[ti:新概念英語第二冊] [ar:] [al:] [by:https://www.lrc.com.cn] [00:15.94]Lesson 71 [00:18.80]A famous clock [00:21.48]When you visit London, one of the first things you will see is Big Ben, [00:26.43]the famous clock which can be heard all over the world on the B.B.C. [00:32.10]If the Houses of Parliament had not been burned down in 1834, [00:37.22]the great clock would never have been erected. [00:40.66]Big Ben takes its name rom Sir Benjamin Hall [00:44.39]who was responsible for the making of the clock [00:47.52]when the new Houses of Parliament were being built. [00:51.33]It is not only of immense size,but is extremely accurate as well. [00:57.10]Officials from Greenwich Observatory have the clock checked twice a day. [01:02.72]On the B.B.C. you can hear the clock when it is actually striking [01:07.48]because microphones are connected to the clock tower. [01:11.67]Big Ben has rarely gone wrong. [01:14.55]Once,however,it failed to give the correct time. [01:18.25]A painter who had been working on the tower [01:21.12]hung a pot of paint on one of the hands and slowed it down!
