With its 775 rooms, Buckingham Palace makes regular houses look tiny. Now home to Queen Elizabeth II, it’s been the British Monarchy’s official London digs since 1837. National Geographic Kids slipped behind the guarded gates to find the palace’s coolest features.

1. FANCY FEAST

For special dinners, a team of 21 chefs whips up dishes that are served on solid gold plates. Even Her Majesty’s pet dogs receive meals of lamb and cabbage in silver bowls. Good thing the kitchen is well stocked--- the Queen welcomes about 50,000 dining guests every year.

2. CLASSY COACH

The Queen’s most attractive ride may be the Gold State Coach, parked in the palace’s Royal Mews building and used in the crowning of a king or queen, since 1821. Covered with heavy gold, it’s pulled by eight horses.

3. MOVIE NIGHT

The royal family hosts private screenings of movie in their very own cinema, sometimes seeing new films before they hit theaters.

4. WHAT’S UP, DOC?

Forget a medicine cabinet (药品柜). Buckingham Palace houses a doctor’s office run by the Queen’s physician. And surgeons have performed operations in other parts of the palace. In 1902, for instance, doctors operated on King Edward VII in a room facing the garden.

5. BEDROOMS

The palace has 52 bedrooms. Rooms such as those inside the Belgian Suite contain chandeliers(枝行吊灯), gold-gilded mirrors, fireplaces, canopy beds, and more.

6. TOP- SECRET TUNNELS

Rumor has it that secret underground tunnels connect the royal residence to other buildings in London. The paths were reportedly built during World War II when enemy bombs regularly pounded the city. Weaving deep under London’s busy streets, the tunnels would have provided the royals safe passage during an attack. But even now officials won’t reveal much about these under- the- radar routes.

1.The underlined part “whips up” probably means_______.

A. enjoys B. selects C. cleans D. cooks

2.According to the text, in Buckingham Palace________.

A. there are eight horses altogether

B. stocks of food in the kitchen hardly run low

C. the Queen’s pet dogs are fed with simple meals

D. there’s no suitable place to perform operations

3.What do we know about the tunnels in Buckingham Palace?

A. They are not well- protected.

B. They were heavily bombed.

C. They are not open to the public.

D. They are linked with other cities in Britain.

I wished I had known earlier the fact that I was a low achiever because there was a reason beyond my control. Then I needn’t have worked so hard in my late twenties and early thirties. But I just didn’t know that. I was writing and writing. I was working for no other reason than to hear people praise me.

Most people who go through university read at least twice as fast as I do. I can never tell my left from my right. I avoid dialing a telephone if I can help it, because I sometimes have to try three times before getting the number right. I hear that recording “The number you have reached is not in service” more than any man on earth.

Despite my weaknesses I view my dyslexia(difficulty in reading) as a gift, not a curse(诅咒). Many dyslexics are good at right brain, namely abstract thought, and that is what my king of creative writing is. I’m starting with nothing and coming up with something that didn’t exist before. That’s my strong point. I owe my career to Ralph, Salisbury, my writing instructor at the University of Oregon, who looked past my misspellings and gave me encouragement and hope. I just carried on and never looked back. I’m also very “visual”. This means nothing in school, but when I write books or scripts, I’m seeing everything in my imagination. I write quickly. I go like the wind and can get up to 15 pages a day. Writing is not the problem. I have no problem downloading; it is inputting where things get messed up.

The real fear I have for dyslexics is not that they have to struggle with messy input, but that they will quit on themselves before they finish school. Parents have to create victories whenever they can, whether it is music, sports or the arts. You want your dyslexic child to be able to say, “Yeah, reading is hard. But I have these other things I can do.”

1.According to the passage we know that________.

A. The author had known he was a low achiever since he was a little child

B. The author didn’t work very hard on writing in his late twenties

C. The author owed his dyslexia to his laziness in the childhood

D. The author worked hard for people’s praise

2.From Paragraph 3 we can know that ______

A. The author was grateful to his writing instructor

B. The author often complained about his dyslexia

C. The author had trouble with both inputting and outputting.

D. Having problem in inputting, the author wrote slowly.

3.Which of the following proverbs can best summarize the main idea of the passage?

A. He who laughs last laughs best.

B. Where there is a will, there is a way.

C. Reading enriches the mind.

D. When God closes a door, somewhere he opens a window.

4.What kind of man is the writer?

A. Open-minded and optimistic

B. diligent and generous

C. clever but selfish

D. kind but useless

What is home?stay? Literally it is a home for you to stay when you are not home. To be specific, home?stay provides foreign language students with the opportunity to speak native language outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a local home. Here is what you will experience in our British Home?stay Program.

What to Expect

The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.

Accommodation Zones

Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre (Zone 1) as much of central London is commercial and not residential(居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer smaller accommodation in a more crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by underground.

Meal Plans Available

◆Continental Breakfast

◆Breakfast and Dinner

◆Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner

It's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal(谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desert, fruit and coffee.

Friends

If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host's permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.

Self?Catering Accommodation in Private Homes

Accommodation on a room?only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long?stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary home?stay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much.
