● Welcome to the Unit
Step 1: Brainstorming
As we all known, we human beings are often stricken by natural disasters. Can you name some of them?
flood, fire, volcano, earthquake, typhoon, hurricane, tsunami, desertification, sandstorm
tornado, drought…
Do they have anything in common? What’s it?
They share one common feature, that is, they cause a great deal of damage to buildings and hurt lots of people.
Would you ask for help if you were involved in a natural disaster? Which organization or person would you turn to for help?
firemen, policemen, PLA men, doctors, governments, Red Cross, hospitals, first-aid station…
Step 2: Sharing information
1. Let’s watch a series of news first. What can we learn from the news?
The whole world is a large family. We make every effort to help the people in trouble, no matter who they’re.
To help the people in trouble more efficiently, more and more international organizations are set up. They help many people around the world to have better lives, especially when things go wrong. What organizations do you know of that can help with the people in trouble?
For reference
美國慈善國際組織（Mercy Corps）
英國全球伙伴組織（Global Partner）
愛爾蘭關懷組織（Ireland’s Concern）
法國“淚水”基金會（French Tear Fund）
亞洲醫生聯合協會（AMDA）
世界宣明會(World Vision)
…
For reference
Actually, there are many governmental organizations and non-governmental organizations that aim at improving the harsh situations. The International Committee of the Red Cross is dedicated to providing humanitarian aids in different areas around the world. Doctors Without Borders or Medecins Sans Frontieres ( MSF) is an independent international medical relief organization that aids victims of armed conflicts, epidemics and natural and man-made disasters, and others who lack health care due to social or geographical isolation, There are also some other organizations in the world which serve the purpose of offering help to those in need.
2. Look at the six pictures at page 49, these pictures present situations where people need international aid. Let’s have a discussion about them.
Picture 1
Can you guess from the caption what the main tasks of peacekeeping soldiers are?
To keep the peace in the countries or areas where there have been wars or conflicts.
Do you think these soldiers play an important role in maintaining the world peace?
Do you think this kind of job is very demanding, challenging and risky? Why or why not?
When you grow up, would you like to do this kind of job if you had the chance? Why or why not?
Picture 2
What can you see in the picture?
It is a picture of African children living in a poverty-stricken area. They suffer from malnutrition and hunger because of lack of food..
Can you imagine what will happen to these hungry children if nobody helps?
Some of them may die of hunger.
How do you feel when you see this picture?
How can we help them?
Picture 3
What can you see in the picture?
A flooded area.
Suppose your home was struck by a flood, what would your life be like? Would you still live a normal life as before?
No. For example, the roads would be blocked by the broken trees; the means of communication and traffic-roads and railway would be cut off.
Picture 4
What can you see in the picture?
Water is being pumped into the fields.
What factors can ensure a good harvest?
Proper methods of farming, fertile soil, sufficient volume of rainfall, enough sunlight, advanced technology, etc.
What would happen if there was not enough water for farming?
Farmers would be very worried about their crops if there was a drought, as a drought sometimes can cause a famine.
Picture 5
What is the doctor in the picture doing?
Working to help people in poor countries.
Why do you think that doctors and nurses need to go to poor areas or countries to help?
People in poor areas don’t have money to go to hospital if they are ill. In addition, hospitals in these areas cannot provide the doctors and nurses with enough training or equipment.
Picture 6
Apart from the problems listed above, people in poverty are still facing many other difficulties. Can you name some of them?
Do you think children can receive good education and good medical care in poor areas?
Can their daily necessities be guaranteed? If not, what will happen?
For reference
International aid aims to help people, especially those in the poverty-stricken areas in some developing countries, to improve their living standards and better their lives.
Besides, it offers timely and appropriate medical help and provides sufficient educational opportunities for the children. For more information, you can visit the following website: http: //www.gospelcom.net / ia /
Step 3: Discussion
Have you ever helped people in need? What did you do to help them?
Yes, I have. I remember when I was in primary school, the teacher asked us to donate our pocket money to Project Hope. I gave all my pocket money that I saved a long time. Though it was not much, I still wanted to do something to show that I cared. I also had a pen friend from a rural area in northern China when I was in junior high school. Apart from exchanging information about our lives with her, I occasionally mailed her some of my spare books and stationery. During the Spring Festival, I also shared my red packets with her.
Step 4: Homework
1. Collect more information about international organizations helping people in need.
2. Prepare the Reading part.
Reading The UN-bringing everyone closer together
Step 1: Lead-in
Now, we’re studying in the large, bright classroom equipped with advanced facilities. In this environment, most of us believe we can realize our dreams as long as we work hard. But look at these pictures. Do you think they have dreams as well? What do you think they can do to realize their dreams?
