(2022·上海徐汇区·模拟)London's burning
The Great Fire of London started at around 1:00 a.m. on 2nd September, 1666. The fire started in the home of a baker named Thomas Farynor (Farriner), located on London's Pudding Lane. Thomas wasn't an baker. Actually, he was King Charles II's baker.
The fire brought complete damage to the city of London. In 17th century London, not only were buildings made from wood and straw, but they stood very close together, making it easy for fire to . Warehouses (仓库) around Pudding Lane contained materials such as oil and rope which soon caught fire! Within just a few hours, London Bridge by the River Thames was burning. For the next four days, almost the whole city was on fire.
Instead of fighting the fire, people's first reaction was to get away as quickly as possible. In a state of great , they collected all the belongings they could carry and ran.
Back then, there was no fire station in London. Local soldiers as well as local people did the best they could with the limited equipment they had.
It wasn't until Tuesday, 4th September that the fire was brought under control. And by Thursday the fire was finally put out. Most of what we know about the Great Fire of London came from the of two men called Samuel Pepys and John Evelyn, who both left detailed descriptions of this famous tragedy (悲剧). A third of the city had been destroyed! About 13,200 houses and 87 churches were burned to the ground. , only six official deaths were recorded…but the actual figure is likely to be much higher. With 70,000 people left homeless, theft and other crimes swept what was left of the city, as well as sickness and disease.
There is no doubt that the Great Fire was an awful tragedy—but it did lead to some nice changes to London. The city was rebuilt in a safer and more organized way, such a disaster would not happen again. Streets were made wider, and buildings were made from brick or stone (rather than wood), with better access to water. What's more, London's first fire brigades were formed!

(2022·上海黄浦区·模拟) As the weather warms up and summer approaches, many families around the UK will visit a beach. It's time to admire the scenery, have long walks and play with water. To keep beaches and tidy, you could also help by taking part in a beach clean.
You could carefully pick up waste that along the coast. Some rubbish gets washed to the beach by the sea, but sadly a lot of it is left by people who use the beach.
To do a beach clean, all you need is a strong bag or large bin liner; a pair of gloves to your hands. As a family, you can cover a section of the beach together and look out for objects to pick up and put in your bag. You could things like bottles, drinks cans, food wrappers and plastics.
These objects can harm wildlife and creatures around the beach, as well as being a to people. When plastics get into the water, the wind and tides can carry them long distances and they begin to break down into tiny pieces and harm the fish, birds and animals in the sea.
When you have filled a bag — or perhaps a few bags — with rubbish, it is to take it home with you if you can. This helps to keep the public bins at the beach clear for others to use. At home, sort it into recyclable and non-recyclable waste.

In 2015,some American sociologists (社会学家) reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people and share others' feelings among college students had fallen down quickly over the past 10 years. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the sociologists said. Today, people spend more time and are less likely to join groups and clubs.
Annie Moore is in charge of a teen program. She differently. Turn on the TV, and we watch news and see reality shows full of people fighting, competing and treating one another with no respect. Humans learn by example—and some examples are not empathetic (有同理心的) at all.
There are good not to follow those bad examples. Humans are born with social relations. And empathy plays a key role in these relationships. The sociologists have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can help us stay away from sadness and fear.
Empathy is also an ability for a good leader. In fact, Annie says, many top companies think that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new . Good social skills, including empathy are a kind of "emotional (情感的) intelligence" and it will help you succeed "in many areas of life. Academics (学术知识) are important. But if you don't have emotional intelligence, you won't be as successful in work or life," she says.
What's the best way to up your EQ (情商) For starters, let down your guard and really others." One doesn't have empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking," Annie says.
To really empathy, you'd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a "sharing circle" with your family, or spend time taking care of pets at an animal shelter.

(2022·上海宝山区·模拟) There are various ways we can help people in need. Big charity organizations commonly deliver food to hungry people, build homes for the homeless, and volunteer at local charity centres.
, there is a new way to help poor people living in distance, and that is by giving money to them directly.
GiveDirectly gives the money to the poor families directly by using cell phones. When the family receives an SMS message, they can get the money from a nearby mobile money agent. It has become an effective way to transfer the money over thousands of miles.
Since 2012, the charity organization GiveDirectly has been studying the of direct money support to poor Kenyans (肯尼亚人). The charity gives them a one-year budget (预算), spread over several months. They can spend the money on whatever they need, and they never have to pay it back! When GiveDirectly tracked (追踪) how the money was being used, they were glad to find that the Kenyans were using the money .
Many of the families spent the money on new metal roofs to take the place of their old grass roofs. While grass roofs need several times a year, metal roofs last longer and save money. Some bought land and cows for farming or started small businesses, such as buying a used motorcycle to transport people around like a taxi. This helped them to have more money for food, clothing and health care, and give their children an education.
The studies on giving money directly to poor Kenyans are going on. Some people are that some of the families will waste the money or simply become dependent on these donations (捐助). Although it's hard to tell if it is a good idea to give them direct money support, we can all agree that it is a way of helping others.

Recently, a group of architects decided to make this a reality. They are planning a city with everything people need—including living areas, study rooms, offices and entertainment areas a 10-minute walk from home.

The idea of such a city is not new. In 2016, a researcher called Carlos Moreno put forward the "15-minute city" idea. And it has become more popular nowadays since many people have been forced to spend most of their time at home, with less to go out of their neighbourhood.

(2022·上海闵行区·单元测试) Some people believe aliens may visit the earth and suggest applying UFO technology for country defenses.
Some files and documents from the Ministry of Defence make people believe aliens could visit "military reconnaissance" (侦察), "scientific research" or "tourism".
A desk officer said humans might think of the purpose of reported alien craft sightings first. Perhaps, aliens did not appear to be "hostile intent" (明显的敌意).
An unnamed scientist said it was "essential that we start with open minds", explaining "what is scientific 'fact' today may not be tomorrow". Although he did not "talk to little green men every night", he said, "we have a guess that we have never satisfied. That is, we do not know if UFOs really exist."
"If they do exist, we do not know what they are, their purpose or they pose a threat to the world."
He added that "if reports are taken at face value" they showed the vehicles aliens took had "a very wide range of speeds and are stealthy (鬼鬼祟祟的)". , he suggested, "we could use this technology, if it exists."
His brief document lists possible for UFO sightings, including mass hallucinations (集体幻觉), newly-designed aircraft, "atmospheric events" and hoaxes (恶作剧), but indicated none provide a fully convincing explanation.
It adds there are some indications that the reported incidents are only the tip of an iceberg and people do not wish to risk embarrassment and so do not report sightings".
He also noted that the number of reports of "strange objects in the skies" increased dramatically after World War Ⅱ, with most sightings coming from "farmers, policemen, doctors and lovers".
