    阅读短文，选择正确答案。
        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 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 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 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.

    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
    4. Why did the writer cite (引用) Samuel Pepys?
