Then the rubbi sh was sent to be buried or burned, am I right?(We nodded. ) Wel l, now there’s a system where the waste i s di sposed of usi ng the principl es of ecology. A gi ant machine, always greedy for m ore, swal lows al l the waste avai lable. The rubbi sh i s turned into several grades of useful m ateri al , such as “fertil izer” for the fi elds and “soul” for deserts.

SIGH TSEEING IN LONDON Worried about the tim e avail able, Zhang Pi ngyu had m ade a l i st of the si tes she wanted to see i n London. H er first deli ght was goi ng to the Tower. It was buil t l ong ago by the N orm an invaders of AD 1066. Fancy! This sol id stone, square tower had rem ai ned standi ng for one thousand years. Al though the bui l di ngs had expanded around i t, i t rem ai ned part of a royal pal ace and pri son bi ned. To her great surprise, Zhang Pi ngyu found the Queen’s jewel s guarded by speci al royal soldi ers who, on speci al ocasions, sti l wore the fourhundredyearol d uni form of the tim e of Queen Eli zabeth I. There fol l owed St Paul’s Cathedral buil t after the teri bl e fi re of London i n 1666. It l ooked spl endi d when fi rst buil t! Westmi nster Abbey, too, was very i nteresti ng. It contained statues in m em ory of dead poets and wri ters, such as Shakespeare. Then just as she cam e out of the abbey, Pi ngyu heard the fam ous sound of the cl ock, Bi g Ben, ri ngi ng out the hour. She fi ni shed the day by looki ng at the outsi de of Bucki ngham Pal ace, the Queen’s house i n London. O h, she had so mush to tel her fri ends! The second day the gi rl vi si ted Greenwi ch and saw i ts ol d shi ps and fam ous cl ock that sets the worl d tim e. What i nterested her m ost was the l ongi tude l i ne. It i s an im aginary li ne di vi di ng the eastern and western hal ves of the worl d and i s very useful for navi gati on. It passes through Greenwich, so Pi ngyu had a photo taken standi ng on either si de of the li ne. The l ast day she visi ted karl Marx’s statue i n Hi ghgate Cem etery. It seemed strange that the man who had developed m uni sm shoul d have li ved and di ed i n London. N ot onl y that, but he had worked i n the famous reading room of the Li brary of the Bri tish Museum. Sadl y the l i brary had m oved from i ts ori gi nal pl ace i nto another buil di ng and the ol d readi ng room was gone. But she was thril l ed by so m any wonderful treasures from di fferent cul tures di spl ayed in the m useum . When she saw m any vi si tors enjoyi ng l ooking at the beauti ful ol d Chi nese pots and other objects on show, she fel t very proud of her country. The next day Pi ngyu was l eavi ng London for Windsor Castl e. “Perhaps I wi l see the Queen?” she wondered as she fel asl ep.
