The story of Sir Nicholas Winton is the one that you would imagine could only happen on the silver screen. Sir Nicholas Winton was a British man who went to heroic efforts, potentially putting himself at risk, during World War II. Sir Winton was responsible for ensuring the safety of six hundred and sixty-nine Jewish children by aiding their escape from countries occupied (占领) by Nazis. Finally, the Jewish children were brought to England where he worked to make sure families in his native country would help the kids by taking them into their homes.

Recently, this unbelievable story has again been making the rounds on the Internet, particularly after a rerun of the BBC show called “That’s life”, which featured Sir Winton.

People around the world were moved at the details of the story, with saying it to be the best story they’ve ever seen.

Sir Winton kept his entire plan completely secret, even his wife had no idea about his planning until fifty years later. After the war, years passed and many people remained in the dark about Sir Winton’s extraordinary achievement. Some fifty years later, his wife Greta was searching in their house and discovered a Winton’s notebook which documented (记录)the names of all the children. She worked with BBC and they produced a TV episode(插曲) of their program “ That’s life” that served as an honor for Sir Winton’s work.

In 2003, Sir Winton was knighted(封为爵士) by the Queen of England for his work. He also was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. He also had a small planet named after him by Czech astronomers. Sir Winton died peacefully in his sleep at the age of one hundred and six, in 2015. Leaders around the world paid tribute(悼念). Israel’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, Daniel Taub, said, “He was a hero of our time, having saved 669 Jewish children from Nazis. His story , as a point of light in a period of darkness, will forever be remembered.”

25. What happened to the 669 Jewish children?

A. They were killed by Nazis.

B. They returned to their own homes.

C. They fled to their native countries.

D. They were raised by English families.

26. What made Winton’s story spread widely?

It is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented. And at first sight, it looks like the easiest. Competitors have to do two things. The first is to stand still. The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.

This is where things start getting difficult. Lots of people are doing the same thing. And the winner of the “handathon” contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time. That person gets to own the car.

It still seems to be an easy thing to do. At the beginning it is，anyone can stand still. But when the contest has been going for four or five days, standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention. After a few days, the hand seems to belong to someone else----someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.

Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat, drink or do whatever else is necessary. No one is allowed to lean on the car for support. Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. They also need to be able to develop special skills.

Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter. Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly don't seem to do much preparation. Most say they will prepare by “getting lots of sleep”. Others say t hey will “eat healthy food” or “pray for success”. The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.

Handathons are competitions, but there is little rivalry (敌对) between competitors. They help each other out and keep each other’s spirits up. People who drop out early return with food, drink and encouragement for those still standing.

29. The reason why the sport is called “handathon” is that competitors ______.

A. cover a long distance

B. keep hands in place for long

C. wave hands as long as possible

D. do the same thing as in a marathon

30. What ability is likely to be most needed in a handathon?

A. Standing without any support.

B. Not leaning on the car.

C. Eating and drinking in five minutes.

D. Having strong powers of attention.

31.Why is handathon popular?

A. Someone can win with special training.

B. It doesn’t need to make any preparation.

C. Anyone who is interested can join in it.

D. People get along well with each other in it.

D
