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(日內(nèi)瓦協(xié)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.

A good title for this passage is     .

 A. People in Need of Help       B. Safety and Protection

 C. The International Red Cross   D. Forming an Organization to Help People

The word “aided ” in the first paragraph means     .

  A. needed                 B. helped               C. caught               D. protected

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

  A. costs very little money            B. works in many nations

  C. teaches first aid if necessary        D. is called the Sun

We may draw a conclusion (下結(jié)論)that      during a war.

  A. the Red Cross only protects the wounded

  B. the Red Cross only helps prisoners of war

  C. the Red Cross only helps citizens

  D. the Red Cross helps all the people in need no matter which side they are fighting for

閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題。（請注意問題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求）

Your children are so different-they each have very different talents, skills, and personalities, so it can seem natural to give them labels（標(biāo)簽）. For example, one child may be the “smart one” or the “artist” or the “troublemaker”. Although it is easy to                    , you can be hard for your children.

Downsides of Labels

When kids are given negative（消極） labels they often feel that parents don’t expect or want them to change, and they may feel that they should live up to their negative labels. For example:

The “messy child” may see no reason to try to be neat and tidy when his parents have already defined his role in the family.

The “troublemaker” may feel that any attempt to be good will be ignored.

The “wild child” may think that he or she might as well continue to do crazy things

because parents expect it.

Even positive labels can be problematic as children may feel uneasy to meet their parents’ expectations, and often feel uncomfortable that their parents seem to like them more than a brother or sister.

Avoiding Labels

Remember that each child is unique and has the ability to do many things and act in many different ways.

Focus on the positives. For example, if your child, who always seems to be running late, but gets to the dinner on time, be sure to praise him for being on time.

Don’t let children lock themselves into roles-encourage children to try things they are interested in.
