Do you know Big Ben? Big Ben is not the
name of a man. It's the name of a big clock in London. This clock has four
faces. So, no matter which direction( 方向) you stand
in, you can read the time on the face of Big Ben. The minute hand on
each face is about four metres long. If you go to London, you may want to visit
the Houses of Parliament(国会大厦). In that place, you will
find Big Ben sits at the top of the clock tower. You will probably hear it and
see it. The big clock makes such a loud sound. It strikes every quarter of an
hour. Big Ben has been the most famous symbol of London.
