听力原文:An organization based in the United States honors people who, in its words, "stic

k their necks out for the common good." That means they take a risk. The organization is named for the animal with the very long neck. The group is called the Giraffe Project.

Phil Borges is among recent "Giraffe Heroes." He is a doctor who fixes people's teeth, but he is also a photographer. Mister Borges started an organization called Bridges to Understanding. It sends photographers to small villages to give cameras to children and teach them how to take pictures. Bridges to Understanding has sent photographers to Peru, the Arctic, Kenya, Nepal and India as well as a Native American village in Arizona. The Giraffe Project says Mister Borges stuck his neck out to connect children all over the world with photography.

The young man who killed him was Mister Felix's 14-year- old grandson, Tony. He is now in prison. Plez Felix apologized to the Khamise family for the actions of his grandson. He end Mister Khamisa now work together to tell young people that killing and violence do not solve problems.

Since 1982, the Giraffe Project has named more than 900 heroes. These "Giraffes," as they are aim known, do not receive money. Instead, they are presented as examples for others to follow. Their stories are told through the news media, schools and the Internet.

听力原文:Red Cross is an international organization that cares for people who are in need

听力原文: Red Cross is an international organization that cares for people who are in need of help. The Red Cross exists in almost every country around the globe. A man in a Beijing hospital who needs blood, a woman in Turkey who was injured in an earthquake, and a family in Indonesia that lost their home in Tsunami may all be aided by the Red Cross.

The idea of forming an organization to help people in need began with Jean Dunant. In 1859, he observed how people were suffering on a battlefield in Paris. He wanted to help the wounded soldiers despite which side they were fighting for. His efforts brought on the Geneva Convention, an international treaty. It protects prisoners of war, the sick and wounded, and other citizens during a war.

听力原文:One of the biggest problems in developing countries is hunger. An organization ca

听力原文: One of the biggest problems in developing countries is hunger. An organization called Heifer International is working to improve the situation. The organization sends farm animals to families and communities around the world. Pal American farmer Dan West developed the idea for Heifer International in the 1930s. Mr. West was working in Spain where he discovered a need for cows. Many families were starving because of the Civil War in that country. So Mr. West asked his friends in the Unites States to send some cows. The first Heifer animals were sent in 1944. Since that time more titan 4 million people in 115 countries have had better lives because of heifer animals. To receive a Heifer animal, families must first explain their needs and goals. They must also make a plan which will allow them to become selfsupporting. Local experts usually provide training. The organization says that animals must have food, water, shelter, health care and the ability to reproduce. Without them, the animals will not remain healthy and productive. Heifer International also believes that families must pass on some of their success to others in need. This belief guarantees that each person who takes part in the program also becomes a giver. Every family that receives a Heifer animal must agree to give that animal's first female baby to other people in need. Families must also agree to pass on the skills and training they receive from Heifer International. This concept helps communities become selfsupporting.

(33)

A.He was interested in the study of wild animals.

B.He started the organization Heifer International.

C.He was wounded in the Spanish Civil War.

D.He sold his cows to many countries in the world.
