Just behind the National Gallery stands the National Portrait Gallery, （32）since the reign of Richards Ⅱ （1377-1399）, and of historical celebrities such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Cromwell. （33）.
The National Gallery of British Art, better known as the Tate Gallery, was given to the nation by a ih sugar merchant, Sir Heny Tate, （34）.

The first floor of the building contains an admirable assortment of Boucher's pictures, besides excellent examples of the work of Fragonard, （38）.On a summer day, a visit to Kenwood House in Kenwood, on the northern side of Hampstead Heath, is well worth while, for here is a small collection of paintings, some by famous painters, that can be viewed in a relatively short time.

1、A good way of ridding yourself of certain kinds of dogmatism is to become aware of opinions held in social circles different from your own. （63）When I was young. I lived much outside my own country-in France, Germany, Italy and the United States. I found this very profitable in diminishing the intensity of insular prejudice. （64）If you cannot travel, seek out people with whom you disagree, and read a newspaper belonging to a party that is not yours. If the people and the newspaper seem mad, perverse, and wicked, remind yourself that you seem so to them. In this opinion both parties may be right, but they cannot both be wrong. This reflection should generate a certain caution. （65）For those who have enough psychological imagination, it is a good plan to imagine an argument with a person having a different bias. This has one advantage, and only one, as compared with actual conversation with opponents;（66）this one advantage is that the method is not subject to the same limitations of time or space. Mahatma Gandhi deplores railways and steamboats and machinery;he would like to undo the whole of the industrial revolution. （67）You may never have an opportunity of actually meeting any one who holds this opinion, because in Western countries most people take the advantage of modern technique for granted.
（From How to Avoid the Foolish Opinions）
