They are men and women recognized for shaping our nations consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us-an artifact of the past. Some maintain that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to transcend celebrity(明星), who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? Thats hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death -such as Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.

Whatever your budget is the choice from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle is all part of fun.HostelsCheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you dont have to be young or single to use them.

In essence you get a room in somebodys house, and small B & Bs may only have one guest room, so youll really feel like part of the family. Larger B & Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome. In country areas your B & B might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around 12 to 20 per person. City B & Bs charge about 25 to 30 per person, although theyre often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs.Pubs & Inns As well as selling drinks and meals, Britains pubs and inns sometimes offer B & B, particularly in country areas.