So, we know that in other parts of the world, there are lots of children who are still struggling with starvation or war. Have you ever thought about doing something for those children to help them realize their dreams? If you have, what would you do?
For reference
1. Make a donation to help more children in poor areas to attend school.
2. Help to raise the public’s awareness about the plight of the poor.

Step 1: Brainstorming
1. As we all know, the United Nations plays a very important role in handling world affairs. It touches many parts of our daily lives. The UN works in agriculture, economic growth, education, health, environment, global partnerships and some other fields. The UN is connected to many different organizations that do different projects or programmes.
To know more about the UN organizations, we need to do some research. I suggest you look in newspapers, magazines, books in the library and perhaps on the Internet for more information about how many divisions and organizations are connected to the UN and what they are.

Origin of World Refugee Day
For years, many countries and regions have been holding their own Refugee Days and even Weeks. One of the most widespread is Africa Refugee Day, which is celebrated on 20 June in several countries.
As an expression of solidarity with Africa, which hosts the most refugees, and which traditionally has shown them great generosity, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 55/76 on 4 December 2000. In this resolution, the General Assembly noted that 2001 marked the 50th anniversary of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, and that the Organization of African Unity (OAU) had agreed to have International Refugee Day coincide with Africa Refugee Day on 20 June. The Assembly therefore decided that, from 2001, 20 June would be celebrated as World Refugee Day.
Step 4: Homework
Read the transcript in Part B on page 129 in Workbook.
● Grammar and Usage
Step 1: General introduction
This section teaches four other cases that need to use unreal conditionals. You’ll learn the forms of mixed unreal conditionals, words that can replace if-clauses in implied conditionals and the usage of wish or would rather in unreal conditionals.
Step 2: Revision
As we learned in the last unit, when a sentence is talking about something that is not real or currently impossible, the verb will be used in a special form that expresses a wish, possibility, condition, etc.
Here’re some exercises for you. Choose the best answers:
1. Had you listened to the doctor, you _____ all right now.
A. are B. were C. would be D. would have been
2. _____ any change about the date, please tell me immediately.
A. Will there be B. Should there be C. There will be D. There should be
3. _____ today, he would get there by Friday.
A. Would he leave B. Was he leaving
C. Were he to leave D. If he leave
4. Should it rain, the crops _____ .
A. would be saved B. would have been saved
C. will be saved D. had been saved
5. You _____ come earlier. The bus left a moment ago.
A. would B. should have C. may D. have
6. What should we do if it _____ tomorrow?
A. should snow B. would snow C. snow D. will snow
7. You _____ such a serious mistake if you had followed his advice.
A. may not make B. might not make
C. shouldn’t have made D. might not have made
8. If it were not for the fact that you _____ ill, I would ask you to do this right now.
A. were B. had been C. are D. should be
Keys 1-5 CBCAB 6-8 ADC
Step 3: Explanation and practice
1. We should first pay attention to the forms of the predicate verbs in different tenses when we use sentences in unreal conditional. Let’s remember how to form unreal conditionals of the present, past or future time.
tense If-- clause main clause
present did(were) would/ should/ could/ might do
past had done would/ should/ could/ might have done
future did，should do，were to do would/ should/ could/ might do
2. We use mixed conditionals when the main clause and the if-clause are about different tenses.
e.g. 1) If you had come and attended the meeting yesterday, you would know what we are doing now.
2) If you had followed my advice, you would not be in trouble now.
Now, complete Part A. Pay attention to the different tenses in the if-clause and the main clause.
Answers
A (1) had not studied (2) would not be
(3) had studied (4) would have
(5) knew (6) would be
(7) could help (8) would not be
3. Read Point 2. Sometimes we can use otherwise, or and phrases beginning with with, without and but for to replaces a if-clause in implied conditionals. Pay attention to the verb form in the main clauses.
4. In adverbial clauses introduced by even if, as if, as though and if only we can use unreal conditionals.
In object clauses after wish or would rather the subjunctive verb forms are often used because the speaker thinks what is said in the clause is currently not true or possible, or will not happen. You should know different subjunctive verb forms are used in the object clause according to the time that the event happened or will happen.
e.g. 1) I wish you had met him yesterday.
2) Without your help , we couldn’t have made such progress in my study in the past few years .
3) If only you hadn’t told him what I said! Everything would have been all right.
4) Without electronic computers, much of today's advanced technology couldn’t have been achieved.
5. Read the dialogue in Part B and fill in each blank with a proper word or phrase according to the meaning of the sentence.
