There are twenty-seven bridges over the River Thames. And the Tower Bridge is the first bridge you have to pass if you go to London from the sea. It is close to the Tower of London, from which it got its name. It is a symbol of London.

The Tower Bridge was set up over the River Thames in London in 1894 and is one of the finest and most famous bridge in the world. It is the only bridge over the River Thames that can be raised and opened in the middle. The middle part can be raised to let the huge ships pass. It used to be raised about 50 times a day, but now it is raised only 4 to 5 times a week. If you are lucky enough to see the bridge with its two arms open high in the air, you will never forget it.

The Tower Bridge stands just on the south side of the Tower of London. People often think they are of the same age. But in fact, the Tower of London was built a thousand years ago, while the Tower Bridge only has a history of over one hundred years.

The Tower Bridge was first painted chocolate brown. Then in 1977, it was painted red, white and blue. Its picture also appeared in the opening of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games held in London. So come to visit the famous bridge. You are sure to have a wonderful experience.

There are many TV programs on Chinese dishes, but few are like A Bite Of China. The seven-part documentary tells us something interesting about what Chinese eat in different cultures and places.

The different kinds of foods on TV are from sixty different places. You can see so much delicious food which can catch your eyes and stomaches. And you can also learn how to make the food. That's why the program becomes so popular.

What's more, the program is not only about food. There are also many great stories between food and people. "As the program works as a window, the documentary wants to help people around the world know more about Chinese dishes and its culture, " Liu Wei, a worker of CCTV-9 says.

You can see the documentary on CCTV-1 or on CCTV-9 if you like it.

"I am so happy!" said Gorilla. "The Great King Ape is coming for dinner!" Chimp was happy, too, and he jumped up and down on the sofa.

"I will cook a great meal for the Great King Ape!" said Gorilla. "I will cook, too!" said Chimp.

But Gorilla did not want Chimp to cook. He was sloppy. He often made a mess （搞得一团糟）. He would ruin（破坏） her great meal. So she asked Chimp to buy some drinks.

When Chimp came home, he asked, "May I cook now?"

"We still need bananas," said Gorilla. "Please pick the best bananas you can find. I want to serve sliced（切片的） bananas for dessert（甜点）."

Soon Chimp brought back a bag of bananas and put the bag on the kitchen chair. Gorilla walked into the kitchen. She did not see the bag and sat down on the chair. "Oh, no! My bananas! They are ruined!" Gorilla started to cry.

"Don't cry, Gorilla, " said Chimp. "I have an idea for a nice dessert."

Chimp took out a big bowl and a spoon. He peeled some bananas, put them in the big bowl and mashed（捣碎） them with the spoon. Then he added some milk. At last, Chimp put the mix into a small bowl.

Soon the Great King Ape arrived. He ate up all the food. "I'm so full. This is the best meal I have had!" he said.

Chimp brought out the dessert. The Great King Ape tried it "Delicious!" he said. "You are both such wonderful hosts!"

"Thank you, " said Gorilla. She smiled at Chimp. "Chimp is a wonderful cook, " she thought.
