When Nicholas Winton was invited to appear in the audience for a 1988 broadcast of That’s Life, he knew he would be honored for his work. Winton had saved the lives of 669 Jewish children, helping them escape from Europe and reach Britain. What he didn’t know, however, was that many of his fellow audience members were the people he’d saved, ready and eager to thank him in person.
Winton was born in Britain in 1909 to Jewish parents who had emigrated there from Germany. In 1938, he was planning to take a skiing trip in Switzerland when he was invited to Czechoslovakia. At the time, Nazi Germany was in the process of occupying the country. Winton set up an organization to help Jewish children escape Czechoslovakia before it was too late.
From his hotel room, he arranged transportation and wrote to British families to ask them to accept refugees. The British government agreed to accept any refugee under 17, provided they had a place to stay and enough money to eventually get them home again. Winton managed all this, putting children on trains that went through Europe to the Netherlands, where the children could take ships or planes to Britain. In the end, however, the German invasion continued, and the last train Winton organized, which was to carry 250 children, was stopped from leaving Czechoslovakia. Of those children, only two survived World War II.


Winton seldom mentioned his work, and his wife Grete only learned about it when she found a book in their house. It contained the names of all the children her husband had rescued. She sent the book to a journalist, who then made Winton’s deed’s public. This led to both the That’s Life appearance and to Winton being knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. He received many other honors and recognitions for the rest of his life, and finally passed away at the age of 106 in July 2015.

(A) How Jewish children escaped Europe before World War II.

(C) A special award for people who helped Jewish refugees during World War II.
(D) What life was like for European Jews who fled to Britain during World War II.

(A) He was keen to tell people all about his amazing deeds.
(B) He didn’t know that he would meet the people he’d saved during the TV show.
(C) He became Sir Nicholas Winton after his deeds were discovered.
(D)    His family had left Europe long before World War II broke out.

      34. How did Winton save the lives of so many Jewish children?
(A) By getting the British government to accept every Jewish refugee.
(B) By letting numerous Jewish children stay with him in Britain.
(C) By talking the German government into freeing the children.
(D) By getting the children out of Europe and finding them homes.

      35.  How did Winton’s actions became known to the general public?
(A) A journalist interviewed him and then wrote news stories about him.
(B) He appeared on a TV show alongside many people he’d saved.
(C) The people he’d saved asked the government to find him.
(D) He wrote a book in 1988 that told the story of what he had done.

      36. Which of the following sentences is TRUE?
(A) Every train of children Winton organized successfully left Czechoslovakia.
(B) Winton was not fully recognized for his deeds until he passed away.
(C) Some of the children Winton saved were able to thank him in person later in life.
(D) The British government accepted refugees of all ages.

When you think of Japanese food, sushi and ramen might instantly spring to mind. One   of Japan’s most common dishes, however, is nattō, which is made with fermented soybeans. Nattō is usually eaten as a breakfast meal, and it’s frequently served along with soy sauce,


karashi mustard, Japanese onions, rice, and an egg. Despite how common this traditional dish is, nattō is not universally loved in Japan. That’s because it has an acquired taste.
