Answer the
questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
London, the capital city of the UK, has a
population (人口) of about 7，500，000.
From about 1800 until 1945, it was the biggest city in the world, but now;
there are many cities with more people.
London is famous for many things. Tourists
come from all over the world to visit its famous buildings and hear the famous
clock, Big Ben.
Like many big cities, London has problems
with traffic and pollution. Over 1,000, 000 people a day use the London
underground, but there are still too many cars in the streets. The air isn't
clean, but it is cleaner than it was 100 years ago.
For children, maybe one of the best things
about London is the parks. There are five in the city centre and a number of
large parks outside it. In the parks, people can play games, enjoy the music and
sometimes even watch fireworks.
