[00:-6.00]The students had all volunteered to go without food for one day [00:-7.00]to raise funds for World Vision projects [00:-8.00]to help the poor in underdeveloped countries. [00:-9.00]Mr James Wood,their English teacher, [00:10.00]said that the students had suggested the idea themselves, [00:11.00]after seeing shocking pictures of famine in Africa. [00:12.00]They arranged the whole thing.'he said.'I'm very proud of them.' [00:13.00]Jane Austin,a senior High Grade 3 student,said, [00:14.00]'It seemed wrong for us to have lots of food, [00:15.00]while those innocent people were starving. [00:16.00]'Donations of more than $24,000 have been collected. [00:17.00]They came from the students' money for meals and money donated by sponsors [00:18.00]The students were delighted with the total amount. [00:19.00]'We were surprised that people were so generous. [00:20.00]'said Alan Long,a Senior High Grade 1 student. [00:21.00]FAIR HELPS FLOOD VICTIMS [00:22.00]Colourful signs,loud music [00:23.00]and exciting games attracted hundreds of visitors to a charity fun fair [00:24.00]at Rainbow School on Sunday. [00:25.00]There were over 30 stalls at the fair, [00:26.00]which was held in aid of flood victims in Bangladesh. [00:27.00]Mr Anita Li,the organizer of the fair,said, [00:28.00]'We were worried because there are so many charity appeals these days. [00:29.00]It seemed possible that very few people would come. [00:30.00]'At first it was difficult for me to think of new ideas for the stalls. [00:31.00]But then I asked my students.They were able to make lots of suggestions. [00:32.00]I was amazed at all their brilliant ideas.' [00:33.00]All her worries were forgotten as the fair was crowded with excited people [00:34.00]enjoying themselves in the warm autumn sunshine. [00:35.00]The portrait sketching stall,karaoke stall,games and food stalls were busy all day [00:36.00]Ms Li,a science teacher,calculated that the event had raised over $65,000. [00:37.00]WALKATHON SUCCESS [00:38.00]Over 200 students,teachers,parents and alumni of Hillside School [00:39.00]took part in a 10 km walkathon to raise money recently. [00:40.00]Andy Lever was the first home in just over an hour. [00:41.00]He actually walked the whole distance.' [00:42.00]The purpose of the walk is to raise funds for many school projects,' [00:43.00]We want to purchase more books for the library,equipment for the science labs [00:44.00]and to finance more school trips.' [00:45.00]Mike Temple,a Senior High Grade I student,raised $11,900. [00:46.00]'My mother agreed to sponsor me,'he said,'and she asked her friends. [00:47.00]Many of them were willing to sponsor me,too.' [00:48.00]The proceeds of the day came to over $150,000.'I was astonished at the total [00:49.00]'said Stanley Lewis,who organized it. [00:50.00]'We would have been satisfied with half of that amount.' [00:51.00]LISTENING SKILLS [00:52.00]pages 6 and 7 [00:53.00]Working with numbers [00:54.00]In this exercise,you will hear a question, [00:55.00]followed by a statement or short conversation. [00:56.00]Look at the information provided and the four possible answers. [00:57.00]Choose the best answer. [00:58.00]question 1 [00:59.00]A:Which stall have these people being working on? [-1:00.00]B:Well,we didn't do too badly. [-1:-1.00]A:No,but I'm a bit disappointed,I thought we'd make more than $500. [-1:-2.00]The ice-cream stall and the hamburgers made lots more than we did. [-1:-3.00]B:Never mind,we made more than the Portrait-sketching stall. [-1:-4.00]And we provide some amusement for a lot of people. [-1:-5.00]Question 2 [-1:-6.00]Which pad of paper does the woman decide to buy? [-1:-7.00]A:Hello!Can I interest you in buying any recycled paper? [-1:-8.00] All the profits go to charity? [-1:-9.00]B:Well,yes.I do need some.Let me see. [-1:10.00] I think I'll have one of these A4 pads with 80 sheets. [-1:11.00]A:With or without lines? [-1:12.00]B:With lines,please. That's $16,isn't it? [-1:13.00]A:Yes,but why don't you get this one instead? [-1:14.00]It's got twice as many sheets,but it's only a few dollars more,very good value [-1:15.00]B:You are right.OK, I'll have that one. [-1:16.00]Question 3 [-1:17.00]Which feature of these charities expenditure does the woman criticize? [-1:18.00]A:Look!This shows how the Green Charity spent its money last year. [-1:19.00]B:It only spent 4% on Administration. [-1:20.00] That's very good in comparison with many other Charities. [-1:21.00]The magazine is good value for money,too. [-1:22.00]56% on conservation not too bad,14% on recruiting new members[-1:23.00]I doubt whether that is worth while