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

听力原文: Hi Sarah, it's me, John. Something's come up at work and I won't be able to meet you until 6. That won't really give us enough time to have dinner before the 7 o'clock movie, like we planned.

If we go before the movie, we'll have to rush, and worry about making it to the theater on time.
If we wait until afterwards, we can relax, take our time, and enjoy our meal. Anyway, I'm at the office; give me a call when you get this message. Bye!

The name of the earliest palace was Placentia. Its windows were made of glass--the first in England. Herry Va loved placentia. But Henry understood the future of his country, too: he knew that England must be strong at sea. So he started two big shipyards at Greenwich, and for 350 years the ships made there were the best in the world.
In 1649, a war started in England and for eleven years there was no king. When the war ended, Placentia was falling down. So King Charles 1I built a new and bigger palace, which is now the Royal (皇家的) Naval College and is open to the public.
At this time, Charles was worried about losing so many of his ships at sea: Their sailors didn't know how to tell exactly where they were. So in 1675 Charles made John Flamsteed the first Astronomer (天文台) Royal, to try to find the answer. Flamsteed worked in a new Observatory (天文台) on the high ground in Greenwich Park. With a telescope he made himself, Flamsteed could look all around the sky. And he did, night after night, for twenty years. Carrying on Fiamsteed's work a hundred years later, an astronomer called Harrison (1693 - 1776) finally made a clock which told the time at sea; and helped sailors to know where they were. You can see Harrison’s clock, still working, in Greenwich’s museum of the sea. Because of Flamsteed’s work, every country in the world now tells its time by Greenwich time.
Who first lived in the place that is called Greenwich today according to this passage ? ______.
A.Henry Ⅷ
B.Romans
C.Charles Ⅱ
D.the Saxons
