Tristan da Cunha, a 38?square?mile island, is the farthest inhabited island in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records. It is 1,510 miles southwest

 of its nearest neighbor, St.Helena, and 1,950 miles west of Africa. Discovered

by the Portuguese admiral（葡萄牙海军上将）of the same name in 1506, and settled

 in 1810, the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hund

red.

Coming in a close second—and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant land—is Easter Island, which lies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbor, Pitcair

n Island, and 2,300 miles west of South America.

The mountainous 64-square-mile island was settled around the 5th century, supposedly by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years, giving them plenty of time to build more than 1,000 huge stone figures, called moai, for which the island is most famous.

On Easter Sunday, 1722, however, settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name. Today, 2,000 people live on the Chilean territory (智利领土).They share one street, a small airport, and a few hours of television per day.

  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 wooden and close together. One hundred thousand 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 in 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 along them.

        Samuel Peyps, 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.

It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that______.

    A. some people lost their lives                    

B. the birds in the sky were killed by the fire

    C. many famous buildings were destroyed  

D. the King's bakery was burned down

Why did the writer cite (引用) Samuel Pepys?

    A. Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.  

 B. Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.

    C. To show that poor people suffered most.       

D. To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.

How was the fire put out according to the text?

    A. The King and his soldiers came to help.

    B. All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed.

    C. People managed to get enough water from the river.

    D. Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down.

    (a) There was a strong wind.                         (b) The streets were very narrow. 

    (c) Many houses were made of wood.           (d) There was not enough water in the city.

About half American teenagers do not get enough sleep on school nights.They get an average of sixty to ninety minutes less than experts say they need.
One reason for this is biology.Experts say teens are biologically programmed to go to sleep later and wake up later than other age groups.Yet many schools start classes as early as seven in the morning.As a result，many students go to class feeling like sixteen?year?old Danny.He is an active teen— except in the morning.“Getting up in the morning is pretty terrible.I’m just very out of it and tired.Through the first and second period I can hardly stay awake,” he said.
Michael Breus is a psychologist.Teens，he says，need to sleep eight to nine hours or even nine to ten hours a night.He says sleepy teens can experience a form of depression(消沉) that could have big influence on their general well being.It can affect not just their ability in the classroom but also on the sports field and on the road.So what can schools do about sleepy students？The psychologist says one thing they can do is to start classes later in the morning.Studies show that students can improve by a full letter grade in their first and second period classes.
Eric Peterson is the head of St.George’s School in the northeastern state of Rhode Island.He wanted to see if a thirty?minute delay(推迟)would make a difference.It did.He says visits to the health center by tired students decreased by half.Late arrivals to the first period fell by a third.And students reported that they were less sleepy during the day.Eric Peterson knows that changing start times is easier at a small school like his.But he is hopeful that other schools will find a way.
