ancient prison, got its name because the walk across it gave prisoners on their way to jail a final chance
to appreciate the beauty of the city.
The view from the bridge today, however, is more likely to be of a giant billboard selling Bulgari or
Coca-cola. Beyond the billboards, monuments are being restored. The money comes from advertising
profits.
But when the Coke billboards went up this summer on buildings near the Piazza San Marco, which is
at the historic heart of Venice, there was a public debate.
"We can"t commercialize everything," said Alessandra Mottola Molfino, a Venetian. "The lesson that
goes out is that a price is for everything."
"We couldn"t stay quiet," said Maria Camilla Bianchini d"Alberigo, president of a heritage protection
association. "Too much is too much."
There needed to be rules, she added, rules that prevent the advertising billboards clashing (冲突) with
the monuments of the city.
City of officials, however, argue that without these ads, the city could not afford to maintain its heritage.
Many have been damaged by centuries of wear and are even a threat to public safety.
"I can"t turn down the image of bottle when there are pieces of the Palazzo Ducale falling to the ground,"
said Renata Codello, a Culture Ministry official.
The Culture Minister has a budget of about $ 47 million (315 million yuan) for restoration of monuments,
but Italy has a rich architectural heritage, and funds are always tight．Of that amount, $ 1.8 million was given
to the entire Vector region, which includes Venice.
Two years ago, the city signed an agreement with the Dotter Group, a company responsible for the
restoration of the Bridge of Sighs and the Palazzo Ducale．It allows it to sell ad space.
But there is a condition in the agreement: The ads should not offend public taste.
In August, Venice banned US actress Julianne Moore"s Bulgrari ad from a billboard in the Piazza San
Marco.
The photo shows a naked Moore covered with lion cubs, handbags and jewelry, Mayor Giorgio Orsoni
called the image too racy (猥亵) and unsuitable for the Piazza San Marco.
"I take account of the fact that Venice is part of the real world…but we cannot accept these Hollywood-
style images. There arc intelligent sponsors, and we need to come up with advertising that suits Venice, not
Times Square," he said in a speech.
B. widespread commercialization
C. the conflict between ads and cultural heritage
D. the difficulty of restoring monuments
B. show how much many ancient structures need restoring
C. indicate that the view is blocked by huge ads
D. create interest in the famous city
B. is worried about

D. doesn"t mind
B. They feel the ads are damaging the city.
C. The ads are usually racy and in an American style.
D. The ads don"t present a traditional view of Venice.
B. the mayor of Venice is expecting new advertising
C. the Dotter Group may stop its restoration work for lack of funds
D. people can buy Bulgaria or Coca-cola on the Bridge of Sighs

holiday resorts in Britain. It provides sophisticated (精致) entertainment, sports of every kind and cultural
facilities, all set in a position of outstanding natural beauty. Visitors can choose between luxury hotels by the
sea, with private suites (套房), swimming pools, and comfortable but less expensive guest houses. There are
camping sites, too, and hundreds of houses displaying "B & B" signs.
As well as a number of small quiet bays, which are ideal for beach barbecues (野餐) away from the crowds,
Torquay has large sandy beaches where you can buy refreshments (饮料) and hire deck chairs, boats and even
beach houses. There are large areas of grassland overlooking the sea, and miles of winding cliff paths for
walkers who just want to enjoy the scenery and what is often said to be the healthiest air in the country. For the
sportsmen and women there are opportunities not only for golf, tennis, but also for water-skiing, hang-gliding
(悬挂式滑翔机) and deep-sea fishing.
After a day in the open air, there"s lots to do in the evenings, too. There are plenty of discos, the occasional
opera or ballet, and summer variety shows in the seafront theatres. For the children, there is a beautiful model
village with a complicated railway layout which is remarkably realistic-especially when the lights are all on at
night.
Of course, there"s no need to spend your whole holidays in Torquay. Only a short drive away is Dartmoor
National Park, where you can walk for miles through dramatic (戏剧性的), unspoiled (未损坏的) countryside,
or picnic by beautiful rivers and streams. Or, nearer to home, you can sail across Tor Bay to the lovely old
fishing village of Brixham.

on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods,
all at very good prices. You can get things you won"t find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about
them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you
are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.
The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity"s appeal to aid postwar Greece
had been so successful that it had been flooded with donations (捐赠物). They decided to set up a shop to sell
some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My
favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children"s books, all 10 or
20 pence each.
Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets
paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of
unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don"t encourage this, rather ask people to bring things
in when the shop is open.
The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than ￡100
million a year, funding (帮助) medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and
disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very
good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and treat lightly on the environment.
B. its great variety of goods
C. its spirit of goodwill
D. its nice shopping environment
B. deal with unwanted things
C. raise money for patients
D. help a foreign country
B. The staff are usually well paid.
C. 90% of the donations are second-hand.
D. They are open twenty-four hours a day.
B. Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development.
