AIDS’ Threat to Asia Grows
NEW DELHI----Just a few years ago, Mala was a typical middle-class Indian housewife. She cooked, cleaned and looked after her two small children.
Last year, her life took a tragic turn. Her husband died of AIDS; she was found out HIV-positive and her mother-in-law took her children away from her, saying they would get the disease. “When friends dropped for a visit, she would introduce me, saying, ‘She is my son’s widow. She has AIDS,’” said Mala. AIDS is now described as “explosive(炸藥)” around the world. A study of a hospital in the port city of Durban in South Africa, where the world’s biggest and Africa’s second AIDS conference opened last Sunday, found that almost half the beds in medical wards (病房) were occupied by AIDS patients.
South Africa has one of the world’s fastest growing HIV infections, with 1,700 people infected daily, adding to the 4.3 million, or 10 percent of its population, living with HIV. Until now, Asia has been more successful in holding the AIDS virus than Africa, where the disease has killed about 12 million people.
AIDS is now threatening to surround many of Asia’s poverty-stricken countries. Countries in Asia, such as Cambodia, and Thailand, have HIV infection speeds over 1 percent. But the low speeds hide huge numbers of infected people, because of the population base.
In India, for example, 3.7 million are infected, more than in any other country except South Africa. In China, an estimated 860,000 people (the actual number may be a little larger), mainly drug users, live with HIV/AIDS. Gordon Alexander, a senior advisor for UN AIDS in India, estimates that the number hit by AIDS in Asia will climb about eight million over the next five years from about six million.
In many Asian countries, the battle against HIV is a social and cultural one against public discussion of sexual health put a nationwide media campaign into action to limit the speed of HIV through unsafe sex. Brenton Wong, an official for Singapore’s Action for AIDS, says the actual HIV incidence in the city state of 3.9 million people is at least eight times higher than official data. “Shame and deny is still very, very common so people are afraid to get tested and many times won’t even tell their families if they test positive,” said Wong.
We can conclude from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph that ______.
A. The official data always tell lies and cheat people to hide the truth.
B. 3.9 million people in Singapore suffered from AIDS.
C. Singapore has a population of 3.9 million
D. The number of people infected with HIV is at least eight times larger than that of the AIDS patients in Singapore.
It is judged that there are ______ people hit by AIDS in Asia or so.
A. 4.3 million B. 6 million C. 8 million D. 3.7 million
According to the passage, the main reasons that AIDS spread in Asia is through_______.
A. blood B. unsafe sex C. love D. drugs
Which of the following statements is not right?
A. The battle against Aids in many Asian countries is against their culture and
social customs.
B. Though the HIV infection in Asia develops with low speed, the infected number
is still quite large compared to other continents.
C. India has the second largest number of HIV infected people.
D. Aids might affect the poverty-stricken countries more severely.

Last week, 120 school girls were 19 by a gas leak(泄漏). Most have recovered but six are still in 20 . Even though the local government speaks about the 21 of education, most of the kids here only attend school for four hours a day if they are lucky. They are so excited and 22 to learn, but then have to 23 things like being attacked. Most of these kids are 24 and can’t afford a pencil or even paper. So I’m planning a trip to several schools to talk about 25 and to give these kids some of the 26 they need. That is where all of you can help. If you can 27 whatever school supplies you have available, that would be 28 appreciated.
I know how busy you are so thank you for taking the 29 to do this and I will post pictures of this 30 after I return.

A Man Named Lawrence This is an act of kindness that happened to me one Sunday morning. It was at two o'clock in the morning. We just came out of a club and were trying to find our 1 back to our city. As we were trying to 2 the bus stop, a man came to us and said he would show us 3 it was. Although we were a little 4 , we had no choice but follow him. He told us he was a homeless man and that his name was Lawrence. When we passed some city workers 5 the streets, they sprayed (噴濺) the homeless man. Lawrence told us that they always sprayed the 6 if they were "in the way". I didn't know why they would do that. They were human beings, 7 , not cattle or objects. This man had just gotten 8 in the middle of a cold night, but 9 shouting at the workers, he asked them, "How would you 10 if your father or grandfather were treated like this?" He then told us, "It's 11 use shouting at them, because they just get angry. You're better off saying something from the 12 ." It is 13 ! The world could be so different if only we put our anger 14 , lowered our voices and tried to speak from our hearts. He took us safely to the stop and on the way talked about everything. We 15 him and told him that we 16 have never found the place on our own. He said, "I have a son of your age, and I hope that if he were 17 , someone would help him." Not only did Lawrence clear out all the fear and distrust in our hearts, he helped us find our way, in more than one ways. 18 , this man taught us kindness. There was 19 we could really do to repay him. The only thing I hope to do is to 20 other people out. | ||||
