The worldwide organization of the Red Cross stems from the idea of Henri Dunant, a Swiss banker. In 1838, at the age of ten, [221Dunant was taken by his father to visit a prison. There he saw prisoners chained together exercising in the yard and breaking stones along the road. [221This experience left a deep impression on him and made him determined to do something for convicts and slaves and for all who were oppressed and deprived of their liberty. On 24th June 1859 while on his way from Geneva to France, Dunant witnessed the battle between the French and Austrian armies. It was one of the fiercest battles of the 19th century. Shocked by the lack of medical supplies and attention given to the wounded, f231Dunant decided that volunteer service had to be organized. He gathered together a number of women who attended the hundreds of wounded soldiers of all nationalities and helped the surgeons as best as they could. From that battle, Dunant determined to form a body of people who would rally together in times of war and attend to the needs of the wounded and dying. Dunant held that a suffering human being should be helped for his own sake only without regard to race, religion, or political beliefs. Many European states supported him and on 22nd August 1864, the first Geneva Convention was signed. This lays down that once a soldier is wounded, he and everyone who comes to his help cease to be an enemy. A symbol by which the relief workers could be recognized was devised. As a tribute to Switzerland, the symbol was the Swiss flag reversed. That is a red cross on a white ground. So the Red Cross was born.
22. What first led Henri Dunant to think of helping the oppressed?
23. What did Henri Dunant do during the battle between the French and Austrian armies?
24. What was Henri Dunant’s belief when he founded the Red Cross?
25. Why was the symbol of the Red Cross designed with a red cross on white ground?
选项
A、To honor Swiss heroes who died in the war.
B、To show Switzerland was neutral.
C、To pay tribute to Switzerland.
D、To show gratitude to the Swiss government for its financial support.
答案
C
解析
根据“As a tribute to Switzerland,the symbol was the Swiss flag reversed”,可知红十字标志的设计是为了对瑞士表示敬意。故选C。
