61. Tedy, a young official who is quite interested in photo-taking and sculpture. He spends all his spare time doing his favorite things.

62. Rusial, a beautiful lady with a fair hair, who gives painting lectures to the students in a college. She herself is a super fan of such artists as Da Vinci, Micheangelo, Raphael.

63. Mr. Green, a free careerist, makes a living by writing short plays which mostly tell the history of Great Britain. Besides, he is also a heavy coffee drinker.

64. Tim, 18 years old, a pre-engineering boy student, full of energy and rich in imagination.

65. Ms Denis, a wildlife lover. She takes an active part in protecting the earth and enjoys herself by doing sports.

A. Explore the natural history of the planet Earth from the prehistoric era to the present day at one of London’s most visited museums. In 1881, the Natural History Museum moved to its present venue. Designed by Alfred Waterhouse, this building is now one of London’s most beautiful and most recognized. These holy halls now house more than 300 years’ worth of collections, with over 68 million specimens(标本). Broadly divided into Life and Earth galleries.

B. The British Museum is one of London’s top tourist attractions as well as being a major scholarly resource and Royal history. Its collection was given to the nation in 1753 and the Museum’s distinctive Greek revivalist structure was built during the 19th Century. The collection expanded massively during the hey-day（全盛期）of the British Empire. And if you haven’t got time for a proper visit, drop in for a coffee at the lovely Court Restaurant. Admission: free.

C. This magnificent Georgian edifice, found on the northern side of Trafalgar Square, houses a massive collection of Western European art. Designer Marc Newson presents two new exhibitions to his gallery. The National Gallery, shows the development of the artists. This exhibition traces the rise of the Italian Renaissance artist, and gathers more than 100 pieces of his collection.

D. There are mausoleums, catacombs and richly decorated tombs of outstanding writers, politicians and artists in the overgrown west section of this woodland graveyard. Celebrity dead bodies include Karl Marx, Michael Faraday and Christina Rossetti. Be aware that you must purchase a photography license in order to take photographs within the cemetery. Take advantage of the special guided tours.

E. The Science Museum’s seven floors offer opportunities to explore the history of technology as well as to glimpse the future. Setting off from Launchpad, where you can get to grips with the laws of science, you can move on to a vast display of interactive galleries which demand audience participation—whether it be of the hands-on or brain-stimulating kind. From medical history to nuclear physics, it’s all covered. Challenging the idea amongst many children that science is boring, various things to press, touch, watch and think about make this museum a firm favourite with the kids.

F. Mainly a decorative arts museum, the V&A is a comprehensive collection of everything from sculpture to photographs, from Chinese art to art decor. Among others, the V&A houses the recently redecorated Raphael Gallery, home to seven tapestry cartoons by Raphael that are among Britain’s greatest art treasures and part of the Royal Collection. There is a lot to see from the Becket Casket to the Canon photography.
