1 . Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage Site.

I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed in mist, Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of seabirds, and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe. It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid sigs of Liverpool’s history.

As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries than most cities in Britain. At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has the best collections of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain’s No. 1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world. Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events. Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors, making the city a place of wonder.

As you would expect from such a city, there are restaurants serving food from around the world. When my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub. It is a monument to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself.

Being a World Heritage Site, my home city is certainly a place of “outstanding universal value”. It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.

7 . The Haskell Free Library and Opera House might not be as well known as the Grand Canyon or the Statue of Liberty.     1    . Completed in 1904, the building is stationed directly between Stanstead, Quebec, and Derby Line, Vermont. with the official US -Canada borderline running right across the library's floor.

Martha Stewart Haskell and her son, Colonel Horace Stewart Haskell, both Canadians, built the building as a tribute(悼念) to Mrs Haskell's late husband, Carlos.    2    .

While the library’s official entrance is on the US side of the building, most of the books are on the Canadian side.    3    . The Opera House is similarly split, with most of its seats in the US and its stage in Canada. As Atlas Obscura reported, it is often said that the Haskell is the only library in the US with no books, and the only opera house in the country with no stage.

Passports and other forms of identification aren’t required to cross from country to country in the library, though the Haskell's website notes that the border inside the building“ is real and it is enforced”.     4    . If they don't, they risk possible detention and fines.

Even beyond the building's unique position,library director Nancy Rumery told CTV News that Haskell staffers-Canadian and American alike-consider the institution to be like any other library in the world

“We’re just trying to be the best library we can.    5    .” she said. “These are all our neighbors and we do our very best to help them on their life-long learning journey. ”

A．The Haskell is full of mysterious places.

B．The Haskell is divided between the two countries.

C．Visitors have access to a variety of cultural resources.

D．Visitors are expected to their side of the border after a visit.

E．It’s undoubtedly one of America's most unique tourist attractions.

F．Our community is made up of people from two different countries

G．The family hoped that citizens would use it as a “center for learning and cultural enrichment”
