more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. Over
one hundred people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.
The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King"s baker (面包师) in Pudding Lane. The baker,
with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window into the roof. A strong wind blew the fire
from the bakery (面包房) into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was
the beginning.
By eight o"clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning
along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St
Paul"s and the Guildhall among them.
Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire, "People threw their things into the river. Many
poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat."
The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path
of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.
After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect (建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new
houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among them
the mew St Paul"s.
The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not
just of the past.

untamed that if something doesn"t bite, stick, or sting, it"s probably a rock.
You know you have arrived in the heart of the Chihuahuan Desert when it feels as if you have fallen off
the edge of the earth and into the rabbit hole. Nothing is as it appears. Moths (蛀虫) are the size of birds.
Are those twin pillars (柱) of black rock (a landmark known as Mule Ear Peaks) ten miles (16 kilometers)
away or fifty (80 kilometers)? Visibility (能见度) reaches more than a hundred miles on a clear day, and
since there are few roads or buildings to use as milestones, distance is difficult to judge.
This is a place where water runs uphill, where rainbows have to wait for rain. The line between myth (虚
构的故事) and reality is unclear. Stare long enough at the Chisos Mountains or the Sierra del Carmen, the
two mountain ranges, known as sky islands, which lie on the land, and they rise and float above the plain.
The vast Chihuahuan Desert is a land of no people. There is always the chance you"ll die of thirst. The
"You Can Die" possibilities are endless, and keep some visitors-350,000 a year to Big Bend National Park,
built in 1944-from coming back. Those who do return are left to think of the remarkable courage of the
brave few who have managed to survive in this terrible environment.
