Big Ben
People all over the world write to Big Ben. They even send birthday presents. One present was a bottle of oil， to help keep Big Ben running. Big Ben is not a person. It's a clock！
Big Ben is a great clock high up in a tower of the parliament (议会) building. This is the building in London where laws are made. The people of London like to see Big Ben's friendly faces. They like to hear the chimes (钟曲声) every 15 minutes. They like to hear the big bell striking on the hour. BONG！ BONG！ BONG！
Radio sends the sound of the big clock to the rest of the world. The BBC began to broadcast the chimes in 1924. Ever since， Big Ben has been a radio star.
Big Ben's story started in 1834. In that year the old Parliament building burned down. Its clock tower crashed to the ground. There had to be a new building-and a new clock.
Plans were made. They called for a "King of Clocks， the biggest and best in the world". So the clock had to be big. And it had to keep very good time.
The big clock was made in two years. Five more years went by before the clock tower was finished， then the four bells for the chimes were brought into the tower. And at last the giant (巨大的) hour bell was put in place. It rang out for the first time on July 11， 1859.
This great bell had to have a name. A meeting of Parliament was called to pick one. The talk about names went on and on. Then Benjamin Hall got up to speak. He was a big man that the others liked. By this time they were all tired. Someone shouted， "Why not call it Big Ben？"
Everybody laughed， and the meeting broke up. The name Big Ben came from then on.
