Unit 4 Helping people around the WorldSection Ⅰ Welcome to

the unit & Reading-Pre-reading

Anna really wanted to do something significant for her school before she went to college. But she couldn't think of anything meaningful that would influence the lives of her schoolmates.

One day, Anna saw a girl sitting by the school pond crying. Anna went up to her and said, “Are you okay? Is there anything I can do to help？” Anna found out that the girl was in her first year and was having trouble coping with her schoolwork. Then, Anna had an idea. She would start a tutoring group where seniors could help juniors who were struggling in their subjects.

Before long, many seniors volunteered to join Anna's tutoring group. Soon, Anna also started other support groups like “I'm not Alone”， which provided counseling for students whose parents had been divorced and “Crime Fighters” where students helped prevent theft. Anna was happy that she made a difference in her peers' lives. She was showered with flowers of appreciation from her friends at her graduation!

联合国——让每个人靠得更近

[第1～2段译文]

我很高兴今天有机会跟大家谈谈联合国，联合国也叫UN——这个名称更常用。联合国是一个国际组织，由愿意促进世界和平的国家组成。我很高兴被选为联合国亲善大使。作为一名亲善大使意味着我要访问联合国实施扶助项目的国家。能够担任这个角色，我感到很荣幸。我会在后面告诉你们我所做的一些工作。首先我向你们简单介绍一下联合国的情况。

那么，联合国是什么时候成立的呢？联合国是在第二次世界大战之后于1945年10月由51个国家联合组建而成。今天，世界上几乎每一个国家都是联合国的成员——共有192个国家。联合国有四大功能：维护国际和平；发展各国之间的友好关系；协作以解决国际间的政治冲突和促进对人权的尊重；充当一个组织各国行动或工作的中心。

[第3～4段译文

正如你们所知，联合国触及世界各地人们的生活。该组织正在协助终止世界上一些最恐怖的冲突。联合国没有自己的军队，而是向所属各成员国借用士兵。在这些军队和其他一些可敬的组织的协助下，联合国为战争及灾难的受害者提供援助。此外，联合国还协助保护人权，致力于改进国际法律，如有关童工和保护少数民族、妇女享有平等权利的法律。以上是对联合国的简单介绍。现在我要跟大家谈谈我一直在联合国所做的工作。我参与做的联合国的工作不是有偿的，而是志愿的，正如我前面所说的那样，我要访问联合国实施扶助项目的国家。那么，我如何通过访问这些国家来达到帮助的目的呢？是这样的，如果我访问这些国家，电视和报刊等媒体就会跟随我，并记录我的访问过程。这会增加人们对联合国工作的认识。此外，我的访问会鼓励那些致力于联合国项目的人，吸引当地人对有关状况的关注。
