37、th that everyone can follow: Rest your eyes before they get tired. If you are reading for a long time, you can just close your eyes from time to time or look off at some distant object.

43、from the leading office of Red Cross in U.S.A.?答案: 19044. When was the organization of Red Cross established?答案:in 1859听力原文21-30 Red Cross is the name and symbol of a worldwide voluntary organization. Its purpose is to help the wounded, sick, and prisoners-of-war in time of war, and to do first aid,

44、 nursing, and welfare work in time of peace. In 1859 the sight of the French and Italian wounded due to a battle in northern Italy made a Swiss feel uneasy. His name was Jean Henri Dunant. He set out to rally the local townsfolk to care for them. He published a book urging that voluntary societies s

45、hould be formed to do these jobs. As a result, the governments of several countries took part in an international conference at Geneva in 1864 and drew up a treaty called The Geneva Convention. The principle of this Convention was that in war the sick and wounded, whatever their nationality, should

46、be protected and cared for and that the people looking after them, the transport conveying them, military hospitals and medical equipment should be safe from at- tack. Then a clearly marked red cross and white ground became the symbol of this, Certain countries used other forms. For example, in Pers

47、ia a Red Lion and Sun is used instead of the Red Cross. By now nearly every nation has its own Red Cross Society with similar aims and objects. Since 1864 the original Convention has been revised several times, and the last revision was in 1949. Its principles now apply to shipwrecked persons and pr

48、isoners-of-war, and include certain measures for the protection of civilians in wartime.

They staffed and administered hospitals and ambulan

52、ces, transported the wounded in every theatre of war. They also helped to trace wounded and missing men, During the Second World War they undertook these and many additional duties. The Red Cross Voluntary Aid Detachments shared the work of civil defence in earing for civilian casualties of enemy ac

53、tion. In peace, much of the Societys welfare work is done by Red Cross members who are not trained as Voluntary Aid Attachments. The British Red Cross has overseas branches in the Crown colonies and dependencies where health teaching and maternity and child welfare are important aspects of the work.

54、 The first junior Red Cross sections were formed in 1917, and by now many millions of boys and girls throughout the world are members of the organization.
