At the time, France was fighting with the Italian army in a war against Austria. However, he needed the help of Napoleon III for one of his business deals. Dunant knew that Napoleon Ill would be with his army in northern Italy, so he travelled to the city of Solferino to look for him.Dunant arrived on the night of 24 June and found a battlefield filled with 40,000 dead and wounded soldiers. Dunant was horrified by the scene and was filled with compassion for the wounded men. At once, Dunant began attending to the wounded men. In the days that followed, he led local people in helping take care of the wounded and dying. They looked after the soldiers without regard to country or uniform, saying, “All are brothersWhen Dunant returned to Switzerland the following month, he wrote a book about his experience called A Memory of Solferino. Within the book, he described the battle, its costs, and the chaotic circumstances afterwards. He also developed the idea that in the future, a neutral organization should exist to provide care to wounded soldiers. Dunant began to travel through Europe to distribute the book and promote his ideas. His book was largely positively received. This eventually led to the forming of the International Committee of the Red Cross in 1863.The first act of the Red Cross was to organize an international conference (the Geneva Convention) where countries adopted guidelines and measures for protecting the wounded and medical workers during and after battles. While the Red Cross is mostly tasked with helping people in times of war, it also responds to natural disasters and gives aid to people who have to leave their homes. For example, the Red Cross provided aid and relief after the May 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake in Sichuan, China.Dunant himself gave up everything to save the world. His business failed because he was too busy with his work in the Red Cross. Then Dunant had to leave the Red Cross because of a personal conflict. Despite this, he continued to work as a volunteer, helping provide relief to people caught up in war. In the end, he lost all his money, fell ill, and had to be taken in by a charity. By this time, the Red Cross had become famous, but he was mostly forgotten. In the last years of his life, though, he was discovered by a newspaper reporter. From then on, he was celebrated around the world as the man responsible for saving many thousands of lives. Though he is long gone, his spirit continues with us until this day.24. Where does Dunanfs idea of forming the Red Cross come from?A. The encouragement of other devoted volunteers.B. His travel through Europe to distribute the book.C. His unsuccessful business deals with Napoleon III.D. His experience to help wounded soldiers in Solferino.25. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?A. Dunant's business failed because of the outbreak of war.B. Dunant finally left the Red Cross and no longer continued to volunteer.C. In Solferino, the volunteers attended to the soldiers only from Austria.D. Dunant travelled Solferino originally to look for Napoleon TTI for business deals.26. How does the Red Cross aid people in need according to the author?A. Organizing international conferences.B. Giving aid to homeless bankrupt people.C. Helping people in times of natural disasters.D. Providing guidelines for protecting soldiers.27. What can best describe Henry Dunant's quality?A. Generous and confident.B. Responsible and selfless.C. Easygoing and intelligent.D. Determined and independent.CTwenty years ago, crises （危机）like the California's wildfires and Hurricane Laura that occurred last year could have been described as "natural disasters'： Thanks to climate change, this is no longer the case. Around mid-August last year, the temperature in Death Valley once reached the highest ever recorded on Earth. A hotter, drier California is much more likely to burst into flames （突然着 "Q）. The Gulf of Mexico too is heating up. Hurricanes draw their energy from the warmth of the surface waters and so are becoming stronger and more likely to increase. Perhaps we should call these events in a new term, "man-made natural disasters95.People now play such an important role on the planet. By cutting down forests and digging mines and building cities, we've changed half of the ice-free land on Earth. With our advanced tools, we move around more earth than all the world's rivers and streams. As a result, all sorts of disasters extend across the line between man and nature. Many earthquakes, for example, are now caused by human activity. Meanwhile, as the climate continues to warm, wildfires will grow even larger and storms more damaging.Whafs to be done? According to some scientists, the best way to deal with human intervention （干涉）in the natural world is to intervene better. Old technologies got us into this situation; new ones will get us out. Supporters of this view note the striking advances that are being made all the time, in fields ranging from computing to material science. To prevent climate change, engineers have built machines that take CO2 out of the air. Today the numbers are limited, but perhaps one day they'll be as common as telephones.As for me, I think that the choice we face is not whether to change the world; that decision unfortunately has been made. The decision going forward is how are we going to change it. Over the years I've interviewed scores of scientists, inventors, and industrialists, and I'm continually impressed by how clever humans are as a species. But then the wind blows in smoke from 3,000 miles away, and I'm reminded of how dangerous we are as well.28. What does the first two paragraphs want to tell us?A. Natural disasters have become much more severe.B. People have changed the earth with advanced tools.C. Natural disasters now are caused by human activity.D. People now play such an important role on the planet.29. Why does the author mention machines that take CO2 out of the air?A. To prove that greenhouse effect problems are solvable.B. To explain that we can intervene better in the natural world.C. To show that technological advances are striking all the time.D. To indicate that new technologies will be very common one day.30. According to the last paragraph, the author would agree that.A. we should not change the world any moreB. we should feel proud of humans, intelligenceC. we should reconsider the way we change the worldD. people should be aware of the potential threat from human activityDMost students do an IQ test early in their school career. Even if they never see their results, they feel that IQ is what determines how well they are going to do in life. When they see other students doing better than them, they usually believe that those students have a higher IQ and that there is nothing they can do to change facts. However, new research into EQ suggests that success is not simply the result of a high IQ.While your IQ tells you how intelligent you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence. Professor Salovey, who invented the term EQ, gives the following description. At work, it is IQ that gets you hired, but it is EQ that gets you promoted. Supported by his academic research, Professor Salovey suggests that when predicting someone's future success, their character, as measured by EQ tests, might actually matter more than their IQ.Professor Salovey may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the smartest students in your class, who you think deserve good grades, sometimes end up failing exams? Perhaps their failure is becau
