Most ants are hard workers and often work from six o'clock in the morning until ten o'clock at night. The work is divided among the worker ants and every ant has some work to do. We do not know how they decide what everyone is to do because they do not talk. Some people think ants follow each other by their sense of smell. Ant's often lived to be a year old, and some can live six or seven years. They get their food from lice's called cows. The ants milk these“cows” by tapping the lice's gently until a drop of syrup“milk”comes out. Then they drink it. Ants take very good care of these lice's and often put something on them to keep them from rain.

　　The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September, 1666. In four days it destroyed(破坏) 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 King's Baker in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind flew the fire from the bakery(面包房) into a small hotel next door. Then it spread(展开) quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.

　　By eight o'clock 300 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 wellknown buildings, old St Paul's and the Guildhall 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(小路) 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 50 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.
