Ⅱ.阅读理解 A An 8­year­old Nigerian, Tani Adewumis, whose family is homeless, won first place at the New York State chess championship without a single defeat at the beginning of 2019 and he says he is not done yet. “I want to be the youngest grandmaster，” Tani told The New York Times. Tani placed first in the tournament for kindergarten through third grade—an outstanding win for anyone. “It's unheard of for any kid, let alone one in a homeless shelter，” said Russell Makofsky, who is in charge of the chess program. Tani hasn't had an easy life. His family left northern Nigeria in 2017 fearing attacks , and moved to New York City over a year ago where the boy learned how to play chess at school. School chess coach Shawn Martinez saw Tani's potential after observing him stand out in the game a few weeks after first learning it early last year. He reached out to Tani's family about joining in the school's chess program, and learned they were unable to pay costs associated with membership. Shawn decided to abandon Tani's fees, which can easily reach thousands with travel and chess camp admissions.
