B(2019·泰州一模)Incredible experiences in BucharestAdmire one of the world's largest buildingsThe world's biggest parliamentary building, Palace of Parliament, happens to be in Bucharest.Hour­long guided tours manage to take in just a fraction of the building's three­million­plus square feet (there are more than a thousand rooms) and focus on the tons of marble, hardwood, and gold used in the building's construction in the 1980s, a time when Romania was trying to feed its own people.Ceausescu and his wife, Elena, both played a direct role in the construction.It was originally intended to house the presidential offices and the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party but was never finished.See remains of old “Paris”“Paris of the East” was Bucharest's nickname in the decades before World War Ⅱ.Decades of communist misrule and a tragic earthquake in 1977 brought much of the old city down, but there are places here and there where that former elegance can still be glimpsed.The Cismigiu Gardens in the center of the city is a pearl of park built around a romantic lake and featuring oldgrowth trees and gracious, wrought­iron signposts and benches.Learn about Romania's rootsWalking through Bucharest's busy streets, it's easy to forget that outside the capital and a handful of large cities, Romania is a largely agricultural country, with a long and rich peasant tradition.The amazing Museum of the Romanian Peasant shows off the elaborate woodworking, pottery­making, egg­painting, and weaving skills of the peasantry in a way that's both educational and amusing.Small tongue­in­cheek signs at the entrance to each room poke fun at modern life, bring a chuckle, and draw you in.Downstairs there's a side exhibition on the Communists' efforts to nationalize the peasantry in the 1970s and 1980s.Appreciate 21st century artRomania has exploded onto the contemporary art scene in recent years.The excitement was generated initially by a group of young painters and visual artists from the northern city of ClujNapoca, but at least some of the action has shifted to the capital as new galleries and design centers open up.It's hard to pinpoint precisely what constitutes Romanian contemporary art, though critics point to shared elements of wit and dark humor, a somber mood, and bits of surrealism in defining a common style.语篇解读：本文主要介绍了作者在布加勒斯特的几段难以置信的经历。
