The UN

The UN – bringing everyone closer togetherI am pleased to have this chance today to talk to you about the United Nations, or the UN, as it is more often referred to. The UN is an international organization made up of countries that want to promote world peace. I am very happy to have been chosen to be a Goodwill Ambassador for them. Being a Goodwill Ambassador means that I visit countries where the UN operates programmes to help people. I feel very honoured to have been able to take on this role. Later I shall tell you about some of the work I have done. First I should give you a short description of the UN.So, when was the United Nations set up? It was set up just after the Second World War, in October 1945 by 51 countries. Today, nearly every nation in the world belongs to the UN—192 nations altogether. The UN has four main functions: to keep international peace; to develop friendly relationships among nations; to work together in solving international political conflicts and in promoting respect for human rights; and to be a centre for organizing the actions or work of different nations.As you know, the UN touches the lives of people everywhere. The organization is helping end some of the world’s most horrible conflicts. The UN does not have its own army. Instead it borrows soldiers from different countries that belong to the UN. With the help of these armies and other worthy organizations, the UN assists the victims of wars and disasters. In addition, the UN helps protect human rights and works to improve international laws, for example, those on child labour and on equal rights for minorities and women.That is a little about the UN. Now let me tell you about the work I have been doing with them. My job with the UN is not paid but voluntary, and as I said before, I visit countries where the UN has programmes to help people. So, how do I help by visiting these countries? Well, if I visit these countries, the television and press will follow and record my visits. This will increase people’s knowledge of the work of the UN. In addition, my visits w ill encourage people working on the projects and draw local people’s attention to the situation.I have visited many countries in Africa. Recently, I was fortunate enough to travel to South Africa, where I met some women who have organized themselves into a group. They collect approximately 1.35 yuan per day from each member and add it to some money contributed by the government. With this, the women have enough money to acquire materials to make baskets. They then sell these at the market for a profit. With luck their group will be able to expand and maybe set up a shop. Such programmes can transform people’s lives by giving them the ability to provide for themselves and their families. There are lots of worthwhile programmes like this under the umbrella o f the UN that have helped millions of people across the world.Apart from the urgent problems caused by war and conflicts, the UN helps countries with other problems such as lack of education, starvation, disasters, AIDS and other diseases. At a UN meeting in 2000, all of its members agreed to try and meet eight development goals by the year 2015. One of the goals is to ensure that clean water is available to everyone, as in many places water is not safe to drink unless it is boiled. Another is to ensure all children complete primary education. For more information, you may like to look it up on the UN website. So you see, with the work of the UN the world has been brought closer together.。

now he’s doing an English course on the Internet.Ⅰ.阅读理解AWhen I revealed that I was planning to travel around Britain by public transport,everyone I saw said,“Gosh,you’re brave!”but it never occurred to me to go any other way.Driving in Britain is such a dull experience these days.There are far too many cars on the road,nearly double what there were when I first came here,and in those days people didn’t actually drive their cars.They just parked them in the driveway and cleaned them once every week,or so.About twice a year they would “get the car out” for a pleasant drive to visit relatives or take a trip.Now everyone drives everywhere for everything,which I don’t understand because there isn’t a single feature of driving in Britain that has even the tiniest measure of enjoyment in it.Just consider the average multi-storey(多层的) car park.You drive around for ages,and eventually find a space that is exactly two inches wider than the average car.Then,because you are parked next to a pillar(柱子),you have to climb over the seats and end up squeezing out of the passenger door,in the process transferring all the dirt from the side of your car to the back of your smart new jacket.Then you go hunting for some distantpay-and-display machine,which doesn’t give change.And that’s just one tiny part of the driving experience.There are all the other annoyances of motoring,like traffic lights on busyroundabouts(环状交叉路) that never let you advance more than 20 feet at a time,and motorway service areas where food is much more expensive.Motorized vehicles are ugly and dirty.They occupy every pavement,turn ancient market squares into disorderly and untidy groups of metal,and cause petrol stations and other discouraging places to appear in great numbers.They are horrible and awful and I wanted nothing to do with them on this trip.1.Why did the author decide to travel by public transport?A.Because he didn’t have a car.B.Because he hated driving in Britain.C.Because he wasn’t familiar with roads in Britain.D.Because he was inspired by how people used to travel.2.What did the author mainly complain about in Paragraph 2?A.The inconvenience of parking cars.B.The unreasonable parking fees.C.The uncleanness of car parks.D.The improper use of cars.3.How is the last paragraph developed?A.By providing examples.B.By making comparisons.C.By following the order of time.D.By following the order of space.4.What would the author probably talk about in the paragraph that follows?A.The terrible places caused by vehicles.B.The bother caused by driving cars.C.His travels by public transport.D.His past driving experience.BSummer CampsMake your summer magical with a one-of-a-kind summer camp experience!Half-day,week-long camps are held from 9 am-12 pm or 1 pm-4 pm.Daily

Or scanning a QR code (二维码) to buy goods from a newspaper ad.By making use of these new technologies, China mobile shopping is a bit ahead of the United States. China is still the world's largest smart phone market, even though growth is slow. It accounts for about 30 percent of the global smart phone market, and Chinese smart phone users are expected to jump from 526.8 million to 640 million in 2018, according to eMarketer. And its shoppers are using their instruments to rush to purchase a wide range of goods and services.Nearly half of all China's e-commerce sales, totaling $505.7 billion, are made with mobile devices, versus roughly one-quarter in the US, according to eMarketer. By 2019, China's mobile sales will account for 71 percent of those sales.“We don't see mobile buying staying unchangeable for the next five years,” said Monica Pearl, eMarketer's directo r of forecasting. “It'll increase because consumer behavior has changed.”Feature­rich(功能多样的), cheap smart phones are also helping fuel the boom, she added.“China is, after all, a mobile first market,” explains Brian Buchwald, CEO of consumer intelligence firm Bomoda. So it has been able to go beyond other markets, which mainly used PCs for purchases.Meanwhile, the Chinese government has allowed a free-flowing retail and payments marketplace. “There are no restraints(约束),” said Michael Zakkour, vice president of China / Asia Pacific practice at Tompkins International.And that's good news for WeChat, a messaging app that's only five years old and is offered by the Internet giant Tencent. The app now has 650 million users. And a good mass of them are using the app for mobile shopping. The result is that WeChat payments, along with Alibaba's Alipay, lead the market. Because retailers can easily set up shops inside WeChat, users can plan family vacations, order a taxi or even buy clothes without going anywhere else.China is up to three years ahead of the US in mobile shopping, said Buchwald. “And it's moving faster than any other area of the economy. It's the future.”1.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A.China has more goods than the United States.B.America's new technologies are as good as China.C.China's smart phone market is larger than that of the United States.D.American smart phone users will be ahead of Chinese in 2018.2.According to Monica Pearl, why is mobile shopping increasing in China?A.Chinese are fond of using these new technologies.B.Nearly half of all China's e­commerce sales are made with mobile devices.C.Smart phones are cheaper than any other country in the world.D.The behavior of customers has changed.3.Which best describes the Buchwald's attitude toward Chinese mobile shopping?A.Doubtful.B.Optimistic.C.Cautious.D.Worried.参考答案： 1.C; 2.D; 3.B解析： 1.[细节题。
