  Two of the most famous symbols in the world are the Red Cross and the Red Crescent. They are the symbols of the International Red Cross Society and the Islamic version of the same group,the International Red Crescent Society. Both societies do the same thing：they help people who have been injured (受傷) in war or natural disasters (災(zāi)難) such as floods and earthquakes.

  In June,1859 a Swiss man named Jean-Henri Dunant organized emergency aid for hundreds of French and Austrian soldiers who lay wounded (受傷的) and dying after the Battle of Solferino in Italy. He wrote a book about what happened and suggested that voluntary relief groups should be organized in every country. People around the world read his book and in 1864 the first groups formed under the name "International Red Cross".

  Their plan was to have ambulances (救護(hù)車) to help the injured in wartime. These ambulances would have large red crosses on them. Soldiers on both sides would know that these ambulances had injured men in them and would not attack them. It was not long before the Red Cross had hospitals on the battlefields (戰(zhàn)地) and ships to carry the injured soldiers. Now they even have flying helicopters in the sky.

  As time passed the Red Cross grew larger. Now they have blood banks and take food to people who are starving (饑餓) .Wherever there is a disaster,either the Red Cross or the Red Crescent will be there.

(   ) 11. Which countries fought the Battle of Solferino?

   A. Italy and France. B. France and Austria.

   C. Austria and Italy. D. Italy and Switzerland.

(   ) 12. What was Dunant's book about?

   A. The aid for the soldiers at the Battle of Solferino.

   B. People around the world.

   C. The war between France and Austria.

   D. The International Red Cross Society.

(   ) 13. What did Dunant think every country should have in his book?

   A. Helicopters. B. His book.

   C. Ambulances. D. Voluntary relief groups.

(   ) 14. Who read Dunant's book?

   A. French and Austrian injured soldiers in the Battle of Solferino.

   B. All the people injured in natural disasters.

   C. People around the world.

   D. Only people in France and Austria.

(   ) 15. What is the main idea of this passage?

   A. Jean-Henri Dunant organized aid for hundreds of French and Austrian soldiers.

   B. The Battle of Solferino was fought more than one hundred years ago.

   C. The Red Cross &Red Crescent Societies help people injured in wars or natural disasters.

   D. Now the International Red Cross has blood banks and helicopters.
