PAGE UNIT 4　HISTORY AND TRADITIONS 英国伦敦 LONDON, England.A capital city full of art and history.An important political centre.A huge financial market place. Whatever you think about London, visiting as a tourist is very different from living there.Each part of London has its own character.Some parts are richer than others, or more industrial, or have better housing. Lets start with the centre, the “Square Mile”．This is the oldest part of London.In the past, this is where all financial business was done.Not many people live here, but 300,000 people work here every day. Moving west, we come to the West End.This busy shopping and entertainment district is bursting with things to do.Take a walk down Oxford Street, past big department stores like Selfridges and Harrods.Rents here are very high, a one-bedroom apartment may cost around 1,000 pounds (14,845 yuan) a week. The East End contains the Port of London, which historically is where many immigrants first arrived.Since London won the bid to hold the Olympics in 2012, many Londoners hope that housing, education and employment for many people in this area will improve. It is difficult to be general about London.The city is made up of a “collection of villages”， each area with its own character and community.Put them all together, and you have London, a cosmopolitan capital. 开启快乐学习之旅 英国伦敦，一座艺术气息和历史氛围浓郁的都城，一个重要的政治中心，一个巨大的金融市场。 不管你眼中的伦敦是什么样子，以游客的身份去参观旅游和居住在此有很大的不同。伦敦每个地方都各有千秋。有的地方富裕，有的地方偏工业化，有的地方则更适合居住。 我们先从金融广场启程吧。这里是伦敦最古老的地方。以前，所有的金融交易都在这里进行。居住在这里的人不是很多，但是，每天却有30万人工作在此。 继续西行，我们就来到了伦敦西区。这里是日益繁忙的购物和娱乐区。沿牛津大街步行，会经过大的百货商店，其中就有塞弗吉商店和哈罗德商店。这里的房子租金特别贵，一居室的公寓可能每周的租金大约有1 000英镑(折合人民币14 845元)左右。 伦敦东区有伦敦港，在历史上，它曾经是移民最先到达的地方。由于伦敦成功申请到了2012年奥运会的举办权，很多伦敦人希望这个区的住房、教育和工作机会能够得到改善。 要全面描述伦敦是很困难的。这个城市是一个“乡村集散地”，每个地方都有自己的特色和自己的社区。所有这一切，组成了伦敦，一个国际化大都市。 模块核心素养导航 Section Ⅰ　Listening and Speaking，Reading and Thinking Ⅰ.重点单词 1．philosophy n．哲学 2．individual adj.单独的；个别的 n．个人→individually adv.分别地； 单独地；个别地 3．heel n．足跟；(脚、袜子、鞋等的)后跟 4．kingdom n．王国；