Answers
B
(1) Without (2) otherwise/or (3) otherwise/or (4) wish (5)With
(6) Without (7) even if (8)without (9) If only (10) as if

動詞的語氣--虛擬語氣
一、語氣的定義和種類
l、語氣：語氣是動詞的一種形式，它表示說話人對某一行為或事情的看法和態度。
2、語氣的種類：
(1)陳述語氣: 表示動作或狀態是現實的、確定的或符合事實的，用于陳述句、疑問句和某些感嘆句。如：We are not ready. 我們沒準備好。What a fine day it is!多好的天氣啊!
(2)祈使語氣: 表示說話人的建議、請求、邀請、命令等。如: Open the door, please。請打開門。
(3)虛擬語氣: 表示動作或狀態不是客觀存在的事實，而是說話人的主觀愿望、假設或推測等。如: If I were you, I should study English. 如果我是你，我就學英語了。May you succeed! 祝您成功！
二、虛擬語氣在條件從句中的用法
條件句有兩類，一類是真實條件句，一類是虛擬條件句。如果假設的情況是有可能發生的，就是真實條件何。在這種真實條件句中的謂語用陳述語氣。如: If it doesn’t rain tomorrow, we will go to the park. 如果明天不下雨，我們就去公園。
如果假設的情況是過去或現在都不存在的，或將來不大可能發生的，則是虛擬條件句。如: If he had seen you yesterday, he would have asked you about it. 如果他昨天見到你，他會問你這件事的。(事實上他昨天沒見到你，因此也未能問你這件事。)
在含有虛擬條件句的復合句中，主句和從句的謂語都要用虛擬語氣�，F將虛擬條件從句和主句的動詞形式列表如下:
從 句 主 句
與現在事實相反 動詞的過去式（be的過去式一般用were） would/ should/ could/ might + 動詞原形
與過去事實相反 had + 過去分詞 would/ should/ could/ might + have + 過去分詞
與將來事實相反 動詞過去式，should + 動詞原形，were to + 動詞原形 would/ should/ could/ might + 動詞原形
注: 主句中的should只用于I、we，但在美國英語中，should常被would代替；從句中的should 可用于各種人稱。
l、表示與現在事實相反的假設和結果。如: If my brother were here, everything would be all right. 要是我哥哥在這兒 ，一切都沒問題了。
2、表示與過去事實相反的假設和結果。如: If you had taken my advice，you wouldn't (couldn’t) have failed in the exam. 如果你按照我的建議去做，你一定不會(不可能)考試不及格。
3、表示與將來事實可能相反的假設和結果。如: If it were Sunday tomorrow, I should (would，could，might) go to see my grandmother. 如果明天是星期天，我就 (可能)去看望我奶奶。If it were to snow this evening, they would not go out. 如果今晚下雪，他們將不出去了。
4、有時條件從句中的動作和主句中的動作發生的時間不一致（表示錯綜時間的虛擬語氣），這時動詞的形式要根據它所表示的時間加以調整。例如: If you had listened to the doctor, you would be all right now. 如果你當初聽了醫生的話，身體現在就好了。(從句動作指過去，主句動作指現在)
5、虛擬條件句可以轉換成下列形式:
(l)省略連詞if。在書面語中，如果虛擬條件從句中有were，had 或 should，可以把if省略，把這幾個詞放到主語之前，構成主謂倒裝。例如: Should he come (If he should come), tell him to ring me up. 他要是來了，讓他給我打個電話。Were I you (If I were you), I would not do it. 我要是你，就不做這事。
(2)用介詞短語代替條件狀語從句。如: Without air (If there were not air), there would be no living things. 如果沒有空氣的話，就不會有生物了。But for your help (If it hadn’t been for your help) I couldn’t have done it. 要是沒有你的幫助，我就不可能完成這件事。 I was busy that day. Otherwise I would have gone there with them. (If I hadn’t been busy that day, I would have gone there with them.) 我那天很忙，否則，我就和他們一起去那兒了。(如果我那天不忙的話，我就……)；I would have finished the work, but I have been ill. (If I hadn’t been ill, I would have finished the work.) 我本來該完成這項工作的，但我生病了。(如果我沒生病的話，我就會完成……)
6、省去條件從句或主句：表示虛擬語氣的主句或從句有時可以省略，但其含義仍可以推知。
(1)省去條件從句。如: You could have washed your clothes yourself. 你本可以自已洗衣服的。省去了"If you had wanted to")(事實是:你自己沒洗衣服，因為你不想洗。)
(2)省去主句(常用以表示愿望)。如: If my grandmother were with me! 如果我的祖母與我在一起多好啊!(事實是:祖母已不在世。)；If only she had not left! 如果她沒走就好了!(事實是:她已經走了。)
三、虛擬語氣的其他用法
l、虛擬語氣在主語從句中的用法：在"It is important (strange，natural，necessary)that…"這類句型里，that所引導的主語從句中的謂語動詞常用 “should十動詞原形”結構，表示某事是"重要"、"奇怪"、"自然"、"必要"等意義。如: It is important that every member (should) inform himself of these rules. 重要的是每個成員知道這些規則。
2、虛擬語氣在賓語從句中用法：
(1)在動詞wish后的賓語從句中，表示與現在或過去的事實相反，或對將來的主觀愿望，從句通常省略連詞that。1)表示對現在情況的虛擬:從句動詞用過去式或過去進行式(be動詞一般用were)。如: I wish I knew the answer to the question. 我希望知道這個問題的答案。(可惜不知道)；2）表示對過去情況的虛擬:從句動詞常用"had十過去分詞"。如: I wish (wished) I hadn’t spent so much money. 我后悔不該花那么多錢。(實際上已經花掉)；3)表示對將來的主觀愿望:謂語動詞形式為"would十動詞原形"。如: I wish it would stop raining. 但愿雨能停止；I wish you would come soon. 但愿你立刻來。
(2)在suggest，demand，order，propose，insist，command，request，desire等動詞后的賓語從句中，謂語動詞用“should + 動詞原形”，表示建議、要求、命令等。如: I demand that he (should) answer me immediately. 我要求他立刻答復我。
