Sir Nicholas Winton was a British man who went to heroic efforts， potentially putting himself at risk， during World War Ⅱ. Sir Winton was responsible for ensuring the safety of 669 Jewish children by aiding their escape from countries occupied by the Nazis. Finally， the Jewish children were brought to England where he worked to make sure families in his native country would help the kids by taking them into their homes.

Braveheart is a historical film released in 1995. It was directed by and starred Mel Gibson and was loosely based on the story of 13th-century Scottish leader William Wallace. The movie was a surprise winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture.

After William Wallace’s father and brother are killed in the battle against the English， Wallace is sent to continental Europe to be educated. He returns to Scotland as an adult （played by Gibson） and marries his childhood sweetheart， Murron. When English soldiers try to hurt Murron， Wallace saves her but the soldiers make a second attempt and she is caught and killed. Wallace then leads his family to fight the English troops. He continues to fight to force the English to leave Scotland， gaining increasing numbers of followers as stories of his brave acts spread. English King Edward Ⅰ sends Princess Isabella， his son’s wife， to negotiate with Wallace for peace， but she is charmed by him and becomes his supporter. She warns Wallace of an upcoming attack from the English.

Wallace seeks the support of the Scottish nobles in the fight against the English， but the nobles are hesitating. Robert the Bruce is particularly torn. The Scottish fighters are defeated by an army led by King Edward Ⅰ in the Battle of Falkirk. Wallace tries to kill King Edward Ⅰ himself but is stopped by a soldier， who proves to be Robert the Bruce. Robert then saves Wallace from being caught by the English. Later Wallace agrees to meet with Robert in Edinburgh， but Robert’s father and other nobles set a trap and catch Wallace. They hand over Wallace to the English. Wallace refuses to give in and before being killed， he courageously cries out， “Freedom！”

The movie was inspired by a lengthy poem about William Wallace by Blind Harry. It led to an increase of interest in Scottish history， although it contained numerous historical inaccuracies.

1. What can we learn about the film from Paragraph 1？

A valuable sketch （素描） from World War Ⅰ has turned up in a garage （车库） sale in Perth. It’s a sketch of soldiers playing soccer with a tin can during an unofficial truce （停战） between German and Allied soldiers on the Western Front in 1914. The artwork was drawn by an unnamed German soldier during the war on the Western Front.

The artwork was given to Private Jack Shelley， a British soldier， when he was defending the town of Frelinghien， France. The sketch is an important historical document， as it provides evidence that the tales of both sides at war socializing together are true. But for Jack’s family it has even greater value， since it was his prized possession.

Jessie Shelley， Jack’s great-granddaughter， has fond memories of the old man sharing stories about his experiences in the war. “Great-grandpa had a tobacco tin with a dozen or so buttons from the uniforms of men from both sides. To great-grandpa they represented real people he had known， some of whom couldn’t come home from the war. He had at least two buttons from German uniforms that he told us were exchanged between the men involved in the truce，” Jessie Shelley said.

On the day of truce in 1914， the soldiers came out of their trenches into no-man’s-land and shared food， drinks and cigarettes. Some even exchanged small gifts. The men even played football games together. Later， this spirit of cooperation continued in unofficial agreements between the sides to stop shooting at mealtimes and even at times when soldiers were working in the open.

This fascinating image of peace and humanity during the war has continued through the years. The sketch is a symbol of the potential for humanity， hope and kindness to exist in even the most violent circumstances.

5. In what situation was the sketch done？

A. In a garage. B. On the front line.

C. At a special sale. D. After a soccer match.

6. Why is the sketch an important historical document？

A. It marks the ending of the war. B. It explains the reason for the war.

C. It shows soldiers’ bravery in the fight. D. It proves the peace between warring sides.

7. What did Jack say about the buttons in the tobacco tin？

A. They were collected in 1914. B. They were from German uniforms.

C. They represented his honor. D. They lived in his heart like real people.

8. What impact did the day of truce have？

A. It brought about more truces. B. It resulted in more celebrations.

C. It led to more official agreements. D. It started wide information exchanges.
