Tongai Matandirotya, who works at Brass Bell Restaurant near Cape Town, left behind his own safety to dive into the cold Atlantic ocean to rescue a mother and daughter swept off the pier (长堤) by a sudden wave.
It was a relatively calm day in the fishing village of Kalk Bay. Several people were walking by the window of Brass Bell looking out to the water. Then the scene changed.
“I saw this wave come over the harbor and cover the people, dragging them into the ocean. I immediately ran outside, undressed myself, and dived into the water because I saw a child go in as well.” Tongai said.
37-year-old Clair Gardiner and her 8-year-old daughter Arya were the people swept away by the wave. Gardiner knew they were being pulled into the water as soon as the wave rushed over them, and she managed to wrap her arms around little Arya.
By now Tongai had dropped the drink he was pouring, taken off his belt and jumped into the water—followed by a tourist unnamed by the news reports. By then the ferocious waves, even just a few meters from shore, had pulled Gardiner and Arya apart. Tongai used his belt to rescue Arya who wasn’t able to stay afloat by herself.
“I recently went to the restaurant to thank him,” Gardiner told local news. “My daughter recognized him immediately, and we all embraced each other. We are so thankful to Tongai and the tourist man who risked their lives to save ours; we’ll forever be grateful to them.”
Tongai noticed he had been badly scratched up by the concrete wall of the pier, but he didn’t care about it. Brass Bell congratulated their man on Facebook, saying they were “so proud” of him, with several comments adding reminders to “tip him well”.

Research from a UK charity has found that girls are likely to become less interested in sports as they move into their teenage years.
Women in Sport conducted a poll (调查) of more than 4,000 teenagers and found that 43 percent of girls felt they had been sporty as primary school students, but no longer saw themselves this way.
“Worryingly, girls lose their love of sport and exercise during teenage years, and this presents a significant psychological barrier throughout life,” the report said.
The majority of those who no longer considered themselves sporty said they had become less interested in sports because they didn’t like other people watching them.
The girls also spoke about how anxiety over their appearance led them to be less likely to participate in sports. The boys examined in this study didn’t show any change in their willingness to take part in sports. This points to a relationship between the mental well-being of girls and their willingness to engage in sports.
“It’s an absolute travesty (嘲讽) that teenage girls are being pushed out of sport at such a scale,” said Stephanie Hilborne, the chief executive of Women in Sport. She added that losing sports at this formative stage of their lives was equal to “a loss of joy as well as good lifelong health”.
“It is well documented that taking part in physical activity can have a profound and positive effect on mental well-being as well as provide many important life skills such as resilience (适应力), teamwork and communication,” she added.
The charity is calling on schools and sports clubs to increase the focus on keeping girls interested in sports, which can help them gain confidence when facing pressure from social media and their peers. Sports are crucial to keeping people active and social through puberty (青春期), which can already hit a young person’s self-confidence.
5. What do we know from the survey conducted by the UK charity?A.Girls who are interested in sports don’t experience psychological barrier. |
B.It is most commonly seen among teenagers that they lose passion in sports. |
C.A large number of girls gradually become less interested in sports. |
D.About half of the girls lose love in sports when in primary school. |
A.They don’t like to be the focus of others. |
B.They worry about their looking when doing sports. |
C.They are afraid of being compared with the boys. |
D.They are mentally unwilling to do sports. |
A.Equipping themselves with lots of meaningful life qualities. |
B.Learning to understand their feelings when facing pressure. |
C.Developing better relations with their friends. |
D.Keeping a good shape of the body. |
Robots used to be found only in science fiction. In the 1960s, the animated (动画的) space-age family the Jetsons had a robotic maid who could do household chores. In the 2014 movie Big Hero 6, the robot Baymax could diagnose and heal illnesses instantly. In real life robots function in many manufacturing and household situations. In the field of medicine, robot patients help train doctors and nurses by pretending they have a variety of health conditions. Now robots are finding a home in the food service industry.
The global pandemic and resulting economic crisis have created a lack of restaurant workers. Since restaurants don’t have enough workers, the remaining staff must work harder. Regardless, customers face longer wait times, fewer menu choices and higher prices. Some businessmen are lending a robotic hand in the form of server robots. These robots are not exactly modeled after Rosey, the Jetsons’ robotic household servant, but they are pretty clever.
Server robots come in several different varieties. Many have a design that looks like a rolling cart. One model named Bella even has a cute cat-like face. Many are fairly short and shaped like R2D2 of Star Wars fame. They, designed to deliver dishes, are also just the right height for customers to easily reach them. Restaurant owners are finding server robots ideal for performing repetitive tasks, however many there are. They can not only deliver delicious food to hungry customers, but also fetch back dirty dishes at the end of the meal.
Perhaps you’re wondering about issues such as the cost and safety factors. Concerning the price, a server robot costs from a few thousand to several thousand dollars. And in 2021, a restaurant even rented one for as low as $15 per day. Regarding safety, special sensors on the robots keep them from crashing into customers. Because there aren’t enough restaurant workers, filling positions with these robotic servers is easy. Don’t be surprised if you see one rolling up to your table soon.
8. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To give some examples. | B.To make comparisons. |
C.To state the development. | D.To introduce the topic. |
A.The rise of labor costs. | B.The hard work in the restaurant. |
C.The influence of the pandemic. | D.The drop of food service industry. |
A.Customers will be satisfied with the server robots’ service. |
B.A server robot may look like a rolling cart with an ugly face. |
C.Server robots are not qualified for doing many repetitive tasks. |
D.Server robots will help clean dirty dishes at the end of the meal. |
A.Doubtful. | B.Positive. |
C.Worried. | D.Objective. |
What do you do when you have a few minutes to spare? If you’re like many people, you seize the opportunity to do puzzles on your phone.

Jigsaw puzzles also fall into this type.
Logic puzzles
