Water is one of the most
useful things on Earth. It gives us life. We drink
it, bathe in it, clean with it
and use
it to cook food. We think water is something soft
and gentle, but sometimes water is so powerful
that it can even be
destructive
(破坏性的)
. Here we
are talking about floods.
There
are
two
main
kinds
of
floods:
flash
floods
(
暴洪
)
and
slow
floods.
Flash
floods
are
sudden
floods of great
volumes of
(大量的)
water. They overflow
(漫过,溢出)
the banks of the
rivers and
wash away everything they
touch into pieces. Flash floods are destructive.
The other type is slow floods.
They
rise over a long period of time. Usually as more
and more rain falls, the water in rivers rises and
land
floods. These slow floods happen
in every country in the world.
Floods
are
the
world
’
s
biggest
natural
killer.
When
floods
happen,
crops
(庄稼,农作物)
are
damaged,
houses
are
washed
away,
roads
are
destroyed,
and
people
are
killed.
Every
year
in
America
water kills on average 138 people, most
in flash floods. Floods also cause huge economic
damage. It is
reported that in recent
years, floods have caused billions of dollars in
damage each year.
Floods are a serious
problem. Worse still, they may become more
powerful and frequent
(经常性的,
频
繁的)
as global warming
becomes more and more serious. Around the world,
sea levels will rise, and
more lives
wil
l
be
taken
by the flood waters of our
planet.

The
Red Cross
is
an
international
organization.
It
cares
for
the
people
who
suffer
(遭受苦难)
because of war, hunger, illness,
natural disasters, etc. It is always among the
first to provide help to
victims
(受害者)
when
a flood happens or an earthquake
occurs
.
The idea
of the Red Cross came to
Henri
Dunant
, a Swiss banker, in 1859. On a
hot June day of that
year, Henri Dunant
was traveling on business in Northern Italy. There
he learned that about 40,000 were
left
to die for
lack of medical care.
Immediately Henri
Dunant organized the
local people to gather the
wounded and
care for them in homes and churches. These people
became the first volunteers of the Red
Cross.
When
Dunant
returned
home,
he
wrote
a
book.
In
his
book
he
called
on
all
nations
to
set
up
organizations to help
wounded soldiers. His idea was later accepted. In
1864, the Red Cross was founded.
Because of this brilliant idea, Henri
Dunant,
the founder of the
Red Cross
,
became the first
person ever to
win
t
he Nobel Peace Prize
.
Today the Red
Cross
’
s work has become
international, and it has offices in more than 60
countries.
The great work of the Red
Cross helps so much that it has been awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize twice: once

How the Red Cross Helps People in Trouble
C.
In
social
studies
and
science
class
(社会科学课)
,
the
students
of
Mrs
Green
’
s
class
learned
about
natural disasters,
15
hurricanes
(飓风)
,
floods and earthquakes. They learned that the Red
Cross
helps people after disasters
occur. Therefore, they decided to earn money to
donate to the Red Cross.
At the
beginning of the term, the students held a
meeting. They suggested many ideas for making
money in order
16
others. Some wanted to wash
cars. Others wanted to make and sell
food.
Still
others wanted to baby-
sit
(替人带孩子)
. They found that
many parents need help with their children after
school; so the class decided to start a
Help Kids Group. They would
17
and tutor
children after
school.
Later
they held
18
meeting and discussed the
following questions: How will they
start
the
service? What prices should be charged
for the service? How much time should each person
spend on it?
They decided that each
student would give two hours a week to the
service. They would advertise their
service
and
tell
people
what
the
money
would
19
for.
They
would
also
send
notes
to
parents
telling them about the service and its
purpose.
A month
20
, the students reported on
their work and exchanged baby-sitting experience.
Besides, a kindergarten
teacher talked to them about how to baby-sit well,
and their social science
teacher taught
them how to manage their money
(理财)
.
