Lesson71 A famous clock
When you visit London, one of the first things you will see is Big Ben, the famous clock which can be heard all over the world on the B.B.C. If the Houses of Parliament had hot been burned down in 1834, the great clock would never have been erected. Big Ben takes its name from Sir Benjamin Hall who was responsible for the making of the clock when the new Houses of Parliament were being built. It is not only of immense size, but is extremely accurate as well. Officials from Greenwich Observatory have the clock checked twice a day. On the B.B.C. you can hear the clock when it is actually striking because microphones are connected to the clock tower. Big Ben has rarely gone wrong. Once, however, it failed to give the correct time. A painter who had been working on the tower hung a pot of paint on one of the hands and slowed it down !

知识笔记：

the Houses of Parliament
威斯敏斯特宫（Palace of Westminster），又称议会大厦（Houses of Parliament）是英国议会（包括上议院和下议院）的所在地。威斯敏斯特宫是哥特复兴式建筑的代表作之一，1987年被列为世界文化遗产。 该建筑包括约1,100个独立房间、100座楼梯和4.8公里长的走廊。尽管今天的宫殿基本上由19世纪重修而来，但依然保留了初建时的许多历史遗迹，如威斯敏斯特厅（可追溯至1097年），今天用作重大的公共庆典仪式，如国葬前的陈列等。
