jeremy Ritzlin

C．is known to most of the people

D．is unreal on the stage

3.According to Pinsky, narcissists may NOT               .

A．hope to attract attention

B．be kind to poor people

C．believe in themselves

D．be liked by others easily

4.How were the celebrities surveyed in the study?

A．They were interviewed by Drew Pinsky and S．Mark Young．

B．They were invited to the University of Southern California．

C.They appeared on Pinsky’s‘Loveline’radio show．

D．They took the Narcissistic Personality Inventory test．
