    无国界医生组织

In 1971 there was a war in a part of Nigeria called Biafra, in western Africa. People were dying, children were hungry and there was a lot of disease. There were thousands of people who needed medical help—but there were no doctors or nurses to help them. Some doctors from France went to work there as volunteers, and some of them decided to start an organization to help the people in disasters all over the world. That was when Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) was born.

Since it started, MSF has helped people all over the world. The disaster might be war or an earthquake—anything that means people need medical help. The organization's headquarter is in Geneva(日内瓦), Switzerland. It is non­political—which means that no government controls it. About 90% of the money that MSF needs comes from personal donations. The rest comes from governments and businesses. MSF helps everyone, and it doesn't matter what their race, religion or politics are.

MSF has about 3,000 volunteer doctors in nearly 60 different countries. These__volunteers__not__only__give__people__treatment,_but__also__help__to__train__local__doctors__and__nurses.__MFS also sends engineers to poor countries to help people to do things like making wells, so they can have clean water.

In 1999, MSF won the Nobel Peace Prize. This was in recognition(认可) of the work that MSF has done, and of the courage of the men and women who work for the organization.

    纪念英雄的方式

Countries, cities and people all have their own heroes. There are different kinds of heroes: politicians, soldiers, film stars, sport stars and musicians. And there are many different ways of remembering them, too. Here are some of the things that we do to make sure that we don't forget our heroes.

Sometimes we build statues or sculptures of heroes, especially of politicians and soldiers, but sometimes of writers too. Many cities in South America have a statue of Simon Bolivar(he helped lead many South American countries to independence). And the famous Mount Rushmore in the USA remembers four US presidents of the past.

We often remember soldiers and other people who died in war with a monument,_like the Monument to the People's Heroes in Beijing China, or a memorial(纪念物), like the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Paris.

Some countries have a special remembrance day, like the one every January in the USA for Dr Martin Luther King, the human rights leader.

When Lady Diana Spencer died in 1997, in Paris, many people left flowers and messages near the place where the car accident happened. Now there is a Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park in London.

Sometimes places are named after famous people: for example, Liverpool, in England and Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil both have airports named after local musicians, John Lennon and Tom Jobim.

In Hollywood, The Walk of Fame has the names of film, TV and music celebrities in stars on the pavement(人行道). Very famous celebrities have their handprints, footprints and autographs in concrete (混凝土)at Hollywood's Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
