4 . Some places can create strong memories. We often clearly remember important events in our lives and link them with the places where they happened. Many people remember exactly where they were when they heard very good or very bad news. The following are a few special places that are important to Americans who look to the past, but also are thinking of the future.

New Orleans Streetcars

Many American cities once had streetcars, but not anymore.     1     Anthony Falls has been driving streetcars for 10 years, and plans to keep doing so.

“First of all, it’s one of the most, the oldest rail lines in the world.     2     Because at one time they didn’t have people of color driving the street car. So I think that’s a big part of my job.”

Historic Houses

Historic homes can interest people seeking to connect with the former owners. Barbara Klein tells us about three such homes, including a very simple, white house in Virginia.     3    

This simple house in Winchester, Virginia, opened its doors to the public in August. It was home to singer Patsy Cline, who died at the age of 30.

Patsy’s first cousin, Patricia Brannon, shows the house to visitors.     4     She is pleased that Winchester is finally honoring her cousin, nearly 50 years after she died in a plane crash.

Havre de Grace

Havre de Grace is a town in the American state of Maryland. This part of Maryland is famous for its wildlife. Hunters use decoys(用于诱捕鸟兽的动物或仿制物)to get ducks and geese to come close enough to shoot. The wooden birds are so highly respected here that Havre de Grace calls itself the decoy capital of the world. It also has a museum with more than 1,000 decoys.     5    

A．Most of them were hand made.

B．And second of all, it’s just part of being part of history.

C．I’s convenient, cheap and it gets you where you need to go.

D．Yet streetcars have been running in New Orleans for over 150 years.

E．It is where a famous singer of the nineteen. fifties and sixties once lived.

F．Her childhood memories helped return the house to the condition it was in in the late 1940s.

9 . London, with countless famous sites and all manner of food, drink, shopping, history, and culture, is definitely a wonderful city to visit.

Time Zone

Greenwich Mean Time during the winter, British Summer Time during the rest of the year (starting at Daylight Saving Time).

Best Time to Go

The best time to visit London overall is in spring, when the temperatures have warmed up, the sun has started to shine and London’s gardens and parks are looking their best. However, the reality is that the best time to travel to London depends a lot on what you’re looking for. If you’re all about taking a look inside Queen Liz’s palace, you’d better make it in summer, while winter is beautiful and festive for those looking to get their fill of Christmas markets and traditional cheer.

Things to Know

Londoners, and English people in general, have a much different manner of interacting with one another than Americans do while an American might think nothing of smiling at a stranger they pass on the sidewalk or asking about work in the first few minutes of a conversation, Londoners might consider it impolite or strange. Don’t mistake this for unfriendliness ;it’s just a cultural difference. Instead, talk about things like movies, TV shows, books, your travels, and the like, instead of work or family.

How to Get Around

Getting around London is unbelievably easy thanks to the well-maintained and extensive Underground. The Underground, unlike American transportation systems which often pay per ride or pay per length of trip, are paid in zones. Fare also varies based on time of day and the method you use to pay. It’s worth getting an Oyster card to make your life that much simpler.

1. Where is this text most probably taken from?

A．A survey.

B．A travel journal.

Although a trip to Bora Bora is very expensive, most travelers say it’s worth every penny.
