Most of us trade money for entertainment. Movies, concerts and shows are enjoyable but expensive. (78) If you think that you can’t have a good time without spending a lot of money, read on. A、little resourcefulness and a few minutes of newspaper-scanning should give you some pleasant surprises.
People may be the most interesting show in a large city. Stroll through busy streets and see what everybody else is doing. You will probably see people from all over the world; you will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape, and you’ll 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 advertise-ments too.A、flea market can provide hours of pleasant browsing. Perhaps you can find afree cooking or crafts 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 seta side one or two free admission days at slow times during the week. (79) Pretend that you are a tourist from time to time, and get to know your city all over again including the indis-pensable (不可错过的) sights that people travel miles to see. If you feel like taking an in-teresting walk, find a free walking tour, or plan one yourself. You will see your city in anew perspective (视角) once you know more about its history or its architectural treas-ures. With imagination and a spirit of adventure you can quite easily find good entertain-ment at no cost at all.
If you are wandering through the busy streets, which will most attract youA．Various buildings
B．Car driving
C．Window-shopping
D．Free walking

石钟山记原文《水经》云：“彭蠡之口有石钟山焉。”郦元以为下临深潭，微风鼓浪，水石相搏，声如洪钟。是说也，人常疑之。今以钟磬置水中，虽大风浪不能鸣也，而况石乎!至唐李渤始访其遗踪，得双石于潭上，扣而聆之，南声函胡，北音清越，桴止响腾，余韵徐歇。自以为得之矣。然是说也，余尤疑之。石之铿然有声者，所在皆是也，而此独以钟名，何哉? 元丰七年六月丁丑，余自齐安舟行适临汝，而长子迈将赴饶之德兴尉，送之至湖口，因得观所谓石钟者。寺僧使小童持斧，于乱石间择其一二扣之，硿硿焉。余固笑而不信也。至莫夜月明，独与迈乘小舟至绝壁下。大石侧立千尺，如猛兽奇鬼，森然欲搏人;而山上栖鹘，闻人声亦惊起，磔磔云霄间;又有若老人咳且笑于山谷中者，或曰此鹳鹤也。余方心动欲还，而大声发于水上，噌吰如钟鼓不绝。舟人大恐。徐而察之，则山下皆石穴罅，不知其浅深，微波入焉，涵淡澎湃而为此也。舟回至两山间，将入港口，有大石当中流，可坐百人，空中而多窍，与风水相吞吐，有窾坎镗鞳之声，与向之噌吰者相应，如乐作焉。因笑谓迈曰：“汝识之乎?噌吰者，周景王之无射也;窾坎镗鞳者，魏庄子之歌钟也。古之人不余欺也!” 事不目见耳闻，而臆断其有无，可乎?郦元之所见闻，殆与余同，而言之不详;士大夫终不肯以小舟夜泊绝壁之下，故莫能知;而渔工水师虽知而不能言。此世所以不传也。而陋者乃以斧斤考击而求之，自以为得其实。余是以记之，盖叹郦元之简，而笑李渤之陋也。
