It is August 1939, and a group of frightened children are boarding② a train at Prague’s Wilson Station.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 of③ the Nazis.

“英国辛德勒”:尼古拉
斯·温顿的生平
1939年8月,一群心惊胆战的孩子在布拉格的威尔逊车站登上一辆列车。而他们伤心欲绝的父母却没有上车。他们确实害怕也许再也见不到自己的孩子了,可他们知道他们的孩子会活下来。这些孩子大多数是犹太人,他们是尼古拉斯·温顿即将从纳粹的死亡之手里解救的669名儿童中的一部分。
Nicholas Winton was born on④ 19 May 1909 in London, to German-Jewish parents.The family later took British nationality⑤.On leaving school, Winton worked in banks in Germany and France. He returned to Britain in 1931, where he worked in business.
介词on表示“就在……之后,一……就”。
where引导的非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Britain。
④be born on +日期 出生于某日
be born into/to/of ...出生于……情况(家庭等)
⑤take British nationality 获得英国国籍
nationality n. [U,C] 国籍
尼古拉斯·温顿1909年5月19日出生于伦敦,父母是德裔犹太人。这一家人后来获得了英国国籍。从学校毕业后,温顿先后在德国和法国的银行工作。他在1931年返回英国经商。
In December 1938, a friend asked Winton to come to Prague to aid⑥ people who were escaping from⑦ the Nazis. In Prague,Winton saw people living in terrible conditions⑧and whose lives were in danger⑨.He decided to help transport children to⑩ safety in Britain. He established⑪an office to keep records of⑫ the children, and then returned to Britain to find temporary⑬ 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.
动词-ing短语living in terrible conditions在此作后置定语,和whose引导的定语从句一起修饰people。
过去分词作前置定语,修饰funds。
that引导的定语从句修饰先行词the 50 pounds per child。
⑥aid /eId/ vi. & vt.帮助,援助
⑦escape from... 从……中逃跑,逃离……
⑧live in...conditions 生活在……环境中
condition 在此表示“(居住、工作或做事情的)环境,境况,条件”,常用复数形式。

1938年12月,温顿的一个朋友请他来到布拉格,帮助人们逃脱纳粹分子的魔掌。在布拉格,温顿看到人们生活在绝境中,连生命都受到威胁。他决定帮忙把孩子们转移到英国安全的地方。他开设了一个办事处,记录孩子们的信息,然后回到英国为他们寻找寄养家庭。他用捐款加上自己的钱支付了英国政府向每个孩子征收的50英镑的费用。截至1939年8月,温顿已经解救了669个孩子。
During World War Ⅱ, Winton served⑭ as an officer in Britain’s Royal Air Force. He left the military⑮ in 1954. He then worked for international charities⑯ and for various companies. For the most
part⑰, he did not mention the children he saved, and his actions soon disappeared from people’s memories.
省略了关系代词的定语从句,修饰先行词the children。
⑭serve vi. & vt. 熟词生义 服役
⑮military /'mIlIt(ə)ri/ n.[C]军队 adj.军事的,军队的
the military 军人,军队,军方(作主语时,谓语动词用单复数均可)
⑯international charities 国际慈善机构/组织
⑰for the most part 多半,通常
二战期间,温顿成为英国皇家空军的一名军官。1954年,他离开了军队,之后在一些国际慈善机构和多家公司工作过。他很少提及自己解救的那些孩子,于是他的事迹渐渐淡出了人们的记忆。
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 in⑱. She sent the journal to a newspaper, and that year Winton was seen on the British television programme That’s Life. At one point⑲, 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 feet⑳.The programme brought his actions to public attention㉑, and Winton became a respected㉒ figure around the world.
as引导的时间状语从句。
⑱take in 收留,留宿
⑲at one point 曾经,一度
⑳rise to one’s feet 站起身来
㉑bring ... to public attention使……引起公众注意
㉒respected adj. 受尊敬的,受敬重的
a respected figure 一位受人尊敬的人物
[词链]respect(vt.& n.尊敬)—respected (adj.)—respectable (adj. 体面的,得体的,值得尊敬的)—respectful (adj. 表示敬意的,尊敬的)
直到1988年,他的妻子格蕾特在家中发现了一本被遗忘的日记,一切都发生了改变。日记本中夹着孩子们的照片,记录着孩子们的名字和寄养家庭的地址。她把这本日记送到了一家报社。那一年,温顿上了英国的一档电视节目——《这就是人生》。节目中,主持人问在场观众中有没有被温顿救过的人,如果有请起立。看到大多数人站了起来,温顿感到很震惊。这个节目让温顿的善举被公众了解,也让温顿被世界各地的人们尊敬。
Later, Winton received various honours for his achievement㉓, including a knighthood㉔ in 2003, and the Czech government’s highest honour, the Order of the White Lion㉕, in 2014.
㉓achievement /ə'tʃiːvmənt/ n.[C]成绩,成就
㉔knighthood /'naIthʊd/ n.[C](英国的)爵士封号或头衔
㉕the Order of the White Lion 白狮勋章

