It started as a special day for Wesley Autrey, a 50-year-old construction worker in New York City. It was about 12:45 P.M., and he was waiting on a subway platform (月台) to take his daughters home before he went to work. He suddenly noticed a man nearby have convulsions (抽搐) and fall down suddenly. Mr. Autrey and two women went to help the stranger. The man, Cameron Hollopeter, managed to get to his feet, but then stumbled (绊倒) at the edge of the platform and fell onto the subway tracks. Mr. Autrey looked up and saw the lights of the subway train coming near through the tunnel.

Mr. Autrey jumped onto the track immediately. He realized that he didn’t have time to get Mr. Hollopeter and himself back up on the platform before the train arrived, so he lay on top of the man and pressed down as hard as he could. Although the driver tried to stop the train before it reached them, he couldn’t. Five cars passed over them before the train finally stopped. The cars had passed only inches from his head.

New York loves a hero. Mr. Autrey became an overnight hero and was named the “Subway Superman”. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg gave him the Bronze Medallion, the city’s highest honor. He was asked to appear on several TV talk shows. He was also rewarded with money and gifts, such as $10,000 from Donald Trump, a $5,000 gift card from the Gap clothing store, a new Jeep, and Beyonce concert tickets.

How did Autrey react (反应) to all this? He said, “I don’t feel like I did anything great; I just saw someone who needed help. I did what I felt was right”.

1.When Mr. Autrey saw Cameron Hollopeter, he _____.

A. was leaving for work

B. was talking with two women

C. was waiting for the train home

D. was getting ready to pick up his daughters

A. quite calm　　 B. very proud

An 8-year-old 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 on Christians, 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.

Seven victories later, the elementary school boy is one of the top players in the country for his age group. “He works very hard at his game,” Martinez said, believing Tani could achieve master status in the next year or two. The world’s youngest grandmaster qualified at the age of 12.

As Tani’s story hits national headlines, more people want to help. Makofsky, who set up a GoFundMe for Tani, said the family has received offers for a car, legal services, jobs and even housing. “My hope is that he’ll be in a home tonight,” Makofsky said.

1.How did Makofsky find Tani’s achievement?

A.Confusing. B.Amusing.

C.Amazing. D.Ridiculous.

2.Shawn decided to abandon Tani’s fees because　 .

A.Makofsky told him to do so

B.Tani's family were unable to pay costs associated with their daily life.

C.Shawn took charge of the chess program

D.Tani had a great gift for chess.

3.What can we learn from Tani’s story?

A.All things are difficult before they are easy.

B.A good beginning makes a good ending.

C.A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

D.God helps those who help themselves.

4.What’s the best title for the text?

A.A Chess Coach Helped to Support a Nigerian Child

B.A Nigerian Family Hit National Headlines in the USA

C.A Homeless Nigerian Won the State Chess Championship

D.An 8-year-old Became the Youngest Grandmaster in 2019
