Their heartbroken parents do not join them. Indeed, they fear they may never see their children again. But they know that their children will live. These are among the 669 children, most of them Jewish, that Nicholas Winton will go on to save from death at the hands of the Nazis. 2 Nicholas Winton was born on 19 May 1909 in London, to German-Jewish parents. The family later took British nationality. On leaving school, Winton worked in banks in Germany and France. He returned to Britain in 1931, where he worked in business. 3 In December 1938, a friend asked Winton to come to Prague to aid people who were escaping from the Nazis. In Prague, Winton saw people living in terrible conditions and whose lives were in danger. He decided to help transport children to safety in Britain. He established an office to keep records of the children, and then returned to Britain to find temporary homes for them. He used donated funds and his own money to pay the 50 pounds per child that the British government required. By August 1939, Winton had saved 669 children. Activity 5 Language points 4 During World War II, Winton served as an officer in Britain’s Royal Air Force. He left the military in 1954. He then worked for international charities and for various companies. For the most part, he did not mention the children he saved, and his actions soon disappeared from people’s memories. 5 That all changed in 1988 when his wife Grete found a forgotten journal at home. The journal contained photographs and names of the children and addresses of the families that took them in. She sent the journal to a newspaper, and that year Winton was seen on the British television programme That’s Life. At one point, the host asked people in the audience to stand up if Nicholas Winton had saved their lives. A shocked Winton watched as the majority of people rose to their feet. The programme brought his actions to public attention, and Winton became a respected figure around the world. 6 Later, Winton received various honours for his achievement, including a knighthood in 2003, and the Czech government’s highest honour, the Order of the White Lion, in 2014. 7 Nicholas Winton passed away on 1 July 2015, at the age of 106. As the Chinese saying goes, “A kind-hearted person lives a long life.” Activity 5 Language points Think Share 1. What adjectives would you use to describe Winton’s personal qualities? kind-hearted/warm-hearted, merciful, helpful, generous, considerate/thoughtful, courageous, affectionate, modest, wise, ... 2. Why do you think Winton never mentioned his story? Because Winton might have thought it was normal to help others when they were in trouble, so it was not worth mentioning. Activity 6 Think &Share He Fengshan (何凤山) was the Consulate General of China in Austria (中国驻奥地利总领事) from 1938 to 1940. He granted thousands of visas to Jews to help them flee the Nazis. For the most part, he did not mention the Jews he saved. He passed away in 1997 at the age of 96. Later, people learned about his story and he was given several honorary titles. 3. Do you know of any Chinese who have acted in a similar way to Winton? If so, share their stories with the class. Think Share Activity 6 Think &Share Work in groups.

Now I am pleased to talk about Nicholas Winton, a respected figure of mine, who is well-known as “The British Schindler” across the world. 　　Nicholas Winton was known for organising the rescue of 669 children from death at the hands of Nazis. In 1938, he was invited by a friend to Prague to help transport children living in terrible conditions to safety in Britain. Besides, he used money to pay required money for their living expenses. In 1954, he left the military and then worked for international charities and various companies. However, Mr Winton didn’t mention the saved children. 　　Sir Winton kept his entire plan completely secret, even his wife had no idea about his planning until fifty years later. The story became known to the public in 1988 when it featured on That’s Life, a BBC TV programme. Various honours were awarded to Sir Winton for his extraordinary achievement, kindness as well as modesty. 　　His deeds inspire us to help others when we can, which will make a great difference. 　 语法填空（根据课文内容和语法规则完成短文） Nicholas Winton，born on 19 May 1909 in London， once worked in banks in Germany and France after school and returned to Britain in 1931，1 　　　　 he worked in business.
