People from around the world visit the Met daily and are impressed (印象深刻的) by the 20-foot tree and its special decorations.Instead of the usual decorations, beautiful angels (天使) and candles hang from the tree. At the base are lifelike handmade figures of townspeople of Bethlehem doing their daily tasks, as well as animals. The room is warmly lit, and there's beautiful Christmas songs softly playing, creating a feeling of calm that is really hard to find during Christmas.Jasmin, an Australian student studying in the United States, says that the tree is “wonderful because you don't often see trees like this.” And she says that her “favorite part of the tree is the beautiful angels.”The tree has a rich history behind it. The decorations and figures were gifted to the museum by collector Loretta Hines Howard. More than 200 eighteenth-century figures were given to the Museum starting in 1964, and they have been displayed (展览) each holiday season with a Christmas tree. Each year, new angels and figures are added to the collection and display.If you want to fully experience the beauty of the figures, you'll need to get close to the tree, most easily done when there aren't many visitorssurrounding (围绕) it, so try to visit early in the day or on a weekday if possible. Each year they change how the figures are placed and with so many beautiful pieces in the collection, it's easy to find something new to examine.【语篇解读】本文是说明文。
