4．The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of September 2，1666．In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city，where most of the houses were made of wood 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 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 new 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．

3．Do you suppose Darwin，one of the greatest scientists of all time，really did foolish experiments？Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish？
Sometimes，people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution to a problem．Sometimes，they really do know an answer o r a solution，but without thinking they are important．
Charles Darwin didn't settle for（满足于）just thinking he knew something．And，he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be．
Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape．If you drop them at the same time in the same place，they will fall in the same way．Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets．What happens？You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn't be worth anything．
But this simple experiment is important．It explains part of our present-day understandings of physics，ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton．And these understandings set asidesome of ancient Greek physics．
Scientists sometimes stop to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them．Even the simplest idea，which we might think is foolish，can shake the foundations of science．
