When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure that the aid reaches thepeople for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficultfor a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization(UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises theproblem of costs and time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men andwomen in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.

More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would bemore effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says,“”If we followthis wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take careof themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This couldbe in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care oreven in building satellites. Even a small country is able to help less developed nations.Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or theadministration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking for solutions tosolve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange studentscould be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft whileon the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homeland and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be trulyhelpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.

Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to includedeserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countriesconcerned, there is also the buildupof friendships to consider. Giving direct help bygiving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in theevent of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.

Zhang Ying, 23, could have been a news host after four years studying broadcastingand talk show hosting at the university. So could Du Xintong. Instead of just becomingtalking heads on TV, they decided to use their knowledge to help millions of children withspeech disorders to find their own voices.

There are only 10,000 speech therapists in China, many of whom are not fulltime.Unlikecommon volunteer work, to be a speech therapist volunteer, complex training is requiredbefore services can be offered.

“Speech therapy is a complex subject which requires knowledge, including training ineducation, psychology, linguistics and so on,”Zhang says, adding that their team hasdeveloped a training system for the volunteers to grow into professional speech therapists.They prefer to employ college students majoring in related subjects, such as broadcasting,linguistics, Chinese languages and literature or special education.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When I was a kid, my godparents, Uncle Nell and Aunt Frances, brought me a fourmontholdpuppy. She was half German shepherd, half collie. As her pink tongue tickled(挠痒) my face with wet licks, it was love at first hug.

My family named the puppy Dusty. Although I wanted to lay sole claim to her affection,in a family of seven kids, no one lays permanent claim to the family pet.

Dusty was our dog, not“my”dog. We soon realized that she had much patience. Mybaby sister often transformed Dusty’s warm fur into a naptimepillow, falling asleep onthe rug. Like a protective mother, Dusty waited without moving until my sister woke.

Dusty doubled as a school crossing guard, too. Monday through Friday, she’d walk uskids two blocks to St. Patrick’s Parochial, looking at both ways to check for traffic be fore allowing us to cross the street. We’d wave goodbye as we entered the door, knowingDusty would be waiting at the school door to claim us at the close of the school day.

Of all the contributions Dusty made to our family, one incident stands out far andabove all others. Late one night, Dusty rushed to my parents’bedroom. She barked andbarked. When she got no response, Dusty raced upstairs to my bedroom and my brothers’bedroom and barked again and again. When she failed to fully wake us, she flew back downthe steps and returned to my parents’ room. Finally, she got Mom’s attention.

“What are you doing, Dusty?”Mom snapped, still halfway in dreamland. Dusty persisted.Finally my mother gave in.“Okay, what is it?”

Dusty whined (哀鳴) and rushed out of Mom’s room. Thinking the dog needed to be letout to relieve herself, my mother followed Dusty to the front door.

When Mom opened the door to let her out, Dusty tore across the street, not stopping todo her business as my mother had assumed. Then she discovered what Dusty already knew.
