As many of us know, having an older relative can be demanding especially when it comes to addressing concerns about their safety. Yes, grandma might still be able to function on her own during routine activities, but what if she was targeted by criminals and robbed in her own home?
Good news: there’s a simple solution. Just have your grandmother start weightlifting at the gym every day until she becomes a world-famous weight lifter capable of laying some sick Dwayne Johnson smackdown on any intruder foolish enough to try and smell what she’s probably cooking. It’s extreme, but it works, apparently.
As reported by the Associated Press, on November 21st, 2019, a young man approached the home of 82-year-old Rochester resident Willie Murphy, claiming that he needed an ambulance. When Murphy called first responders without opening the door, the man reportedly forced his way into the house.
And that, as the old saying goes, is when things got real.
The intruder was apparently painfully unaware that Murphy is an award-winning bodybuilder whose near-daily trips to the local YMCA have resulted in her ability to lift over 200 pounds, a capability which she put on full display when she “hit him with a table”. She then beat the intruder with a broom, and in a self-defense maneuver, poured shampoo in his face. Police arrived on the scene in time to witness the would-be burglar getting the crap kicked out of him by an old lady.
Murphy, who won the 2014 World Natural Powerlifting Federation Lifter of the Year award, decided not to send him to court, instead using the time to win everybody in the world over with the quote “I was whaling on that man... ‘Cause I said to myself, ‘If it’s my time to go to hell, I’m taking him with me’ “.
And, in case you were worried, the man got his ambulance ride after all.
1.Why did the young man come to Murphy’s home?
A.He was paying Murphy a visit. B.He was planning to rob Murphy.
C.He expected Murphy to call an ambulance. D.He was attracted by the smell of Murphy’s cooking.
2.What do we know about Murphy from the passage?
A.She is as strong as Dwayne Johnson. B.She was worried about the intruder.
C.She started weightlifting at a very young age. D.She works out in the local gym almost every day.
3.What happened to the young man in the end?
A.He was charged with burglary. B.He went to hell with Murphy.
C.He was knocked down by the police. D.He was taken away by an ambulance.
4.What is the tone of this news report?
A.Humorous and ironic. B.Serious and bitter.
C.Persuasive and entertaining. D.Sympathetic and positive.

Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt.

Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.
“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said 'Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?' My heart missed a beat. ”
Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.
“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man's room, but I could see the passage.
