"New York City is not America. " That´s what American friends are sure to you when you ar-rive. "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., 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 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 it´ s just like the picture we all know. Those tall, straight buildings--the skyscrap-ers-packed so close together on that island of rocks are sometimes seen in the distance through a veil of early morning mist. You have imagined it so often that now it´s difficult to believe this beautiful sight is real, and unless your heart is as hard as a stone, excitement will make it beat a lit-tle faster. Perhaps "greatest", "tallest", "longest", "biggest", "brightest", are words you will find most often in the city guide books.

A．6．

B．4．

C．7．

Pepys and his wife Jane 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 o´clock on the Sunday morning, its glow had become so bright 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 set 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 Tower of London and climbed upon a high part of the build-ing 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 baker´s shop in Pudding Lane(小巷) ； the baker´s 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. So the Great Fire of London, a fire that lasted nearly five days, destroyed most of the old city and ended, as it is said, at Pie Comer.
What is the passage about?

A．The Great Fire of London．

B．Who was the first to discover the fire．

C．What Pepys was doing during the fire．

D．The losses caused by the fire．
