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 not 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.
Apainter who had been working on the tower hung a pot of paint on one of the hands and slowed it down !

练习感悟：周一 周末没有给父亲打电话，突然很想他了，中午给他打吧。晚上放学回来大宝吐了，是昨天下午我给她拖掉太多，受凉了，唉，一不上心，就让孩子不舒服了，把晚上吃的东西全吐了，好在她精神尚好，睡一觉应该就好了。我希望她们有强大的身体。
