The Red Cross is an international organization. It cares for people who are in need of help. A man in Paris hospital needs blood, a woman in Mexico hurt in an earthquake and a family in India lost their home in a storm. All of them may be helped by the Red Cross. The Red Cross is in almost every country around the world. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent（新月）. All of these agencies（機(jī)構(gòu)）share a common goal of trying to help people in need. The idea of forming such an organization started with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859, he saw how people were suffering during the war in Italy. He wanted to help all the wounded （受傷害的） people regardless of（無論）which side they were fighting for. 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 people, such as helping people in need, teaching first aid and providing blood.

In the Charles E.Johnson Elementary School in New York, there is a special radio. It gives people warnings（警報）about bad weather.
One day, there came a sound from the radio. This sound brought the piece of news:a heavy storm was coming. William Tomic, principal（校長）of the school, asked teachers to bring children indoors and put them in a safe place at once.

Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences?
Certainly, there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have you got a pen?” while Americans say “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen?”. Pronunciation is sometimes different.

It is not easy for people to sail (航海) around the world in quite small boats. Sometimes the weather gets bad. Accidents can happen easily and quickly.
One family once had an accident. A big fish swam under their boat and bit holes in it. Sea water came in and the boat soon went down. Luckily these people had another small boat——a lifeboat, so they all got into the lifeboat. They lived in the boat for many days. They ate and slept, and always hoped. At last people in a ship saved them.
How do people live in a very small lifeboat for a long time? They must be strong in every way, they must have a hope, and they must have a strong desire（愿望）to live. People cannot drink seawater. If they drink a lot of sea water, they will quickly die. They must catch rainwater and drink it. They must also catch fish and birds for food. Lifeboats do not often carry cookers. So people can not cook their food in the lifeboats. Raw (生的) fish and birds are not very nice but they are their only food. They must eat raw food, or they will die.
小題1:When the boat sank (下沉), the lifeboat gave the people _______.
A．foodB．bedsC．rainwaterD．hope
小題2:One family once had an accident at sea, because _______.
A．their boat met bad weatherB．their boat hit a big rock and it was broken
C．nobody knew how to sailD．a(chǎn) fish bit holes in their boat
小題3: People can catch _______ for food and drink at sea in a lifeboat.
A. fish and birds                    B rainwater
C. both sea water and rainwater        D. both A and B
小題4:From the article (文章) we can know that ______.
A．It’s not interesting to sail around the world.
B．Fish in the sea are so dangerous.
C．we must have a strong desire（愿望）to live when we are in danger.
D．Nobody knows when we will die.
