3. A summary of the article
    In July,2010, there was a baby had Aids. Doctors used 18 months to save his life, but because of some reasons, they stopped to save baby. However, after a half of year, a doctor found that children with HIV test results turned out to be negative. That means this children don't need to take medicine, the body's immune function and the normal state. It is a great pioneering work to Global Medicine World, and we have a wish to slove this disease, but the expense is too high and there are not enough medical resource, so not all the people can be saved and medicine profession is working hard to find a better way.

4. Your thoughts about how the article helps you better understand the UN.

Maybe there are some people think that the UN is not useful, but from this article, l know the UN has something helpful. As we all know, Aids is a very powerful, no matter what age, nearly nobody could live in this disease, but now we have a example, that means we have choices to treat Aids. What’s more, l know the UN is helpful to people, it can have enough power to have a big medicine community that have enough ability to treat many diseases and we will all very happy.



5. What other information about the UN did you learn from your group members?

Maybe the UN have something not fair because of imbalance of the power, but after l reading others’ news, l found it is wrong. The news is about Korea, nuclear test. As we all know, Korea is not allowed to produce nuclear weapons, but it often produce these and it not cared about the Security Council’s words. There are many countries did not agree that, but it haven’t stopped producing it. I learn that in the UN, there are many struggles, some countries need to make more powerful weapons to protect themselves and powerful country don’t want less power countries catch up. If we want to get peace, we need to make us more powerful at first.

4. My thoughts about how the article helps me better understand the U.N.
I think U.N. is always trying to keep peace of the world.    U.N. is try to be fair to every states.The article helps me better understand the U.N. because the problem in North Korea is very known so it is easy to understand.    U.N. often do the vote to decide something with many countries. And the article told me that U.N. is very against North Korea to have nuclear weapons. Thant's the opinions of many countries.

5. What other information about the U.N. did I learn from my group members?
I learned that U.N. helps many countries when they are in troubles. Natural disaster such as earthquakes and floods, or hunger and refugees. For example, U.N. spent about 138 billion dollar in 2012 to help the states where had natural disasters.  U.N. has many organization to solve problems more detailed.   U.N not only helps the states where need help, but also gives advices.

Evans’s homework

1, The Report of WHO

2, http://www.unmultimedia.org/radio/chinese/archives/180477/

Tip: The article is in Chinese, I translated it into English.

3, The WHO said the 2012 European health report for 900 million population health 53 European countries was analyzed. 

Stein said, "the aging of the population has the features of Europe. 

According to a report in 2010, the European women‘s life expectancy reached 80 years old, but the men than women should vary a lot, for 72.5 years. 

According to the report, child mortality in Europe as the world's lowest, at about 7.9 per thousand. 

Report also pointed out that the ischemic heart disease, stroke, cancer and other non-communicable diseases are the main cause of death in Europe, accounting for 80%.

4, The article is about the real action of WHO. 

It helps me to know how the U.N. work for people.

It also tells me that what should WHO do for the people.

There is an example of Europe and it can tell us that the best in Europe and the worse in Europe. 

I can know that the U.N. is very responsible. 

5, Sometimes the U.N. doesn’t have ability to do something.

Sometimes the U.N. doesn’t have effects after it take the actions. 

When there is a war, the U.N. has no way to stop it.

But when there is some problems that is not difficult, the U.N. can solve it very well and quickly.

And the U.N. has a big influence.

A2:http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=44402&Cr=democratic&Cr1=korea#.UUQWfbSt_8c

In the end of the article, it mentioned that  Key humanitarian aid include food and nutritional assistance, agricultural support, water, sanitation and hygiene and health interventions. But they are underfunded,  in 2013, a total of $147 million is needed, of which only 27.8 per cent has been received so far.

A4:Well, this article showed us that humanittion aid is one of the UN‘s responsiblities. And the humanitation aid can be provided to every country even the countries which aren't in UN, like North Korea.And also, it showed that UN also need financial support  to develop their work.

The massive planting is able to letthe human have a better air and life in a few years. We have
 made a large numbe of pollution, such as CO2. We are supposed to plant more green plants to

Ms. Michelle Bachelet has a great work in her job. She is a good Executive Director of UN Women. Her fearlessness in advocating for women's rights raised the global profile of this key issue. She glory to resign. And all the people in UN always welcome her come back, and want her to keep giving them advices.

4.Your thought about how the article helps you better understand the UN (at least 5 sentences)
i think this article help me to know the UN's worker are good at leading and they can make the people in the world have better lives.

A1: Enhanced road safety laws can save more lives, says UN health agency

A2: http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=44366&Cr=road&Cr1=

A3: 14 March 2013 – Governments need to revise their driving laws and vehicle safety standards if the number of deaths from road traffic crashes is to be substantially reduced, the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) today reported, showing that more legislative muscle and better enforcement is needed to keep pedestrians, drivers and cyclists safe on the roads.

A4: I know that something about UN in affecting other countries. Although UN isn't an country, it also can't make others do the things they want, it still can make its own opinion to affect others. This can be let them stop a war, change their law or something else. So maybe in this way UN is great useful.

A5: Well, because of the time we didn't talk too much about that, here are some points I got. Some of my partners said about North Korea, and some of the thought that "UN decided to judge it this time, that good, it protect our safety". But some of them thought that "judge? Oh, what judge? Will it work? I don't think so!". In my opinion, although maybe it won't work, but at least there is someone says it try to protect world's peace and human rights.
 
Q1 What is the Cold War?
Political and diplomatic confrontation, competition.
In th history, it‘s the war between the US and the Soviet Union.

Q2 What makes the Cold War ‘Cold’?
Mutual containment, but without resorting to force.
There is no fire, no fighting, but both parties deadlocked.

Q3 Imagine that you lived in China during the Cold War, how do you think your life might have been affected by it?
If I lived in China during the Cold War, my life will be boring,
I need to be nervous and serious all the time, no more laugh and joking.
It made people panic, no one know that what will happen.

Q4 Why do you think the Cold War is so important in modern history?
Let people know that not only war with fight, but also Cold War.
I think the Cold War is much more terrible than the real war. It broken the relationship and Increased hostility level.

Q5 Any other thoughts about the Cold War?
There are two different kind of cold war.
One was in the real war with countries has conflicts and disagreements,
the other was the broken between the relationship.

 
Cold War is the war between the US and the Soviet Union. In this war there was no fight during the Cold War. The reason why the Cold War is ‘cold’ is that there was no fighting, two superpower only found some other countries to agree their opinion. They were deadlocked with each other, so it is ‘cold’. I think when I lived in China during the Cold War, my life might be very variant and tense. I think that the importance of the Cold War is that the Soviet Union has been destroyed and the US has been only the superpower country in the world and it becomes stronger and stronger. I think the Cold War is very good for the world, because it made the world has a powerful leader and change the world’s style.
