Текст 1. Big Ben

The big clock on the tower of the Palace of
Westminster in London is often called Big Ben. But Big Ben is really the bell
of the clock. It is the biggest clock bell in Britain. It weighs 13.5 tons.

The clock tower is 318 feet high. You have to go up
374 steps to reach the top. So the clock looks small from the pavement below
the tower.

But its face is 23 feet wide. It would only just fit
into some classrooms.

The minute-hand is 14 feet long. Its weight is equal
to that of two bags of coal. The hour-hand is 9 feet long.

The clock bell is called Big Ben after Sir Benjamin
Hall. He had the job to see that the bell was put up.

Sir Benjamin was a big man. One day he said in
Parliament, "Shall we call the bell St. Stephen's?" St. Stephen's was
the name of the tower.

But someone said for a joke, "Why not call it Big
Ben?" Now the bell is known all over the world by that name.