3、虛擬語氣在狀語從句中的用法
(1)在帶有even if/ even though引導的讓步狀語從句的主從復合句中，主句和從句都用虛擬語氣，動詞形式與含有非真實條件句的虛擬語氣相同。如: Even if he had been ill, he would have gone t his office. 即使生了病，他倆去辦公室。
(2)由as if或as though引導的狀語從句表示比較或方式時。從句謂語形式為動詞的過去式(be用were)或 “had十過去分詞”。如: He treated me as if I were a stranger. 他那樣對待我，好像我是陌生人似的。She talked about the film as if she had really seen it. 她談論那部影片，就好像她確實看過一樣。
注:如果表示的事情可能會發生，那么方式狀語從句中的謂語動詞可用陳述語氣。
4、虛擬語氣在定語從句中的用法：在"It is time (that) …"句型中，定語從句的謂語動詞常用虛擬語氣表示將來，動詞形式一般用過去式，意思是"該干某事的時候了"。如: It’s (high) time we did our homework. 我們該做作業了。
5、虛擬語氣在簡單句中的用法
(1)情態動詞的過去式用于現在時態時，表示說話人的謙虛、客氣、有禮貌，或委婉的語氣，常見于日常會話中。如: It would be better for you not to stay up too late. 你最好別太晚睡覺。
(2)在一些習慣表達中。如: I would rather not tell you. 我寧愿不告訴你。
(3)用“may + 動詞原形”表示"祝愿"、"但愿”，此時may須置于句首（多用于正式文體中）。如：May you be happy!祝你快樂！May good luck be yours.祝你順利。

●Task Helping poor children
Skills building 1: listening for specifics
In this part, you will learn how to listen for problems and the causes of the problems. We always have something specific to listen for when we listen to something. We should try to seize the key phrases or sentences that are relevant.
First let’s have a discussion about the following questions:
If we want to know what the problem is when we are listening to a news report, what phrases or sentences should we pay special attention to?
(The problem is that…/As you can see…/The result is …/This means …)
If we want to know what has caused the problem when we are listening to a news report, what should we pay special attention to?
(This is because…/This problem has been caused by…/Unfortunately, …/…as…)
Step 1: finding out about problems
1. Now read the guidelines in Part A on page 58 to find out what you’ll listen for and what you are asked to do in this part. Go over the table in Part A. Then listen to the tape, trying to complete the table.
Tapescript
Reporter: Here I am in northern Thailand. As you can see, the families living here are living in very poor conditions. There is no running water and no electricity in this village. Water has to be collected from the river 10 minutes’ walk away. This may seem near but when you need water for many things, walking 10 minutes is a long time. The water then needs to be boiled before it can be used. The result of not boiling the water is illness. As you can see, the villagers’ houses are built of wood and are not very strong. This is because they have no money and cannot get hold of any materials. The people have very few things like clothes or furniture because they have no money and they are a long way from the nearest town. There is a bus but you have to walk six kilometers to get to the nearest road.
As I said earlier, there is no electricity in this village, so when it is dark, the only light comes from the small fires that the family cooks over. Unfortunately, much of the forest around the village has been cut down for firewood and so the villagers have to walk further and further away from the village to get wood. This also means that water may not be boiled for long enough as there is very little wood. This is going to be a big problem in the future.
Answers
A (1) no running water (3) no money (4) few clothes or furniture
(5) no electricity (6) forest has been cut down
2. Listen to the second part of the report and finish the table in Part B on P59.
Now listen to the lecture for a second time, and finish Part A & Part B on P33.
