Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search a football. Once theyd rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.“Everything went quiet in my head,” Tim recalls（回忆）. “Im trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back,” he says. “I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella!”“Lets aim for the pier（码头）,” Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim?” he cried. “A little bit,” the boys said.Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys faces.“Are we almost there?” they asked again and again. “Yes,” Tim told them each time.After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.21.

BAt the beginning of the twentieth century, American laborers(劳动者) often worked long hours for little pay.Many worked under extremely dangerous conditions.About five hundred thousand workers, however, had joined groups called labor unions, hoping to improve their situation.In 1900, the largest national organization of labor unions was the American Federation of Labor.Its head was Samuel Gompers.Gompers had moved to New York with his parents when he was thirteen years old.He was twentyfour when he began working for the local union of cigar makers.He worked for the labor movement for sixty years.Samuel Gompers had helped create the AFL in the late 1880s.He led the organization for all but one year until his death in 1924.Gompers defined（明确） the purpose of the labor movement in America.He also established the method used to solve labor disputes（纠纷）.Gompers thought unions should work only to increase wages, improve work conditions and stop unfair treatment of workers.He called his method pure and simple unionism.Samuel Gompers sought（争取） immediate change for workers.He used group actions such as strikes as a way to try to force pany owners to negotiate(谈判)Gompers was criticized for going to social events with industry leaders, and for promising（妥协） too easily with employers.But Gompers believed such actions helped his main goal.He believed if workers were respected, their employers would want to make working conditions better.Under the leadership of Samuel Gompers, the labor movement won its first small gains.For example, the federal government recognized the right of workers to organize.That happened when union representatives（代表） were part of the National War Labor Board during World War .Yet conditions for American workers continue to improve as employers realize that treating their workers well is good for business.24Labor unions were formed to_.Aprotect laborers rights and benefits Bfight with the employersCshorten the working hours Dmake the laborers feel sad25From the passage we can learn_.AGompers moved to New York to join in labour movementBGompers spent most of his life on labor movementCGompers never promise with employersDGompers was not the first leader of AFL26Which of the following disputes may NOT be solved by the unions according to Gompers opinion?Aworkers wanted to get more salary Bsome workers were given unequal treatmentCworkers demanded for childrens education fees.
