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.

B
People come in all shapes and sizes,colors and races (種族). Some speak differently while others act differently.
My mother is in a wheelchair. I would like to say something about this special woman I call "Mommy".
My mom does what a mom needs to do every day. She picks me up from school,drives me to meetings,cooks dinner,and helps me with my homework. This is just part of what makes her great,though.
She is my best friend and can immediately notice when I am unhappy. She helps me solve problems that my friends do not understand. Mommy makes me laugh when times are tough. I look forward to coming home because I know there is someone there who cares about what I have done.
Mommy has always tried to be like a "normal" mom. But I think my mother is a wonderful woman and she doesn’t need to change. She teaches me life lessons that no teacher or friend can. She shows me how to accept everyone for what is inside,rather than what is on the outside.
You may have realized that all the qualities (品質(zhì)) I admire have nothing to do with what she looks like. Everyone could be the way she is,but most are not.
I want everyone to look beyond the surface and see what is inside others. You may fail to notice someone who is very special like my mom because you cannot accept their outside features.

I believe that everyone in the world loves their mother. So am I. My
mother is a ordinary teacher. She works hard, just as other
mothers do every day. In fact, she isn’t good health. She has been
suffering arthritis for many years. In spite of this, she never stops
working or giving up hope. I still remember the day and when my
mother received a card of congratulations for Teachers’ Day from her
director. The card was read “Thank you for your hard works; Happy
Teachers’ Day to you!” At that moment, I was so moving that tears
came to my eyes. I am proud of my mother because she is my best
teacher as good as my mother.
