United Nations officials say now fewer people than they thought are infected with the AIDS virus.

Last year, the agency known as UNAIDS thought that 39.5 million people were living with HIV．On Tuesday it reduced by 16% to a little more than 33 million.

Agency officials say the low number reflects better information form more countries．The agency reduced the number for five African countries: Angola, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria and Zimbabwe.

Also, UNAIDS says it now believes the number of new HIV cases per year reached a high in the late 1990s at more than three million．This year, it thinks that 2.5 million people became infected, and 2 million people died of AIDS.

Luckily, better treatments are saving lives, and more people are getting the drugs.

Yet even as the number of new infections has dropped, UN officials say AIDS is still one of the leading causes of the death worldwide, and the major cause in Africa．African death rates remain high, they say, because treatment needs are not being met．Sub-Saharan Africa had almost 70% of the new cases of HIV reported this year．UNAIDS officials say this is a sharp reduction since 2001, but there is a need to further improve research method.

Billions of dollars are being spent preventing and treating HIV．Experts worry that the new number may lead to a drop in financial support．But UNAIDS officials say they do not change the need for immediate action and more money．They warn that in some countries, infection rates that were falling are rising again now．

The World's Largest Insect

This giant insect can be used as a toy.

A child ties one end of a string to a stick and the other end around the "neck" of an insect. Holding the stick, the child lets the insect go. With a loud whirring sound, the insect takes off, pulling the string in a large curve over the child's head. The child laughs as the stick jumps around. The child is African, and the toy is the African Goliath beetle, the largest insect in the world.

The Goliath is a true insect because it has six legs and a body that is divided into three parts. Like all beetles, it has two pairs of wings. The front pair are thick and stiff and protect the back pair, which are soft. It is these soft back wings that make the beetle fly forward. They also cause the loud whirring sound the beetle makes when it flies. To steer, the beetle twists and turns its legs the same way you steer a bike by turning its front wheel.

African children often use the Goliath beetle as a toy. Although it is over 15 centimeters long, it is quite harmless.

The African Goliath beetle is _______. 

A. the world's largest insect

B. a toy used in many parts of the world

C. the only insect found in Africa

D. the world's smallest insect

What made the whirring sound that the child heard?

A. The curved string.                         B. The beetle's soft wings.

C. The beetle's six legs.                             D. The beetle's body.

Americans are proud of their variety- and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform. whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?

     Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity (身份) than to step out of uniform ?

     Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes.  They save on laundry bills.  They are tax- deductible ( 可減稅的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.

     Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.

     Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.

【小題1】It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality ___________.