Tapescript
Reporter: Over there you can see the school. As the village is poor, the school has no roof. There are no chairs either, so the children have to sit on the floor. When it rains, school is stopped. Many children, especially the girls, do not go to school because they have to stay at home and help their parents or grandparents with the farming of their small pieces of land. All the farming is done by hand as the villagers have no money for equipment. It is difficult to raise animals because of the small amount of land and water available. Because of this and the lack of fresh water, many of the children have poor diets. A common problem is that they de not eat enough meat to get the amount of protein that they need. As a result, they do not grow properly and cannot concentrate on learning. Another problem is that many of the children’s parents have died because of AIDS. This means that the grandparents have to bring up the children. That is very difficult because they are already old and poor.
Answers
B
(1) poverty
(2) many children, especially girls, do not go to school
(4) all farming is done by hand
(5) small amount of land and water available
(6) children have poor diets
(7) children do not grow properly
(8) many of the children’s parents have died of AIDS
(9) grandparents have to bring up children
(10) grandparents are old and poor
3. Read the report in Part C. Try to get more information needed to finish the two tables.
Answers
A (2) repairing of pumps takes several days
B (3) not enough money
Skills building 2: discussing in groups
In this unit, you will review the sentence structures used to make suggestions, ask for opinions, express agreement or disagreement and make conclusions.
1. In a discussion, people usually give suggestions. There are some sentences or sentence structures used particularly for this purpose. What sentences do you know are often used to make suggestions? Remember you should be polite or not too blunt when giving suggestions. Please make some sentences using the structures given on P60.
For reference
I think it would be a good idea to post our proposal on the Internet.
We could help by giving out leaflets to ask people to donate money.
I would like to suggest that we organize a charity show.
It would be a good idea if we sell old books to raise money
2. In a discussion, we also need to know opinions from others, and we often use questions to ask for other people’s opinions. Now please make some sentences to ask others for their opinions.
3. Now, use the skills we have learned in part A to skim and scan for specific information from the newspaper article in Part B and answer the four questions.
4. There are many ways to express personal opinions about a suggestion. Let’s learn how to express disagreement in a polite way. Please make some sentences to express agreement or disagreement using the sentence structures given in point 3 on P60.
For reference
I agree to organize a charity show because more people will come and help.
That’s a great idea, but who will star in the show, who will be the host, and where we will hold the show are all problems we must think about.
I’m sorry but I don’t think that will work because we will need lots of money for the show.
5. At the end of the discussion, the group members should make conclusions and work out a solution. Please make some sentences to give conclusion or solution using the sentence structures given in point 4 on P60.
For reference
So to summarize, our group has decided to organize a charity show.
In conclusion, we have decided to organize a charity show.
Step 2: making suggestions
Now, let’s use the speaking skills we just learned. Let’s have a discussion: What can we do to help the poor children in northern Thailand?
Sample answers
S1: All of us have listened to the news report and read the article about the poor children in northern Thailand. I feel really sorry for them. What do you think we can do to help them?
Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ll write down your ideas.
S2: I think we could help by raising some money for them. I’d like to donate my pocket money.
S3: That’s a good idea. I suggest that we make a poster telling the students in our school about what kind of life these children have. We can ask all the students to donate some of their pocket money.
S4: OK, that sounds like a good idea. I would like to donate some books.
S2: I’m sorry but I don’t think that would work. They won’t be able to read the books because they don’t understand Chinese. Maybe we can give them some English books. Does anyone have any other ideas?
S3: I think we can sell the old Chinese books to get some more money.
S4: Good idea. I would like to suggest giving them some clothes. I have many old clothes that I no longer wear. I think I could give them to the children there.
S2: I agree, but how can we send these books and clothes to them?
S3: We can go to a shipping company and ask if they can help to ship these things there.
S1: OK, so we’ve decided to raise as much money as we can and donate English books and clothes to children. We can also write a letter to them and tell them we want to help them.
Skills building 3: writing a proposal
When we want to give some suggestion, we sometimes need to write a proposal. In this unit, we’ll learn the structure of a proposal and what should be included in a proposal.
Read the six points in this part and try to find out which is the most important point in a proposal.
Step 3: composing a proposal
In this part, you’re required to write a proposal to UNICEF about how to help the hill tribe children in northern Thailand with information that you have learnt in Steps 1and 2.
1. Work in pairs and have a discussion: What should you write on the proposal to UNICEF? What title will you give to your proposal?
