The latest United Nations report on the AIDS spread paints a sad picture. It concludes that the regions of the world most affected by AIDS will experienced rapid increases in deaths among young adults. This will have serious social and economic results.
The spread of AIDS and the virus that causes it, HIV, is particularly destructive in Africa. It is estimated that in sub-Saharan Africa, over twenty-four million adults and children are now living with HIV. In sixteen sub-Saharan countries, according to the UN, at least ten percent of the people between the ages of fifteen and forty-nine are HIV positive(陽性). In South Africa and Zimbabwe, half the people between those ages may die of AIDS. In Botswana, about one in three adults is infected, and some two-thirds of the country’s fifteen-year-old boys may die before they grow up.
As a result, agriculture, business, education, and healthcare are already suffering serious loss. The United States is spending millions on prevention campaigns and making AIDS treatment more affordable. Money is also being used to reduce mother-to-child transmission rates, support home and community-based care, and provide care for children orphaned by AIDS. The Peace Corps will soon make an all-out effort to bring AIDS education to the countries most at risk. It is important that the governments and citizens of those nations most affected by AIDS do their parts to fight against it. Some, like Senegal and Uganda, have already begun programs for disease prevention. These countries are experiencing falling or stable HIV rates and less suffering. But for other nations, much remains to be done.
1. The report shows that __________.
A. more deaths are caused by AIDS B. more places are affected by AIDS
C. more young adults are dying of AIDS D. the spread of AIDS can never be controlled
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The spread of AIDS is getting worse and more dangerous in Africa.
B. In South Africa and Zimbabwe, 50% of the population may die of AIDS.
C. In sub-Saharan Africa, 90% of the population are not affected by AIDS.
D. In Botswana, about one-third of the children are infected with AIDS.
3. The money used to fight against AIDS doesn’t include that for ________.
A. children orphaned by war B. reduction of mother-to-child transmission
C. home and community-based care D. prevention and treatment

It is now commonly known that AIDS is a deadly disease. It does great damage to human beings’ immune system, weakening resistance to disease and leading to death due to utter(徹底的) weakness. To this day, there are no existing drugs that can kill the AIDS virus. It is a deadly battle between science and AIDS.
This is only one side of the story. Although it cannot be cured, AIDS is preventable. For those who have not caught the disease, the knowledge of preventive measures seems to be the most powerful weapon at hand.
Since the discovery of the first AIDS patient in 1985, the number of HIV carriers is on an alarming rise in China and statistics show that young people are the more likely victims of AIDS. Nationwide there are 214 million people between the ages of 13 and 22, most of whom are students. If no measures are taken to protect these young people, it is almost certain that the threat of AIDS will be very real to them. There has been a great deal of misinformation concerning the transmission of AIDS.
One of the most misleading myths is that AIDS can be transmitted by casual physical contact such as kissing, shaking hands or sharing food container. Surveys and investigations conducted in some universities and colleges show that half of those people questioned are not clear about how AIDS is transmitted, not to mention how it is prevented.
This is the driving force behind the State Education Department’s decision to spread AIDS awareness information among college students and later to high school students and primary school students.
4. Why does the passage say that AIDS is a deadly disease?
A. Because it destroys the immune system of the human body.
B. Because the AIDS patients cannot resist diseases and will die.

5. By writing “This is only one side of the story”, the author suggests that __________.
A. although we can’t cure AIDS, we can manage to prevent it
B. AIDS is very dangerous, but we should not be scared of it
C. AIDS is not curable, but doctors should not give up fighting against it
D. although the doctors cannot cure the disease, they can help improve the patients’ health
6. What can be concluded from the surveys and investigations mentioned in the passage?
A. No college students know people become AIDS victims.
B. 50 percent of college students do not know how to prevent AIDS.
C. Many college students are not aware how people become AIDS victims.
D. Many college students did not mention AIDS prevention in the surveys and investigations.
7. What is the best tile for this passage?
A. China Fights AIDS B. Young People ---- Most Likely AIDS Victims
C. AIDS Information Is Necessary D. AIDS ----- A Deadly Disease

On September 22, 1986, Jay Brunkella, a police officer in the Rogers Park district in Chicago, was shot during a drug arrest and died. Shortly afterwards, fellow officer Ken Knapcik, a 20 year veteran （老警官）of the force, returned home after work to find a note from his 15 year old daughter on the dinning table.
Dad - “This poem came directly from my heart. I love you so much! It scares and amazes me that you go out every day and risk everything to provide us with all that we have.

She had never told me she was scared." He took the poem to work the next day and showed it to his fellow officers. "I’ve never seen so many grown men cry. Some could not finish it."
Knapcik keeps Laura’s poem in the pocket of his police jacket. He takes it with him every time he leaves the house for a new shift. "I don’t want to be out there without it," he said, "I’ll probably carry it with me forever."

Dear fellow students,
Today is 26th June, the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. It is a day when all nations are expected to work together to fight against drug abuse.
It is reported that over one million people in China take illegal drugs and the number is still increasing. Worse still, a large number of them are teenagers.
Once addicted to drugs, it’s difficult for you to get rid of them. Many drug takers lose their possessions or families in order to obtain drugs. Some even commit crimes and end up in prison.
As high school students, we must know the danger of drug abuse. We should try our best to help those who need help. We should stay away from drugs and value our own lives.
Dear fellow students, for the benefit of ourselves, our families and the whole of society, let’s start right now and spare no effort to make our life better!
