            Where can you find the first successtul airplane,one of the world's biggest bugs(蟲(chóng)子) and Kermit the Frog? They,re all at the Smithsonian Institution,American's storehouse of the coolest things ever,in Washington,D. C. More than 138 million objects have been collected by their 19 museums,with more coming in every day.

            The Smithsonian was founded in 1846 and named after James Smithson,an English businessman. Smithson never visited America,but he left his entire fortune to the United States to^ build an institution “for the increase of knowledge."

            Here are just a few of the amazing things in the Smithsonian collection.

                              Big bugs 

            The Smithsonian has 35 million bugs. The largest insect in the collection is a beetle(甲蟲(chóng)) from South America called the titan beetle. Titan beetles can grow to more than 6 inches long.

                           Flying machines 

            The first powered plane to fly,the 1903 Wright Flyer,is displayed in the National Air and Space!Museum. The Smithsonian has the first supersonic (超音速的) airliner ,the which could cross the Atlantic Ocean in fewer than four hours.

                           The longest beard 

            The Smithsonian is home to the longest beard;ever recorded. Norwegian imniigrant Hans Langseth I had grown his facial hair to 18 feet 6  inches by the time he died in 1927. The Smithsonian has 17 feet 6 inches of it because,even though Langseth's final wish was to have his entire beard preserved,his family decided it wouldn't be right to bury him clean-shaven.
