The world's first subway was built in London in 1863. At the time, the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London.The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for
horsecarriages to getthrough.The city officials were interested in trying tomake it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day.If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work, they would relocate their homes outside of the city. This would help ease(减轻) the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems,the idea of the London Underground, the first subway system, was born.
The plans for building the underground met with several problems and delays, but the fast track was finally opened in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the fast underground track which was 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) long.About 30,000 people got on the subway the first day.Riders were treated to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed), and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars.However, the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot (煤灰), as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe.Even with its problems,riding in the Underground did catch on. It carried 9 million riders in its first year.

Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of theclock in London. The name was given in honor of SirBenjamin Hall,who was in charge of the work whenthe bell was built in 1856. It didn't strike until 3years later.
The clock has become a landmark of the UnitedKingdom and London, particularly in the visual media(可视媒体). When a televisionor film-maker wishesto quickly show a non-UK audience a certain locationin Britain,a popular way to do so is to show an imageof the Clock Tower.
The Clock Tower is a focus of New Year celebrations in the United Kingdom, with radio and TVstations tuning to its chimes (报时钟声) to welcome the start of the year.
Londoners who live a proper distance from the Clock Tower and Big Ben can, by means of listening to the chimes both live and on the radio or television, hear the bell strike thirteen times on New Year's Eve. This is possible because the speed of sound is a lot slower than the speed of radio waves.
Big Ben has appeared in many films. In the 1978 version of The Thirty-Nine Steps, the hero attempted to halt the clock's progress to prevent a linkedbomb blowing up by hanging from the minute hand ofits western face. It was also used in the filming ofShanghai
Knights starring Jackie Chan and OwenWilson,
andwasdescribedasbeingpartiallydestroyed in the 2012 film Doctor Who. An animatedversion (卡通版) of the clock was also used as thesetting in the Walt Disney film The Great MouseDetective,and was shown being destroyed by a UFOin the film
Mars Attacks!
