33、 City is not America.“ Thats what American friends are sure to you when you arrive. “You must see Boston, visit Niagara Falls, go to Virginia, fly down to Florida, and so on; but first, of course, you will want to see New York. It is not the capital city of the United States (that is Washington, D.C

34、., where the President lives) or even the capital city of New York State (that is Albany), but many people call it the greatest city on earth.“The five parts, or boroughs, of New York City are Manhattan, Queen, Bronz, Richmond and Brooklyn. Although Manhattan is not all of New York, it is the heart

35、of the city. It is an island, which is only about 13 miles long and 2 miles wide. From the air its shape looks like a long finger, and from the sea its just like the picture we all know. Those tall, straight buildingsthe skyscrapers-packed so close together on that island of rocks are sometimes seen

36、 in the distance through a veil of early morning mist.

39、e had asked some friends to dinner on Sunday, September 2nd, 1666. They were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow (微弱的光) of a fire start in the sky. By 3 oclock on the Sunday morning, its glow had become so bright

40、 that Jane woke her husband to watch it. Pepys slipped on his dressing-gown and went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, and after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked, though the fire was dying down, as though he could still see some flames. So he s

41、et to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them.While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard the fire was a bad one; hundreds of houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Towe

42、r of London and climbed upon a high part of the building so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. The man of the Tower told him that the fire had started in a bakers shop in Pudding La

43、ne (小巷); the bakers house had caught fire from the over-heated oven (烤箱) and then the flames had quickly spread to the other houses in the narrow lane.

With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the

47、nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence, according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Association

48、 Dogs (READ).The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,“ said Lisa Myron, manager of the childrens department.Last November the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon“ in the childrens department of the main library.