2. Now, work in groups of four to write the proposal.
3. Now, let’s share you proposals.
Possible example
Title: Helping the hill tribe children in northern Thailand
Group members: (Students’ own names)
Introduction: We have been researching the problems faced by the children in northern Thailand. There are many villages in northern Thailand where children do not have books. Their classrooms have no roofs. Many girls cannot go to school. Our group would like to help them.
Proposal:
We would like to help the children by:
donating the money collected from the students and teachers in our school
donating English books collected from the students in our school

●Project Making an action plan
Reading
1.At the beginning of this class, let’s watch a video. From it, we know that when a nation is in trouble, the people all over the world will give a hand. And we also know that when a destructive disaster happens, medical aid is especially important to the injured people.
Today we’ll read a diary entry of a nurse who works for an international organization that provides medical service around the world. After that, I’m sure you’ll have a better understanding about what can be done to help poor people in poor areas.
2. Pair work: Have a discussion about the following questions:
Have you ever heard of an organization called MSF?
What does MSF stand for?
What does it mean in English?
Who do you think the members of MSF are?
What do you think the members of MSF do?
For reference
About MSF:
The MSF role in emergency medical aid
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international humanitarian aid organization that provides emergency medical assistance to populations in danger in more than 70 countries.
In countries where health structures are insufficient or even non-existent, MSF collaborates with authorities such as the Ministry of Health to provide assistance. MSF works in rehabilitation of hospitals and dispensaries, vaccination programmes and water and sanitation projects. MSF also works in remote health care centres, slum areas and provides training of local personnel. All this is done with the objective of rebuilding health structures to acceptable levels.
Raising Awareness
In carrying out humanitarian assistance, MSF seeks also to raise awareness of crisis situations; MSF acts as a witness and will speak out, either in private or in public about the plight of populations in danger for whom MSF works. In doing so, MSF sets out to alleviate human suffering, to protect life and health and to restore and ensure respect for the human beings and their fundamental human rights.
Only a small percentage of the populations that find themselves in a situation of danger gain the attention of the media. MSF teams travel to places that many people have never heard of, to assist those who have fallen victim to natural or man-made disasters. MSF volunteers have a story to tell when they return from their missions, and they use their experiences to speak of what they have seen. For MSF, raising awareness for these populations and the situations they are in is an important task. Whenever possible, MSF volunteers give interviews and make presentations. MSF offices worldwide facilitate the organization of gatherings, for individuals and groups who want to speak in their home communities. MSF also mounts exhibitions and, from time to time, releases publications, with the aim of raising awareness.
It is part of MSF's work to address any violations of basic human rights encountered by field teams, violations perpetrated or sustained by political actors. It does so by confronting the responsible actors themselves, by putting pressure on them through mobilization of the international community and by issuing information publicly. In order to prevent compromise or manipulation of MSF's relief activities, MSF maintains neutrality and independence from individual governments. The organization also tries to ensure that the majority of funds raised for its work comes directly from contributions from the general public. In this way, MSF guarantees equal access to its humanitarian assistance.
MSF has been setting up emergency medical aid missions around the world since 1971.

●Self-assessment
This section aims to help you assess the progress you have made, how much you have achieved, and also what else you can do to improve your understanding. The colour bar with five levels rates how confident you feel about what you have learnt in this unit.
In part A, some items are presented to you and you are asked to check how well you think you have developed these skills. Each item corresponds to one or more parts in this unit. For example, after finishing Part B on page 57, you will know whether you are able to use certain words or phrases to introduce unreal conditionals correctly. You have the opportunity to evaluate your own skills and abilities in English. If you feel very confident about another item, you get a score of 2. After going over all the items in this part, you need to add all the scores up and divide the total amount by the total sum. Thus, you will get a percentage, which shows your level.
In this unit, 15 items are listed with each one scoring 5. The total score is 75 points. These items cover the main study targets in this unit, including listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, the usage of vocabulary and grammar items, as well as doing activities in English. Through assessing themselves as learners, you will realize whether you have achieved the goals for this unit.
If you feel there are some areas in which you are not confident or just slightly confident about, you can think about how to improve on them. In Part B, you are asked to make an action plan, so you will know what to do and take some effective measures. You can also have a better understanding of your students, enabling yourself to guide them and help them study English more effectively.

