Google, the Internet search engine company, has announced that it will give more than twenty five million dollars in money and investments to help the poor. The company says the effort involves using the power of information and technology to help people improve their lives.
Aleem Walji works for Google.org—the part of the company that gives money to good causes. He said the company’s first project will help identify where infectious(传染性的) diseases are developing.

Sweden, Britain and Denmark are the only members of the 15 nation European Union that do not use the euro( 欧 元 ). Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen says the result of the Swedish vote will have no effect on his plans to decide by early next year on whether to call a new referendum(公民投票) on the euro. Denmark voted no in 2000.
British Labor Party member Chris Bryant, who is chairman of the Labor Movement for Europe, says that more than half of Britain’s trade is with Europe, and he hopes Britain will be joining the euro as soon as possible. British Prime Minister Tony Blair had said previously his government is committed in principle to joining the euro, provided that economic conditions are right.
In Sweden, meanwhile, euro opponents have hailed the defeat of the single
currency. The leader of the Left Party, Ulla Hoffman, said the people have made it clear democracy comes from the bottom, not from above. The Left Party, along with the environmentalist Greens, fought against the euro. But Prime Minister Goran Persson, who led the movement for the euro, said Sweden would have worse opportunities without the common currency in the long term.
Euro supporters say that it would have improved trade with the 12 nation zone that uses the euro, and that a no vote would leave Sweden without a voice in EU
