    　　Forests have always been useful and important to man who makes use of them in many ways. Every day trees are serving man everywhere. Trees supply man with fruits and building materials in the form of wood. Without trees it would be impossible to build houses, boats, bridges and so on. Furniture such as desks, chairs and beds is made of wood. Trees can stop man from terrible heat. They're also useful in preventing good and rich top soil from being washed away during heavy rains.

         The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 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.