聯合國--讓每個人靠得更近
我很高興今天有機會跟大家談談聯合國，也叫UN------這個名稱在英語里更為常用。聯合國是一個國際組織，由所有愿意促進和平的國家組成，我很高興入選聯合國的-名親善大使。作為一名親 善大使意味著我要前往聯合國實施扶助項目的國家。能夠擔當這一角色，我感到非常榮幸。我會在后面跟大家談談我所做的一些工作，但首先我想跟大家簡單介紹一下聯合國的情況。那么聯合國是什么時候成立的呢?聯合國實際上是第二次世界大戰之后于1945年10月由51個國家聯合組建的。今 天，世界上幾乎每一個國家都是聯合國的成員------共有191個國家。聯合國建立在《聯合國憲案》基礎之上。該憲章確立了聯合國的四大宗旨，即：維護國際和平；發展各國之間的友好關系；進行國際合作，以解決國際間的各種問題，增進對于全體人類之人權的尊重；構成一個協調各國行動或工 作的中心。
如你所知，聯合國觸及世界各地每個人的生活。該組織參與維和行動，協助終止世界上一些最恐怖的沖突。觀看對戰爭地區的任何電視報道，你就會看到頭戴藍色貝雷帽的士兵。聯合國并不擁有自己的軍隊，而是向不同的成員國借用土兵。在這些軍隊和其他可敬的組織的協助下，聯合國為戰爭及災難的受害者提供援助。此外，聯合國還協助保護人權，致力改進各種國際法律，如有關童工的法律等。
以上是對聯合國的簡單介紹�，F在我要跟大家談談我所做的跟聯合國有關的工作。我參與聯合國的工作是無償的，是志愿工作。正如我剛才所說的，我主要訪問聯合國實施扶助項目的國家。那么，我如何通過訪問這些國家來達到幫助的目的呢?是這樣的，如果我訪問這些國家，電視和報刊等媒體就跟隨我，并記錄我的行程。這會提升人們對聯合國工作的意識。此外，我的訪問還會鼓勵那些致力于聯合國各種項目的人，吸引當地人民對相關情形的注意力。
到目前為止我訪問了非洲的許多國家。最近，我非常幸運，去了一次南非，在那里我會見了一些結組自救的婦女。她們每天從每個小組成員那里收取1蘭特(大約相當于人民幣1．35元)，將這些錢和政府資助給她們的一筆錢加在一起。這樣，婦女們就湊夠了錢去購買做籃子的編織材料。之后，她們就將編織好的籃子拿到市場上銷售。運氣好的話，她們的小組還能夠進一步擴大，或許還能開-個店鋪。這個自救小組是由聯合國婦女發展基金成立的，在聯合國的管理體系中還有很多此類的項目和基金，它們已經為全世界數以百萬計的人們提供了幫助。
除了由于戰爭和沖突所引起的各種緊急問題外，聯合國還幫助解決其成員國的其他問題，如教育匱乏、食品不足、貧窮、災難和疾病等。在2000年召開的--次聯合國會議上，所有的191個成員國 都同意，到2015年爭取實現八個發展目標。這八個目標其中之-就是保證每個人都能夠享受到新鮮 的飲用水。另外-個發展目標就是保證所有的孩子都能夠完成小學教育。如果大家想知道這方面更多的信息，可以瀏覽聯合國的相關網頁。現在，你們已了解到，由于聯合國的工作，全世界的人靠得更近了。

改變世界--我的義務
10月20日
到達這里后發現一切都是亂糟糟的。已經整整一周時間抽不出空閑寫日記了。整個島嶼都遭遇 了洪水的侵襲，許多人為躲避洪水都逃到山上。醫院嚴重被毀，已是一片狼籍，完全無法使用了。這-切對我來說是一個全然不同的體驗。通常情況下，我都是在那些缺水的地區工作，如肯尼亞和蘇丹，那些地方的主要問題是饑荒。在蘇丹，我們設立饋給站，確保人們能夠得到食物；我們還檢查嬰兒的健康狀況，確保嬰兒的體重在增加。我們還做一個接種宣傳活動，不再讓兒童死干麻疹。遺憾的是，這個活動是在遠離城市的鄉村進行的，那兒戰亂頻繁。躲避槍林彈雨、展轉奔波已經成了家常便飯。因此，這里的情形就完全不一樣了，所存在的問題也不一樣。我們非常擔心，諸如瘧疾和傷寒等由水傳播的疾病會爆發。這里沒有沙塵飛揚，我們看到的是一片汪洋。到處都是泥漿和水，讓此地到彼地的行程變得很困難。
昨天，醫療隊里我的同事和我(兩名醫生，作為護土的我，還有兩名助手)在城市的北面發現了一個空曠的醫療中心。我們準備在那里設立一個臨時診所，來自海外的醫療設備和藥品正在運輸途中。我們已經開始清理這個醫療中心。影響到健康的問題之-是，那些需要定期服藥的病人遇到這樣的洪災后很難得到藥品，比如，那些患有心臟病或者糖尿病的人就是這樣。輕微傷口也需要予 以處治，特別是在這樣潮濕的情況下。大多數病人的傷口是由于墻壁和屋頂坍塌所導致的。洪水使得傷口難以愈合，細菌容易擴散。同時，在這座城市的其他地區，住所以及食物和干凈水的供給都成了大問題。土地和莊稼都毀了，所以，營養不良會成為未來的一個問題。
食品已經開始陸續到達，但有一個問題，因為人們開始擔心自己是否能夠得到足夠的食品。今天上午，人們由于爭搶食品發生了好幾次打斗。這使我想起了自己在蘇丹所呆的那段時間，當時有好幾名“無國界醫生組織”的工作人員由于人們哄搶食品而受到了攻擊。
在這里有一個優勢，很多人都會說英語或法語。這讓彼此之間的交流變得容易多了，也易于了解他們的各種問題。當你和當地人不能說同一種語言時，你就很難弄清對方的問題。不過，我有很好的表演技巧，所以，即使在有語言障礙的情況下我還是能夠同當地人進行交流。在這里，很多人似乎就是要和你交談，所以，我發現我的工作不僅僅是做護士了，我還是一個聆聽別人傾訴和安慰別人的人。
想象失去一切，甚至包括一些你的家人，是非常可怕的事情。我們到這里做的第-件事就是為那些被殺害的人建一個墓地。我們需要盡快掩埋那些尸體，以阻止疾病的蔓延和傳播。這真是一件非常可怕的工作，我為那些死者的親屬感到非常難過。
回想起我參加“無國界醫生組織”以來在全世界范圍的所有經歷，我覺得自己能夠幫助別人，做一些值得的事情，這是非常幸運的。現在，我得考慮明天的事了。診所有望明天開門，到那時我就沒有時間記日記了。這里的經歷讓我珍惜我所擁有的一切，給了我-個從另外一個角度看事物的機會。我知道，作為個人我不能徹底改變世界，但我很自豪，因為我能到處給人多多少少提供一些幫助，在個人的層面上去改變人們的生活。
