(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 was 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(码头) 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. Immediately, 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 story 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.”
1.Why was Duret in New York?
A. To meet his girlfriend. B. To spend his holiday.
C. To work as an engineer. D. To visit the Andersons.
2.What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?

In this digital age, we search almost everything online before we decide what to do. According to a US-based business reviewing website, the top searches at different times of the night in different European countries vary a lot. Below are some of the more interesting findings. Take a look.
Italy: While most Europeans are searching for restaurants or bars around 6 p.m., the Italians are searching for messages, shoes and job agencies.
Germany: Coming from perhaps the most organized and efficient country, the average German is attracted to food and drink. Having looked up restaurants and bars earlier in the evening, they have already been searching for breakfast and brunch by 9 p.m.
UK: Karaoke is one of the most popular pastimes in Asia, but in Europe, the UK seems to be the only nation to look first for Karaoke bars in its Internet searches, roughly around 9 p.m. Later into the night, Britons are going to 24-hour pharmacies (药房)by 10 p.m., and then there is a steady interest in 24-hour food stores and delivery, until 1 a.m.
France: The French call it a day online quite early, at about 10 p.m. But they don't do it until they've had a chance to put their dancing shoes on, after searching for “night club” and “dance”.
Spain: The Spanish seem to be quite practical. They search for elementary schools and dermatology(皮肤科) at 10 p.m., followed by swimming lessons at midnight.
1.A man searching for education information online often probably comes from ________.
A. Spain
B. UK
C. France
D. Germany
2.What can we learn from the text?
A. The Italians don't like restaurants or bars.
