There are a lot of great interesting places in London. It is one of the most visited cities in the world. The problem, of course, is that all of the most popular tourist spots will have large crowds and lengthy lines that you will have to wait in.

The following four spots are great places to visit where you won’t run into large crowds of people.

 | Bethnal Green This museum has one of the best collections of ancient toys worldwide. Some of them date back to the seventeenth century. Obviously it’s a great choice if you have children. There are also activity areas to entertain visitors. However, never imagine that adults won’t appreciate a visit. The collection is quite impressive and well worth taking a look at. |

He collected all kinds of unusual things that are beyond your imagination.

This time I can write a long e-mail. I broke (摔断) my leg last Friday at the zoo. Mom says I have to be in bed for a month.
What are you doing this weekend? Staying (待) here in bed is making me bored (烦闷的). I’m not riding my bike, I’m not dancing, and I’m not running. I’m just watching TV or reading all the time.
Today is Sunday and my grandparents come and see me. They give me lots of books. Now they are in the yard (院子) listening to music and playing cards with my brother. My parents are in the kitchen making dinner and my sister is playing computer games in the study room.
I’m writing this e-mail in my bedroom. I don’t know what to do next. You see? I’m not having a lot of fun … So, please write very, very soon.
Love,
Emma

【推荐1】Should Museum Entry Be Free?
 | |
| Comments | With International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers: Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket? Let us know your view. Museums are not only there for enjoyment; they are education. This is why they must be free. While museums need a huge amount of money to operate, let the wealthy pay for it. The idea of a person or child interested in art not being able to view it because of cost is wrong. Krista Chen(US)—Age 15 Free entry does not attract people or encourage them to appreciate art. Generally people respect things that are difficult or costly to get. Museums should require regular visitors to pay a fee, but provide free tickets as prizes for high-achieving students who can appreciate them more. Fred Smith(New Zealand)—Age 14 Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone, rich or poor. People should never be asked to pay an entrance fee. Rob Sanchez(Australia)—Age 17 There are no simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums stay open. But companies and businessmen should also provide museums with more money and other support. They have a social responsibility too. Amber White(UK)—Age 16 I think museums and art galleries should all be free to the public. I do, however, think twice a year the museums should organize money-raising events to help pay for the cost of staying open. Li Mishao(China)—Age 15 |
| A．5. | B．4. | C．3. | D．2. |
| A．Li Mishao. | B．Rob Sanchez. | C．Fred Smith. | D．Krista Chen. |
| A．It’s quite a new website. | B．It was started in Australia. |
| C．It mainly discuss scientific topics. | D．It’s generally for young readers. |

【推荐3】There are many interesting places to visit around the world. Here are some of them.
The Piano House
This house in Anhui Province looks like a large piano, with a glass violin in the middle. Some students from Hefei University of Technology built it and hoped to bring the city more tourists. If you are a music lover, don’t miss it.
Singing Roads
In Japan, some roads can play music as cars travel over them. Grooves(凹槽) are carefully cut into the road. The spaces between the grooves make different music as cars touch them. Drivers can hear the beautiful songs best when driving at 50 kilometers an hour.
And all say they can make them keep awake(清醒的) when they feel tired.