● Section 2 Background information about the UN
I. History of the United Nations
The name "United Nations", coined by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was first used in the "Declaration by United Nations" of 1 January 1942, during the Second World War, when representatives of 26 nations pledged their governments to continue fighting together against the Axis Powers.
In 1899, the first International Peace Conference was held in The Hague to elaborate instruments for settling crises peacefully, preventing wars and codifying rules of warfare. It adopted the Convention for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes and established the Permanent Court of Arbitration, which began work in 1902.
The forerunner of the United Nations was the League of Nations, an organization conceived in similar circumstances during the First World War, and established in 1919 under the Treaty of Versailles "to promote international cooperation and to achieve peace and security."
In 1945, representatives of 50 countries met in San Francisco at the United Nations Conference on International Organization to draw up the United Nations Charter. Those delegates deliberated on the basis of proposals worked out by the representatives of China, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States at Dumbarton Oaks, United States, in August-October 1944. The Charter was signed on 26 June 1945 by the representatives of the 50 countries. Poland, which was not represented at the Conference, signed it later and became one of the original 51 member states.
The United Nations officially came into existence on 24 October 1945, when the Charter had been ratified by China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and a majority of other signatories. United Nations Day is celebrated on 24 October each year.distressed area
“聯合國”這一名稱是由美國總統富蘭克林D羅斯福設想出來的。該名稱于1942年1月1日發布《聯合國宣言》時首次使用。時值第二次世界大戰進行期間，當時26個國家派出的代表承諾其政府將繼續共同對軸心國作戰。
1899年，第一次國際和平會議在荷蘭海牙召開。此次會議的目的是制訂旨在和平解決危機和防止戰爭的文件及編撰戰爭規則。會上通過了《和平解決國際爭端公約》，并依據該公約成立了常設仲裁法院。常設仲裁法院于1902年開始工作。
聯合國的前身是“國際聯盟”。該組織是在與第二次世界大戰情況類似的第一次世界大戰的背景下構想出來的。“國際聯盟”是根據《凡爾賽和約》于1919年成立的，其宗旨是“促進國際合作和實現世界和平和安全”。
1945年4月25日-6月26日，來自50國家的代表參加了在美國舊金山舉行的聯合國國際組織會議，會議的目的是起草《聯合國憲章》。代表們在中國、蘇聯、聯合王國和美國四國代表于1944年8月-10月在美國頓巴頓橡樹園會議上提出的提案基礎上進行了討論。1945年6月26日，50國家的代表簽署了《聯合國憲章》。當時波蘭沒有派代表參加此次會議，但后來簽署了《聯合國憲章》，因而成為聯合國51個創始會員國之一。
在中國、法國、蘇聯、聯合王國和美國以及大多數其他簽字國批準《聯合國憲章》之后，聯合國組織與1945年10月24日正式成立。從此，10月24日成為每年都要慶祝的聯合國日。
