The Good Samaritans

Texte Bac

These are not the people you expect to come to the rescue. Rock stars are designed to be shiny, shallow
creatures, *furloughed from reality for all time. Billionaires are even more removed, *nestled *atop fantastic
wealth where they never again have to place their own calls or defrost dinner or fly commercial. So Bono
spends several thousand dollars at a restaurant for a nice Pinot Noir, and Bill Gates, the great predator of
5 the Internet age, has a trampoline room in his $100 million house. It makes you think that if these guys can
decide to make it their mission to save the world, partner with people they would never otherwise meet,
care about causes that are not sexy or dignified in the ways that celebrities normally require, then no one
really has a good excuse anymore for just staying on the sidelines and watching. []

The challenge of stupid poverty the people who die *for want of a $2 pill because they live on $1 a
10 day was enough to draw Gates away from Microsoft years before he intended to shift his focus from
making money to giving it away. He and Melinda looked around and recognized a system failure. Those
lives were being treated as if they werent valuable, Gates told FORTUNE in 2002. Well, when you have
the resources that could make a very big impact, you cant just say to yourself, O.K., when Im 60, Ill get
around to that. Stand by.
15 There have always been rich and famous people who feel the call to give back, which is where big marble
buildings and opera houses come from. But Bill and Melinda didnt set out to win any prizes or friends .
Theyve gone into international health, says Paul Farmer, a public-health pioneer, and said, What are
you guys kidding, is it the best you can do? Gates standards are shaping the charitable marketplace as he
has the software business. He wants to know where every penny goes, says Bono, whose *DATA got off
20 the ground with a Gates foundation grant. Not because those pennies mean so much to him, but because
hes demanding efficiency. His rigor has been a blessing to everyone not least of all Bono, who was at
particular risk of not being taken seriously, just another guilty white guy pestering people for more money
without focusing on where it goes. When an Irish rock star starts talking about it, people go, yeah, youre
paid to be indulged and have these ideas, Bono says. But when Bill Gates says you can fix malaria in
25 10 years, they know hes done a few spreadsheets. []
Bono grasps that politicians dont much like being yelled at by activists who tell them no matter what they
do, its not enough. Bono knows its never enough, but he also knows how to say so in a way that doesnt
leave his audience feeling helpless. He invites everyone into the game, in a way that makes them think
they are missing something if they hold back. After so many years in Washington, says retired Senator
30 Jesse Helms of North Carolina, whom Bono recruited for his cause, I had met enough well-known people
to quickly figure out who was genuine and who was there for show. I knew as soon as I met Bono that he
was genuine. He has absolutely nothing to gain personally as a result of his work. In fact, he has opened
himself to criticism because he has been willing to work with anyone to find help for these children who
have taken his heart.

Squence 8-AN01

35 This is not about pity. Its more about passion. Pity sees suffering and wants to ease the pain; passion sees
injustice and wants to *settle the score. Pity implores the powerful to pay attention; passion warns them
about what will happen if they dont. The risk of pity is that it kills with kindness; the promise of passion is
that it builds on the hope that the poor are fully capable of helping themselves if given the chance. In 2005
the worlds poor needed no more condolences; they needed people to get interested, get mad and then
40 get to work.

 Faites un plan. Il faut une introduction et une conclusion.
 Reliez vos ides par des mots de liaison, vous devez savoir par cur une douzaine de mots de liaison,
crivez-les au brouillon maintenant cela peut vous amener dautres ides.
 Faites des paragraphes, attention donnez au moins un exemple par paragraphe.
 Ne perdez pas votre temps en comptant laborieusement les mots de chaque phrase, une ligne
contient de 8 10 mots, pour 250 mots crivez 25 lignes.
En recopiant au propre, restez concentr, crivez trs lisiblement.

Respectez le nombre de mots demands et indiquez le nombre de mots que vous avez crits.
 Il est absolument indispensable de vous relire au moins deux fois et de vous concentrer sur la grammaire. Eliminez les erreurs dinattention les plus courantes : le s oubli la troisime personne
du singulier du prsent, les fautes de temps ou daccord, les accords singuliers / pluriels, la place
des adjectifs et leur invariabilit, etc.

Si vous voulez russir votre preuve danglais, vous devez savoir grer votre temps. Il faut
faire toutes les questions, quitte ne pas terminer la comprhension. Un lve en srie L qui
