　　Big Ben is not the name of a man. It is the name of a huge clock in London. London is the capital (首府) of England. This clock has four faces. So, no matter where you stand, you can read the time on the face of Big Ben. Each face is the size of a double decker(層) bus. The hands are about four metres long. It is about the size of two people standing on top of each other. If you go to London, you may want to visit the Houses of Parliament (國會(huì)大廈). In that place you will find Big Ben sits at the top of the clock tower(塔) in the Houses of Parliament. You will probably (可能的) hear it as well as see it. The giant clock makes such a loud noise(聲音). “Ding dong, ding dong,” it goes, every quarter of an hour.

　　The clock was named after a big man. He was Sir Benjamin Hall. This man did much building work in London many years ago.
