Today, more and more travelers in the United States are spending nights at small houses or inns instead of hotels. They get a room for the night and the breakfast the next morning. Rooms for the night in private homes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in Europe for many years. In the past five to ten years, these bed-and-breakfast places have become popular in the United States. Many of these America’s bed-and-breakfast inns are old historic buildings. Some bed-and-breakfast inns have only a few rooms, others are much larger. Some inns do not provide telephones or televisions in the rooms, others do. Staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying at a hotel. Usually the cost is much less. Staying at an inn is almost like visiting someone’s home.

B In the past several years, the Great Lawn has hosted some of the most popular musical events in American history. Apart from hosting the New York Philharmonic (交响乐团) and the Metropolitan Opera for two free performances every summer, the area just north of Belvedere castle has been also the stage for acts. The 1996 opening ceremony of “Pocahontas”, a Disney movie was even held here. In fact the Great Lawn holds the reputation of being the single largest design characteristic but that was not part of the original Greenland Plan, as drawn up by Olmsted and Vaux. At that time it was the site of the Croton Reservoir (水库), which was built in 1842 and demanded that its designers should also build a park around its less-beautiful rectangular (长方形的) shape.