fundraising,19%. [-1:24.00]That looks high,but I know that it is cost effective. [-1:25.00]Because the events attract a lot more than that in donations [-1:26.00]Question 4 [-1:27.00]How much money does the man win? [-1:28.00]A:Come on,Sir.Have a dough,just $5. [-1:29.00]B:All right.Here you are. [-1:30.00]A:Thank you Sir,here are you darts. [-1:31.00]B:Right,here we go. There,what's that? [-1:32.00]C:A five. [-1:33.00]B:Now the second dart. [-1:34.00]C::Triple 20. [-1:35.00]B:That's 60.So I've got 65 so far. [-1:36.00]C:Right,here goes the last dart.Oh,no just one.That's 66 all together. [-1:37.00]B:Well done,sir.Here is your prize. [-1:38.00]Question 5 [-1:39.00]Which charity are the speakers talking about? [-1:40.00]A:Well,this Charity has certainly benefited [-1:41.00]from all the fundraising you've been doing at school. [-1:42.00]$5,000 is a very generous donation. [-1:43.00]B:Yes,it's one of our favourite charities. [-1:44.00] We let the students suggest which charity they want to support. [-1:45.00]A:But why are you giving them $3,000 more than last year?It's a big increase [-1:46.00]B:Well,it's located close our school [-1:47.00]so students can actually see the people they're helping [-1:48.00]That's why students like to support it. [-1:49.00]Question 6 [-1:50.00]At what time can you see the second demonstration by the police dogs? [-1:51.00]Ladies and gentlemen:welcome to our Annual Charity Fair. [-1:52.00]We are delighted to see so many people here today,despite the cloudy weather [-1:53.00]Now I'm afraid we had to make one or two changes to the program [-1:54.00]because of the weather [-1:55.00]The Opening Ceremony will take place in a couple minutes,at 1:15. [-1:56.00]And School Band will give a short,first performance after that. [-1:57.00]The Self defence Display will start at 1:40. [-1:58.00]Then we had to cancel the Radio controlled Model Aeroplanes. [-1:59.00]Because they can't fly in this sort of weather. [-2:00.00]And so,the Police Dogs will come on again in their place, [-2:-1.00]half an hour earlier than advertised. [-2:-2.00]Then at 4:30,we've a new item a karaoke competition.

[-2:49.00]Harry's donation began at a college blood drive some four decades ago. [-2:50.00]Since then,he has donated his blood regularly. [-2:51.00]Not once or twice a year,but every 56 days as often as the law allows. [-2:52.00]Even though he is now retired and travels extensively with his wife Barbara [-2:53.00]For people who need blood,Harry is not a movie legend.He is a real hero. [-2:54.00]Since up to four people can benefit from a single pint of blood, [-2:55.00]Harry Loomer,with a generous donation of 60 gallons (480 pints) of blood, [-2:56.00]has played a big role in helping save hundreds of lives. [-2:57.00]Connie Sessoms,Jr operates a trucking business in North Carolina,USA. [-2:58.00]As a young student,he recognized that donating blood required very little work [-2:59.00]and virtually no pain while helping to save a life. [-3:00.00]'People need to know how critical it is to have blood on hand,' [-3:-1.00]Connie advocates'There is absolutely no substitute for it!' [-3:-2.00]Connie is participating in a new Red Cross programme [-3:-3.00]designed to pair closely matched donors [-3:-4.00]with people who need blood regularly due to an ongoing illness. [-3:-5.00]He is now paired with a young African American child [-3:-6.00]who needs a pint of blood every two weeks because [-3:-7.00]the child is suffering from a disease called'sickle-cell anaemia'. [-3:-8.00]To ensure an adequate supply for this young patient, [-3:-9.00]Connie and another closely matched donor donate their blood every 56 days [-3:10.00]'It's not always convenient,'Connie admits, [-3:11.00]'but it's more than worth it to know that I'm helping this precious child [-3:12.00]I'm sure if other people know how critical their blood donations are, [-3:13.00]they would be willing to sacrifice,too.' [-3:14.00]B Listening [-3:15.00]The amount of ICRC expenditure in 1999 was 149.3 million Swiss francs [-3:16.00]for activities at their headquarters and 713.1 million [-3:17.00]for activities in the field. [-3:18.00]The ICRC received more than 337,000 Red Cross messages and sent over 304,000 [-3:19.00]thus enabling members of separated families to be reunited or to exchange news [-3:20.00]The ICRC distributed over 140,000 tons of food,clothing,blankets tents,ect [-3:21.00]worth US$105,000,000 in 50 countries,including US$23,000,000 of medical assistance [-3:22.00]The ICRC was the major supplier of medicines and other medical supplies [-3:23.00]and equipment to 14 hospitals in Asia and Africa.
