Mr. Sun is in the hot seat for stealing a woman’s seat on a high-speed train on Aug 21, 2018.
A video online showed the man, Sun, taking a window seat in a second-class coach（车厢）of a train from Jinan to Beijing on Tuesday and refusing to give it to the woman who had the seat on her ticket.
“You have three choices — stand, take my seat or go to the dining coach,” Sun told the young woman in the video. According to the tickets, Sun’s seat was one row behind the woman’s. Sun refused to return to his own seat, saying that he couldn’t stand up. When asked by a train worker why he did not stand up, he answered “I did not know how”. He kept his words even after the train arrived at his stop, requiring train workers to find a wheelchair for him. Clearly, he did not need one when getting on the train. Later, the woman was led to the business-class coach where she was given a better seat for the trip.
The video quickly spread online. Many internet users criticized（批评）Sun for his actions. Some even dug up his name, education and work history and posted the information online. In the end, Sun was fined 200 yuan and will not be allowed to buy train tickets for 180 days.
This punishment was based on rules for dealing with troublesome passengers set out by railway authorities（政府部门）. The rules came into use on May 1, 2018. According to the rules, passengers who disturb（扰乱）public order will be fined up to 500 yuan and be prevented from buying train tickets for some time.
However, more things like this have still happened, pushing authorities to work out even more strict rules. On Sept 19, Mrs. Zhou took a window seat on a train from Hunan to Guangdong. When the window seat passenger asked her to give the seat back, she refused.
In turn, the government of Guangdong province set up new rules that came into use on Dec 1. High-speed train passengers who refuse to move after taking others’ seats will face fines from 500 to 2,000 yuan. Their information will be shared with other parts of the national railway network, which will influence their right to buy train tickets.
1.What may the underlined words “in the hot seat” mean in Paragraph 1?
A. staying in the centre of a room
B. facing the public’s attention
C. being in a warm seat
D. entering a popular situation
2.According to the passage, which is the right order of the following things?
① A worker in the train tried to ask the man return to his own seat.
② A man took a woman’s seat on a high-speed train.
③ The railway authorities worked out related rules.
④ The man was fined 200 yuan.
⑤ The woman had to sit on another seat.
A. ③⑤②①④ B. ②①⑤④③ C. ③②①⑤④ D. ②①⑤③④
3.What can be inferred（推断）from the passage?
A. Mr. Sun’s legs were hurt and couldn’t stand up.
B. Fewer people would like to take a high-speed train because of the new rules.
C. People in Guangdong will be limited to take a plane if they break the new rules.
D. Authorities will make more strict rules to prevent such kind of things happening.

There's a heat that's so hot you can literally(不加夸张地) fry an egg in the sun. This is a serious side to summer in Australia that you might not know about.
