　　 Celebrations spread across China when Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl, was given the right to host the 2010 World Expo(世博会) on December 3.

　　 Shanghai won the honor after beating rivals from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea.

　　 “I’m very proud of being Chinese,” said Wang Kaibo, a Senior 2 student of the Middle School Affiliated(隶属) to Beijing Medical University. “The winning of the expo is a victory, not only for Shanghai residents, but for the people of the whole Chinese nation.”

　　 Bidding(申办) for the expo shows that China is more confident of playing a more important role on the international stage. It’s competing for large events and the next one could be the World Cup, Wang said.

　　 The World Expo 2010 and the 2008 Beijing Olympics will become the twin shining stars of China’s development over the next 10 years, said experts.

　　 The World Expo is known as “Olympics of the economic, cultural, scientific and technological fields.” It is usually held every five years and lasts for six months.

　　 The Olympics, World Cup and World Expo are considered three top international events in the world. China is the first developing country to win the expo bid in the event’s 151-year history. Not only will it attract more foreign investment to China, but experts say that the half-year-long exhibition will bring at least 70 million visitors to Shanghai.

　　 The World Expo is a great event for different countries to exchange social, economic, cultural and scientific achievements, and also help to encourage new technology and ideas. The expo was first held in London in 1851. It has a history of global influence. The Eiffel Tower, built during the Paris World Expo in 1889, became the symbol of the French capital. Many historic inventions, such as the telephone and airplane, all made their first appearance at a World Expo.

　　 The Red Cross is an international organization which cares for people who are in need of help. A man in Paris hospital who needs blood, a woman in Mexico who injured in an earthquake, and a family in India that lost their home in a storm may all be helped by the Red Cross.

　　 The Red Cross exists in almost every country around the globe. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent, the Red Mogen David, the Sun, and the Red Lion. All of the agencies(机构) share a common goal(目的) of trying to help people in need.

　　 The idea of forming an organization to help the sick and wounded during a war started with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859, he observed how people were suffering on a battle field in Italy. He wanted to help all the wounded people without caring about which side they were fighting for. The most important result of his work was an international treaty called the Geneva Convention. It protects prisoners of war, the sick and wounded, and other citizens during a war.

　　 The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881. Today the Red Cross in the United States supplies a number of services for the public, such as helping people in need, teaching first help, demonstrating(演示) water safety and artificial respiration(人工呼吸), providing blood.
