9、ich boasts of being “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens time.

10、losophy, politics or any other of the countless subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet! Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand

11、books, the collector must venture off the beaten track, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers come along each morning and pour out their sacks of books onto small hand carts. And the collectors, some

12、 professionals and some amateurs, have been waiting for them.

16、 places in the world. Vehicles（车辆）cross the bridge an average of 41 million times each year. More than 1800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago. The bridge was painted “International Orange” because that color went well with the natural surroundings.

17、The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area. But the Golden Gate Bridge was not named for its orange color.

19、gineer for the project. Work began in 1934. Mr. Strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building.

28、d more lights. In 1884, there were 120 light bulbs on his tree. The lights were not cheap. In 1900, a string of 16 bulbs cost $12. That was a lot of money back then, because people made less.
