After months of remote learning, Colton was more than a little excited to return to the classroom. On the first day, the 8-year-old even rode the bus alone to school. Everything was going just fine until he got off at a wrong stop on his way home.
When Colton didn’t get home as planned, his elder brother Gavin called their mother, Arlene. Arlene panicked because she had no idea where Colton was! She called the school, which referred her to the bus company. Then she called the bus company and the police. As the minutes passed, she became increasingly worried. Fearing the worst, she and Gavin jumped in the car and began to drive around, searching for the lost child.
“Where was he? Was he still safe? The school didn’t know. The bus company didn’t know. There was no information from the police.” Arlene said. “ So we were just driving around, looking for him. I just knew I would take the route to school.”
Meanwhile, Colton had gotten off the bus in a strange area and had no idea how to get home. By a strange twist of fate, a woman named Kim happened to be driving by when she found Colton alone, she hoped someone would help her children if they were ever in his shoes.
“I got out of my car and asked him what happened,” Kim wrote on Facebook. “He was very brave and told me he got off at a wrong stop and that he didn’t know where he was. I told him to be calm and my kids would be friends with him.”
Kim noticed he had a green sticker on his shirt. It did not have his home phone number but his address. She put the address in her phone, so she could find how to get to his house. It turned out that it was 5 miles away from where they were.

7 . Stores play music to change the way customers feel. Clothing stores for teenagers play popular music. It is exciting and makes the customers feel happy, but music does more than that. It can change the way a person shops.
According to studies, the volume (音量) of music changes how people shop. Customers shop quickly when store music is very loud. They hurry through the store, but they buy just as much. When music is quiet, customers shop slowly. Customers take time to look at the products and talk with the salespeople. Quiet music is good for products that take time and information to buy.
Slow music makes people slow down. In restaurants with slow music, customers spend more time eating. Slow music also slows down customers in supermarkets. Customers notice more products as they walk through the store. With slow music in supermarkets, sales go up by 38 percent.
Familiar music gives shoppers a good idea of time. People know the beginning, middle, and end of a familiar song. When customers hear music that is not familiar, they don’t notice the time. When they don’t notice the time, they spend more time shopping and buy more. People remember past experiences and feelings when they hear familiar music. Many stores play old, happy music so customers feel good. When customers hear new music, they forget about the world outside of the store. Some stores use new music so their customers relax while they shop.
Stores choose music that fits their products. A bookstore plays classical music and jazz. It gives the store a serious and intelligent feeling.

8 . A huge fire broke out on 2 September 1666 in London. The fire, known as the Great Fire of London, was the worst fire in the history of London. It burned down more than three quarters of the old city.
The fire started in the very early hours of Sunday morning in the house of the king’s baker. A strong wind blew the fire from the baker’s house into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.
At that time, most of the buildings in London were made of wood, so it was easy for the fire to spread quickly. By eight o’clock, three hundred houses were on fire. By Monday, nearly a kilometre of the city was burning along the Thames River. On Tuesday, which was considered the worst day, the fire destroyed many well-known buildings, including the old St Paul’s Cathedral.
The fire burned until finally hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire were destroyed to create a firebreak. The fire then died out eventually with nothing left to burn.
