The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 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 eginning. 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 were 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 paths of the fire. With nothing left to burn , the fire became weak and finally died out. After the fire, Christopher Wren ,the architect , 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, and the new St Paul’s is among them. 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.

一个面包师长期从他的邻居——一个农民那儿购买黄油。有一天，他竟然发现黄油的分量不足。以后，他定期称量，每回都是这样。于是，面包师把农民告到了法官那里。农民在法官面前辩解说：“面包师向我购买黄油的同时，我也一直从他那里购买同样重量的面包，并且以他的面包作为称黄油的砝码。如果我的砝码不准，那不是我的过错，而是他的过错。”面包师听后哑口无言了。

**快乐王子（节选）**[英]王尔德
①燕子便在这个大城市的上空飞着，他看见有钱人在他们的漂亮的住宅里作乐，乞丐们坐在门外挨冻。他飞进阴暗的小巷里，看见那些饥饿的小孩伸出苍白的瘦脸没精打采地望着污秽的街道。在一道桥洞下面躺着两个小孩，他们紧紧地搂在一起，想使身体得到一点温暖。“我们真饿啊！”他们只好走进雨中去了。 ②他便回去把看见的景象告诉了王子。 ③“我满身贴着纯金，”王子说，“你给我把它一片一片地拿掉，拿去送给我的那些穷人，活着的人总以为金子能够使它们幸福。” ④燕子把纯金一片一片地啄了下来，他又把纯金一片一片地拿去送给那些穷人。最后王子就变成灰暗难看的了。小孩们的脸颊上现出了红色，他们在街上玩着，大声笑着。“我们现在有面包了。”他们这样叫道。 ⑤随后雪来了，严寒也到了。街道好像是银子筑成的一样，它们是那么亮，那么光辉，长长的冰柱像水晶的短剑似的悬挂在檐前，每个行人都穿着皮衣，小孩们也戴上红帽子溜冰取乐。 ⑥可一冷小燕子却一天比一天地更觉得冷了，可是他仍然不肯离开王子，他太爱王子了。他只有趁着面包师不注意的时候，在面包店门口啄一点面包屑吃，而且拍着翅膀来取暖。 ⑦但是最后他知道自己快要死了。他就只有一点力气，够他飞到王子的肩上去一趟。“亲爱的王子，再见罢！”他喃喃地说，“你肯让我亲吻你的手吗？” ⑧“小燕子，我很高兴你到底要到埃及去了。”王子说，“你在这儿住得太久；不过你应该亲我的嘴唇，因为我爱你。” ⑨“我现在不是到埃及去。”燕子说，“我是到死之家去的。听说死是睡的兄弟，不是吗？” ⑩他吻了快乐王子的嘴唇，然后跌落在王子的脚下，死了。
那个时候在这座像的内部忽然响起了一个奇怪的爆裂声，好像有什么东西破碎了似的。事实是王子的那颗铅心已经裂成两半了。这的确是一个极可怕的严寒天气。1．写出下列词语的反义词。无精打采——（） 污秽——（）灰暗——（） 难看——（）2．根据短文内容填空。 文中的主人公是____\_，他把浑身贴着的______\_一片一片地拿去送给那些_______。 王子和小燕子给穷孩子们带来了_____\_和__________。3．选择正确答案填空。（只填序号）第①自然段运用了（）的手法，表明了当时社会的贫富悬殊，表达了作者对劳动人民的（）。A．比喻 B．对比 C．深切同情 D．厌恶4．选择正确答案填空。（只填序号）第⑤自然段中写行人、小孩，其目的是为了[ ]

我们每天所需的食物和饮料，不是出自屠户、酿酒商或面包师的恩惠，而是出于他们自利的打算。每个使用资本和劳动的个人，既不打算促进公共利益，也不知道他自己是在什么程度上促进那种利益。他受一只看不见的手的指导，去尽力达到一个并非他本意想要达到的目的。通过追逐自己的利益，他经常促进了社会的利益。
