Firefighters responded to a fire Wednesday night at an abandoned mall in Heywood。 The fire was reported at 9：26 p.m。 at an old shopping center on Michigan Avenue near St。 Mary’s Church。 Six fire engines， two trucks and two chiefs responded to the scene。 Crews had the fire under control in about 45 minutes and managed to contain the fire to its point of origin。 There were some people inside the building when the fire broke out but there were no reports of any injuries。 Fire investigators have responded to the scene but have not yet determined the cause of the fire。 Firefighters will remain on the scene until later this morning to ensure that the fire doesn’t start up again。 The shopping mall had not been in use since 2002。 In 2014 City Hall developed a plan to knock down the building and replace it with affordable housing。 However， the plan was dropped due to lack of funds。

Question 3。 What does the news item say about the fire？

Question 4。 What had City Hall planned to do？

本篇新闻考查的是主旨题加细节题。第一题针对新闻主旨题，答案出现在新闻第一句导语部分，所听即所得即可。第二题考查市政厅之前的计划，本该拆除的大楼由于资金匮乏没有拆除，答案出现在最后两句话，且有关键词提示，难度不大。
