15.It's reported that the Great Fire attacked London in the 17th century.The fire started in the very early hours of the day.In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city,where most of the houses were wooden and close together.(36)G
On Sunday morning the fire started in the house of the King's baker in Pudding Lane.The baker,with his wife and family,was able to get out through a window in the roof.(37)F 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.(38)A The fire destroyed many well-known buildings,old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them.
People threw their things into the river.Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment.(39)E 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,the city was expected to be rebuilt with wider streets and fine new houses of stone.(40)BBut more than fifty churches were also rebuilt,among them new St Paul's.
Although great pain and loss was caused by the fire,after it London was rebuilt as a better place:a city for the future and not just of the past.

A.Tuesday was the worst day,for more buildings were caught in the fire.
B.In fact,the streets were still narrow after totally rebuilt.
C.At last,the streets became much wider.
D.The family were able to survive the fire after all.
E.The homeless had to wander in the streets for no shelter to stay.
F.A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery into a small hotel next door.
G.One hundred thousand people became homeless,but only a few lost their lives.
