Brave Frenchman Found Half-way Around the World (NEW YORK)

A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn’t think twice before diving into the freezing East River.

Tuesday’s Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France is the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.

He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.

“I didn’t think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”

Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier (碼頭) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. In an instant, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.

When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.

Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.

The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his tale of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.

“I don’t really think I’m a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”

Why was Duret in New York?

A. To meet his girlfriend.              B. To work as an engineer.

C. To spend his holiday.               D. To visit the Andersons.

What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?

A. He was interviewed by a newspaper.

B. He asked his girlfriend for his dry clothes.

C. He went to the hospital in the ambulance.

D. He disappeared from the spot quickly.

Who dived after Duret into the river to save the little girl?

A. David Anderson.                 B. A passer-by. 

C. His girlfriend.                   D. A taxi driver.

When was Duret most probably found to be the very hero?

C. The first day when he was in New York.

D. The same day when he was interviewed.

Foods from Around the World

Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from other countries. Here are four people’s experiences with foreign food.

Shao Wong is a student in France. He comes from China. “I’d never tasted cheese or even milk before I came here. Cattle are rare in my part of China, so there are no dairy products. I tried milk when I first arrived in France. I hated it! I sampled cheese too, but couldn’t manage more than one bite. I love ice cream, though, and that’s made from milk.”

Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vacation. “I was in a restaurant that specialized in fish, and I heard some other customers order flake. So I ordered some too and it was delicious. Later, I found out that flake is an Australian term for shark. After that pleasant experience, whenever I see a new food I try it out on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake.”

Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She originates from India. “I’m frightened of eating new foods because they might be made from beef. I’m a Hindu, and my religion forbids me to eat meat from the cow. It’s a sacred animal to Hindus, so that’s the reason I can’t eat hamburgers or spaghetti with meatballs.”

Nathan is American. He taught for a year in China. “My friends gave me some 100-year-old eggs to eat. I didn’t like the look of them at all. The insides were green, but my friends said the color was normal. The Chinese put chemicals on fresh eggs. Then they bury them in the earth for three months. So the eggs weren’t really very old. Even so, I absolutely refused to touch them.”

Life in a new country can be scary, but it also can be fun. Would you sample a 100-year-old egg? Would you order shark in a restaurant?

56. Which of the following sentences is true about Shao Wong?

A. He is a French – Chinese.

B. Cattle are seldom raised in his hometown.

C. He doesn’t like any diary products.

D. He didn’t taste cheese because he hated it.

57. What kind of girl is Birgit?

A. Religious.     B. Brave. C. Confident.   D. Open- minded.

58. Chandra is frightened of eating food made from beef, because _________.

A. It’s against Hindus’ religion.

B. She is a doctor and she thinks beef is not easy to chew and digest.

C. She is an Indian.

D. Hindus think beef is not tasty.

59. The underlined word “Sacred” in paragraph 4 means _________.

A. frightening  B. large    C. man – eating        D.greatly respected

60. What can you infer from this passage?

A. Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from other countries.

B. Despite (雖然) cultural differences in food, have a try and maybe you’ll get used to it.

C. A vacation is a good way to learn about new foods. Be sure to go on vacation more   often.

D. People dislike eating new foods only because their religion forbids it.
