I am wearing a small red ribbon this morning to remind myself and others around me that today is World AIDS Day.
The red ribbon, an international symbol of AIDS awareness, is gaining increasing public recognition as more Chinese, from top leaders to movie stars, wear it today.
Gone were the days when the topic of HIV/AIDS was a public and media taboo(禁忌). Over the past few years, we have watched, read and heard many stories from doctors, volunteers and public health officials at the forefront of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment.
Quite a few people with HIV/AIDS have come forward to share their experiences on TV or in the media.
The local and central governments have become more forthcoming (be helpful) with their new prevention and treatment programmes, and financial input. The latter rose from less than 1 million yuan (US$ 121,000) in 1986 to a pledge of 800 million yuan (US$98.8 million) in the year of 2006.
The change from silence to public and media campaigns with official promises has been remarkable, especially since China battled through the SARS crisis.
But have we got a full grip on HIV/AIDS? What do we know about the extent of HIV/AIDS in China?
The figures, ranging from confirmed cases to estimates, remain debated. After all, no more than a year has passed since the policy of free medical tests was made public. Unknown numbers from the high-risk groups: drug addicts and people working in sex- related places as well as farmers who once sold blood could still be reluctant to come forward.
69. What does the red ribbon stand for?
A. AIDS                         B. World AIDS Day
C. AIDS awareness                 D. AIDS prevention and treatment
70. Which of the following is Not true according to the text?
A. The topic of HIV/AIDS was a public and media taboo in the past.
B. The topic of HIV/AIDS is now still a public and media taboo.
C. Now a lot of people with HIV/AIDS have come forward to share their experiences on TV.
D. The writer wears a small red ribbon because today is World AIDS Day.
71. In paragraph 5 “the latter” refers to ____________________.
A. financial input                     B. new prevention programmes
C. new treatment programmes           D. the central governments
72. We can learn from the text that high-risk groups of HIV/AIDS in China include the following EXCEPT __________________.
A. drug addicts                 B. people working in sex-related place
C. farmer who once sold blood    D. people getting close to those affected with HIV/AIDS

Barcelona December 22,2007.
Spain’s “El Gordo,” the word’s biggest lottery (彩票), gave out 2.2 billion euros (歐元) (1.6 billion pounds) in Christmas prizes on Saturday.
El Gordo, Spanish for "The Fat One", is designed so that as many people as possible across Spain get a festive windfall. The top prize this year was 3 million euros -- going to the series of tickets with the magic number 06381.
Because the tickets are sold in a series of 10, only those who paid 200 euros for the whole strip get the full prize.
The biggest share of winning tickets was bought by people in the town of Nava, in the north-western Asturias region.
The draw lasts three-and-a-half hours and is carried live on national television with children from the San Ildefonso school, a former orphanage in Madrid, in turn chanting the winning numbers and the amount won.
Lotteries have two centuries of history in Spain. The country spent 2.87 billion euros on the lottery -- 5.7 percent more than last year. Seventy percent is paid out in prizes. Most of the rest goes in costs. Eight out of ten Spaniards bought tickets for the lottery, spending on average 64 euros. Spaniards often choose lottery numbers matching significant dates although there was no particular favourite in 2007. In 2006, one of the most sought-after series was 22105, the date on which Fernando Alonso became Formula 1 world champion for the second year running.
小題1:The underlined word “windfall” in paragraph two probably means         .
A.fat giftB.unexpected fortune
C.big feastD.wind and snow
小題2:Who is likely to win the full prize in El Gordo?
A.People who paid 200 euros for the wole group of series.

D.People who chose lottery numbers matching Alonso’s date.
小題3:According to the text, children from the San Ildefonso School in Madrid will         .
A.host the draw of lottery live on TV
B.offer a show of three – and – a – half hours
C.perform with the lottery draw as Christmas celebration
D.help make some declarations for the draw as invited guests
小題4:What can we learn about the history of lotteries in Spain?
A.Most of the money people spent on lotteries goes in the cost.
B.The majority of Spaniards have the experience of buying lotteries.

D.As the biggest in the world, Spanish lotteries have a history of two centuries.

The truth in other words
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”
The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”
What he had written was : “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.             The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
The first is : Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can.
The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!
56. The man wrote some words on one side of the boy’s sign because       .
A. he thought that the blind boy didn’t know how to write
B. he wanted to prove that the boy was really blind
C. he thought that the boy couldn’t get any money
D. he wanted to help the poor blind boy
57. The changed sign worked better than the original one because        .
A. the original sign told people to do things, which people don’t like
B. the second sign made people see their health as a gift, which made them willing to help
C. the original sign pointed out a kind of suffering that people don’t care about at all
D. the second sign drew people’s attention to another problem the boy had
58. We can learn from the story that the man who rewrote the sign was        .
A. creative      B. patient       C. funny      D. curious
59. The story shows us that        .
A. thinking in a different way can get us out of trouble
