The Red Cross is an international organization which cares for people who are in need of help. A man in a Paris hospital who needs blood, a woman in Mexico who was injured in an earthquake, and a family in India that lost their home in a storm may all be aided by the Red Cross.

The Red Cross exists in almost every country around the world. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent, the Red Mogen Daid, the Sun, and the Red Lion. All of these agencies share a common goal of trying to help people in need.

The idea of forming an organization to help the sick and wounded during a war started with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859, he observed how people were suffering on a battlefield in Italy. He wanted to help all the wounded people regardless of which side they were fighting for. The most important result of his work was an international treaty called the Geneva Convention(日内瓦协定). It protects prisoners of war, the sick and wounded, and other citizens during a war.

The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881. Today the Red Cross in the United States provides a number of services for the public, such as helping people in need, teaching first aid and providing blood.

1.A good title for this passage is ________.

2.The word “aided ” in the first paragraph means ________.

3.The author really tries to make the reader see that this organization ________.

4.We may draw a conclusion (下结论)that ________ during a war.

All over the world, and for many different reasons, there are millions of people who rarely or never eat meat. These people are called vegetarians. To people who eat meat, being a vegetarian may seem like a very strange thing, diets for several different reasons.

First, vegetarians have an enormous health advantage. One of the major health problems in modern societies is not too much protein but too much fat, especially in the form of animal fats. Medical evidence suggests that animal fats, including butter, contribute to the development of cholesterol in the human body. High amount of cholesterol seem to be part of the cause of heart disease. Most vegetarians have low level of cholesterol. High amounts of animal fats also seem to lead to certain kinds of cancer, and vegetarians are typically less vulnerable to these cancers than people who eat a lot of meat. Overall, studies comparing the health of vegetarians and meat-eaters show that the meat-eaters are twice as likely to die of heart disease as vegetarians are.

Better health is one reason that people choose to become vegetarians. Another reason is religion. Some religions forbid the eating of meat. The largest of these is the Hindu religion, which has about 600 million believers in the world. Although not all Hindus are vegetarian, many are, and there are many believers of other religions such Buddhism and even some Christian religions that also do not eat meat.

Many vegetarians do not eat meat simply because they do not like the taste of it. They have no religious or philosophical reasons; they just do not like meat. Another important reason that vegetarians give for not eating meat is the health advantages that were given above. Lastly, there are many people who do not eat meat because they just do not like the idea of killing animals for food. They believe that life, all life, is valuable , and that we do not have to destroy life to feed ourselves when there are other good sources of food.

1.According to the passage, people choose to be vegetarians for the following reasons EXCEPT________.

A．they want to stay healthy

B．they are too kind to put the idea of killing animals

C．they live in areas where meat supply is not adequate

D．they should not eat meat due to their religious belief

2.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2 ?

A．Vegetarians enjoy a more healthy life than the meat eaters.

B．Heart disease and cancer are caused by large amounts of protein.

C．There are twice as many meat-eaters as vegetarians who die of cancer.

D．There are less health problems in modern society due to advanced medical care.

3.What does “vulnerable” mean in Paragraph 2?

A．Having low level of cholesterol.

B．Having high level of cholesterol.

C．Having weak ability to resist diseases and harms.

D．Having strong ability to resist disease and harms.

4.It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A．being a vegetarian may be a very strange thing

B．vegetarians eat meat on some special occasions

C．all vegetarians have reasons for their not eating meat

D．most vegetarians believe that life without meat is happy.

Guide dogs are going to be available for the children who are unable to see normally in the UK for the first time, as the age limit is to be removed. The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is to begin training dogs to help blind people under the age of 16.

The association says too many youngsters with impaired eyesight are lacking in independence. They have only a limited social life because of their disability. Giving some of them guide dogs at a younger age is intended to help them to widen their range of activities and to improve their sense of self-confidence and independence. Guide dogs for these teenagers will begin to be provided from next year. There has been an experimental project to test the use of guide dogs with younger people.

Charlotte, aged 14, was among the youngest guide dog owners. She had been gradually losing her eyesight since the age of eight, and lost her eyesight completely this year. She has been assisted by a two-year-old guide dog. Charlotte used to have a long stick to help her move around, but having a guide dog allows her much more freedom and makes her feel safer.

However, the association says there is a worryingly patchy supply of services for the young blind people across the UK, and it calls for a sharp increase in the number of guide dogs all over the country. As with adult blind people, only a small number of them are likely to be considered suitable for a guide dog. Most will continue to rely on extra help and training from education and social services.

1.What can we learn about guide dogs from the text?

A. They have been provided for teenagers in the UK.

B. They are beneficial to blind children’s development.

C. They became possible in the UK recently.

D. They are quite popular in the UK.

2.What does Charlotte’s example tell us?

A. It is necessary to carry out the experimental project.

B. Guide dogs can get along well with disabled people.

C. The association’s opinion is not quite right.

D. Youngsters need companions and friends.

3.What does the underlined word “patchy” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Endless. B. Perfect. C. Inadequate. D. Diverse.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A. Blind people need guide dogs’ assistance in their daily life.

B. Age limit for the blind to have guide dogs is to be removed.

C. More guide dogs will be trained in the UK.

D. The project of using guide dogs is to begin.
