題
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.

(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

36. Which
of the following sentences is TRUE?

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.

題
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. In fact, its strong smell,
which may bring to mind strong cheese, slimy texture, and unique flavor turn
many people off of the dish.
The exact
origin of nattō is not known, though its ingredients and the tools required to
produce it have existed since ancient times. A popular nattō creation story
centers on the famous samurai Minamoto no Yoshiie. The warrior and his army are
said to have been involved in a battle in 1086. At one point, while boiling
soybeans for their horses, they were attacked. They quickly packed the soybeans
into straw bags and left the area. By the time they opened the bags a few days
later, the soybeans had fermented. Regardless, the soldiers liked the taste and
ate them up.
These
days, it’s estimated that only 70% of the Japanese public likes nattō. However,
around half of the 30% that doesn’t like it still eats nattō for its numerous
health benefits. Nattō is low in calories, but rich in essential vitamins and
minerals. Why not look for restaurants serving nattō next time you’re in Japan?
Be sure to try this one-of-a-kind dish for yourself!
