Most biographies are organized in the order in which events happened. Whilst we are reading a biography, it’s a good idea to make a timeline to record and track追踪 important information, such as dates, places and key events. This can be a useful way of displaying the kind of life the person led and even, sometimes, what he/she was really like.

(Para. 3）
In December 1938, a friend asked Winton to come to Prague to aid people who were escaping from the Nazis. In Prague, Winton saw people living in terrible conditions and whose lives were in danger. He decided to help transport children to safety in Britain. He established an office to keep records of the children, and then returned to Britain to find temporary临时的 homes for them. He used donated捐献的 funds and his own money to pay the 50 pounds per child that the British government required. By August 1939, Winton had saved 669 children.
①. Why and How did Winton save the Jewish children
(Para. 4)
During World War II, Winton served as an officer in Britain's Royal Air Force(皇家空军). He left the military in 1954. He then worked for international charities and for various companies. For the most part, he did not mention the children he saved, and his actions soon disappeared from people's memories.
②. Why do you think it took such a long time for Winton’s actions to become known
(Para. 5) That all changed in 1988 when his wife Grete found a forgotten journal at home. The journal contained photographs and names of the children and addresses of the families that took them in. She sent the journal to a newspaper, and that year Winton was seen on the British television programme That's Life. At one point, the host asked people in the audience to stand up if Nicholas Winton had saved their lives. A shocked Winton watched as the majority of people rose to their feet. The programme brought his actions to public attention, and Winton became a respected figure (人物）around the world.
