　　[2016·枣强中学期中] When Shakespeare was twenty­one, he went to London,

　　a very interesting place, to try his fortune.

　　There were the famous London Bridge and St. Paul's

　　Cathedral,

　　and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops.

　　Then, too, there were the daily crowds where could be
