The Gentleman in White In 1859, Italy and France were at war with Austria, and Henry Dunant, a young Swiss gentleman, came u

36、pon one of their battlefields. For the first time in his life, Dunant saw how heartless war would be. Around him were suffering men untended and left to die where they fell. Henry Dunant went to work at once. Helped by several peasant women, he formed an ambulance service and set up headquarters in

37、a little church. He treated the wounds of Frenchmen, Italians and Austrians alike. When he was asked why he did so, his answer showed a spirit of humanity that was not common in those days. We are all brothers. A wounded enemy is an enemy no longer. With his band of assistants, Dunant helped to save

38、 many lives. The gentleman in white (as Dunant was called because he wore a white suit) was looked upon by hundreds of wounded men as little short of an angel. When Dunant returned, he could not forget the needless suffering on the battlefield. The more he thought of it, the more he felt that someth

39、ing must be done. He ended his book with the following questionwould it not be possible, in time of peace and quiet, to form relief societies to arrange for the care of the wounded in wartime by zealous, .volunteers? He thought of a great organization that should be planned to take in many nations.

40、It would do its work with the approval of all countries. And it must operate under a sign that all would know: its symbol would be a red cross against a white background. One man alone could hardly make this vision come true. But Henry Dunant resolved to do what he could. First of all he wrote a boo

41、k to make the public see the need for this great organization. In the book he included a truthful account of what he had seen on the battlefield. The consequence was that readers were shocked by what he described. A wealthy lawyer, one of Dunants countrymen, was the first to act. He chose Dunant and

42、 four others to form the Committee of five, which was to look into the idea of an international society. After the investigation, all the nations of Europe were invited to a meeting in Geneva on October 26,1863, at which it was decided a relief society should be formed in each country. Then the Gene

43、va Convention was made the following year. The nations that signed the Geneva Convention chose the red cross as the symbol for the international organization. Until his death in 1910, Dunant was always ready to look for a noble cause. And when the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded for the first time in

44、1901, the honor went to Dunant. No man has deserved it more than the founder of the Red Cross. 1.

For Questions 1-5, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks.How

48、 does your reading proceed? Clearly you try to comprehend, in the sense of identifying meanings for individual words and working out relationships between them, drawing on your explicit knowledge of English grammar. 1 You begin to infer a context for the text, for instance, by making decisions about

49、 what kind of speech event is involved: who is making the utterance, to whom, when and where. The ways of reading indicated here are without doubt kinds of comprehension. But they show comprehension to consist not just passive assimilation but of active engagement inference and problem-solving. You

50、infer information you feel the writer has invited you to grasp by presenting you with specific evidence and cues. 2 Conceived in this way, comprehension will not follow exactly the same track for each reader. What is in question is not the retrieval of an absolute, fixed or true meaning that can be

51、read off and clocked for accuracy, or some timeless relation of the text to the world. 3 4 This doesnt, however, make interpretation merely relative or even pointless.

52、s of the same words on the pageincluding for texts that engage with fundamental human concernsdebates about texts can play an important role in social discussion of beliefs and values. How we read a given text also depends to some extent on our particular interest in reading it. 5 Such dimensions of

53、 read suggestas others introduced later in the book will also dothat we bring an implicit (often unacknowledged) agenda to any act of reading. It doesnt then necessarily follow that one kind of reading is fuller, more advanced or more worthwhile than another. Ideally, different kinds of reading info

54、rm each other, and act as useful reference points for and counterbalances to one another. Together, they make up the reading component of your overall literacy or relationship to your surrounding textual environment. A. Are we studying that text and trying to respond in a way that fulfils the requir

55、ement of a given course? Reading it simply for pleasure? Skimming it for information? Ways of reading on a train or in bed are likely to differ considerably from reading in a seminar room. B. Such background material inevitably reflects who we are, factors such as the place and period in which we are reading, our gender ethnicity, age and social class will encourage us towards certain interpretation but at the same time obscure or even close off others. C. If y
