London has a population of over 7,000,000. From about the year 1800 until World War II, London was the biggest city in the world. But now there are many cities which are much bigger than it. London is famous for many things. Tourists come from all over the world to visit its famous buildings and hear the famous clock, Big Ben. Like many big cities, London has problems with traffic and pollution which stop the city from developing. Over one million (百万) people a day use the London underground, but there are still too many cars on the streets. The air isn’t clear, but it is anyhow cleaner than it was 100 years ago.

Every year, many people in the world travel to this African country to watch the animals closely. But do you know how they travel? By bus—This is the most common way. When people get on a bus, they’ll find that the bus is a little strange. It is different from the buses we often see. There are no big windows at all, but some small windows. And it looks like a cage. What is it used for? Oh, people can use it to watch animals, especially those dangerous animals, and take photos. We know that people are most interested in lions. So when two buses meet, the drivers will stop and ask each other whether they have found lions. By boat—We can often see many people are on a boat, enjoying the beautiful scene along a river or a lake, and they can also enjoy hippos（河马）and crocodiles from a nearer distance. By hot-air balloon（热气球）—In the early morning, when the sun is beginning to rise, a large hot-air balloon is also starting its journey. Taking a hot-air balloon makes most of the travelers excited. After some time, the balloon will land in a certain place, and the waiters will serve people a delicious and special breakfast. But the cost of taking a hot-air balloon is also very high. A person should pay 400 dollars for an hour’s trip. 11．Which is the most common way of traveling in Tanzania? A．By bus. B．By plane. C．By boat.
