In 1859, during the war time, a Swiss man named Henry Dunant passed a town in Italy where many soldiers had been wounded. Dunant thought they should be cared for. A Swiss organization used his idea in 1863. When the organization became international, it was named the International Committee of the Red Cross.

ICRC's emblem is a red cross on a white ground. People use it as a sign for army doctors. There are ICRC offices in many countries around the world now. 20, 000 ICRC workers are helping people in 100 countries.

In China, there is an organization named the Red Cross Society of China (RCSC). It is a part of ICRC. It started in 1904. Most of the people in RCSC are either full­time workers or volunteers. RCSC also has organizations in many schools. Student members learn to look up to the elderly and to help the weak. They are also taught to give medical care to people who are in danger.

Helping others is easier than you think. You don't need to wait to become a rich man like Bill Gates to help the poor. You can become a volunteer, you can donate(捐献) your time, you can donate your old clothes and so on. And by doing so, you can become a better and happier person.

Choose some people to support, for example, homeless people, poor children and so on. All of these are suitable (合适的).

Decide what you are able to give. Yes! Sometimes it isn't only money—you can donate your time as a volunteer; you can donate your knowledge to teach poor children; you can donate your old clothes, you can donate food or you can share a meal with a hungry child.

Tell people about it. Tell your friends or your children. Write it in your blog or on your website. In this way, the good work you do will be multiplied (增加)!

63. People usually think helping others is ____.

Most people would say that charity is always good, but not everyone would say so. Some argue that charity is sometimes carried out badly or not as well as it should be. Is that true?

Some believe that charities often focus on symptoms (症状) rather than causes. The charity helps receivers with their problems, but it doesn't do much to deal with the causes of those problems.

But in fact, a lot of charity work is being done to deal with the main causes of problems, for example, trying to reduce global poverty (贫穷), or doing research into diseases like cancer (癌症). Fighting against cancer is mostly a scientific problem, while global poverty needs more than a scientific operation, or finding a better way to manage world resources.

Some also say that charity may not offer the best solution to a problem. Charitable giving may not be the quickest way. Indeed charitable giving may even distract some people from finding the best solution. If that is so, the effort of charity might be better carried out by asking governments to make some changes. However, that may mean millions of people will starve(饿死) in the short term, though it helps save many more people in the long term. And for most of the needy, a bird in the hand really is a lot better than two birds in the bush.

70. According to Paragraph 2, it is believed by some people that charities ____.

A. often deal with problems directly

B. succeed in working out the causes of some problems

C. are trying their best to work hard on the causes of problems

D. need to put more effort into dealing with the causes of problems

71. According to Paragraph 3, fighting against poverty ____.

A. is only a scientific problem

B. has nothing to do with scientific study

C. is not connected with world resources

D. is much more difficult than fighting against cancer

72. According to the passage, charity____.

A. is always good

B. always has bad results

C. is not useful

D. is not always good but not so bad

People don't run for health every time. A running event took place in Washington D. C. on Saturday morning. Many people took part in the event. They wanted to raise money for the eight students at the Washington Latin School.

The students are planning a 10­day trip to China. They have learned Chinese for years. They are interested in Chinese culture and want to learn more. But long­distance traveling is expensive, so the students need money.

Christina teaches Chinese in the school and she is the trip organizer (组织者). She hoped people could give a hand to make the students' dream come true. So she came up with the idea—the running event.

People needed to pay $20 each if they took part in the event. In the end, the students raised $3, 000 in total. And their school would also give them $500.

Rose began to learn Chinese six years ago. She is always active in Chinese class. She is excited about making friends with the Chinese people. She is even teaching herself how to use chopsticks now.

The students will go to Beijing, and then Changsha, in central China's Hunan Province. They will stay in a school, visit food markets and have a cooking lesson there.

十、One possible version：

In the past, pollution was very serious in an area in the south­west of our country. Forests were cut down and turned into farmland. Lots of wild animals lost their living areas or were even killed. So they were in danger at that time.

However, luckily, some WWF officers came to the place one day. After they learned about the situations there, they took action to improve the environment and protect forests and wild animals.

Now great changes have taken place there. There is less pollution. The environment is getting better. Therefore, the number of wild animals is becoming larger and larger.
