His first successful fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa. Then, as the first black president, he fought to unite the country and organize the government. Now Nelson Mandela has set his sights on a new enemy, AIDS.

On March 19 the former president, hosted his second AIDS?awareness concert. He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected with the fatal disease.

Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa in 1918. He was adopted by the chief of his tribe and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life.

But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination(歧視). He decided to fight for equal rights for all the people in South Africa. Before 1990, under the country's Racial Segregation Law, coloured people and white people lived separately. Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus. Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board.

For his opposition to the system, Mandela was arrested and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and became the president of the country after the first election was held in which everyone could vote.

Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer and fought in the ring when he was young.

“Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one's body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat，”he wrote in his autobiography.

As a skillful fighter, he chose music as his weapon against AIDS. He hopes to win another victory against AIDS.

Are you learning a foreign 1anguage? Do you find it challenging to learn a foreign language? However，there are a few tips you can use in order to earn a top grade--as well as actually use the skills you've learned．

One of the most important and basic lessons in dealing with a foreign language is to learn and understand each concept and lesson before moving on to the next one．If you don’t understand one concept but move on to the next chapter anyway，you're less likely to understand the new material．

Learning a new language is not only an academic tool，but can help you in your everyday life as well．Being good at another language can help you communicate with other people，aid you when traveling to foreign countries，and even make your resume look better．

And it is important to learn correct pronunciation as soon as possible for poor pronunciation can be hard to break．Native speakers of the language as well as others fluent in the language you are 1earning will appreciate your efforts to learn correct pronunciation．

Gather outside materials such as books，study guides，books on tape，and travel books to aid you in learning the language．Your textbooks can't possibly teach you everything you need to know，so seeking out—side sources is generally a good rule of thumb to keep in mind．

A significant motivator in learning a foreign language is traveling to the country where the language is spoken．That way，you can see firsthand how the language is used，learn the culture，and meet native speakers of the language．Native speakers appreciate sincere attempts of others who take the time to learn their language．

Seek out native speakers of your new language in your school or neighborhood．They can help you with many skills，including pronunciation，and they can provide immediate feedback on your progress．

1.This passage is written to __________.

A．explain why learning a foreign language is challenging

B．tell us the importance of learning foreign 1anguages

C．tell us some ways of earning a top grade

D．give us some tips on learning foreign languages

2.What's the best subtitle of Paragraph 3?

A．Think beyond academic tool.

B．Learn each concept.

C．Plan a trip to use your skills．

D．Consider a language as an academic tool.

3.We can learn from the passage that __________.

A．textbooks are not good for us when 1earning a foreign language

B．1earning pronunciation well from the very beginning is very important

C．poor pronunciation can be easy to break with the help of native speakers

D．seeking too many outside sources will be more harmful than beneficial

We know that cigarette smoking kills． So, producers made electronic cigarettes as a safer smoking choice - safer than tobacco． Although e-cigarettes contain the drug nicotine like cigarettes, they do not use tobacco and you do not light them． They are powered by battery （電池）．

However, if e-cigarettes are so safe, why has the United States Center for Disease Control（CDC） seen an increase in telephone calls about e-cigarette poisonings?

The answer is children． Most of the calls are from people worried about children who have played with the devices, In the period of one month this year, the Center said 215 people called the Center with e-cigarette concerns． More than half of these calls were for children aged five and younger． The devices had made them sick．

Tim McAfee is director of the Center's Office on Smoking and Health, He says the problem is regulation． Meaning, the U．S． federal government does not control e-cigarettes even though they contain liquid nicotine． Mr．McAfee adds that liquid nicotine is a well-known danger． Mr．McAfee explains that nicotine poisoning happens when it gets into the skin, gets into the eyes or is swallowed． It can cause stomach pain or a sense of unbalance． And too much nicotine can kill,

Tim McAfee says e-cigarettes do not create the level of risk to people that tobacco products do．He notes that almost 500,000 Americans die each year from cigarettes． "So, cigarettes are the winner in that contest．" E-cigarettes do not contain hundreds of harmful chemicals that are found in real cigarettes． So, the U．S．Surgeon General Boris D． Lushniak has suggested that e-cigarettes may be a useful tool for adults trying to end their tobacco use．

But McAfee worries that teenagers may think electronic cigarettes are harmless． They could become addicted to the nicotine and then start smoking real cigarettes． In other words, he fears that for young people fake e-cigarettes could be a "gateway" to the real thing．

1.What do the producers think of e-cigarettes?

A． Dangerous． B． Expensive．

C． Safer． D． Cheaper．

2.Why did the CDC receive so many calls about e-cigarettes?

A． Parents feared that their children might get poisoned,

B． Parents found the device useless in quitting smoking．

C． Children swallowed the liquid nicotine from the device．

D． Children might get addicted to playing with the device．

3.It can be inferred from the passage that ．

A． the CDC wants to develop a better type of e-cigarettes

B． the government is in favor of the use of e-cigarettes

C． Surgeon General Boris D． Lushniak is a heavy smoker

D． smokers most probably can't quit smoking using e-cigarettes

4.What is Tim McAfee's opinion about smoking?

A． Adults should use harmless e-cigarettes．

B． Smoking e-cigarettes can make a person sick．

C． He claims that regulations should be made to ban smoking．

D． He is concerned about the teens using e-cigarettes．
