Supergran: Hero or Fool?

Ann Timson is an awe-inspiring seventy-year-old grandmother. Why? Because she is a hero!
Last week, Ann Timson was talking to a woman on the street when she heard a commotion. She saw six men shattering the windows of a jewelry store in broad daylight.
Realizing that other bystanders “did nothing,” she stepped in. She dashed across the street and hit one of the robbers with her shopping bag bringing him to the ground. The man was pinned down by other people who finally came to her aid.
Remarkably, all of this was captured by a freelance cameraman who happened to be nearby. The video was a huge buzz on YouTube.
The supergran insisted she was “not a hero” but “somebody has to do something.”

Section 5 - Reading Comprehension B

In 1976, Muhammed Yunus, a Bangladeshi professor of economics, started a new kind of bank. Grameen Bank gives small loans – usually no more than US$ 100 – to indigent people who can’t get credit from normal banks. This kind of credit is called microcredit.

97 percent of Grameen’s clients are women. They make the most of their credit by starting small businesses such as conceiving furniture, sewing clothes or breeding animals for milk.
There are some rules to follow: people have to make groups of five people called “loan circles.” If one of them doesn’t pay back the loan, no one in the group can get credit in the future. However, if everyone follows the rules, they can get bigger loans.

In 2007, Grameen Bank had over seven million customers in nearly eighty thousand villages. There are now seven thousand microcredit organizations all around the world.

Professor Yunus and Grameen Bank won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006.

True or False: Professor Yunus invented the microcredit.
