Wong Fuk-wing(黃福榮), a Hong Kong volunteer（志愿者）at an orphanage（孤兒院）in Yushu, was killed in the earthquake when he was trying to save others on April 14, 2010.

Wong managed to run safely out of the building with some children when the first quake happened at 7:50 am on April 14, but he went back inside to rescue three other children and three teachers inside, although he knew the danger of aftershocks（余震）.

At 10 am, all the children and one of the teachers were saved. However, Wong was buried under the fallen building and died. The other two teachers were still waiting to be rescued.

46-year-old Wong was a truck driver, who often said he could only give his efforts to charity（慈善）instead of money, as he did not earn a lot. His tragic（悲劇的）end touched the hearts of many people both in Hong Kong and on the mainland.

Wong began volunteering in 2002. In 2003, Wong was told by the doctor he got serious illness, which gave him a great blow. However, the illness did not deter the warm-hearted man. When the earthquake struck Wenchuan is Sichuan Province in 2008, Wong rushed to the disaster area of Shifang to offer his help though his family did not want him to go.

In fact, Qinghai is a place Wong had often visited since 2006. As a volunteer, he gave out medicine and clothing to the orphanage there. No one could expect that Wong would die helping others.

Hong Kong Chief Secretary Henry Tang Ying-yen said he had “the highest respect” for the hero who gave his life for others. “What he did has shown the Hong Kong spirit.” The citizens of Hong Kong called him “ the pride of Hong Kong’s people” and people on the mainland have also praised him as “ a true hero”.

A．a(chǎn)fter he sent medicine and clothing to the orphanage

D．a(chǎn)s the first earthquake happened

2.The underlined word “ deter” in Para. 5 refers to “      ”.

A．prevent

B．refuse

C．beat

D．encourage

3.What can we know about Wong from the passage?

A．He never visited Qinghai before 2010.

B．He was supported by his family being a volunteer.

C．He was thought highly of by the Chinese.

D．He was a taxi driver before he died.
