Sportsmanship appeared again Sunday when three men stopped their Philadelphia Love Run Half Marathon to help a sick woman to the finish line.

The woman was found nearly falling over for energy loss by runner Bryan Crnkovic and another—yet unknown man —just a few hundred yards from the finish line. The pair caught her before she fell and with the help of Joseph McGinty, carried her to the finish line.

“It’s just what we do,” said McGinty. “You just see someone who needs help and you just want to help. We were just under that two hour mark, and most people came here for that, and 1 thought she probably trained hard so why shouldn’t she h it it, you know?”

Crnkovic and the other man were the first to find the woman. They put her arms over their shoulders and helped her down towards the finish line, but it became clear that she was too tired to continue. That was when McGinty doubled back to help finish the job. He lifted the woman up and carried her to the finish line so that she could cross it on her own two feet. The pair then handed her over to doctors, who took her away in a wheelchair.

The scene, caught by Fox 29, went viral as the pair’s warm-hearted actions won over the crowds. “ I got a call from my cousin Bill, saying ‘You’re on F acebook, you’re on the news’”, said Crn kovic. He wasn’t the only one looking-the scene earned much praise online, with one user, Mari Cross Johnson saying, “Their parents have to be proud for raising men like this. They’re the types of people I want to have my back.”

11. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. The importance of helping others.

B. How the three men helped the woman.

C. Why the three men helped the woman to the finish line.

D. The high expectation the three men had for the marathon.

12. Why did the woman nearly fall over?

A. Because she lost her way.

B. Because she was too tired to run.

C. Because she was caught by an unknown man.

D. Because she was found by runner Bryan Crnkovic and another unknown man.

13. What can be inferred from Mari Cross Jognson’s words?

A. The three men’s parents felt very proud.

B. The three men’s actions were surprising.

C. The three men were really well-educated.

D. The three men set others a good example.

B

There are so many rabbits across Australia that it may be surprising to learn that they are a non-native species. A few rabbits arrived with British settlers in 1788, but it was not until 1859, when a British-born farmer named Thomas Austin brought 24 European rabbits to his land for hunting, that they began to live there. They are an excellent example of an invasive species, a non-native species that does harm to its new environment.

Rabbits have lived well in many different environments within Australia, such as grasslands, coastal areas, farmland, and even in towns or cities. Their activities have destroyed crops and plants. They compete directly with other wildlife for food and shelter，including taking over burrows (地洞) of other animals. They have led to dangerously reduced populations of many plant and animal species.

Efforts to control the rabbit population have had mixed success. The first main effort was the
