At about 9:30 we went to the White House. It's 【66】 the public from 10 【67】 12, and there was a long line of people 【68】 to get in. We didn't have to wait very long, because the line moved 【69】 quickly.
The White House is really white. It is painted every year. And it seems very white, because it's got beautiful lawns 【70】 around it, with many trees and shrubs. The grounds 【71】 about four square blocks. I mean, they're about two blocks long 【72】 each side.
Of course, we didn't see the whole building. The part 【73】 the President lives and works is not open to the public. But the part we saw was beautiful. We went 【74】 five of the main rooms. One of them was the library on the ground floor. On the next floor, there are three rooms named 【75】 the colors that are used in them: the Red Room, the Blue Room, and the Green Room. The walls are covered with silk 【76】 There are 【77】 of old furniture from the time 【78】 the White House was 【79】 built. And everywhere there are paintings and statues of former presidents and 【80】 famous people from history.

People may be the most interesting show in a large city. Stroll through busy streets and see what everybody else is doing. (79) You will probably see people from all over the world; you will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape, and you' II get a free fashion show, too. Window - shopping is also a safe sport -- if the stores are closed.
Check the listings in your neighborhood paper. Local colleges or schools often welcome the public to hear an interesting speaker or a good debate. The film or concert series at the local public library probably won't cost you a penny. Be sure to check commercial advertisements too. A flea market can provide hours of pleasant browsing. Perhaps you can find a free cooking or crafts demonstration in a department store.
Plan ahead for some activities. It is always more pleasant not to have people in front of you in a museum or at a zoo. You may save some money, too, since these places often set aside one or two free admission days at slow times during the week. Pretend that you are a tourist from time to time, and get to know your city all over again including the indispensable sights that people travel miles to see. If you feel like taking an interesting walk, find a free walking tour, or plan one yourself. You will see your city in a new perspective once you know more about its history or its architectural treasures. With imagination and a spirit of adventure you can quite easily find good entertainment at no cost at all.
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.There are many kinds of amusements you can enjoy with spending no money.
B.The film shown at the local public library is often free of charge.
C.Local colleges often hold meetings to debate the issues people are interested in.
D.You should be a tourist if you want to know more about the city you live in.