Nicholas Winton passed away㉖ on 1 July 2015, at the age of 106. As the Chinese saying goes, “A kind-hearted person lives a long life.”
固定用法,意为“俗话说,常言道”。
㉖pass away 去世
尼古拉斯·温顿于2015年7月1日与世长辞,享年106岁。这恰恰印证了中国的一句古话:仁者寿。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Rugiatu Favour Kanu, an Agriculture graduate from Njala University,wants to leave the future of farming in good hands. That’s why she started her business, Slay Farms, in Sierra Leone(塞拉利昂).On her over 40,000 square metres of land, Rugiatu works with other women farmers while teaching them everything she knows about sustainable agriculture. This effort has earned her the nickname “The Slay Farmer”.
Slay Farms is more than just a company; it’s also a community. By building a network of farmers who share their skills, Rugiatu has created a space where women with shared goals can help each other. The farm hosts a variety of learning events to spread information about the latest sustainable agricultural technology. It also connects farmers with a wider market for their goods.
“ In a country where agriculture is a key sector and the majority of the population is engaged in farming, building relationships with other farmers can also help young agribusiness entrepreneurs (企业家) understand the local context, including the challenges and opportunities that exist,” she wrote in a post on the website of Slay Farms.
She continued, “I encourage young farmers to adopt new, improved methods of farming, and I believe by supporting each other, they can create a more sustainable agricultural sector in Sierra Leone, contributing to the country’s economic growth and development.”
According to SwitSalone, Rugiatu also works for the Produce Monitoring Board. As a Quality Control Coordinator, she helps to make sure that local farms are putting out the best possible produce for domestic and global distribution.
Rugiatu’s contributions to promoting agricultural innovation and giving other women farmers a leg up in the industry earned her the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders. This program has taken her to Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, Georgia for academic and leadership courses that she’ll be able to apply to her work back home. Plus, it will afford her numerous networking opportunities to continue growing her agricultural community!

Volunteers make a significant difference in the lives of others. Often, they perform with the intention of helping those in need. 1 Certain activities can have therapeutic (治疗的) effects. From lowering stress to increasing self-confidence, volunteering offers many health benefits.
2 Volunteers perform important roles in their duties. They serve as greeters providing patient room information and directions and as Critical Care waiting room attendants. Outside of a healthcare setting, volunteers improve our beaches, parks, and other public services. Volunteers’ work is necessary to everyday processes, providing them with a sense of purpose.
Volunteering helps you meet others and develop new relationships. One of the best ways to make new friends and strengthen existing relationships is to take part in a shared activity. 3 Spending your time working as a volunteer also helps you expand your network and practice social skills with others.
Volunteering helps you develop a feeling of gratitude. This social emotion isn’t always the easiest to express due to inherent vulnerability (固有脆弱性), but it can strengthen relationships with those closest to you. Volunteering allows you to take a step back to look at the bigger picture, which can help you realize never take life for granted and always be appreciative of what you have. 4
Volunteering may reduce stress levels. 5 By enjoying time spent in service to others, you will feel a sense of meaning and appreciation, both given and received, which can have a stress-reducing effect.
A.What do you hope to get out of volunteering?
B.There are many organizations that actively seek volunteers.
C.It’s the little things you have that give you a sense of satisfaction.
D.Volunteering teaches valuable skills and gives a sense of purpose.
E.Volunteering may strengthen a person’s social networks to relieve stress.
F.But do you know that volunteering can benefit your own health as well?
G.Volunteering is a great way to meet new people who share common interests with you.
