    Do you know when and how the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) started?

    In 1859，during the war time，a Swiss man named Henry Dunant passed a town in Italy where many soldiers had been wounded. Dunant thought they should be cared for. A Swiss organization used his idea in 1863.When the organization became international, it was named the International Committee of the Red Cross.

    ICRC's emblem is a red cross on a white ground(衬底). People use it as a sign for army doctors. There are ICRC offices in many countries around the world now.12，000 ICRC workers are helping people in more than 80 countries.

    In China, there is an organization named the China Red Cross Society (CRCS). It is a part of ICRC .It started in 1904.Most of the people in CRCS are either full­time workers or volunteers. CRCS also has organizations in many schools. Student members learn to look up to the elderly and to help the weak. They are also taught to give medical care to people who are in danger.

    The Internet is many different networks around the world. A network is a group of computers that are put together. These networks joined together are called the Internet. Maybe that doesn't sound interesting. But when we've joined the Internet，there are lots of things we can do. We can have a lot of fun on the World Wide Web. We can use the Internet instead of a library to find all kinds of information for our homework. We can find information about our favourite sports or film stars and do shopping on the Internet. We can also send messages to other people by email .It is much cheaper and quicker than calling our friends or sending a letter. With the help of the Internet，the world is becoming smaller and smaller. People can now work at home with a computer in front of them, getting and sending the information.

    They can buy or sell the things on the Internet .But do you know 98% of the information is in English？So what will English be like tomorrow?

    When Ana Dodson was 11 years old, she travelled to Peru. She went on more than just a vacation. She was visiting her native country.

    Ana was born in Peru, but she was adopted(领养)by an American family and grew up in the USA. While in Peru, Ana wanted to know what her life could have been like if she had not been adopted. She visited several orphanages, including one in the hills of Cuzco, near her birthplace.

    "The orphanage was really cold and dry," Ana said. "The paint was falling off. The girls were in poor health."

    When Ana returned home, she kept thinking of the orphanage in Cuzco." I really couldn't get the girls out of my mind, and I really wanted to do something because I could have been one of those girls in that orphanage."

    Ana decided to start a group called Peruvian Hearts to help. Her goal was to improve orphans' living conditions. In the first two years, Peruvian Hearts raised about $18, 000 for the orphanage. The group also bought a chicken coop(鸡舍)so the girls can eat fresh eggs.

    Ana's efforts have been noticed. She won a Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes. The prize is given to kids who make a difference. Ana says any kid can do what she did. "Really believe in yourself, and follow your heart, "she says.
