Every day thousands of Londoners set their watches by Big Ben. Every 15 minutes they can h

ear the bells of Big Ben. This most famous clock in the world is always correct. Well, almost always. In 1976 the bells in the clock tower did not ring for 51 hours. It was the first time for 20 years that Big Ben had been silent for so many hours.

It was the first time for 20 years that Big Ben had been silent for so many hours. Three men always came at once if there was any problem with Big Ben. But they were not necessary this time. Mr. John Vernon, director of the company of clockmakers who looked after Big Ben, stopped the bell himself because painters were coming to the clock room to give it a new coat of paint at the top of the 66-meter tower.

"My job is very important, "said Mr. Vernon." Everyone looks at the clock. If something, everyone wants to know why. "But Mr. Vernon had to stop the bells. Tile wheels that moved the bells were very close to the walls, and the bell swung only two centimeters away from the wall the painters were going to paint. That's why the bells in the clock tower did not ring for so many hours.

Londoners set their watches by Big Ben because ______.

A．it can be seen from all parts of London

B．the bells can be heard every 15 minutes

C．the famous clock is almost always correct

D．they like this clock better than any other

Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe

(订阅) to as many as two or three newspapers. But why do people read newspapers？

Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings-battles-lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown (推翻) or killed-took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.

Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories and, of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.

Newspapers often have information on gardening, cooking and fashion as well as a small but very popular section on jokes and cartoons(漫画).

What is the text about？

A．Advertisements are the most important part in newspapers.

B．It introduces newspapers past and today and its contents.

C．There is a lot of useful information on newspapers.

D．People like newspapers very much.
