London like Beijing is a major capital city with many interesting places and old buildings. Tourists like to see the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace when soldiers wear brightly colored uniforms. The National Gallery has a very large collection of great paintings. In the Tower of London, you can see a collection of jewels, plates and medals as well as other items. The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben are other well-known landmarks. Across the river, there is a giant wheel, called the London Eye, which you can ride on and take a bird's eye view of the city. If you are interested in history, the British Museum is full of interesting items from all over the world. Westminster Abbey has the graves (坟墓.) of many famous British people. London is also famous for its Great Theatre and there are plays to suit everyone's taste. There are also special programmes for children, and they can perform with professional actors. ( ) 1.

Once the books are open or the computer is on, phone calls are unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks unnoticed. Study is business; business comes before everything. Study anywhere or everywhere. Study times are different for different children. Some work late at night when the house is quiet. Others wake early. Still others study as soon as they come home from school. However, all agree that consistency (.持之以恒 ) is needed. Get organized. Don't waste time looking for a pencil or missing paper. Keep everything right where one can put one's hands on it. Even for a student who doesn't keep his own study area organized, a bag or a drawer is needed to put tilings in to save time. Learn how to read. The secret of good reading is to be an active reader—one who continually asks questions that lead to a full understanding of the writer's message. Use your time best. Even the best students put off their work sometimes. But when that happens, they face it. "If you want to be at the top, make sure to finish the work on time. " says Christi Anderson, a top student at Lyman High School. Take good notes and use them. Reading the text is important, but the teacher is going to test you on what he or she emphasized (强调).
