阅读小练习 1 Walking around the small English city of Bath is like walking around a living museum. You cant help breathing in the history and staring in wonder at the beautiful old buildings that line the streets. Its name comes from the fact that it was built around a natural spring, now in the heart of the city. It was the Romans who, 2,000 years ago, built baths using the naturally hot water that came up from the ground. One of the major attractions of the city is the Roman Baths that still function as they did in the past. Located in the southwest of the country, the city is surrounded by the green and pleasant hills England is famous for. The first people to live in the area were the original Britons(英国人), called the Celts. They were also attracted to the area by the springs. One of English literatures greatest figures, Jane Austen, lived in Bath from 1801 to 1806. She knew the city so well that she based two of her novels, “Northanger Abbey”(诺桑觉寺) and “Persuasion”(劝导), in the city. Today Bath is protected as a World Heritage Site. It is a great place to visit to really get a feel of how an English city must have felt and looked like 200 years ago. You can wander around and lose yourself in the small cobbled alleyways(石子小巷) that lead from one historic site to another. Along any route you will find traditional English pubs serving real beer and good home-cooked food. No trip to England would be complete without a visit to Bath. 64.
