9、保)that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization(UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the pr

10、oblem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a group of devoted（献身的） men and women is every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes. More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective

11、to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could

12、 share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water puri

13、fication plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things.

14、y can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back form time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands. Many countries run extensive courses in all

15、 sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be

16、given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.21. According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time ? A. By solving the cost problems B. By solving the transportation problems C. By relying on the d
